Dangerous Control

“What you're into – it can't hurt any worse than never having you when I love you so much.” How much do we really know each other? How much do we really know ourselves? Should our darkest desires remain locked in, or should we share with the world? More specifically, with the loved woman? Even if you know without a doubt that you have peculiar tastes, and the woman you can not forget is someone very different from you, someone you have known since childhood, who you always loved and revered at a distance and always placed on an unattainable and untouchable pedestal ? How much would you be willing to take? We will follow the journey of Alice and Massimiliano or Milo for the intimates. She, a beautiful, talented and acclaimed musician who has loved the same man forever but has never had the courage to reveal. He, an equally talented musician, who makes violins, descended from a family where music is more than a profession, is a passion. She is light. He is dark. She is innocent. He is a Dom. She wants to marry him. He wants to possess her. The only thing in common between them, apart from music, is the love they feel for each other. But Milo knows that this relationship can never occur, he will never submit Alice to his innermost desires. The problem is that Milo is not only a Dominator, he is a sadist, and his need to cause pain is what excites him, but he does not admit to treating Alice that way, so he never revealed to her what he feels. A thrust of fate, in the form of a tragedy, will bring these two together, and as Alice decides to try to charm him, Milo will dodge in every possible way. But is his self-control so powerful, or will he find that it is sometimes dangerously difficult to resist? The book deals a lot with the question of musicality, the instruments are like secondary characters, the scenes with the violins are interesting and important, were very well incorporated in the narrative. The plot is erotic, the couple has chemistry, is a little out of the comfort zone, BDSM is strong, aggravated by sadism / masochism. Milo struggles all the time for not to allow be himself with Alice. When he finally surrender himself, it will be up to him to teach and guide her through this new world. One criticism to make is the very simple solution presented at the end of the book for The Gallery issue. Nothing to spoil the plot, but I found it very quick and easy for a place so full of rules and it was presented throughout the book as an extremely erotic club. Plus, I enjoyed the plot, I loved the part of the musicality as I mentioned, I enjoyed Milo's internal struggle, and Alice is well written, sweet and vulnerable but at the same time brave and strong. A good book, nothing exceptional, but fulfills its role.
