With Beg Me, I just don't know what to say. I am really disappointed with this story. I happen to love stories with rough sex, forced sex, or rape roleplay. So I knew this part of the story wouldn't bother me at all.The heroine does like it raunchy with some dirty talk like 'hot bi***' and 'dirty slut.' I love this. I also love the bondage and domination both characters are into. Even the heroine's recent traumatic past didn't upset me, at least not in a bad way. I was prepared to feel sympathetic toward her. So why didn't I like this book then?Despite having all the above elements going for it, this story was just flat to me, very one dimensional. It's a pale imitation of every good/great story with the same themes. Yes, some parts of it were sexy, but the story was so deficient in other areas.I didn't dislike the heroine but I also wasn't that into her at first. Then she became unlikeable to me. The way she treated the hero, by making him do something he really felt sick at heart about; that just really ticked me off. So given what she's been through, this justifies her right to tear him up inside in order to make herself feel better? Sure, she wants to take back her sex life, but the disregard she showed him annoyed me. The man would do anything for her, and she asks him to do the unbearable. The guy's practically sick to his stomach, but it's ok as long as it makes her feel better? The h comes across as weak and selfish.Other parts of the story were just as annoying: the overdrawn mother-in-law character, the h's absolutely ineffective confrontation with MIL, the H's watered-down manhood (I mean, the h virtually turned him into a punching bag for someone else's transgressions), the poor editing, and the overall unsatisfactory storytelling.The hero was the only slightly bright spot of the story and even he couldn't save it from itself. He had his moments but not enough to offset the actions of the heroine.To me, this is just not a good read, not even an okay read.If you want to try a good story with some of the same elements but with some really thought-out characters, maybe sample these -Willing Victim(rough sex, rape fantasy, domination)Helene Blackmailed(rough sex, forced sex/coercion, domination)On the Edge(rough sex, domination, menage)Demon's Captive(rough sex, forced sex/coercion, domination)
