3.5 STARS
I love Rachel Robinson's writing, she does the feels and angst so well and the blurb for this one had me intrigued! Alas, it wasn't all that I'd hoped. And I really wanted to like this more but I had a hard time connecting with the MCs.
Kayla Parchet was strong, smart and independent. Her innate nature just didn't work well for a submissive. It's not that submissives are weak but rather they want to surrender. Kayla's just not that type of girl. She's all about control. So why enter the Dom Games? For the money for her Harvard education. Can't hold that against the woman and I don't.
She's one of 10 submissives vying for the top spot as the Dom's submissive for life. The Dom for this season's games is none other than the creator and producer of the show, Dominic Reed.
Of course, Kayla begins to have feelings for Dominic, and he for her. This is where I couldn't make that leap. They certainly had chemistry but I just didn't feel the love connection. And Dominic just didn't work as an Alpha or a Dom for me. He was a contradiction of sorts...I won't give it away but this was not a pill that I could easily swallow.
Overall, the plot was an original twist on the ever popular relationship reality TV shows and it's well written with some serious sex scenes, drama, jealousy and angst.

Awesome review, doll! The premise for this sounds great, but too bad about the lack of connection. If I can't connect with the characters, I can't enjoy the story all that much either. But, I'm glad there were parts you enjoyed! :D xoxox

Yeah, the lack of connection for me was tricky but overall there were some good parts that made up for it. xo
