Driftwood Deeds by Laila Blake

1/20/2014

Comments

 

SYNOPSIS:

Picture
When journalist Iris Ellis visits a sleepy seaside town to interview recluse screenwriter Paul Archer, he offers her insights into never acted upon fantasies of dominance and submission. Too curious to deny herself a taste of them, Iris gives herself up to Paul's gentle guidance, but when she realizes that a taste can never be enough, she must find the courage to ask for what she needs or risk losing it all.

REVIEWS:

     Since I have never read anything by Laila Blake before, I was excited to read Driftwood Deeds and discover a new author.  I have to say that I enjoyed Laila Blake’s descriptive style of writing. Her characters are more natural and “true to life” based. It was a nice change from the  “beyond beautiful” characters that I always read about.  Don’t get me wrong, Paul and Iris are pretty, just not all rock hard, perfect body, pretty. Paul and Iris’s beauty was described as real and uncluttered.  

    I really liked Paul. I mean, I really liked him.  Watching him through Iris’s point of view was a fun experience.  He was engulfed in character traits that I found attractive. Their communication with each other was comforting.

    The story was good but was a little choppy in the beginning and first few chapters.    Also, a significant moment in the story line is based around a movie and although I understood the reference, if you have not seen the movie, one would be lost.   The movie reference needed to be explained a little more for anyone that had not seen it. Also, the pet references were justified but a little extreme for my tastes.

   Driftwood Deeds was a fast and enjoyable read. In the short time with Paul and Iris, I felt connected. Being erotica fiction, the sex was hot but based on a consensual BDSM relationship. The novella left no cliff hangers and was a complete standalone story. I look forward to reading more from Laila Blake.


DRIFTWOOD DEEDS gets 3 out of 5 Platypires. Texas Hugs and Happy Reading!!!

    Hi, I'm Mel and I am a book addict. I love a really good steamy book with a great story. I am the slut of the group and read as much romance as I can get my hands on.
