Evelyn D. (EKD) reviewed Cold and Brutal - Not Sexy even for BDSM on 5/4/2009

Helpful Score: 7

I usually enjoy reading BDSM stories for a change of pace but for me the Hotness factor quickly diminished due to a lack of romance in these 3 stories. I found most of the sex scenes brutal rather than sexy and though these guys stated they "loved" these women, I did not feel the love. The way the guys got off on "punishing" these new trainees to the BDSM world just came of as demeaning rather than hot. Personally I think something is wrong with a guy Alpha or not who thinks he needs to punish a woman because she made him "hot for her" with a glance. To me this is not sexy, it smells of insecure male ego.

I'll stick to the writings of Maya Banks, Lora Leigh, & Jaci Burton for my step on the wild side. I need a bit of romance to go along with the hard core sex to keep it from seeming so brutal.
