Krystal is 18 and has just seen her best friend Maddie having sex with Krystal's boyfriend Joey. In her anger, she hatches a plan to do something worse to Maddie by pursuing her father. However, Mr. Hendricks doesn't need to be pursued; in her very first attempt to come on to Maddie's Father, she's called on it. Mr. Hendricks wants the 18 year old to be his sex slave, and so the two build a D/s relationship in secret.I knew when I bought this that the heroine was 18, it's in the description. I also saw the mention of High School boyfriends. However, Krystal and Maddie are actually still in High School. Not only does the book spend a lot of time dealing with High School hierarchies, we're also faced with teenage mean girl behavior. The worst part of this is that Krystal comes off MUCH younger than 18 outside of her relationship with Mr. Hendricks. Had the story just been an 18 year old already out of High School and it wasn't so in your face continuously about how young Krystal is and acts, I would probably have been able to let it go. Personally, I don't want to read about High School kids and their drama. I avoid YA like the plague for this reason. This is supposed to be erotica, not YA.The erotica portion of it is good, people who enjoy BDSM will like the scenes in this. The real problem is buying into Krystal as a suitable heroine. It's hard to say if this is recommendable or not, I'm torn. Half of it I liked (the relationship and the BDSM); half of it, I hated (the kid stuff). It'll basically come down to what potential readers can stomach. If you're okay with the YA/BDSM combination..you'll probably love this. If not, I'd suggest finding something else.
