It is very frustrating to see authors/publishers loading part of a story for free and then selling you the follow-up pieces.  Free books should be free.  If you want to give me a free sample of a book, then be honest about it in the description.  This "book" ends right in the middle of a conversation.It isn't even very good.  Jane Porter takes a vow of celibacy after finding out that her "master" is married (I put that in quotation marks because that is what she calls him, but she seems to be very unfamiliar with the lifestyle later in the story - it was difficult to figure out exactly what her experience level was).  After a year, she attends a BDSM-themed party she set up as a party planner.  This whole turn of events was so incredibly unrealistic.  First of all, a guy was throwing it for his half-brother.  Who throws a party like that for a  sibling?  Nobody in the book was engaging in any sort of negotiation or conversation about what they wanted to do.  It was just guys throwing their weight around while mouthing bland inane nothings like "You know that a submissive is really in charge of the scene?"  Well, if that's the case, then maybe try talking about what she wants, what she is looking for in the scene, what isn't on the table for the session?  The whole reason Jane got into a bad situation in the first place was because she didn't talk to her "master," but she's going to get right back into that same mistake again?  This was like somebody's poorly thought out fantasy, not anything close to how this would play out in real life.
