Review: Characters didn't have much character

I really tried to force myself to finish this one, I really did. I would start and stop, start and stop...it wasn't all that interesting. The main issue was the writing, it didn't seem "polished" at all, not like someone who's written a lot of other books. Another problem, IMO, was with the descriptions of the Doms and their Subs, everything from their attire to the sex scenes. It all sounded as if a little of this and a little of that was pulled from a bunch of other books and thrown together. Nothing seemed fresh or original or exciting. The sex scenes were a little dry, especially the dialogue. What finally stopped me mid-read? You know how homophobic characters in a book often use slurs? Why is it that the author herself, 3 times on 1 page, described a character as a "black bull d--e"? (The missing letters are "y" and "k" in case you're wondering). I'm not even gay and I was offended. Stopped at 64%. I don't even care what happens from this point.
