Review: Romance not BDSM
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 08 5, 2012
This is a borderline 2/3 short story. This comes up as a free read from Selena Kitt, who I rate as a good BDSM/ erotica writer. Put BDSM into kindle search and this comes up, hence I added it to my BDSM reading challenge. That is why I rated it borderline 2 stars as it is not BDSM, has no links and shouldn't come up in said search. Reader beware if this is the reason you have it.However, I give it a full three stars for the story as is, which is a sad story, beginning with Cathy, an extremely intelligent university scholarship girl now drop out. Her strange obsessions and behaviour show she is mentally ill and withdrawn from family, friend and humankind, bar working in order to live. Her connections with humans, her strange reaching out through nuisance phone calls, and of not answering when people pick up finally puts her in touch with someone with humor, Seth is someone with patience, concern and persistence. Seth doesn't give up, but connects with damaged Cathy. Eventually meeting, and initiating her into her first proper sexual experience. It is patient, caring and loving. It has no element of control or BDSM. It is actually a lovely story in it's own right. Just wrongly categorized regard genre. Worth reading, and made my eyes water with compassion for poor Cathy and admire the caring loving compassion of lovely Seth. This part is a good three stars.
