Review: Midsummer Night's Dream

Midsummer Night's Dream by Anya Summers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A little bit different but totally worth it

I loved the use of A Midsummer Night's Dream quotes in front of each Part (Playing on the acts in a play?) of the book. The story of Dean and Sylvie was also structured a bit differently with tragedy striking later in the book, keeping the reader guessing if an HEA was possible. This being said, I did get frustrated that although the love between the two was clear, the stubbornness and refusal to listen to the other had such an impact on their relationship. In this, both were wrong and I am not sure that I believe the redemption of these characters in this case.

As the tragedy struck later in the book, the reader does get treated to great scenes between the 2 early on. (Perhaps another after they got back together would have also pulled the story together better). Do note the disclaimer that this is a BDSM book as I don't think all the scenes will be palatable for everyone. I do love that we got something different in this book that I have not read about often.
