Pink Buttercream Frosting (from publisher):Desire: Blend sinful with sweet. Whip to perfection. Don’t forget to lick the spoon…
Aidn Greer is a much-sought-after Dominant in the BDSM lifestyle with an unusual problem. He hasn’t owned a submissive in more years than he cares to think about. He’s bored with unchallenging women, yet mentoring other Doms and training subs has left him cold as well. He’s craving something other than plain old vanilla—a taste of something sinfully sweet that, for once, he can really sink his teeth into. Professional cake baker Bailey Harris wasted ten years bored to tears with her marriage, enduring a job she hated, and harboring a secret desire for something passionate, fulfilling and dark. Then she found it…in the world of BDSM. Exploring on her own brought the kind of mind-opening experiences that led her to declare her independence—and exposed a yearning to find the one Dom for whom she’s willing to kneel. Permanently.
When Aidn and Bailey meet, it’s fire and ice. Sugar and spice. And an experience that satisfies every detail of both their fantasies. Almost. While the big, beautiful sub is everything Aidn wanted, her fierce independent streak could be more of a challenge than he bargained for…
Review: This is the first story I have read by this author. Lissa Matthews appears to be relatively new on the erotic romance scene as her website only shows three published stories. PBF is a bdsm story between a newbie sub, Bailey, and a reluctant dom, Aidn. Aidn and Bailey both have had issues in the past. Bailey divorced her husband because he didn't want to delve into the bdsm lifestyle. I find it hard to swallow that. If love, trust and friendship is there, why dump you're life for spankings. Hmm, I guess I just don't get that. Personally, I would never leave my husband because he couldn't/wouldn't fulfill a fantasy. Aidn had a sub he shared with a friend, who cheated on him with said friend. Hmm, maybe that comes from not being monogamous, you share so maybe she thinks you don't mind if she dilly dallies with the guy you usually share her with. I don't know.
Another thorn is that Aidn does not like, or finds overweight women attractive, yet he peruses Bailey. He is constantly coming to her and either having sex or fondles her to orgasm and then abruptly leaves saying he can't be involved with her. He even uses her weight as an excuse. Not exactly 'great catch' material. After repeated dumpings, Bailey gets it through her frosting filled head that he can't commit, even though he has said such. She meets a hunk-o-man-meat who has got the supreme hots for her and loves her curvy body, yet she is ripped away by Aidn for their own, umm, HEA, I guess. The I don't want to commit, especially to the fat girl routine is too much for me. Why does Bailey pursue a man who doesn't want her? Why not go out with buff studly from the bdsm club? Personally, I would have dropped Aidn like a hot potato and explored a relationship with someone who really wanted me, curves and all. Definitely, a one time quick read, only if you're bored. Very, very light on the BDSM, to almost non existent, so much that it's not really a bdsm story.
This author has another 'curvy girl' story and I will review it at another time. It is a bdsm story with bdsm sex themes.
