No one would understand that my submission empowered me, that I felt stronger kneeling at Gabriel’s feet than I ever had standing at Paul’s side.
Faye Austin seems to have it all--a fulfilling career, a successful husband, a beautiful home. But appearances can be deceptive and sometimes Faye can’t help thinking she’s living the wrong life. A lifetime of being compared to her beautiful younger sister, Ginny, has left her feeling second best, and a chance discovery while looking at her husband’s laptop has led her to realize that her marriage is not all it seems.
Then she meets the handsome Gabriel Scott, a man who likes to play sexual games of power and control, and suddenly everything makes sense. Gabriel’s natural dominance is so compelling that Faye feels her own submissiveness awakening in response, a reaction that both horrifies and excites her. She works with victims of domestic abuse and is adamant that no man will ever tell her what to do. But there’s something about Gabriel that draws her in and gives her a glimpse of who she really wants to be.
Can Gabriel give her what she needs? Or will Ginny get there first?

My Review
Rating: 4 Stars
A Fine Line is a well-written story on BDSM. It's perfect for a beginner reader, as this is actually my first BDSM read and I find it entertaining and enjoyable. The story flows well, with realistic conflicts, and the pacing was good. There was even a little suspense with regard to Faye's work (she helps and advises women in domestic abuse situations), and I enjoyed that little twist. There are lots of sex scenes, though, and each one has a purpose, so I can't say they are gratuitous, but there are lots of them, more than I'm used to, actually.
That said, there is romance between Gabriel and Faye. You can see it in some of their interactions, and while Faye is a submissive, she's not a pushover. For important things, she's not afraid to speak her mind with Gabriel and would even insist on her way. I think it's great too that while Gabriel is a dominant, he's reasonable and would allow Faye on the things that matter to her. I'm not really in the BDSM scene and I'm not fully cognizant of how BDSM works, so while Faye may like some of the things Gabriel said and did to her (as a Dom, he said he needs to take care of her), I didn't fully like it. For example, once Gabriel referred to her as his possession, that he needs/likes to take care of his possessions. Oooo-kay.
Lastly, a note of warning to readers who dislike cheating. There's cheating in this book, so read at your own risk.
