Before we begin let me just address something. I’m mad at all of you. Yes YOU *stern look* How did someone not tell me about this fantastic serial? I’m in love with it, L-O-V-E, love. Now that we’ve got that out of the way let’s move on to the review. Oh, and by the way big ‘ole spoilers if you haven’t read the first two episodes.
So when we last left my favorite couple, Fin had finally quit being a dickhead and was letting Marisol in. Or more accurately, Marisol was letting him in . . . to her panties. In many books where the man has a bit of a control issue, he’s an asshole in and out of the bedroom. But one of the many things that make Deep Surrendering unique is that Fin has this Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing going on. Which yes, I know sounds terrible, but is actually ridiculously hot. Nervous boy one minute, demanding sex god the next, the ability Fin has to flip his switch is as unnerving as it is exciting. His “depravity” (Fin’s words not mine) is such contrast to his normally sweet and sexy demeanor. It makes his character more complex and interesting than any of the dominant males I’ve read up to this point.
But Fin isn’t the only one breaking the bdsm romance mould. Anyone looking for a strong female character, look no further. Marisol is an absolute delight. Her character is real and easy to relate to. Yes, of course there are moments (Oh, you had sex with prostitutes? No biggie.) that are surreal but it’s a book, of course there are going to be moments like that. What I can relate to is her ability to be insecure about the little things but stand firm when it matters. There’s a scene in which Fin doesn’t consider asking Marisol about contraceptives before they have sex. She had the strength to get mad at him even though it might make him run away again and it was awesome. Finally a heroine who knows how to pick her battles: spanking and delayed gratification, yes; forgetting a condom, hellllllll no. Plus her irrational fears and random thoughts are hilarious.
Episode One & Two are definite 4.5 stars for me. Episode Three didn’t reveal as many secrets as the previous novellas. I still enjoyed it very much. Each layer Fin reveals makes me want more. But Episode Three felt more like filler. I still liked it and I know it serves to move the story forward, I just didn’t love it like I did Episode One & Two. I’m excited to see what the next chapter in Fin and Marisol’s story brings. The more I learn about Fin’s wicked, twisted depravity the more I want to fall deeper down the rabbit hole. I wait on bated breath for Episode Four.
