Elaine Barris

“Master for Tonight” is a very well written novel technically speaking. If there were any errors, I didn’t see them. The narrative flowed well and the story moved at a fairly brisk pace. For a first novel, Barris gives us a work written with an expert hand that an author writing for years would hesitate to rival.

Barris does offer some twists out of the ordinary. Readers looking for action or heat will be satisfied. Julian and Kate are not assured a happy ending. There is a seriously powerful and somewhat crazy maker between them and she’s not even going to begin to buy Julian’s flip explanation of a fly by night fling. Barris convincingly writes the character as off-balance and one that could simply do anything. The suspense at points is delicious. The erotica was not so much for me. Kate has fantasies of being dominated and controlled with which I cannot identify but given the popularity of certain former fan-fiction blockbusters seems like an idea that is quite popular. If that sort of domination floats your boat, you cannot go wrong with “Master for Tonight.”… (altro)
