Sting Factor (kink): 3 out of 5
This book hit several of my “really don’t like this” triggers. One is it is part of a serial, which is different than a series. In a series, there is a definite ending. In the serial, the reader is left hanging-which is the case here. The second thing is bringing in another couple and their relationship, which has zero bearing on the plot. So Vanessa and Ben are friends of the heroine, Lydia, but if the author wants to explore their May-December relationship, she should give them their own book, not take away from Lydia’s story.
My other issue is the lack of condoms. The second couple finally use one, but most of the time people hop in and out of bed without any protection at all.
Having said all that, I really want to read the end of this story. Lydia is a violinist with the Westminster Symphony Orchestra and is madly in love with Milan, a gifted violinist who keeps getting in the way of his own career. She finally leaves him when she finds him having sex with another woman, and takes up with von Ritter, the new conductor of the orchestra. She learns he is a Dom and enjoys submitting to him, he never takes things all the way, although he gives her breath taking orgasms. Then he has the same woman who was sleeping with Milan give him a blow job and Lydia leaves him behind as well. The book ends with both men saying they want Lydia, but she is taking time away from both of them.
