Sum It Up! I really needed more foundation in each of these stories...

Review:
A long list of books for review came in to my
mailbox on a super busy day. What book(s) to pick? I didn't have time to hit
GR and pre-scan, so I had hoped in picking this book I wasn't getting an
historical and I was hoping on a bit of steam! Well...Considering the topic and
the title, I would expect at least a 3 on the steam level and the first story
delivered on that one. While I am not a big believer in the virginal damsel who
has her first time with a rich older man, this story was good enough. I did
find it a stretch that her first time out of the gate she ends up in dungeon.
That one had me crossing my eyes.
The second story was straight up vanilla and while
the story and the loving were genuine and romantic, I didn't see it fitting into
the title. However, both Drake and Ruby seem to have the same thoughts about
D/s and are looking forward to testing the waters with each other. We don't get
this in any way and left me wanting more.
The third story was good (super steamy), but left me
wondering if she serves Ken or Jeff. Jeff is the Olympian runner asked to train
her, while Ken is the man Jeff asks to "train" her. Both men seem taken by her
and in only one session, they are all in sync. The EXTREMELY short epilogue
left me with more questions than answers.
What I like about any story is the relationships,
the connections...whether it be between girlfriends hanging out or lovers. I
really needed more foundation in each of these stories...each was like having
dessert before dinner. Enjoy!
