Past her prime at 24, Olympic Downhill Skiing Gold Medalist, Calista Carter, needs two things - a world-renown plastic surgeon who specializes in breast augmentation... and a Master. In Dr. Derek DeWine, she finds both. But when Derek tells his wife that their household is about to expand, Sherri reveals herself in ways he couldn’t have imagined. Keeping two very submissive women enslaved can be punishment.
I have enjoyed all this author's books. This one however, I didn't enjoy as much. I guess it was confusing for me because the protagonist is a male and the POV is all from him. Many times, I didn't understand what he wanted from the women. Keep in mind, I'm reading what he is thinking and feeling. If I couldn't understand his wants/desires, how the hell could those women have understood? This book takes the body modification to a degree that I can definitely see happening. What flat chested woman with self esteem issues wouldn't want huge natural breasts? The training these "Partners" put the females through is pretty close to torture in my book. The fact that each of the Partners is a doctor with their own specialties is a bit disturbing. Still, it was an engaging read and kept me wanting to know what was going on.
That is one thing I can say for Lady Midnight books . . . they always make me feel just a bit uncomfortable because she pushes at all my soft limits.
I'm with Bookaddict. I found all the characters hard to relate too. I didn't really understand what was happening or going to happen. It seemed like a lot of talk and very little action and you don't get inside any of the slave's heads to get their experience. Dr. Derek is kind of just blah IMHO - so getting things from his POV means it's all about what he thinks - which was kind of boring at times. I have one more book by this author in my TBR but if that one is not a lot better than I can say this author is not for me.
I agree with the other two reviews. Although I managed to finish this book, as I hate not finishing a book I have started, I found it quite heavy going at times. The characters do not endear themselves to the reader and most of the time I couldn't really care less about them. It does say a lot about the true nature of D/s relationships though, requiring love on both sides to flourish and I was happy to find that they all seemed to get what they wanted at the end.
