I just completed this book and I was definitely disappointed.  This book could have been so much more if the author had realized that while erotic sex is great, there needs to be a plot worth reading as well. There was all of this information being given about characters being a particular way and then absolutely no reason given as to why. People were suddenly being shoved into sex roles they had supposedly been using all along but our little naive virginal leading lady never knew.  Seriously?  A best friend who obviously enjoys sex that includes bondage and spankings etc., never, ever talks to her virgin BFF about anything like that?  Not likely. And certainly not likely that said best friend, having sex with a man who learned his sexual proclivity from the man your virgin BFF is starting to date says absolutely nothing about it.  And while we're on the subject, what is the link between the two men?  No build up, no explanation about how they know each other outside of work or what brought about the sex teaching that the characters say took place.  In fact. up until the leading lady is supposed to be learning about tied up, tied down, voyeur sex, nothing is even mentioned about the two guys knowing each other well enough for this information to have been passed along.  Prior to that they seemed to be nothing more than boss and employee.  What is that about?  The author states throughout the book about how the leading male needs this kind of sex for some reason but whatever that reason is never gets explained or explored and your left in the dark.  There is no build up about how the female lead, a supposed virgin college coed, met and became friends with a woman who strips in a bar. What are the chances of this really?  The lead male goes off with his ex because something happened to his father, causing problems between him and our little co-ed, but then the author drops that ball and never explains what the problem with dad-o was.  I mean nothing.  No mention of dad again in the book anywhere.  Again, really?  The best friend is all up in arms about this and is ranting and raving about protecting our leading lady and then when the guy shows up to win said leading lady back she doesn't even confront him?  In fact, she then proceeds to have sex in front of little Ms. Co-ed?  There are so many holes in this plot that I could write pages on the whys and the what the hell moments that presented themselves in this book.I'm all for great sex in romance books and I'm certainly not turned off by exploring outside of the boundaries of run of the mill sex, but if the plot is simply absent and the characters make no sense what so ever, then the book is frankly a waste of time.  My advice....don't spend your money.  If you want a quick turn on just bookmark and re-read the sexy parts of another book you liked and skip this one.
