If you are in the mood for vamps there is lots of good stuff about the fight against the one who killed his father and the different types of vamps (some turn into half-man/half-ow, some into snakes, etc.) and the big climax battle scene is very good, but I just go a bit tired of Corbin's constant negative attitude about everything.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-24343800550347434022011-06-28T14:15:34.082-04:002011-06-28T14:15:34.082-04:00Ooh, I loved Bound and Determined!

He did come around, but at one point I was so frustrated with his almost childish behaviour, I wasn't sure I wanted him to. :-)<br /><br />You definitely need to be in a D/s mood, if not completely BDSM, to enjoy the second since it's alot about the headspace.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-9413753946020817412011-06-28T13:32:49.266-04:002011-06-28T13:32:49.266-04:00There was lots of talking Val, but it was more lik...There was lots of talking Val, but it was more like "What did you like about that or dislike and how did it feel when I did X?" so that the Dom could adapt the activities rather than just "assume" he knew the guy liked something or not. And he tried to figure out WHY he wanted to be a sub and what he got out of it, rather than some kind of "inate" thing that he just knew. So while there was lots of discussion it was more natural and worked in this case. I think if he had just been "I know what you like" it would have been off-putting.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-79363174484156056932011-06-28T13:25:33.691-04:002011-06-28T13:25:33.691-04:00You're right, Corbin from Fighting Chance soun...You're right, Corbin from Fighting Chance sounds like a miserable SOB. I hate when I don't like one of the characters and want the love interest to go find someone they can be happy with. *sigh* why don't they listen to me? lol<br /><br />The other book sounds good but I've not been too into BDSM books lately so it will have to wait.<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts. Hope life gets better for you! :)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320961506471746567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-5247262781177540942011-06-28T13:13:55.791-04:002011-06-28T13:13:55.791-04:00Very interesting reviews!

One of the many reasons I don't much like BDSM fiction (and I'm not referring to <i>Bound and Determined</i> because I haven't read it) is a tendency for the characters to pompously discuss every facet of their relationship like lawyers drawing up a contract. I mean, I guess they have to be clear on the rules, but still ...it's hard to do well in fiction.Average Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955137026396047753noreply@blogger.com
