And, I will so that I can understand and accept Sade with baggage and all. That being said, I have some questions about the S/M parts of the story that will need to be researched-after I write my review. So this is my first experience reading about S/M. I mean we introduce ourselves as Hi I am - and I'm into S/M. So I do not know if I have ever had a friend that had any of these desires or practiced them in their private life. In Life most of us do not identify to the public, co-workers or new friends what we do in our sex life. The books I have mostly read are HEA some kind of romance-PNR, Historical and contemporary. Could Lucian do something else, is there another way he could get out ,could I handle the darkness of the book?, What was going to happen to my tender heart that I have spent a lifetime trying to control. I questioned why the particular move that Sade made to get out of Mercy's death grip had to be that way. I received the snippets along the way that Lucian offered.
