review 1: I'd say this story is a ★★★3/4 star read. Probably best enjoyed by those who like to dream of HEAs also for those over the age of 20-29, with perfect, perky boobs and killer figures, because Grace has neither. Toffer; a Hollywood actor and Dom has his picks of those women. But what he really yearns for is a submissive woman who loves him for him. After sessions of online dominance, he invites her to California without revealing his true identity.I liked the way he guided her into her role as a sub. We se both the gentleness and dominance that should be part of this lifestyle. His self assured Dom personality also helped Grace through real life problems and personal issues and insecurities. And *the* phone call that finally led her to meet him in Las Vegas was funny;... more-)Some of the sex scenes were unrealistic, though. I mean, how easy is it to climax just by sticking a candle up your...? Still, an enjoyable little story.
review 2: BOO! I had hopes for this one. It just kind of fell flat for me though :( Even the steamy scenes were rather light.There were a couple of things that I thought would come into play more like Grace's weight. I mean, she's an overweight school teacher and he's a famous actor (one of most eligible bachelors). I expected more drama there. So, she's 40 pounds overweight and most of that weight is in her chest? Ummm... makes no sense, she's a DD nothing more.I was hoping for more of the cyber thing between Toffer and Grace. Also, I didn't think he was a dom. For me, it was more of an abuse of power. There seemed to be a lot of punishments, but not a lot of rewards. She's never done this before, but you're going to punish her if she doesn't get it right whether than guide her? That's not right. It was REALLY rushed too. Man, maybe this wasn't even worth 3 stars? I am bummed I paid $5 for this when it was too short and I didn't care for it that much. less
