I love the hero and heroine of this story. They are both such thoughtful people and really care about the world around them. They have good chemistry, too. I also liked the concept of this story and think the story flows quite well. This is a new-to-me author and I found I enjoyed this book, it was a good solid read. I just didn’t find it great or amazing; it was lacking depth.
First, with the description of this book it seems it will fall into the category of erotic romance. It really doesn’t. There is a scene or two that I would consider BDSM-lite. The Dom/sub relationship Noah and Olivia are supposedly going to delve into after finding each other through a discreet app never really comes to fruition. I will say that I love the way Noah explains the Dom/sub relationship and what it means to be a Dom. That was well thought out and informative. But just because you call your lover Sir doesn’t make you a submissive or him a dominant. I have no doubt Noah had past encounters that would put him in that role. It is at least addressed later in the book that he treats Olivia differently than any other woman before. Their sexual relationship seemed to be more along the lines of a long-married husband and wife that are dabbling in BDSM to see if it’s something they would enjoy, not the sexual exploits of a man who has a fierce dominant side he can’t keep down.
There are also a lot of missing or wrong words in sentences, but I’m going to chalk that up to me reading an ARC. I’m a huge fan of the publisher Loveswept and I’m confident those issues will be tidied up before publication.
All that being said, I did find this story to be somewhat engaging and I was rooting for the couple to find their HEA.
