SOME short stories are complete, despite the handicap of few words.  I  know that comparing Holly S. Roberts to writers like O'Henry is unrealistic, BUT I do believe this author could do better.  She could expand this story making it far more believable.  Since she didn't, I am left unable to recommend anyone buy it.Spoiler alertHer best friend and future business partner betrays her trust for a few dollars.  Does the heroine learn her lesson? No, she tells herself that she probably would have taken the bribe too!  Is she even a tiny bit hurt at friend's action?  No.  She continues to invite him into her life and business.  Why?  Because she's insecure about her appearance, her self esteem is still lacking despite the fact that she's a Domme, and a very competent one.I guess this is supposed to be a capture fantasy.  She does get kidnapped and forced to work for her kidnapper.  Am I just a foolish unromantic senior when I am unable to buy this portrait of the "inescapable love"?Well, perhaps it's because this woman is not mentally healthy.  She has a gambling addiction that makes her vulnerable to the predator Dom.  Oh he has a loveable mother, good looks, that dominant vibe, and $$$$.  if the kidnappers of the women in Germany, or England or the United States had been able to lock their victims in luxurious BDSM clubs would they have been able to "love" their captors?No, this author failed to make her characters real.  I couldn't get lost in this fantasy: it annoyed me.YES, the erotic episodes are hot.  Too bad the plot wasn't as good.  So if a series of erotic scenes will make this short book worth the time and money, you'll not be disappointed.  If you want more, there are better capture fantasies.
