Review: No real plot - if you want a steamy somewhat erotic read, this is it

Rachel and Cole have sex.Rachel and Cole have steamy hot monkey sex.Rachel and Cole have crazy mind boggling (male-dom, but not kinky) sex.Okay - yes, the sex scenes are really well written. Cole dominates Rachel, but it's not annoying, nor does she do anything humiliating.It's super steamy. They don't jump right into things, the author really drags things out and makes things super hot. Steamy hot.But it got old for me.I wanted to see their relationship develop.I wanted read about how they build a friendship, respect each other, help each other to be stronger, to grow, to trust.the trust focused mainly on how he treats her in bed (or on the desk, or standing up, etc)I kept reading to see when they would start to open up with each other. Laugh over dinner. Share feelings (even if it's to talk about childhood dreams, work, anything). He does come to visit her at work - but it's mainly about sex. And it doesn't happen until much later in the book.How is this a real relationship where they never really learn about each other. He goes through a litany of items, but it's not enough.This book really had not plot at all.Rachel has an overbearing brother and the obstacle of having Cole and her brother accept each other is a major obstacle. But it really isn't. Takes two meetings and POOF. Problems solved.Rachel shares her big secret to Cole and the big reveal is no big reveal. It fizzled before it even built up any fire.If the author could put as much detail into building their relationship into a REAL relationship as was put into describing the million sex situations, this could have been a good book.I can understand how some people liked this book - if you like sex in a book - this is for you.If you need more plot, character development, depth, a decent storyline, any suspense, etc. This is not for you.There is the HEANo cliffhangerI did not read the other books in the series, and that is not the problem.I had no real interest in the characters. Didn't really care about them, and no prior books would have helped this one for me.This book did seem to assume that you read the other two books. Didn't like that either. Described some scenes, but made assumptions elsewhere.
