This book (entire series, really) was everything I needed to read right now. 

You mean someone can write a whole BDSM series with more realistic RACK and PRICK protocols? Someone can show healthy dynamics with queer characters where miscommunication isn't a thing? Where respectful power dynamics, vetting, and scene negotiations are at the forefront? 

I was blown away by this as someone who used to DM a sapphic/trans sapphic club. This is one of the most realistic portrayals of BDSM I've read almost ever. The respect, communication, mental health rep, and character development was perfection. 

I'm also loving that there's something for everyone in this series, whether you're into littles, sadomasochism, 24/7 TPE, and pretty much everything in between. This series is THE perfect BDSM series. No notes.
