Review: The Bondage Virgin
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 10 3, 2012
Rebecca and Will have gone on a few dates now, and Will has always acted the perfect gentlemen. Rebecca has been ready to move things into the bedroom, but Will has ignored her hints. She gets a text one evening from Will and knows it's finally time. She knows Will can deliver her the kink she wants, but can she handle it?I liked Rebecca for the most part, my problem was with Will. I felt that his personality was bipolar-ish. There are a few keys to this kind of relationship: trust, safety, and consistency.  Will is not consistent, it was confusing to me, confusing to Rebecca, and I didn't like it. If you're playing a role in a BDSM game, even just in the bedroom, not necessarily a full-time relationship, you have to be in that character the entire time.I wouldn't want Will as a Master because he's all over the place; it makes trust an issue. That's my next problem with Will: safety. I'm not blasting the author for this because I feel that the book actually does stress the importance of safe-words. Rebecca wanted one but Will wouldn't have it. It's not the author's job to nanny readers and lecture them on safety issues, but if you're going to note that it's important, why have the character completely disregard them? It also doesn't work (for me, anyway) with a story about a man desperate for this kind of relationship and not wanting to scare Rebecca away to make things feel scarier for her.This isn't a bad book, I just didn't like Will. Not liking one of the main characters can ruin a book for me. I did feel that this kind of dragged on at times but I did enjoy parts of the book. Overall, it was just an okay read for me.
