"Wicked Play" is a ten-part series about the most exclusive BDSM club in Minneapolis called "The Den." There are three co-owners, Seth, Deklan and Jake, all of whom are Doms, and all of whom have different roles in the club. This story is about Jake and Cali Reynolds, a forty-four year-old divorcee who left a marriage where her husband refused to have sex with her, and who has come to The Den because she feels that she is a submissive in the bedroom if nowhere else.
I am of two minds about this novella. On the one hand, it is scorchingly hot, well-written, if not perfectly edited, and it was fun to read. On the other hand, it is so short that we get very little character development, which is a pity as I think the back stories of the characters would or could be very interesting indeed. Will there be more character exposition in the rest of the series? Since all of the succeeding parts are also short I have to wonder. This is a BDSM book, but this particular part was more BDSM-lite, which appealed to me.
One thing I do not like is the fact that all of the other nine segments have to be purchased separately. In my opinion, this brings the cost of the whole series to that of a hardcover book or even more, and frankly, it makes me feel taken advantage of. I know why authors do this, of course, but it doesn't make it any more palatable. I would like very much to know what is going to happen to Jake and Cali, as well as to Seth and Deklan, but I am going to wait until the box set comes out at a reasonable price.
I am giving this book five stars because for what it is it is excellent. I wish it had been longer, and richer, because I would have liked more of everything, but within its limits it delivers what it promised.
I received an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley for my honest opinion.
