Wall-to-wall bonkfest totally overwhelms plot!

In the aftermath of the violent attack by his unhinged ex, Keith must renegotiate his nascent relationship with BDSM couple Justin and Micah. Having walked away from them once, can they trust Keith and open up their relationship to include him again? I’ve been trying to pinpoint what I find lacking in this series and this book makes it clear. After such a terrible incident, people would normally do a lot of checking in with each other, talking things through, attending police and lawyer interviews in prep for the upcoming trial. Instead they bonk, sort out their BSDM hierarchy, and bonk some more. Leaving aside the likely PTSD after such attacks, would Keith’s sex drive really be the dominant thing to focus on? It just doesn’t feel real. This book, even more than the others, is a series of sex scenes with one or two plot sentences bookending them. When there is actual plot movement, it’s gripping and well-written, so why not create more balance? The other thing that irks is that each book in the series provides spoilers about the next book. I get that this links and creates momentum across the series, but it also undermines the surprise of the next book. Under the pseudonym ZA Martin, the audio narrator delivers his always excellent performance.
