Review: I love these prequels

One thing I love about Liz Crowe is when she writes about her characters that are into D/s relationships and how it all began. Usually we just read a paragraph or two about the character's backstory explaining why and how they got into BDSM, but it does not really give us much. I like to know what molded them to be the person that they are. Whether it was personal relationships or experiences, I want to know the whole story and be there with the character.  In House Rules we see what made Jack Gordon the man he is today; strong, in control and knows what he wants and goes for it.Liz Crowe does such an amazing job.  I have already read a few of Liz Crowe's books, but it seems like with each one, they get better and better.  I have not been disappointed.Did I feel connected to the characters?  I felt connected to Jack.  The cover of the book is perfect.  I think it shows the man that Jack is.Pace of the story: Very Good.Positives:  Jack's character is written so well.  Here is a broken soul who can't find comfort/peace and we see him trying.Negatives:  Not sure if it a negative about the book, but something I want to yell at Jack "stop choosing these crappy women!!!! You pick these dumb, selfish women and then you think that your father was right that women are only good for three things. You pick women awful women!!! We need Sara!"Do I recommend?  If you have not read any of the Stewart Reality book, this is a great intro to the series.  If you have read the Stewart Reality series, this will put some light to Jack's character.Bottom line: The characters' behaviors come to light when you read their back stories.  That is why I like when an author does these prequels. Plus, I love how the epilogue  gave the reader a look at the future. I am never disappointed when I read a book by Liz Crowe.Book Format Read: A copy was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
