Kata (hated this nickname) is a woman on the run from a would-be assassin and Hunter is a Dominant who almost instantly falls in love with her and ends up marrying her when she's drunk.
My main problem was not with him as a Dom and her as a submissive. My problem was with the following (I have to bullet because there were quite a few problems):
1. He coerced her into marrying him even though she was drunk and I mean really, really drunk!
2. Now if you've gotten past #1 then you'll be fine. My 2nd problem after I suspended believability about the marriage was that she knew she was submissive but constantly and I mean constantly denied and defied him at every turn. She admitted she liked the games but when he wanted to play she totally went into meltdown and ceaselessly complained.
3. She compared herself with her mother who let her 2nd husband run roughshod over her day in and day out. Not just once or twice but all through the book she wrung her hands about how she didn't want to be like her mother. This was a woman who obviously was so not like her mother so it got annoying after a while.
4. And finally, Ms. Black yanked what would have been a seriously hot menage scene but was cut short by the heroine.
All in all an ok book but I'm very happy I didn't buy it but obtained in a swap.
