Since I have never read anything by Laila Blake before, I was excited to read Driftwood Deeds and discover a new author.  I have to say that I enjoyed Laila Blake’s descriptive style of writing. Her characters are more natural and “true to life” based. It was a nice change from the  “beyond beautiful” characters that I always read about.  Don’t get me wrong, Paul and Iris are pretty, just not all rock hard, perfect body, pretty. Paul and Iris’s beauty was described as real and uncluttered.I really liked Paul. I mean, I really liked him.  Watching him through Iris’s point of view was a fun experience.  He was engulfed in character traits that I found attractive. Their communication with each other was comforting.The story was good but was a little choppy in the beginning and first few chapters.  Also, a significant moment in the story line is based around a movie and although I understood the reference, if you have not seen the movie, one would be lost.  The movie reference needed to be explained a little more for anyone that had not seen it. Also, the pet references were justified but a little extreme for my tastes.Driftwood Deeds was a fast and enjoyable read. In the short time with Paul and Iris, I felt connected. Being erotica fiction, the sex was hot but based on a consensual BDSM relationship. The novella left no cliff hangers and was a complete standalone story. I look forward to reading more from Laila Blake.DRIFTWOOD DEEDS gets 3 out of 5 Platypires. Texas Hugs and Happy Reading!!!
