Review: To many periods, not enough commas...

Having read the two Smokies books and the first book in this series, this book fell short of the mark.  Esp at the price!Gabe identifies himself as a Dom, yet we get no background (ie: Did he go to clubs? Dd he practice at home? Did he have a play room? How did he play? Was he a sexual Dom or 24/7 Master?).  It reminded me a little bit of that other highly over-rated series written by someone who had just enough knowledge of the BDSM lifestyle to mis-inform.  And that bratty Kathleen was reminding me of Yoko Steele, the one who turned the masterful Dom into a wuss.  I did like how Gabe clearly stated he was not giving up the lifestyle.  Being a Dom wasn't what he did...it was who he was; however again it just stopped.  A period instead of a comma.Books don't always have to have a villain or dark-side. Sometimes it's just about maneuvering through life, but there was no maneuvering, just a bunch of stop and go's.I never got a warm fuzzy feeling from Kathleen. I don't think she ever accepted Gabe for who and what he was. I think.  Well I think she's another Yoko Steele.  I'll call her Kathleen Ono.  In the end she will probably turn the Dominant wolf into a wuss too.It had possibilities but at that price, I expect a whole lot more writing...not just a bunch of 1st chapters of other books.  If it had been 99 cents or even 1.99, I don't I'd feel so robbed.
