About this audiobook
Cole is successful beyond his wildest dreams. He can have any woman he wants, but there's only one he can't stop thinking about: his childhood sweetheart, Ren. He's never forgotten his first taste of innocent love and the desire that consumed them-or the pain he brought upon her . . .Her long ago brush with submission awakened a longing in Ren that drove her to walk the darker edge of desire. She's become a beautiful woman at ease with her sexuality and unapologetic about her need for a dominant man. When Cole finds her again, he's gutted that she belongs to another. Ren's current master agrees to give her to Cole for a short time, but then she must return to his keeping. And though Cole agrees to this bargain, he knows he will never be able to let Ren go again . . .

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When I got this book Ms. Banks informed me she had to do the ending the way she did and changed it from it's original ending, in short...I was worried. After having read the book, just like she said, he couldn't have ended any other way.
I love the characters in this book, I know everyone was waiting for Cole's book for so long that is hardly seemed real that it was time to read it. Lucas definitely grew on me as the story progressed. This is probably the sexiest book yet in this series, in my opinion. I loved the varied scenes with two or even three people interacting with Ren, it was sexy and very well done.
The only problem I had with this book is the "misunderstanding" sub-plot. Ren automatically assuming things, the guys not telling her the full story, and then everyone gets worked up. I didn't find that part believable, I am a firm believer in everything can easily be cleared up, there is no need to mope around. I get it, it's fiction, just didn't like that part.
Overall, a beautifully written and sexy conclusion to the Sweet Series. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I liked the idea much more than the execution. Ren was Cole's first love, and he left her for what I thought was a really immature reason. He never got over her. Ren, while never forgetting him, was able to move and have several successful D/s relationships. She's currently in a fufulling relationship with Lucas, and, wow. Let me just say that the whole 24/7 D/s thing makes no sense to me whatsoever, but Maya Banks did such a great job with Ren and Lucas's characterizations, especially Ren's, that I had no trouble getting into it.
And then Cole happened. I just did not care about him or Ren's feelings for him. To be fair, I'm not a fan of the whole reunited first loves trope, so that right there was a hill that not many authors can get me to climb. But the reason for him leaving her was just so petty, and while I could believe that both he and Ren would feel some bittersweet nostalgia for that time in their lives, I could not accept that their feelings for each other would still be so strong. For that reason, the ending just didn't work for me (though there are plenty of stories out there where I would have loved such an ending).
