Reasons for recommending: Well, Duh.
Actually, I waffled a bit over this one, since there are so many by Eliz-mar that I love, including The Choosing (okay, I don't love that one, I adore it), the Oraclyne series, The Question and, of course, Beloved Master, Beloved Padawan. Her stories are like potato chips, you can't just read one. But this one...
Let me say up front that I know very, very little about BDSM. I've enjoyed reading stories that feature it (on occasion), and I suppose I can sorta tell when it's not caught right -- but I couldn't say why. This one just felt right. She writes in first-person and shifts POVs in each section so we get to hear what they're thinking as the story unfolds, and, well, I just knew it was correct. The emotions she captures are so clear and vibrant I could almost hear the words as spoken, feel the pain that was released.
And she does an absolutely cool job describing a horrible mission gone wrong, to boot.
