Misha quickly puts twenty-six-year-old college sophomore Ryan O'Connor in his place, which is exactly what Misha expected to happen.

When forty-five-year-old university professor Dr. Yes, there was lots of sex, but there was more to it than that. Yes, BDSM was a major factor in the relationship between the main characters, but it wasn't limited to just that. Lo and behold, this book was above and beyond what I was expecting. I had already been disappointed once with the previous book I mentioned, but Witt is an author who has rarely made me regret picking up one of her (or her alter-ego's) titles.

A few weeks ago, I read a book that involved a young man and his coach and how the latter used BDSM give his athlete a sense of purpose.
