When I saw that this was an interracial romance, I was all down for it. Then, there was BDSM element. WTF? I blame 50 Shades for this.I have studied the BDSM scene and have made really great friends. There are certain categories that people identify with or placed in, e.g. top, bottom, Brat, Sub, Dom, etc.If a black woman, who is strong and independent and never experienced kink before much less with a white man, there is no way in hell she's gonna drop her panties for some dude she just met and is her boss unless she ho. Also most men in higher positions like CEO types are never dominate in the bedroom. There is that rare 1% that still want that control, but 99% of them rather give up the control in the bedroom because they have all the control in their work life and daily life. In the bedroom and behind closed doors, they want to be liberated of that control.I would have believed the story if the BW was willing to date the WM first, then moved to a sexual relationship, and finally and BDSM relationship. I would have looked passed the WM was a Dom in his work life, daily life, and in the bedroom. I would have loved to see the gradual relationship grow instead of wham, bam, thank you man. I was left unsatisfied.The author could have done so much more. I didn't mind Camille's ghetto up bringing, but with how she was, there is no way in hell she would have submitted and I have talked to women like her in the scene and they're a Domme. They prefer it that way and yes, they have white men as their Subs.What also got me was the change of POV. It should have been in either Camille's POV all the way or just 3rd person POV.I didn't like it. It was a quick read, I would have rather had a gradual build-up.
