This was a tremendously fun read. Finished this in one setting because it was just too much fun to quit.

I liked that the author(s) went outside the usual bag of tricks for this erotic romance by having a hero getting his jollies through role-playing. What didn't work so well for me was the conflict, which was pretty light in the pants. I liked both hero and heroine, I just didn't really feel the urgency to their story. The hero is hung-up on his particular kink, which didn't seem that big a deal to me - especially considering that the heroine was an enthusiastic participant. But the banter was good and the vibe of the story was fun. In a sub genre that is loaded with angst (at this moment in time) - it's nice to have these little reminders that erotic romance CAN be fun. It didn't rock my socks, but it was a pleasant way to kill some time.

This was a group read or I might not have picked it. But it was enjoyable.
I had a hard time seeing Ryan's penchant for role playing as deviant. He thought it was the worst thing ever, but I suppose that was mostly because of his ex-fiancee who broke up with him when she realized he enjoyed that. I'm not even saying he liked dressing up as a woman or anything... he just enjoyed dressing the part and getting into character with the other person. His ex-fiancee thought it was horrible enough to throw away their entire relationship. Pretty harsh.
So Ryan is eating at a local steakhouse with two of his friends and their waitress is wearing stockings with a seam up the back. Ryan likey. And ends up talking Cass into going out with him. And what a night they have! Gambling on the Strip, then a visit to a sex toy shop where they have sex in the dressing room, then French maid/Air Force major sex in a hotel. And Cass truly got into her characters, which totally stoked Ryan. Until he'd realize how deviant it was and would shut down.
So Ryan and Cass's relationship continues building, but with very little role playing, which sort of bothers Cass. So she finds ways to insert it into their relationship. And Ryan wholeheartedly goes along with it until he shuts down again.
Ultimately, his resistance to this integral part of himself blows up in his face. The story does end in an HEA, but you wonder what feat Ryan will have to perform to get Cass to talk to him again. Turns out not much, which didn't feel natural to me. Seems like he'd have needed to grovel a bit more for Cass to pay attention, much less trust him again. But she did.
Anyway, we saw enough of his two friends that I wonder what will happen in their stories, so I may need to continue the series.

Great erotica scenes, a little light on the character development. The characters were a bit predictable.

DNFed around 20%. I just couldn’t take more of the major’s self flagellation over his non-kinky kink. When the contents of the bag from the sex shop are revealed, I couldn’t have been more bored.

This is a contemporary erotic romance featuring military romance and erotica in the form of roleplaying in the bedroom. What makes this different from other erotica is the fact that it has a complex plot that makes the reader easily able to connect with the characters. It also deals with the emotions that can be involved in such a lifestyle choice. It was very enjoyable, and I look forward to the other books in the series!

The premise that kept the two primaries apart was thin at best, ridiculous at most. Anyone who thinks that role play fantasies are perverted is not the sort that reads romance novels, so I'm not sure who the audience is. The tension was lacking and the conclusion was weak. The characters were two-dimensional and as fascinating as the setting is in reality, Las Vegas was a bare-bones backdrop in the book. If you are titillated by role-play sex and don't require any real plot or character development... No, even then. There are better books.
