I have mixed feels about this one. It started out really good for me. Anna the free spirited small business owner is someone I admire. The fact that she doesn't have serious relationships totally makes sense. Given her past experience with Freddy the F-head, I can understand. Max is pretty hot. His drive and all together control is something I like too. The fact that they are best friends who fall for each other, very sweet and up my alley. The first third of the book was dead on for me. From there it started to go downhill. The contrived conflict in Anna's heads was plain stupid for me. If Max is her best friend, she should know better. I guess it's true when they say love makes people stupid.
I have been told this is a BDSM book. I beg to differ and have reclassified as sugarkink. There is a bit of bondage and nothing else. I recommend this book for people who love best friends becoming lovers. If you are reading it for the smutty aspect, this is not the book for you. If you are reading it for the BDSM, this is definitely not the book for you.
