Never Knew Until You

This is my first book from L.E. Royal and I found it to be well planned out and a very interesting story. Even though the story centers around a BDSM relationship, it is very light on anything heavy. It is more about the dom/sub relationship and the issues that both are dealing with from their past. The sub (Parker) is looking for a new start after her wife of nearly 15 years cheats on her with a much younger intern. The dom (Kristina) is dealing with issues from her childhood and from a dom of her own that has caused her pain. Kristina doesn't date and only wants to keep their relationship in the BDSM realm. But as the couple gets to know each other and is together through their playtimes, feelings begin to bloom on both sides.

I really enjoyed the story and the battles that each went through. The sex scenes were very well done and were much more loving than you would expect from a BDSM story. Definitely worth checking out.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
