Desire by Marina Anderson

1.0

This started out with an independent career woman who I rather liked which is why the path this novel took irritated me so very much. The way the main character was introduced to an alternative lifestyle felt like coercion bordering on force and her desperation to keep an uncaring boyfriend made me cringe. The BDSM scenes might have been hot if they had been negotiated ahead of time by consenting parties instead of something she had to endure to keep her lover from leaving her. All of this combined made me sure the main character would end up with Andrew and so the ending was not where I wanted this story to go. I really, really wanted her to dump David in the most unpleasant and demoralizing way possible. In fact the hope that would happen is what kept me reading long past the time became uncomfortable with this read.
