This book has a cool timeline that I don't think would work all the time, but worked for me here (and I wouldn't mind seeing occasionally in future). Basically, we get their meeting and their first few encounters, then a super quick flash forward and then we get the next six months first from April, then from Dennis, and then . . . well, the rest. It's m/f with a Black MMC and a white trans FMC, takes place around a kink club and the MCs have a D/s relationship. The book negotiates power in and out of relationships, deals with this issue of trust and who deserves it really well, and . . . I don't know. I thought I would like it, but I loved it.
