Set in the Atlanta area this BDSM story is about Ramesses (AKA Kane) and his wife Neferterri (AKA Mercedes) and their life as a Dom and Domme with their 3 submissives. I had to DNF this story at 40% because there really wasn’t anything going on except lots of sex with various people. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I was expecting more of a story from the blurb. The characters have zero depth and yet their emotions seemed totally out of whack most of the time, going from calm to batshit crazy in .30 seconds and back again. The dialogue is stilted, the timeline is wonky, and there are no transitions between chapters. I couldn’t get any kind of grasp on when this story was taking place. In addition, the author broke the fourth wall and then went back to the story as if nothing happened. Was this supposed to be a memoir? Or is it a fictional story? I have no clue. Also, Ramesses comes across as an arrogant asshole, talking down as if the reader is a drooling moron who knows nothing about the BDSM community and he’s oh so superior because he’s a Dom. I have no idea if that’s what the author intended, but that’s the vibe I got, so I ended up really disliking Ramesses. At 40%, after a dumb scene outside a club, I had to toss in the white towel in exasperation and call it quits. Pleasure Versus Pain "The Awakening" centers around Lord Ramesses (Kane) and his wife, Lady Neferterri (Mercedes) and their alternative sexual lifestyle. Mix in jealousy, betrayal, and sex, and you are in for a treat. It will leave you believing the old saying... things aren't always what they appear to be. "Chronicles of the Nubian Underground:The Awakening" introduces its readers to the underground world of Atlanta's BDSM Community. For those who are unfamiliar, BDSM is an erotic practice and expression involving the consensual use of restraints, intense sensory stimulation, and fantasy role play. I enjoyed reading this book, but there were times I felt the author was too wordy, which caused me to lose my train of thought in some parts of the book. I believe if you read this selection with an open mind you will enjoy the ride this book will take you on. Overall, I wouldn't mind reading another selection from this author.

Life seems well within the 'Nubian Underworld' of Atlanta, as Ramesses, his wife, Neferterri, and their submissives are at the centre of what can only be described as 'paradise' by those who have seen the debauchery within. But all hell breaks loose when Ramesses and Neferterri begin losing their submissives, and Ramesses' mentor, Amenhotep, gets caught up in a sting operation that makes the local news and threatens to blow the lid off of the Atlanta Fetish community that thrives on anonymity.
