Very much not a fan but I should have known that getting an accurate portrayal of BDSM was asking a lot.

Fifty Shades Of Pink by Jourdyn Kelly is a erotica and LGBTQIA read.
BDSM was never my scene. I've always thought I was too strong to be dominated. Authority and I never did get along. So, when I was dragged to a special kind of club for my best friend's bachelorette party the last thing I expected to do was surrender myself completely.

I wasn't going to participate. Then I was summoned to the "Pink Room". Her room. As I watched her walk away from me, I realized I had no choice but to follow.

I was already hooked.

She demanded I call her Mistress.

I demanded she take off her mask.

We were both changed that night.
This was a really good read with good characters. This was a just one more page read. Could not put this down. 5*. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book from netgalley.

What was I thinking?!

I don’t know why I thought something with a title having a play at Fifty Shades of Grey could be not as bad as Fifty Shades of Grey.

So, I have never read said popular wannabe bdsm novel – only parts of it and that was way enough. But I’m not here to talk about that book, I wanna review Fifty Shades of Pink.

First thing that bothered me were the special, special eyes of both MCs. I can kinda accept those things if they are in a fantasy setting – but even then I’m annoyed if they are told again and again. But in contemporary? Nope. Thank you, but no.

I could have ignored it if not for the other things. The narrating MC has no knowledge of bdsm, but knows for sure she doesn’t like giving or receiving pain. It’s just not her cup of tea. There is way more to bdsm but let’s leave it at that. Her best friend is getting married and they party at a bdsm club for her last night of not being a wife.Soon she is gone and the MC is alone.

Until a woman sets her eyes on her and she is summoned to the so-called Mistress. Enter a jump right into a bdsm scene. Well, not right into, the MC is allowed to have a safeword at least. But there is absolutely NO negotiation, no talking about which things are okay and which absolutely not. You simply choose a newbie, tie her up and have a go at her with a whip (and who knows what else, since I stopped reading there).

I don’t know if it’s going to get better but since this is a novella, there aren’t really a lot of pages to do so.

If you’re asking me, there are better bdsm books out there.
