The Mistress Diaries by Julianne MacLean

The Mistress Diaries by Julianne MacLean

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was the first book I've read by Ms.MacLean, but it won't be my last. Although I found one or two diary entries out of sequence (at the beginning of each chapter), I put it aside and read it in one day. The characters were well drawn out and although the story's plot was quite "common", it was a good read. Of course, as with this type of book, you always know there will be an HEA by the end of the story.

It's been awhile since I've read anything by Ms. Deveraux, but this book reminded me of why I had previously read her stories. A great plot that carried the characters through the story. Well done!

My review

An "okay" read
This was the first book I've read by Shayla Black and I was not impressed. I was dissappointed in her lack of knowledge regarding BDSM - in this instance, D/s - and was abruptly put off early on in this story by the initial incident between the two main characters. I also found it hard to believe that anyone would allow a perfect stranger to tie them up. The plot - which was weak to say the least - wasn't "thick" enough. It took me over two weeks to read this book. Would I recommend it to friends in the lifestyle? No way! It is obvious the author did some research into the lifestyle, but definitely not enough to write believeable fiction. Until the author knows the intricate workings of the lifestyle, I suggest she stick to writing "kinky sex/erotica" and leave the BDSM community alone.
