I enjoyed this book. The character development of Jennifer and her relationship with Sir (Derek) is very well written without a lot of repetitious twaddle; however, I must agree with another reviewer in that I think this could have been one 'novel'. The short books end usually at a pivotal moment or a big 'cliffy'. Now that I've read 2 I get what the previous reviewers were talking about. I understand the concept of offering a 1st book free to get the reader interested but seriously after that combine them into the 1 book they should've been and let us pay a higher fee. Frankly the $2.99 or $3.99 feels a tad bit like a money grab. In no way am I suggesting that an author should not be paid for their work but as the reader I feel used. The characters are engaging. The exploration Jennifer is going through is fascinating as Prussing has written her to be the 'every-girl'. A lot of this genre (post FOG) write the sub: gorgeous, totally innocent, virginal...blah, blah. Jennifer feels real, insecure, conflicted about being a strong woman but realizing and fostering her inner sub. Sir is beautifully described, experienced, yummy hotness but so far doesn't seem to be the 'billionaire, multi-language, helicopter piloting' dom that I've grown tired of.
This is one of many comments from Amazon review that has now completed the 3rd book (supposedly the last??) "I was disappointed that it just ended. wanted some more exploration into Derek and Jennifer's relationship...did it just end, did she find out anything more about him and vice versa...but no-one the story just kind of ended- what a let down!!!!!!"
Normally I would discount these types of reviewers but there are many and I've been through 2 books now that just end. So sad because I truly enjoy these characters and the authors writing style. Having said all that-I'm trying to decide if I want to continue to purchase tid-bits of a story or make a clean break from Jennifer & Derek.
