The bondage (even vanilla-flavored) ordinarily would have discouraged me from reading. Can't say why it didn't, but I'm very glad I read this. I don't think I can add much to what's already been said. I loved the drawn out sensuosness and the subtle erotic language.

One of my favorite lines: He loves Blair’s shoulders, the hard curves that fit perfectly into his palms, the strength that Blair hides beneath loose flannel. Now Jim feels like it is his secret, too.

I can't really explain why that'smy favorite line except for the intimacy it suggests and how it demonstrates what Jim treasures about Blair.

I thought the pacing was right on target and the end hit the perfect note.
