It’s getting harder for Ian Noble to deny his feelings for Francesca Arno. He needs to find the balance between controlling lover and equal partner.

Ian expects Francesca to follow his every command and to understand what he wants when he’s not around. Francesca has a mind of her own, though, and she insists on expressing it. Ian wants Francesca to be successful and proud of herself in all aspects. He’s not just looking for his own satisfaction. He also teaches her another way to please him sexually. And she excels. Ian is still struggling with his feelings for Francesca, causing him to continue to put distance between them in Because I Said So. Meanwhile, Francesca thinks she’s falling hard and fast for her dominant lover. The push and pull of control is evident in Because I Said So. There’s a sense of make it or break it in this story. And I desperately wanted Ian and Francesca to make it.
