SYNOPSIS:
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.
