The Empress' New Clothes by Jaid Black

I finished this today. It sat in my TBR for a long time, as my anticipation built. Unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. It just seemed so average. I love Jaid Black and own the rest of the series so I will read it, but if the rest are like this one, they won't make it to my keeper shelf. Some of the other books written by Ms. Black can really push my buttons in all the right ways! This story had some humor and lots of sex (m/f, f/f) but the conflict between the characters wasn't too convincing, and the conflict from outside sources came very late in the story, and there was a lot of "telling" vs "showing" throughout. Too bad. Hopefully the rest of the series is better!
