Review: Generating sales with cliff-hanger-ending serial episodes...
Rating: 2 out of 5

Kelly Flynne has a major crush on John Taylor, the mysterious and seriously hot Dom she has been drooling over from afar at The Basement bdsm club. Then the power goes out, and she is trapped in an elevator with him--in the dark..."Bound" is not a short story because it lacks any closure or resolution. It is a short serial episode--a piece of the story. If you want, you can wait a while and then purchase the next piece of the story that will no doubt have another unresolved cliff-hanger ending (so that you will buy another, etc.). This type of series seems a lot less about telling a good story than it does about generating sales dollars. No, thank you.It is possible to write serials that still have some resolution and can stand alone, but that is not the case with "Bound".For an example of a COMPLETE steamy short story that draws you in and makes you want to come back for more, check out "Otherwise Alone", which is Book 1 of the "Evan Arden Trilogy" by Shay Savage.
