Fleur de Nuit

OH MY GOSH GUYS.

So when I agreed to review this book, it was because it sounded sort of interesting and I hadn't done a blog tour stop in a very very long time. I didn't have high expectations for the book. I was prepared to come out of it firmly feeling “meh”. Since 50 Shades, there have been so many books about kink – and most of them aren't done well at all.

But then I couldn't put it down.

I stayed up until 1am when I was already exhausted because I simply couldn't stop reading this book. This is the kind of book that gets under your skin and in your heart.

There are a few things that irritated me – which bumped it down to 4 stars instead of 5 (but oh my gosh guys – it's so good). First, Moira went from a broken woman to Dominatrix extraordinaire way too quickly. That process should have likely taken months – or at the very least weeks. In the book, it happened in days. Second, I had a hard time believing that someone who went through what Moira did would so easily be able to step into this lifestyle. It was handled well in the narrative, but I just couldn't suspend my disbelief at the beginning.

But truthfully, those things are easily overlooked in the grand scheme of things. This book. THIS BOOK. This book gave me everything I was hoping for (a decent romance) and then SO MUCH MORE.

Cat Montmorency understands kink. She understands the difference between being Dominant and being abusive.

The primary rule of a Dominant/submissive relationship is to hurt, not harm.
