Enjoyable enough story about Geoff, a masochist hemophiliac tattoo artist who picks up Robin, an experienced dom with some emotional baggage and a trust fund. They have a great weekend together after discussing a lot of BDSM 101 and having some communication issues and baggage around how to play together without doing serious injury to Geoff. The hemophilia parts were handled very well, including Geoff's frustrations and emotional baggage around being treated like he's breakable and having to learn to communicate plainly and with safety at the forefront with his partner. I found some of the interactions between the two of them a bit annoyingly juvenile, in terms of lying to one another about stuff that's going on. There was also something of a gear shift about halfway through the book that felt a bit off, and some of the pacing threw me. I thought the sex scenes were by and large pretty damn hot, though, and I recommend this one if you're looking for characters navigating safety, risk, sex, and kink frankly and realistically, making mistakes and not great choices and then doing better next time.
