Bdsm checklist body writing12/17/2023 ![]() You can see the care and planning what went into the story and character development. I know that I say this after each book in this series comes out, but Cain and Victoria's story is my favorite. And when I say forced, she has a safe word and it is her choice to continue to scene with Cain. I love how Victoria is forced to explore her self-imposed limitations as to what she is willing to do as a sub and to explore her own deep seated reasons as to why she is a sub. L is a bit limiting in the BDSM world but he is rather creative with the use of leather. In this one, the letter for the game is L and Cain takes it as being for leather. I love the whole concept of this series and each one gets better. Not many subs would be willing to be flippant to any Dom but Victoria is. He actually admires her being a bit flippant with him when she served him a drink while she was behind the bar. Cain likes that Victoria is not totally submissive but willing to be herself in her relationships outside of scenes. Victoria and Cain have met before due to her being having served him drinks at Las Palmas prior to the game beginning. I wish I could give more than 5 stars but sadly not able to do so. I appreciated the discussion of fat-shaming. This is frustrating to this reader and it's particularly noticeable here.ģ stars. DuBois concentrates on the BDSM play as a way to spark a deeper connection, the books often end just as the couple is opening up to each other. I'm not entirely sure why every woman here has to be presented as having something wrong with her if she's not ultimately an über-submissive.įinally, though I'm enjoying the series, its major weakness is each book's abrupt ending. And I thought Victoria was more interesting in the beginning than she was by the end when she pretty much just gave into Cain on everything. In terms of character, while I appreciated how much Cain adored Victoria, I didn't always think he was a good dom (he didn't check on Victoria after she ran from their scene, for example). There were several typos a very odd plot point that comes out of left field and has nothing to do with the book's major line of action and an epilogue that has nothing to do with the MC. That said, the writing, plotting, and characterization weren't that strong. In addition, since my personal preference isn't for high-protocol, I enjoyed Cain and Victoria's more laid-back approach and equal footing. Victoria and Cain enjoy a dynamic we haven't seen before: they know and banter with each other, but have never played together. I really wanted to like this one better than I did. Here "L" means lots of leather-inspired activities, including a rather inventive use of a motorcycle. ![]() DuBois' other books.īecause each story features different characters, a different relationship dynamic, and different kinks, some will appeal more to individual readers based on personal preference than others. In fact, I would call these "novellas," rather than "novels" since much of the total page space is taken up with ads for Ms. Each is a stand-alone featuring a single couple (some long-standing, others not) that is long on erotica and short on story. ![]() (I say "assume" because I'm not entirely sure what kinks begin with "Z," but we'll see.) The series' central conceit offers us a dom and sub who participate in kink scenes that begin with the letter they've been assigned ("A," for example, includes "Anal Play"). This is the twelfth in what I assume will be twenty-six entries in a series set in Las Palmas Oscuras, one of those fantasy BDSM clubs popular in this genre.
