When does your book "get good"?

or How far would you let your mom read?

I was able to let my mom read the first chapter of Courting Her, believe it or not. The book is set up with Alex so enamored with Kimberly he doesn’t notice her subtle gain of control. By the time he puts his feet up on his coffee table in chapter two, after a dinner he prepares her in his home, it’s way too late for him. He’s a goner. ; )

Anyone who knows about female domination would pick up on it, and I think it builds to a nice payoff for people who stick around. But it is subtle enough that I got away with sharing it, even with my mom. The bad part is that the free read on amazon leads basically right up to just before Alex’s first punishment. Which would be annoying if you were debating buying it.

How long for your book? Or how long do you give a book you’re reading to “get good”? It’s a tough call to make because a sex scene needs a good build up, but you also want to start your readers off with a bang (that was intentional, sorry).
