Dirty Bad Wrong by Jade West
3.0
This was an excellent BDSM smut read, in my opinion. The dirty talk (filthy, really) and spice was on point! My reservation to giving a higher ⭐️ rating was the plot. I liked the overall story of Lydia and James, but wouldn’t have minded if the book was longer and drug out some of the internal struggles with each character. With the overall theme of struggling to let go and free your emotions, I feel like we could have seen more internal conflict, more back story, and epiphany moments when they let go and finally let the walls down.
Things I wash had happened:
1. I wish Lydia and Steph had come back together after their confrontation and resolved it as friends. Having different views and/or tastes doesn’t mean you cannot be friends. I think it really would’ve added to the story if Lydia tried to discuss her bedroom tastes with Steph. No one should be shamed for what they enjoy and I just I felt like there was no resolve between them.
2. I would have loved to see James put the effort forth to get divorced. Why wasn’t he fighting a divorce? Or even filed? It honestly didn’t make sense to me. He liked control, needed it, and Rachel was a wildcard. Why didn’t he just finalize the split? I think it would’ve shown greater effort on his part to further separate his old life from his current one after his declaration of love for Lydia. I feel like it would have shown his commitment to growth.
