Fabian Black’s Dee Dee series is firmly in the adult domestic discipline genre, and this volume continues the established couple through new situations. The setup assumes readers familiar with the dynamic from the earlier books, although new readers can follow it.
Black writes within the genre’s conventions. The book is built around scenes that the audience for this kind of fiction reads it for. The relationship is loving and consensual within the rules the couple has set together.
Readers who don’t read in this corner of fiction probably will not find it for them. Readers who do will recognize the established quality of Black’s work in the niche.
For genre readers, this fits cleanly into the catalog. For new readers, the earlier books in the series provide better orientation. The genre itself has its own clear audience and conventions, and Black writes within them with consistency.
