Review: Roman and Juliet (The Aerie Doms)
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 10 19, 2012
Juliet is the youngest looking sub in the Aerie nest; at twenty-seven, she's passable for eighteen. Slender and delicate looking, the Doms just aren't interested in her. When Roman visits the nest for the first time, he's taken with the lovely blonde sub and she is equally infatuated with the sexy cowboy. But assumptions made have stunted any romantic progression; will a little meddling by Master Xavier be just the cure?This was my first foray into the Aerie Doms series and while I wasn't overly impressed with this, I am willing to try another one because I do like the premise.This was just okay for me, I have issues with the Amazing Race to the "L" bomb when it's ridiculous even by the story-line's standards. The timeline the story progresses at is just too short for me to buy into. I felt that entire story was hinged on getting to the end rather than a story that draws to a close naturally. Perhaps that's not articulated as well as it could be, but it's the best I can do at the moment. I felt this had a great beginning, a disappointing end, and no clear middle. It's also shorter than I anticipated ending at the 43% mark (location 484 of 1105) on my Kindle and followed by previews of other books.This is supposed to be BDSM erotica... there wasn't really much of that explored here. Roman is a decent alpha male, but he is admittedly NOT a Dom. This is probably more suited to be looked at as a short erotic romance rather than BDSM erotica. I would recommend this as an erotic romance to those that don't have progression issues, but not as a BDSM story.
