Teaching Maya is a romance novel that touches on BDSM. It’s a quick, easy read that I found interesting, and kept me entertained.Maya thinks there is something wrong with her as the one and only relationship she had left her feeling unsatisfied with the sex. She decides to seduce the ‘oh so very hot’ Ryan Clayborn during a two-week family vacation. Ryan makes it clear that he doesn’t date, and he plays hard in the bedroom. Maya accepts his terms, not really understanding about the BDSM aspect of it .I don’t usually read BDSM books (I did read 50 shades, which scarred me for life!) I was pleasantly please by the fact that Maya, was not taken advantage of too much, and she wasn’t tortured to braking point, and that she set the pace at times, not Ryan. The only exception was the shower scene, which was a little too much 50 shades for me.The background descriptions are limited, I have been to Paris, and a little more description would have really set the scene, after all, it is the most romantic city in the world.The continuous use of putting thoughts into speech marks, and the over use of ellipses,… for no obvious reason… was distracting.  I had to re-read to check whether she was speaking or, thinking, and as to what was being omitted by the ellipses.
