Story: Jack & Amelia. It was a bit confusing that it wasn’t explained in the beginning how Jack became rich. That had me confused a bit in the beginning and I would have preferred that explained from his perspective in the beginning of the book. It was weird to me that the Amelia was a bit too perfect for the Jack. I didn’t really feel like there were things to overcome or struggle through with their relationship. There were some funny moments like when he talked about one of his past experiences with BDSM.

The middle dragged for me a bit. There was this moment when it came to Jack saying that he wanted to purchase clothing for her. And he said he’d only shop with her if she allowed that. And when she said “if it is your wish... sir” I didn’t feel like it was genuine. I felt like Amelia was playing at being submissive instead of actually being it. Unfortunately, choking while going down on a guy isn't something I'm into. That was pretty prominent in this story.

I enjoyed the end and felt that the bondage was very interesting. It was a HEA. There was nothing wrong with the book, it just didn’t hold me interest as much as I’d hoped. I didn't feel like there was enough growth with the characters.

Narration: Molly StJohn. This was the first narration by this narrator. I hope she can improve her male voice to make it a bit more deep. When I listened to the sample, I thought I'd enjoy it more. It's okay for a first time though.
