But at 40% returned for a refund.  I have only read one other Patricia Logan book and thought it ok only.  Character development in this book is very shallow.  It is just awful. Poor sentence structure; cardboard cut out characters.  I really had high hopes based on the other reviews.  Here are some examples of my complaints:The author infers Trask has been through hell and through hard work and determination lands his dream job.  When faced with unwanted come ons by a co-worker Trask tells himself he may have to run again.  Then a couple of pages later Trask is telling himself he will file sexual harassment complaints.Val is getting a blow job from Stix.  Stix swallows.  Val kisses Stix.  Stix tastes Val's essence.  No duh!  The guy just came in Stix's mouth.  I think he tasted Val before they ever locked lips!Val has a hard body and works out.  Yet after climbing stairs to a 4th floor apt., Val is out of breath?  Val is a political refugee from Russia....He is "not an extreme player"  "had picked up a technique or two".....Then how on earth did he become a hired Dom at an exclusive members only BDSM club?  And where did this recent Russian immigrant get all his leather gear?  If he fled Mother Russia, where did the money for the chaps, harness, boots, etc. come from?  And one more thing...how can a Dom who has (by the book's own description) only picked up a technique or two know how to perform an actual prostate stimulation by using a sound?  This is what I mean by really poor character development.And finally,  if you are going to write about a city...please know it well enough so that if your reader happens to be from Austin or even TX, you don't come across appearing ignorant of the locale.
