Winner of the 2014 Independent Publisher Gold Medal in Erotica Review: I had trouble putting it down. - This was a very interesting book. I still have trouble with the whole Dom/Sub thing personally. I can understand to an extent why people are attracted to one or the other and I would never criticize them for making that choice, but there seems to be a recurring theme in all of the BDSM books that I have read that really bothers me. I don't understand the need to publicly humiliate the Sub and/or sharing them with other people as if they were an object. I also have trouble with the inflicting pain out of anger. To me that is abuse plain and simple. In my opinion there is a huge difference between inflicting pain for the mutual pleasure of both parties involved and severely/savagely beating someone in anger, even if they are willingly taking the beating. That being said, I found this book to be well written and a very interesting story to read. Knowing that it was written by someone with actual experience made it so much more interesting. I had trouble putting it down. As much as this subject bothers me, I must admit that it also intrigues me and I do believe there are many healthy Dom/Sub relationships out there. I also believe there are many Dom/Sub relationships that are just calling it that to justify a truly abusive relationship and from an outsiders view it would be very difficult to tell the difference between a loving Dom/Sub relationship and a hateful abusive relationship. Review: Very unsettling - A real, deep, honest look into the lifestyle and one person being true to themselves. Difficult to read at times if you're an empath and feel the words and the story too much yourself. Could have rated this a 2; should have rated this a 5; settled on 4. Fascination and self- punishment drove me to read it all. Probably be a long time until I can work up to Book Two. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,220,029 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #60,467 in Literary Fiction (Books) #88,123 in American Literature (Books) #147,904 in Erotic Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 109 Reviews | ## Images ![Dark Secret Love: A Story of Submission - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81reYb5uwLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had trouble putting it down. *by K***T on October 17, 2013* This was a very interesting book.
