Review: 3.5 stars, a little like a manual on bdsm and some confusing mob stuff thrown in at the end.

This book was not shocking to me, in fact it read like a bdsm manual on cuffs and chains, punishments and crawling around. There is very little to love or showing love in such books because it takes an established relationship to bring out the connection when the Hero is solely focused on getting into the woman's backside, literally and physically. It would appear according to this relationship, that the be all and end all of a bdsm styled relationship, is penetrating into the subs body in every way and that somehow magically creates a spiritual connection that surpasses all others. I did not like two things about this book, the cop out reunion scene after Tex humiliated Abby, which seemed like this author forgot to write; and the lame mob connection, Abby turning out to be a powerful woman on the Vegas hotel scene at the end. What did I like about this book? I liked the beginning when these two people actually seemed to be slowly getting to know one another, but after the halfway point, this story fell apart slowly but steadily. This author writes long books, no doubt which are harder to do than short ones, however, the loss of momentum and cohesiveness, not to mention beleivability, is a common weakness of such long stories and i believe this book fell victim to that.
