So far I have liked the way Faerin have developed the story. Instead of following that too often seen storyline in which MC gets into pants of every female around within a week, he haven't get into anyone's. Ashley have charmed herself into MC's pants and bed. So it's a refreshing exception. And what comes to that idea "bitch have to be punished", why? Unpunished bitches plotting against protagonist and looking so good are much more fun than sånking-BDSM-BJ-HJ-Oh-Dominate-Me-So-Hard-Master-parties...
