My Review:
This was a book I was really nervous to read, because there were so many reviews and I wasn't sure that the author would be able to satisfy me with Mark's book and while I know there are novella's involved, I think this portion of their story could have used some more fleshing out in some ways. It didn't quite have the depth as some of the other couples related to this world. I did enjoy Mark's story but it lacked some things that left me feeling a bit empty at times. I think I was hoping the mixed reviews were false lol but no they were correct in that this book was a bit of a disappointment in comparison to what we see from the other books in the series. I think their story had some solid storytelling and I really enjoyed the emotional aspects at times, but I didn't quite connect with this couple much. I also was expecting more BDSM than there was. I was hoping that would be more explored to what the blurb hinted it would be at. I did enjoy the suspense side plot though, that was really interesting to get that other piece of the puzzle that fell in place, but at the end of the day this book was flawed and could have been better in connecting the couple.
