This book sound so terrible, I don't mind reading erotica, but from what I gathered from your review it sounded like a teenager's fantasy.

Did I say that???? :oops:

Okay, true confession: When I was a kid, my best friend lived two doors down, and we spent a lot of time at each other's houses. Well, his father always kept a STACK of nudie magazines in the bathroom cabinet. Somehow I always needed to use the bathroom when I was at his house. :shock:

I don't generally read this genre, so I don't have much to compare it to. But if most of it is like this, I'll stick with my beloved classics.

Sounds to me like you do have some experience with this genre... :shifty:

What a great review! You gave me a good laugh with my coffee this morning. Hopefully, the author takes the comments as constructive criticism.

I almost feel bad for this author! I mean.... someone who really likes this genre might have enjoyed the book a bit better. Maybe?

Maybe. But someone who "enjoys" it may have taken too long to "read" it. ;)

Are you sure you don't want to read it again to see if it gets better with time?

No!!! I actually thought about glancing at it a couple of weeks ago, but then I returned to my sanity.
