Blurb: 

A non-binary Dom. An eager young sub. Service, orgasm control, bondage. An initial encounter leads to a synchronous exploration of identity and intimacy.

Nic Walker is not your typical Dom—physically female but identifying as male. And Vincent Blake is not your typical twenty-four-year-old straight guy—seductively submissive with a penchant for lacy underwear.

When Nic’s Dominatrix friend Daphne encourages them to get together, she can only hope they recognize the compatibility of their desires and personalities.

Nic has been holing up alone in their townhouse for too long, getting over a bad ‘relationship’, and it’s time for them to start living again. When Nic meets Vincent, neither expects the tentative relationship to take off like a runaway train. But each layer of the attractive and seemingly vulnerable young man Nic exposes ignites their own desires and leads both on a path to revealing the most interesting parts of themselves.

Who knew piano practice could be a form of sexual service? Or that a pair of overpriced panties could inspire such devotion?

Through bondage, service, objectification and the purchase of large quantities of lacy unmentionables, as well as a few specific sex toys and devices, Nic explores how far Vincent will go to please them and how much of themself they will risk to have him.

My review: 

This book was my first from the author, and after reading this book, all I can say is I am hooked! The writing style, the emotions and the character and world building is just phenomenal and so real. You feel like you're there with the characters, you are with them and feel their emotions and see what they're doing (mmm, yess please, give me a ticket to see all those hotness!!! hehe). 

The book is about a nonbinary Dom and a needy gender fluid sub. These two were just perfectly made for each other and I loved reading their story. I think there isn't enough nonbinary characters out there, and it was so good to read about Nic and his personality. 

I loved how Nic and Vincent clicked right for the first time and how great they were with each other. Vincent was a really great character and I'm a little sad that we only got to see the story from Nic's POV. Anyway, I enjoyed it thoroughly. 

We got a little drama at the end, but the HEA is the sweetest ever and the best they deserve. 

Loved everything about the BDSM scenes, loved how perfectly written the book was, and really, just loved everything in this book. From the cover to the last sentence, just perfect.
