Review: NOT ALOT OF DEPTH BUT DEFINITELY A QUICK AND DIRTY READ

"There will be a lot of bondage, toys, suspension, anal play, spanking, and much more."Okay. I almost stopped reading this book right there. Another BDSM book? Yawn. I didn't realize that when I picked this book. Thank goodness the hero was only kinky and not tortured; I really can't take reading about another tortured Dom right now.  At least there was no visit to a sex club. That's something. I certainly rolled my eyes when on their first date the main character lays it all out on the table -what he wants and it includes whips, anal plugs, and punishment. But hey, that's just me.In Deceitfully Yours, we meet Kylie who comes across as a part time con-artist/photographer that uses her beauty to get what she wants from men. She's encouraged in her con-artist ways by a nefarious figure named Mason who taught her everything she knows.  Kylie scopes out and later meets and begins a relationship with Jude Baxtor, a handsome and successful hotelier. Kylie and Jude begin a relationship and their intense chemistry leaves both of them unsettled as their carefully constructed walls come tumbling down. Unfortunately, Kylie has a lot of secrets including the ulterior motive she has for beginning a relationship with Jude to begin with.Deceitfully Yours is a short read but all in all it just didn't really work for me.  It was just okay, nothing special. I did think the second part of the book was better than the first, up until the 75% mark. I don't want to give anything away but I was definitely rolling my eyes. I mean Kylie had plenty of times to come clean about her deception and ask for Jude for help, but she doesn't. Manufactured angst. I know there will be plenty of people that really like this book. It's quite descriptive in some parts and Jude definitely has a way with words."Once I push my ------ into this tight little ------, it's like you signing your name on a contract. Your screams, moans, and cries will all belong to me. I will control your pleasure and your pain, and you'll beg me for your orgasms.""I'm going to ----- you ruthlessly until your voice is hoarse and your ------ craves me day in day out. Don't try to take more than you can handle because you think you deserve it. If it's too raw and dirty for you, you safeword."I didn't really connect with the characters and didn't think the story had any depth.  Defiantly Yours, the next book in this series is expected out in January of 2014. Defiantly Yours will be Jax and Stacia's story. While I wouldn't add Defiantly Yours to the top of my TBR list when it's released, it may be worth a shot for readers who are looking for a quick and dirty without a lot of substance. And there's nothing wrong with that =)
