But his interpretation of Nora was unfortunate. He was excellent when portraying the voice of the editor, which is a large part of the story. (I'll admit that when it came to the more intense scenes of S/M, I felt myself recoil, but those scenes, while powerful, are not frequent.) My only caveat, and it is a small one, is due to the reader.

Nora's grueling writing sessions with Zach are draining.and shockingly arousing. Nora must rewrite the entire novel to his exacting standards-in six weeks-or it's no deal. The demanding British editor agrees to handle the book on one condition: he wants complete control. Zachary Easton holds Nora's fate in his well-manicured hands.

But her latest manuscript is different-more serious, more personal-and she's sure it'll be her breakout book.if it ever sees the light of day.
