The Submissive by Tara Sue Me
3.0
I don't usually read these types of book but I've been immersed in Fantasy lately so I wanted to read something different.
I have to say I skimmed most of the sex scenes - I know, it's ridiculous when this book is all about them but I was more interested in the characters and their developing relationships. I wanted to read this book because the topic interested me since it's a lifestyle you don't hear much about. Why do people do it? How do they organise themselves between their daily lives and their lifestyle? Why does society react negatively to it? Well, the academic in me was curious although I am aware this was not the most appropriate way to have my questions answered.
I really loved these characters, I love reading about their conversations and the time spent together. I loved Abby as a protagonist.
And when Abby and Nathaniel started quoting poetry to each other? I melted!
The thing is, as much as I love these characters they lack a certain depth to them. They're still enjoyable to read about but they're certainly not memorable. The writing is very weak: the descriptions are minimal which would sometimes confuse me and there aren't enough contemplative moments for Abby's POV.
I don't think I'm going to keep reading this series. I felt okay with how it ended.
