The Premise: Unoriginal, The Execution: Awful
DNF'd at 17% because this is a terrible representation of the lifestyle and I will not support someone who writes characters like the Male mc who claims to be a DD but is really someone who is obsessive, self interested, and completely uncaring plus absolutely ignorant of the lifestyle. There are alpha Male Dom characters and then there are narcissistic characters that are making unforgivable decisions.
Now to be fair the Female mc is even less than a doormat and undeveloped as a human being. The immediate desperation and attraction that she feels after encountering the Male mc, who she knows was just loudly having sex with the previous interview candidate, is just beyond unrealistic and makes her character just as unlikable as the Male mc.
I will not be reading anymore from this author because they are obviously lacking in their research about any BDSM lifestyle because neither of the mc's are representative of even adult persons looking to enter into a consensual vanilla relationship let alone the amount of trust and negotiation involved in a BDSM relationship.
1/2 star for completing a book 0 stars for research representing the BDSM community.
