Sated by Rebekah Weatherspoon BDSM Released: April 28, 2015 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I saw Courtney Milan tweet positively about Sated, and she linked to a B+ review over at Smart Bitches. I'm not super into BDSM, although I've read my fair share of it. This one intrigued me because I saw the hero and heroine were more on the geeky side so I decided to try it.

I excitedly read book two, Ripped, but I had problems with it. I think the biggest thing is that I had the hero built up in my head based on book one, and he didn't live up to my expectations. But I went into book three, Crazed, with more of a blank slate and I really enjoyed this one. The Faraday family is a Continue Reading
