Review: Eh! That's how this book made me feel - SPOILER

Although it's a well written story, I'm still just indifferent about it.  I can't say I either loved it or hated it it.Victoria is an investigative reporter.  She sees a photo of a billionaire who refused to be interviewed for a feature article in her magazine so she decides there's a story behind him.  She discovers he, along with the city's wealthiest, frequent an exclusive strip-club called "Platinum" on a daily basis, so she gets a job there to try and get the inside scoop.  After a few days, she gets invited to a private "party" (a/k/a orgy) at his mansion where everyone who attends must be naked but wear a mask, and they all engage in various sexual activities.  She writes her article without naming any sources, and her boss refuses to run it, so in the end she decides to continue "working" at the club to dig deeper - for what, I don't know, but that's where the book leaves off.At Platinum, she meets a gorgeous billionaire, Luther, who is infatuated by her, wants her exclusively and answers all her questions about the club, so again, why she decides to continue frequenting it is beyond me.  Especially when Luther tells her if she stops going there, he has no reason to go.  What's worse is at the beginning of the book after he boyfriend broke-up with her because she wouldn't agree to him sleeping with another woman, she declares she only wants a real, exclusive relationship from now on, but when Luther offers it, she decides to go back to a strip-club with him in tow.I also thought the book was too long, it dragged on in the beginning without adding to the story, and in the end, I didn't feel it got anywhere. It probably could've been 30-40% shorter without affecting the story. There didn't seem to be a conclusion, a resolution, or even a cliff hanger. I also didn't like how Luther forced himself on her twice and she kept thinking what a great guy he is and how lucky she was to have him. I just wasn't very impressed with any of the characters.  Luther was just too eager to tell Victoria whatever she wanted to hear, ("I don't want a relationship" - "I'm not offering you one"..."you'll support me if I write about the club"..."I'll support you whatever you decide to do") but we don't get why he was so into her. He was so nice to her but then he practically rapes her, so I just couldn't be 100% on his side.  Victoria on the other hand was just too wishy-washy.  One minute she's all "this is so wrong" while watching people have sex at the parties, and the next minute she couldn't wipe the grin off her face after Luther tied her up and forced her to have sex in front of a room full of people, yet there was no self-discovery moment in between.  He basically forced her into it then told her he knew she would enjoy it, so she should just admit that she did.As I said, I didn't feel the book had a conclusion, so I'm not sure if there's a part 2, but I really hope there isn't.  I don't think I could go through another book this long that was just eh.
