No time for the trust to develop...

***A wee bit spoilery, please proceed with caution***

I actually really enjoyed the first half of Picture Perfect Cowboy. It sucked me in, took me to a place where I could escape reality, and had me observing...The Life and Times of the Rich and Kinky. I kind of need to be sucked into an erotic story to enjoy it. If I'm not sucked in, I start thinking...and thinking...and thinking. Unfortunately, the second half of the story wasn't as enthralling and I was distracted by stuff that took this story from sexy to unbelievable.

I really felt like I wasn't given enough to believe in Jason and Simone's HEA. There wasn't time for true trust to develop and their "love" appeared too instant. It was more kinky lust than love. In a lot of my favourite erotic romances, the couple develops a loving relationship over time based on trust, comfort and security. It also felt like Simone was topping from the bottom. This, obviously, was because she was the experienced player in their kinky time and Jason was a learner driver.

Jason and Simone came across as very immature. At 28-29 years of age, you would think a bloke had grown out of leading his life according to Mummy and Daddy's plans. I also felt like Jason's kink was too attached to his past. He should have addressed his issues before starting any Master/Submissive relationship. He was a little too unsure to be a Master and I think I prefer it when they lead.

If I had to read Mistress Nora or Master S, ONE MORE BLOODY TIME, I think my eyes would have rolled out of my head. Simone is a submissive so I get that she likes to be controlled, bossed around and told what to do. I just couldn't help thinking she's a grown woman, why does she keep going to them for approval? Especially when it came to Nora. It seemed like Simone ALWAYS had Nora on her mind.

I do not get this whole sharing each others master/mistress/slave/submissive/dominant thing. I also don't know how you can "play" without the connection. How do you let a stranger do that stuff to you? How can you watch on as someone else plays with your partner/spouse?

OK, ^^^^ that rambling above is proof that I'm probably not the right audience for Picture Perfect Cowboy. Maybe I've grown out of kinky for the hell of kinky stories. I couldn't turn off my brain and the second half of the story was impossible to believe and had me rolling my eyes. I admit I was initially turned on a wee bit, but by the end, I was skimming, tutt-tutting and grumbling *grow up, already*.

This was my second Tiffany Reisz and I'm sorry to say, it will be my last.
