In “Bounce Down,” heroine Suzie Price answers the call for a dom/sub relationship. While she enters the bargain with a degree of curiosity and trepidation, she quickly begins to develop stronger feelings for Brendon, her partner. Along the way, she experiences not only the highs and lows of this unusual agreement and must ward off the well-meaning but intrusive inquiries of her friends, including a cadre of male friends at the police station in which she works.
Possessing an XY chromosome pair—and having never read fiction of this sort—I wasn’t sure how this book would suit me. But I was pleasantly surprised! And no, not so much because of the erotic scenes (where were tantalizing, to be sure), but because the focus remains squarely on the most interesting aspect of the heroine’s journey: the evolution of her feelings for Brendon. What could have been an endless series of trysts instead describes an emotional passage, and the physical scenes serve to mark her emotional progress. To me, the arc of her sexual progression would have been far less interesting without the deeper personal bond Suzie forms and desires in return from Brendon. As deepening feelings by both partners lead to compromises, the reader is left wondering what will happen in the sequels.
If you’re interested in a book that appeals equally to passionate and emotional bonding, “Bounce Down” may be just the book for you.
