LynnMarie's Review
Power Play was different from other erotic books I've read. The main characters are already husband and wife, but choose to play sex games to spice up their once failing marriage.
Daria was a difficult character to like, very cold and functional, but we learn she had a difficult childhood making it hard for her to give up control. Her husband has no problem with her fooling around with other men to indulge her fantasies. Their marriage councellor encouraged them to think outside the box in regards to their sex life.
The entire novella is from Daria's POV, so we don't get to know her husband very well. But it's clear that he isn't jealous of their arrangement, in fact, he's very comfortable with Daria's new sexuality and plays along when he can.
This book had a bit of everything from BDSM play, multiple partners, role playing and sex games. For a quick, naughty erotic read give Power Play by Xondra Day a try.
3 ½ Tea Cups!

Reviewed by Markie:
For readers who are looking for m/m only, this one isn't for you since it only contains one scene of brief m/m interaction, as the blurb states.
I had mixed reactions to this novella. I wasn't sure if I liked the character Daria when I first started reading. She is often cold, bitchy but there are reasons behind her behaviour, which you find out as the story plays out. I did like her husband, and would have liked to have known more about him. But since this novella is told from Daria's viewpoint, it's hard to figure out much about him.
The sex is diverse and there is a lot of it packed within this novella. I did find the novella itself to be nicely written, but if the characters were fleshed out more, it would have been much more.
Is this novella worth the read? I did enjoy it, but it's not going to be for everyone.
