That is the main theme of all the series, the various contrasts: blue collar workers against white collar professionals; young men against older gentlemen; law enforcement workers who need to be “mastered”, to let the power in someone else hands; professionals who should not let emotions take them who find their soul mate; and on, and on.
As usual the level of deepness of BDSM in the novellas by Kim Dare is on the average side: just enough to let you glimpse a complex world, but not too much to scare the more vanilla reader. More than real life commitment (24/7 Master/slave relationship), these BDSM relationships move on a more comfort stage, where yes, people enjoy their games but are not “life” dependant from them.
