The Plume

review 1: This was a fun short story that I downloaded for free on my Nook. You got to love free books, but of course this was book one and to get the whole story you have to buy the rest. Which I did! Uptight reporter, joanna, tries to sneak into a sex club so she can write a tell all piece about the club, but the owners have a plan to put her in her place and teach her a lesson. It was worth the read.
review 2: Joanna is a reporter looking for her big break. She thinks she has found that with Plume, a super secret BDSM club. In order to get the inside scoop, she has to become a member. I'll say that I liked this story, but I didn't fall in love with it. Rex, the owner of this club, is very protective of his and his client's privacy, so when he finds out that yet anothe... morer reporter is looking to get in, he decides to teach her a lesson. The fact that he knows Joanna from way back was a nice touch, and their interactions could have been fantastic, especially since Joanna has always been his dream girl. Now that he has a chance to get her, he treats her like crap. I'll say that Rex probably stayed true to a real life person, but this is fantasy and that's what I was looking for. For me, he should have been a protector and instead he punished Joanna even when it was clear that she was being genuine with him and even made her cry. In the end, he just leaves her bound to a hotel bed. Joanna initially came off as a headstrong go getter, and I really liked that, but after some kinky sex she turns into a submissive puddle and pretty much crawls back to Rex on her hands and knees in desperation at every turn. What ticked me off the most was that her friend and co-worker Mike seems like a genuinely nice guy and she has been pining away after him for, like, ever. The reader knows that he is also a dominate (at least at one point in time) and he is interested in her too, but he is completely forgotten about in lieu of good sex. All in all, the story was pretty good. The writing was excellent and the story was fleshed out well. The cliffhanger was a great place to stop, since this is the start to what is bound to be an explosive series. It just wasn't enough for me though. I am curious to see where these two relationships head, and I may check it out sometime, but for now, I am shelving it as a maybe. This is definitely a hot read and I can see a lot of people loving it, but it just didn't strike me like I would have hoped. Maybe the next one will. less
