Spirit of Capitalism
> "It was the power of religious influence, not alone, but more than anything else, which created the differences of which we are conscious to-day”
Max Weber saw reformation as a new form of religion control, not elimination of Church’s ones. His aim focused on finding intimate relationship between asceticism and capitalism.

ALWAYS READ BEFORE YOU SIGN ANYTHING
Omg, what was that? This is not BDSM at all. It was abuse. I don't care if she didn't read before she sign. Yeah it was a stupid thing to do but still I hated it. Why did she let a strange man bath her god dammit? Dummest heroine ever. Did he really have to punish her in front of a crowd? She was

This was...not my favorite. Beau was just looking someone who can babysit him and Maggie wasn't a Domme at all. She was only doing it because the kink test told her so. Beau was strictly against the club, his father's kinks and the kink world in general, but after he spent two minutes in the app, he was more eager than
2/5 Stars (%40/100)
When I read this back in 2016, I was harsh and gave it 1 star only. I'm guessing I hated it because it was obligatory during my BA. Now I reread it for my MA class and I admit I was too strict. It is still not very good in my opinion mainly because it is boring but I can see Crevecoeur's point. I mean it's one of the earliest books about America. The use of such terms like "melting pot" was revolutionary at that time. It still doesn't change the fact that it is quite long and repetitive. If you are not really interested in American history or studying American history/literature, you should probably skip it.
Some people - especially readers of classic books - find it unnecessary to read romance novels. I disagree, because novels help you to understand yourself. They tell you your needs, your shortcomings, your wrong parts, your right parts, which you don't even realize. You can see a character you never expected voicing your thoughts and it helps you to understand yourself and it helps you to be at peace. I think the reason why I'm so emotional about this review is because lately I've been thinking that no one will ever understand me completely.
But in this series I figured something out between myself. There are so many personality similarities between Killian, Landon and me. Intelligence, talent, a fiery soul and an icy heart. I felt understood while reading both books, and that is more important to me than love.
In conclusion, the book is not a book for everyone. It contains behaviors that most people would find wrong - which I gave a standing ovation for. But if you are a little crazy, it is for you. One of the books that does dark romance justice. (SPOILERS) The only part I didn't like about the book was that Mia's revenge was a bit too simplified. Honestly, I would have liked it to be a little longer and deeper. I think Mia should have killed that woman, not Landon. Personally, if I was in Mia's shoes, if I wanted revenge for years and someone - even if it was the man I loved - killed that person instead of me, I would never recover.I couldn't do it over and over, I had to take the pain I had suffered for years out of that person. I had to destroy her, mercilessly.
I think that was the only bad thing about the book.
I hope Killian, Landon, me and others like us will all find our muse one day.
