Review: Has its hot and kinky moments, but not my favorite of the series

If you don't like to read hotwifing or cuckold erotica, The Boss's Daughter just might turn you off. This story involves sex in public, voyeurism, performing for a lover, hotwifing and some role-playing (where Cassandra picks up a guy, Ward watches her come-on from a distance and then follows to watch the sex act; sometimes, he interrupts and plays the angry husband/boyfriend, etc.), and some m/f/m action, too. This is book 3 in the West Coast series, and the stories involve hotwifing and sharing to some degree. And these stories can be down-right dirty and raunchy, very bold for erotic romance. It can be kinky and twisted and pretty hot, but maybe not for every reader.In this story, I enjoyed Ward. I actually liked him a lot more than I did Cassandra, and I think that's why this story wasn't a complete hit for me. I hardly felt I got to know Cassandra, to understand her kinks and what made her tick. She's similar to Ruby (book 2Submitting to the Boss: A West Coast Hotwifing Novel, Book 2 (West Coast Series)), and Ruby was not one of my favorite characters. Cassandra's kink is a lot like what Clay and Ruby had going on in book 1 (Revenge Sex: A West Coast Hotwifing Novel, Book 1 (West Coast Series)). Cassandra loves the idea of being watched and lusted after. She loves that idea of Ward watching her with another man, and she even likes the idea of him licking another man's 'sex' off or out of her body. Yes, the action goes that way.I have no problem with that kind of down and dirty action. That doesn't bother me; the more shocking or kinky, the better. Most of the sex action was hot, but I wish I'd felt more of a connection to both characters and that I'd felt both Ward and Cassandra had a more believable connection to each other. I-love-you's are said, but did I really buy into it? I guess I don't really see these two as being together and lasting. Ward was a lovable nerd, glasses and all, and I so love that kind of guy. Cassandra was a man-eater and a self-proclaimed slut of the first order. These two types of leads can and do work well together in romance, but here, I didn't get a connection to them. I wanted to, I really hoped to, but as I was reading, it felt more like just watching two characters have some kinky sex.Nothing wrong with that exactly, but I was hoping for something more than only sex. I wanted some true passion with the lust; some deeper, conflicted emotions; some longing, something verging on becoming more and being more. As hotwifing erotica, this has its hot and titillating moments, but if I look at this as erotic romance, I think it truly falls short in that area for me. This story does not have the depth or heart of book 1, or even book 2. For me, The Boss's Daughter is 3 stars, right down the middle, meaning I can take it or leave it.  I'm not unhappy I read it, as we do see characters from both previous books again, and we also get an idea who book 4 will be about. I will continue with this series because I do enjoy Jasmine Haynes a lot, I think she is a talented writer, but this story didn't do it for me.The series so far:Revenge Sex: A West Coast Hotwifing Novel, Book 1 (West Coast Series)Submitting to the Boss: A West Coast Hotwifing Novel, Book 2 (West Coast Series)The Boss's Daughterand book 4 (coming 2013) The Other Man
