I was not a fan of Going Deep by Ms. Lee. Jason wasn't convincing as a Dom, he was so needy & clingy and it felt like he and Carrie were just play acting throughout the book. Carrie was more convincing as a sub, but honestly, the blindfold thing during 90% of their "relationship" completely turned me off. The sexual heat was there, but there was zero personal connection between the two. So then of course they went ahead & fell in love but know NOTHING about each other except how they like their sex! He's ready to propose but doesn't know her full name & occupation? Toward the end, when Jason asks Carrie to move in w/ her...HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HER PHONE NUMBER! Jason also didn't seem like the kind of man who would want a woman submitting 24-7, but it looked to me like that was the way their relationship was headed, Carrie barely uttered his first name the entire book. I didn't feel like there was any romance, just weak and contrived bondage scenes that were way overdone and gratuitous (seriously, how many times can the words butt plug and orgasm and submit be uttered in one book!!). The only redeeming qualities about Going Deep were the interactions with Jason's twin Jeff and his wife Megan. Those were much more realistic than any other part of this book.I'm usually a fan of hard or soft BDSM books, and I'm definitely a fan of hot baseball players, but this story just did not make any sense to me. I'm looking at all these great reviews and wondering if there was some major plot point that I missed that would make their out of the bedroom relationship clear. Nope.
