Submission

I have mixed feelings about this book. It started out pretty interesting and there are parts that I enjoyed, but at the same time it could have been so much better.

I liked the characters, the openness and the communication, it was actually nice reading about it. At the same time the first book of the series (didn't read the others yet) deals mostly with Noah and Tobias' relationship, the start of it, and I would have liked to find out more things about them individually. There are some, but not enough. I am pretty sure more will be revealed in the sequels and that's probably the only thing making me want to continue reading the series.

The book reads very easily. There are a few moments that stand out a bit, but overall I'd say it is pretty forgettable. It didn't stir anything, I couldn't fully get into it, I didn't feel strongly for the characters. I highly doubt this will change in the sequels, but I am curious.

As for the BDSM aspect of it, not bad, but not great either. The scenes are okay, but that's about it. I wouldn't say it is hot. I am not a big fan of the writing style, but as I said it reads easily.

Overall there's nothing spectacular about the first book of the series, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but eh, a lot of people seem to have really enjoyed it so maybe give it a try.
