The Girl In 411: An erotic BDSM romance by Amber Skye
5.0
True rating: 4.5 stars
Why I picked up this book:
One of the challenges I’ve given myself over the next year is to read more books on the vast diversity and styles of relationships heroes and heroines can have. With this story I decided to jump in feet first to a heroine/heroine romance. The sex is dirty and the romance is sweet, plus it gave me a chance to catch up with a new author.
This review may contain spoilers.
What I loved:
From the first page in this story, I fell in love with Jennifer’s relationship to the elderly woman she cared for. It rang of a Skeleton Key vibe, but with an old southern charm that didn’t end up in murder. While this piece to the overall tale is more backstory and what influenced Jennifer, it’s still a tale I’d love to see break out from this one into its own novella or short story.
The balcony portrait was probably my other favorite thing in this tale. From the moment Jennifer found it, the tale wove in a beauty and depth I couldn’t shake. But the twist at the end was perfect. Beautiful. I absolutely loved it and the impact really spread through both characters, and me as a reader.
Areas needing a touch of refinement:
The only thing that really bugged me was events surrounding the cat. Jennifer is a smart character, so for her to not really catch onto what’s happening with her door felt a bit out of place. I feel like the first time, yes… accident. By the second time she should have already been digesting the idea of an intruder and snooping a bit more.
Overall:
This book was a strong, enjoyable read. The pacing was beautiful, and the love story had a depth that went far beyond the sex. I’d definitely recommend it for any reader who is curious about or comfortable with some dirty BDSM sex between two girls that turns into a sweet, endearing romance. I definitely look forward to picking up other books from this author in the future.
