The Deep End (Honey, #1)

I almost DNF'ed this book a bunch of times in the first half of the book. I just could not get in to the story. :/

I got a bit lost in the beginning of the book. It might have been the narrative, as I am not the biggest fan of third person, possibly just the story starting out really slow as well. There was a lot of inner dialogue I could have lived without, especially in the beginning of the book but eventually I started to get in to the story. I really enjoyed the second half of this book a lot more than the first half. Things definitely got a lot more interesting, there was more than just intense dirty sex happening ..the story developed a lot more.

Amelia is the DOMME in this book, and it was interesting, seeing the female in that role… and Olivier was referred to as an Alpha/Sub.. and he was definitely a Kristen Ashley ALPHA IN ALMOST ALL THE WAYS, except for the playroom. O_O Say what? He is what I saw someone refer to in another review as “Lion in the streets, kitten in the sheets.” and I TOTALLY AGREE with that. This made for an interesting Kristen Ashley story for sure.

It’s not my favorite book of Kristen Ashley’s but it was ok. It’s just a lot different than what we are used to from her. That’s ok though. I will probably read the next book though because I have some guesses as to who it will be about... and the one character seems very interesting.
