This is a contemporary BDSM erotica novella.SynopsisThis is a story about Iris, an inexperienced young woman that has had submissive desires. She has been unable to pursue those desires until she meets Paul. Paul is an older experienced man that takes Iris on a journey of sexual discovery in a Dominant/submissive context.The writingThe beginning was a little rough and a bit confusing, but by page twenty I was hooked. Everything about the way the story is written draws you into the environment. The descriptive detail of sight, sound, and taste are beautifully written in way that is almost poetic. I thought the writing style was very unique for this genre.In generalThe majority of this novella was very realistic. It had true to life characters in regards to the aspect of not being physically perfect. It had true to life sex scenarios, like getting messy. I also thought the BDSM elements were accurately portrayed with the emotional aftereffects some scenes can cause.However, even though this novella contained some very insightful and true to life aspects, a few things were unrealistic to me. I thought some of the character mannerisms were repetitive. I understood some of them were to show the personality of the characters, but I think it could have been mixed-up a little more.OverallThis novella isn't really about the characters or the story, but about the journey. I wasn't really sure how I felt about this novella until the ending. The ending is what really tied it all together for me and made this a solid four stars.* Copy provided by author.
