His Secrets by Lisa Renee JonesMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
***ARC given by Netgalley.com in exchange for an honest review**
Before reading a BDSM-themed novel, sometimes I wonder "Just how dysfunctional are these characters going to be?" Also,I wonder "Is this going to be the PG, PG-13, R, NC-17, or XXX view of the BDSM universe?"
With this novella, I would have to say that this is the PG-13 preview of a rated NC-17 view into the BDSM universe.
Although some of the dialogue seemed somewhat stilted, I found this novella to be quite interesting , but entirely too short to answer all of the questions that I had about Chris, Sara, and Chris' freaky menagerie of friends, foes, and utter whores...
I hate to say this, but I have to say it.. Like other fans of FSOG, I've developed these FSOG glasses that literally compel me to examine just about every BDSM themed book and ask, "Is this a FSOG rip-off?"
As fans of FSOG, what we sometimes fail to remember that well in advance before FSOG ever came into being from Ms. James' inspiration via the sexual angst of "Twilight," purveyors of smut/BDSM were hard at work on their typewriters/computers drafting tales so naughty, that the pages literally smoldered and started a fire in the readers who dared to read those naughty pages...
Although she didn't inspire me to rush out and 1-click the entire series, Ms. Jones has managed to whet my curiosity about her series and perhaps 1-click the 1st book in the series.
Giving this one: 3 solid stars
