Review: Not What I Expected Or What I Wanted

The Dom Project by Heloise Belleau and Solace Ames was not at all what I expected after reading the blurb. The blurb made the book seem like a real BDSM novel and it wasn't. While I thought Robin was hella funny on her blog, The Picky Submissive, outside of that she was a bit dull and I didn't connect with her on an emotional level. That being said, I don't feel like she and John really connected on an emotional level which flat out sucked the life out of the book for me.Color me disappointed. John was insanely hot but the interactions between Robin and John were too clinical and not in the least bit smexy. I have absolutely no interest in hearing about a sub organizing her Dom's book collection or posing for old school pinup pictures. I want the bondage and domination, the submission and pain. Also, I want detailed accounts of those things including the emotions behind them.While Robin and John were both likeable, the story more than fell flat and there was no sexiness at all. At least not for me. Again, I'll say that The Dom Project was too clinical when it should have been focusing on the emotion behind the D/s relationship. If you are looking for a good BDSM read, I suggest you look elsewhere.*eARC PROVIDED BY CARINA PRESS VIA NETGALLEY*
