It's a short book with "dom" in the title, so I was assuming no plot just vibes, but instead there was not actually that much 🌶️ stuff, and a secondary plot shoehorned in to basically one scene. And ugh the secondary plot was like, this is dumb, why'd you even bother with it? I guess it was supposed to bring in some action but it didn't feel at all thrilling.

One thing the book got right was the nurturing side of a daddy dom. The MMC is very concerned with FMC's well being and takes steps to ensure she is happy and healthy. It was nice to see that aspect of the power exchange as a feature, not a side effect.

🎧 The voices were fine? Dual POV with two narrators. The MMC's Southern accent felt a little overdone.

🌶️ 4/5 for content but not for actual spiciness? There was a lot of talk about kink but only a few explicit scenes. And they weren't very intense scenes, considering some of the scenarios/implements that are casually mentioned as being in play for them, but the reader is never shown them in scene.

🏳️‍🌈✊ I *think* the FMC is Black? It's stated that she has brown skin and her child has dark curly hair, but I don't think they ever explicitly mention her race. So she's a woman of color but race unknown I guess. MMC seems to be white.
