Duplicity by Mercedes JadeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Slight Let Down
I’d probably give this book 3.5 ⭐️ if I could.
I’m not sure how I feel about this second book in the Victory Lap Duet. It seemed to take a long time to resolve the danger that Tess and her siblings were in and quite a lot of the resolution was under-explained.
The four friends and Tess are now in a committed poly relationship. Things are becoming more dangerous now Tess’ father is back on the scene, and the Twins Dad and Bastion’s Dad and step-mother are causing problems. War takes them all to stay on his Dad’s island for a weekend and his parents seem to be much more supportive.
It takes an awful long time for everything to get sorted out and most of that is taken up by sex. Lot of gratuitous teenage sex. If this bothers you, don’t read this book. I have to say that I’m old enough to feel slightly uncomfortable at teenagers discussing kink and having safewords, mainly because when I was a teenager being kinky meant doing it with the lights on. I don’t have a problem with teenagers being in a poly relationship but to be accomplished sexual practitioners before the age of 25 still seems unlikely to me. Maybe I’m just out of date, and the internet has made all teenagers advanced masters of kink. Anyway, it just spoiled my enjoyment of the book a little bit. It’s a shame because the story had lots of promise.
