I am going to try to explain how much I HATE bdsm.
I bought this book awhile ago and only read the “knocked up by the dom” book. I found the secret baby aspect of the story entertaining but the kink was boring and unoriginal. It was an okay short story.
I also did not realize that my purchase came with two extra stories. I decided to finish this book now because I was going to be on vacation soon and didn’t want to start the books I really wanted to read before I was officially off so I could savory them. After reading story #2 and #3, I have to say I was bored and a bit disgusted with the idea behind bdsm.
Whatever floats your boat then good on you, but I want romance! Over the top, insta-stupid romance. With a side of dirty sex, of course. Bdsm is not in anyway appealing to me. Hitting in anyway is not appealing to me! The author put a huge emphasis on trust being what bdsm is about that I kept rolling my eyes. Each story had these stupid female characters just trusting that a handsome billionaire wouldn’t hurt them. It was ludicrous!
Just because a person is rich or good looking or sexually skilled doesn’t make them romance leads. There HAS to be more to the character then that. I will say that in the third book it was more the falling in love, getting to know you, part of a romance but then the “playroom” was brought out so excessively that I was reminded why I didn’t like this book. Smh
I have no idea why bdsm is this whole “playroom and toys” thing about it. In book three the male lead was very versatile in NOT utilizing all of the props. He just thought about it a lot. Which shows that a playroom and toys aren’t necessary. It’s just a stupid twist to sell books. And it makes it seem like only rich people can afford to really be bdsm people.
That’s another thing, I’m not interested in the life styles of the rich. I don’t read romance for that. And the statistics show that the most successful romance stories are about regular working class people and not the uber rich. Being rich doesn’t lead to HEA’s.
Last but not least, if you are selling a secret baby romance for the bdsm crowd then ALL the extra books included should have a secret baby plot line too! I’m just saying.
To end, I haven’t even touched on all the things wrong with each individual story either. Story #2 just grossed me out, it was borderline psychotic. Story #3 was so unrealistic from plot premise, to problem solution, to HEA, it was just garbage. Smh
