Review:

I'd like to know how the author defines a romance. Based on the book, if two people end up together, it’s a romance, in much the same way a Shakespearean play that does not end in tragedy is considered a comedy.

In this case, a Dom, John, decides to look for a sub. He advertises an online dating list for a submissive who isn't sure she is one. The author calls this book "a "how to" book featuring the methodology and psychology used by John. The tactics he uses in his careful hunt for his ideal submissive female is a blueprint for how to recruit and train a sub."

The problem is while we see how John thinks, we never really see how he feels. He's incredibly manipulative, working very hard to push Curi (short for Curious) into the lifestyle. He came across as cold, calculating and pompous. Curi was better, smart and willing to explore, but again, we see how she thinks more than how she feels.

This entire book felt more clinical than romantic. The only plot was whether or not John could convince Curi to become what he wants her to be and how she would react to a "play party" with John's friends.

Expect impact play, a brush with anal play, bondage, hot wax, and exhibitionism.
