Review: I needed more romance and passion

Not much of this romance stood out or captured my interest. I wasn't invested in what was happening.The heroine was meh, nothing special or endearing. Just sort of there. Can't say I cared that much about her or her sexual journey. The hero didn't heat me up either. I liked that he was tatted up and Chinese-American, and I really wanted him to get me going, but those sex scenes-D/s scenes didn't do it for me.I didn't buy the heroine as being particularly submissive, nor did the hero come across as a true sexual dominant. He seemed pretend, and she seemed kind of silly and pretentious. I love D/s and bdsm, soft and hard-core, but the D/s dynamic here felt half-hearted. It wasn't strong or erotic enough to me. Almost too analytical. The scenes had the right words but didn't deliver any strong feeling/emotion.I found myself skimming sometimes, looking for some romance and passion, but overall, I didn't really find it. Gets a little sexier toward the very, very end, but by then, I wasn't feeling the h/H or believing their romance all the way. For me, this wasn't romantic enough or hot enough, and at times, it was even boring. I made myself finish it.
