Finding My Play Partner.
Catherine is 26 and sexually frustrated. All her adult life she's wanted to meet a guy who knew how to dominate her in the bedroom, but all she's found were creeps and basic jerks. She has a porn addiction and can't survive without her vibrator, but is longing to find her dom, her Play Partner.
Until she meets Adam Cartwright, a successful but very mysterious entrepreneur and Rick Blanton, the hunky head of security at the company she works for. Ricks BDSM lifestyle is whispered and gossiped about all over the office. And Catherine has to contend with her boss, an older married man who has his eyes set on bedding her.
But where will she find her Play Partner?

So Many Errors and 🚩🚩🚩🚩
The book reads like it was written by somebody with a poor knowledge of English. A fair bit has sentences weirdly formed, like it was translated (with bald hair,long knee-high, boot-high-heels). There are also innumable typo's!!
From a BDSM perspective it's one red flag after another. I'm not even sure where to begin. 50 Shades is not a guide to BDSM. It's a truckload of red flags!!
No Dom I've ever known would ask you to self-collar in his presence and certainly not without extensive vetting between the potential Dom and sub, esp when a newbie. It's ridiculous. There's no mention of kink expectations. No limits are discussed. No informed consent. And he hands her a collar on their 2nd date. No reputable Dom would accept an honorific if they weren't in a dynamic. It also seems Sir and Master are interchangeable. LMAO
Kink contracts are not legally binding and do not stop the police investigating assault. I could go on but I'm hoping you get the picture here.
Also the 'erotic' side is distinctly lacking, if not totally missing in this book.
A couple of brief paragraphs could have covered the basics. As could 2 mins on Google. I'm well aware this is fiction but some semblance to reality would really help...
I really dislike books about kink that aren't researched. They are dangerous as newbies actually think this is how it should be

Finding My Play Partner: A first time BDSM Erotic Romance. (The Play Series Book 1), my tenth read from author Layla Lovelace, a well-written, story with a whole lot of spice and more plot than many books in this genre. “I received a complementary Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I look forward to more from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Jumps between two, maybe three, female pov's and Catherine from the blurb interacts with three men, one of which is abhorrent.
The words make little sense, the chemistry is non existent and the safety is missing.

Finding my play partner for BDSM
This is a well told story with a range of characters. A girl is looking for a dominant who she eventually finds outside her work environment. What happens next will require the next book.
