Review: Nice read, but not as hot as I'd hoped

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I wasn't floored. It's a cute story of how Lucien and Tara go back and forth on relinquishing control and trusting each other for the sake of trying to win an online reality show, but it wasn't as sexy as I'd hoped. It DOES say how a true Dom or Alpha is not some overly ego maniacal jerk. It was refreshing to read how the Dom/Alpha wasn't some overly abusive, pushy and/or arrogant jerk that seems to litter pages of "romance" novels today. Sometimes a Dom has to "submit" to gain real control.It also mentions how people are flocking to the wrong thing (including reading about kidnapping and rape- what is wrong with people who like to read this?!?!) thanks to FSOG. DW talks about what BDSM is as well as what it is NOT, and how wrong some stuff is, so kudos for that.I didn't mind the switching of the first person POV, but if you're going to do that, you need to let the reader know you're doing it, otherwise it's tough to follow.Nice read, but I'm not sure I'm interested in future books. I'll have to think about it...
