FORBIDDEN DESIRES by Jodie Griffen

Forbidden DesiresForbidden Desires by Jodie Griffin
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

This was another NetGalley free book.

Unfortunately, I didn't like this one either. The story just didn't go anywhere. Bella is a young woman who, I guess is a Librarian, who meets up with three elderly women at a senior living facility, regularly to play cards and take them to lunch or dinner. There's no real explanation as to why (i.e. is this volunteer work, did she know someone who had been at the home, therefore she continues to visit... nothing).

Once Bella meets Marcus, they go through this back and forth of him not knowing what he wants and why, which makes no sense as he ultimately takes her to a BDSM Bed & Breakfast run by a friend of his, who he later says has explained to him what he is.

So, why he's so confused and hasn't explored any of it until Bella makes no sense to me. Also the fact that he ends the story as a Dominate who may be willing to submit at times, and she a submissive is wonky to me.

Bella doesn't like being told what to do, yet because she's in a relationship where she loves the person, it doesn't bother her anymore? It's just confusing and not interseting enough to find out why she all of a sudden changes her tune. And after all the, we shouldn't see each other/I can't get you out of my mind and continuing to call her, from Marcus, Bella is in love with this guy. I have no idea why.
The story is just all over the place and I didn't get it.

Again, I hate giving bad reviews, but in this case I have to.
