Where do I start? I was hesitant to start this serialized novel. I believe it is a way for publishers to make more money by selling books in installments which in turn, gouges the consumer. I believe $16 is way too much money to spend on this book. I wish I hadn't purchased as many parts as I did.Basically, I enjoyed the first story and the characters so I kept going. The chapters were fairly well-written and definitely well-edited which I greatly appreciated. I loved Francesca's artistry and relationship with her roommates. I couldn't quite feel her connection to Ian or his to her.Unfortunately, this installment did me in. I won't be buying any more. If I could return all the sections right now I would. I feel like the bondage went way too far for my comfort level. It seemed as if there was a marked lack of connection between the characters; no loving relationship to help even out the shock of the BDSM. I've decided I'm not a fan of BDSM fiction and I won't be reading anything else this heavy. I don't mind the light stuff but this was not light. Let's not even talk about how I feel about the "back door".I'm starting a personal boycott against serialized novels from publishing houses. I can understand an Indie author who is self publishing but Penguin Publishing has no excuses. Please treat your consumer with respect Penguin. I'd much rather pay $10 for an entire novel than $16 (potentially more) for a novel I ultimately didn't enjoy!
