I'm in a forgiving mood. My initial review was pretty harsh. I'm willing to give it a second try. Hell isn't freezing over, that'll be when I finish Fifty Shades. ;)

So, realistically, exactly how many 25-year-old billionaires are out there? I know, I know, besides Christian Grey. That's only in the movies. Apparently in some wackadookie BDSM books too. Like this one. Lord the effort put into suspending your belief system. The eyes they are a rollin.

The building relationship between David and Shea is interesting. However, I don't know if I'll be able to stomach the whole Dom / Slave routine. The scenes involving another slave in the book, Thierry, are brutal. It's torture of the most disgusting, base, sexual kind. There is no love or free exchange of power here. Its very, very dangerous. If we go there with David and Shea, I'm done.

Okay, Christian Gray, step off. It's time for David. What a specimen! So far, looking pretty good. There was one bizzaro world scene in the beginning that just seemed yucky to me. Blew past that and we have the beginning of a titillating romance. Nice. Oh, and MC Shea? Could this boy have any more crap thrown at him? The boy needs a shot if happy. Hopefully soon.
