 Well I enjoyed Curio so much I went straight to this one after. Seemingly you couldn't get two books futher apart in style. Yes this one is erotica too but where Curio is like a fine vintage wine to be savoured slowly, WV is like a body shot of tequila. Curio is actually quite sweet and there are some nice themes about innocence and trust and it has the whole tasteful french thing going on. WV is not like that. Everything about it is harder around the edges (even the opening scene where the heroine is overhearing some random couple fighting), the energy is raw and unrelenting - the love interest is Boston working class, a huge guy with tattoos who spends his free time in an underground boxing club and just oozes with a dont f**K with me attitude (and yes he's a dirty talker). A little surprisingly the heroine, who has up until this point been coasting through her life, pursues him, even after she finds out that he likes his sex rough and domineering. The erotic parts of this story are incredibly well written, the role playing scenes could easily have become a train wreck of squick but the author walked the fine line so well and deftly kept everything within the realms of two consenting adults. (There is a warning at the beginning for content also). 4.5 stars. 
 My only complaint is the ending came too soon, just as both characters begin to share their true feelings for each other and show some of the character development that you would expect in a longer piece the ending just..happens. I know it's a novella but it felt like there could have been more. Also I agree with some of the other comments re the title. It's misleading and I think does the story no justice.
