Kate has returned from California. She also returns to Stronghold where Andrew works and scenes. Both are wary of the other because of the past but cannot keep their eyes off each other. They have grown and changed. Can they get back together? What was their past?

I think this is my favorite book in the series, so far. I liked the graphicness of the scenes. I felt like I was in them (but I wasn't Kate.) The two of them are made for each other. They push each other to their limits and beyond. That is what broke them in the past. Andrew thought he had passed her limits. Kate felt as though she had failed to be what he wanted. I loved that Kate laid into Andrew and his actions towards the other subs through the years. She did not let him down easy. I appreciated that Andrew could not finish a scene with Kate because of their past. I liked that everything was not perfect, that Doms fail and need to safe word also. I also felt it was necessary to bring into the story the negative feelings people outside the lifestyle put out towards those in the community and the consequences. Her mother was a hoot though about the lifestyle.

I love this series. I am looking forward to more of it. ( )
