COME MONDAY by Mari Carr.STORY BRIEF:Keira's mother died when she was in high school. She took over the mothering duties for her six younger siblings. She also works in the family business - a pub and restaurant. Nine years later she begins doing something for herself - attending college part time. Her current professor is Will. When the course is over, he starts dating Keira. He spanks her on their first date because she opened her own car door. Each time they are together he does things that make her uncomfortable or cause pain. The result increases her delayed sexual pleasure.REVIEWER'S OPINION:There is one scene where he stimulates her for probably over an hour while he feeds her dinner. He tells her that if she does not come he will reward her with normal sex later, which she desperately wants. That scene of her trying not to come was painful for me to read. For some reason this was more bothersome to me than most other bondage/pain stories. There are some long sex scenes. There is rear door activity and sex toys. Most of the scenes are he doing things to her and watching her discomfort. That didn't work well for me.CAUTION SPOILER ABOUT THE REASON FOR A BREAKUP:Plot wise, we have a breakup, which is typical for romance stories. I didn't care for the reason. All of a sudden she feels that she's spending too much time with her new lover instead of being available 100% of the time for her family. She is worried about her father's blood pressure. She also learns that her youngest sibling Sean (18 years old) had a fight at school. She feels she should have been around more for him. But then the author never tells us what the fight was about. It was sort of an empty conflict. Mari lies to Will and says his type of sex is not for her when the truth is she feels guilty about her family needing her. It was not a satisfying conflict or resolution - even though she does end up with Will in the end.DATA:Ebook story length: 2 hours. Kindle count story length: 2651.
