I do not enjoy giving extremely harsh reviews but sometimes I feel duty-bound to, especially when it is blatantly apparent that the writer in question is out to make a quick buck by peddling dung disguised in a pretty wrapper. (I am referring of course to the installment scheme)I honestly did not enjoy this novella at all. It started out well enough, barring the grammatical errors and the numerous misspellings, but by the 30% mark I found myself scanning over pages and grinding my teeth. The 'lowly, virgin submissive meets gorgeous, demanding billionaire with deviant sexual inclinations and embarks on a life-changing adventure' has been done too many times before. What's more, it has been done by better storytellers in possession a superior and less contrived grasp of the English language.This tale fell flat mainly because of the uninspired direction. There was no mystery, no real conflict, not an inkling of personality.My advice to the potential purchaser is as follows: download this book if curiosity compels you to, but only if it remains free.My advice to the writer would be this: find a topic you are truly passionate about, or a story you absolutely yearn to tell, then do some research. Read more than just a few examples of great and bad literature on the topic. Once you have done this, read up on the experiences of successful writers and take the advice they so generously share to heart. Who knows, you just might write something people will gladly pay for if you do.
