Review: Did not finish.  Too much description and ponderings.  I did not understand things.  Not enough happening.

BONDS OF DESIRE by Lynda Aicher.I stopped at 38%.  I felt like nothing was happening.  Following is a conversation that was spread out over ten pages.  My use of the word "descriptions" is descriptions, thoughts, and ponderings of the two men having the following conversation.  In each case an entire page or more goes by before the other guy answers.Page 1: Is Allie coming back?(descriptions for a page)Page 2: Would you like that?  Yes.(descriptions)Page 3: Me too.(descriptions)Page 4: Yeah?  Yeah.(descriptions)Page 5: And do you want this?(descriptions for two pages)Page 7: Yes sir.(descriptions)Page 8: Damn.(descriptions)Page 9: Look at me.  You're sure?(descriptions)Page 10: Yes sir.Tyler is a male prostitute with a low self image.  Seth and Allie are being kind to him and caring for him after he is seriously injured by a cruel Dom.  Tyler doesn't believe they care.  Allie packs a suitcase planning to stay at Seth's for a week to take care of Tyler.  She has not had sex with Seth before, and she just met Tyler.  Why is she taking a week's vacation from work to be around Tyler as he heals?  The two guys want a threesome with Allie.  She desires them but leaves to avoid it.  Those were my thoughts as I stopped reading.DISCLOSURE:I received a complimentary copy from the publisher Carina Press - an Advance Uncorrected Proof.
