alga96 's review for:
Take Care of You
by Gianni Holmes
DID NOT FINISH: 51%
honestly i feel that the overall idea behind this book is interesting, as well as a few of the plot points but the execution unfortunately wasn’t for me.
i am all for kinky reads, and while i don’t prefer it i am also fine reading about daddies, but in this case i had an issue with the dynamic between Declan and Owen. The way Declan doled out the “punishment” didn’t felt part of a typical BDSM dynamic, it felt abusive to me. The way Owen described feeling scared after Declan’s tone, or how much he hated certain “punishments” is not how a safe BDSM relationship works. This was especially strange as outside of the punishment aspect he was quite caring and soft on Owen, but I just couldn’t bring myself to read more unfortunately. I don’t know the author so I can’t speak for their work as a whole but it just felt to me like this was a poor representation of the BDSM community.
