If you like romantic erotica, there is definitely some of that here. But not much more. I was skeptical that this needed to be serialized, and my skepticism was borne out. This chapter (and the three subsequent) could have been written overnight. Some of the minor details are different, but the core elements are the same: young billionaire, difficult past, beautiful fair young maiden (in the traditional sense of the word), BDSM diluted for purposes of mass appeal, exotic locations and lots of sex. I feel ridiculous having pre-ordered all of the installments, to the tune of about $17, which is more than I paid for the last Jonathan Franzen novel. I was curious enough to see whether there was something original, but no dice. It's Fifty Shades of Grey, Bared to You, [insert popular erotic fiction here] all over again, and for a lot more money. Also, bear in mind if you get the Kindle version that the story starts at about 5% complete (I guess the rest being taken up with credits, cover, copyright, etc.) and ends at about 75%. So who even knows how many pages it actually was.  We're being had. Save your money and re-read one of the others you enjoyed.
