Lovingly Cruel Services

Not to my tastes, personally, but it's not too bad. "Sadist" is used pretty much interchangeably with "Dominant", and same for "masochist" and "submissive" - not exactly an S&M story, if that's what you're looking for, but certainly Dom/sub. While there was consent, there was also a lot of boundary-crossing and "'No' secretly means 'I Want More'" - and no safeword - which I don't like. The characters clearly liked each other but I can't say I felt much chemistry between them. The pace at which the relationship developed felt unnatural, too - a bit hot and cold or zero to 100. The story islow on drama and stakes, which is a good thing - I didn't feel particularly enamored with the couple (is that obvious? probably) so I would not have wanted to waste time watching them work through conflicts keeping them apart. Overall... it's fine, but I'm not into it.
