I like her personality but I disagree how she handled her relationship with Damien. Nikki is funny, smart and believes in individualism. I like Damien but I can't help to compare his character to Christian of Fifty Shades of Grey.

What I don't like however, is his lack of communication and explanations for his reasoning and actions. I like that in a way, because it shows his determination and dedication to the things he believed in. Everything and everyone around Damien always did what he wanted and when he wanted. As an adult he found release in his control. As a child his father pretty much controlled his life and he was forced to follow other's commands. Damien is possessive, sexual, and overpowering. However, I find it a bit refreshing that the female main character wasn't innocent at all she was witty and had playful personality that I enjoyed very much. Release Me follows somewhat the same path as Fifty Shades of Grey, a hot, young and intellectual man who has control issues based on childhood scars.

As far as the plot, it was interesting but not different from others in the genre. Like many other contemporary Erotica Release Me presents characters and situation that are pretty common in most the erotica coming out lately. I know that I was going in with an open mind and the idea that I would find an original and different story. When I finally got to read this book I was very excited.
