I really liked this book and would have given it 4 stars but for two things. Gwen's self loathing over her sexuality especially when it was painfully [pun intended] obvious that Ty shared her kinks and the ending seemed rushed as if the author wanted to wrap up this story quickly and move on. I could have liked Ty and Gwen a lot given more time with them in the bedroom with Gwen embracing her fantasies and with an ending that was less like a "wham bam thank you ma'am" kinda thing. I really enjoyed the premise for this story and the way Carr set the chapters up. The emotions were very compelling, especially in the last chapter. The scene where Gwen comes to the set was extremely hot, as was the following in the car. Limo sex is always enticing in my book. People looking to learn about the BDSM lifestyle will get a nice education. LOLThis was a short story, so I have to give the author liberties to cut certain things short. However I did find some of the transitions jarring. For example, when Gwen leaves Ty's place for those two weeks at the start of the book, I would have liked to have that separation explored a little bit. She suddenly was coming back. Sometimes I struggled to to get a really clear sense of Ty's emotions...he and Gwen seemed to be a little too similar in the way they expressed themselves or thought to get distinct personalities. The POV switches mid-paragraph contributed to this. Having said that, again, I really liked this book and the issues I had with it were not significant. Writing short stories/novellas is tricky.
What do You think about Rough Cut (2010)?
Not sure why I didn't finish this. Just set it down and didn't pick it up.
