Review: OK Read

I enjoyed the first half more than the second, and it generally works out better if it's the other way around.The hero and heroine are OK. There's a healthy cast of characters and beginning threads of secondary plotlines - this is the first in a series - but you don't get anything of any real depth. There is no chance to grow invested in the lead couple, to care if things work out for them. And once the regular sex starts (instead of just the anticipation of same), everything else just stops anyway.But even the sex lacks depth. The BDSM lifestyle isn't really explored in any way. You get the usual explanation of what draws the heroine, the relief of a woman with overwhelming responsibilities letting someone else have control. But you never get any insight into his impulses. In fact, except for the fact that he's doing the spanking, the hero doesn't come across as a dominant at all. It bugged me.However, it wasn't bad. And it was free. So, you decide.
