"Her Only Desire" is unlike most erotic/romance novels because it is an extremely well written erotic mystery that actually has substance.The chemistry between Boone & Tilly is not only believable but palpable. Both characters are well defined and in their own ways interesting.I personally am not a big fan of BDSM aspect but I consider myself to open minded when it comes to books so this is not my first foray into the genre. The reason I mention this is because although this is not my cup of tea I do believe that Delilah Devlin did an impeccable job balancing the BDSM element for both fans of this aspect and those who might not be educated or aware of the matter.I do have to say that the official synopsis is definitely misleading. Its not lying about anything but it does lead potential readers to believe that "Her Only Desire" is going to be a lot more heavy handed when it comes to the whole BDSM thing.I honestly would have given this book 5 stars but there where two things that I disliked about the book. The first was that even though Boone knows he wants Tilly he and his second in command still have sex with some blonde chick. Honestly that pissed me off... A lot! The only thing I could think of to rationalize this was that this scene was used to give readers a glimpse into Boone's mind and show this side of his sexual appetite. And while I will acknowledge that Tilly and Boone where not together at the time it still felt wrong to me. I guess the author did her job extremely well because my emotions where invested.The second problem I had was that the resolution to the story wrapped up a bit quick. It wasn't out of no where or contrived but it did seem a bit fast considering the pace of the book.Overall this was a surprisingly hot and pleasant read that managed to keep the mystery and intrigue going until the very end.*NetGalley provided me with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
