Ok.

This was one of the books picked for me as part of a challenge, and after reading some of the reviews, I decided to go ahead with this one. Now I am not normally a reader/fan of pure erotica, or erotica in general. But what the heck, I've read a couple of erotic romances that weren't terrible, so how bad could this one be, right?

Wrong.

It was bad. Horrendously bad. The writing is, like other people have said, insanely juvenile; it is also atrocious. There was no plot, no nothing: it just flitted on to one idiotically improbable situation after another. I didn't even get the erotic part of it - my mind's eye just could not see any of these scenarios at all. So I was stuck reading a book that was just bad. Painfully bad

In what universe do most people consider
"Beauty could see his scrotum between his legs, dark, hairy and mysterious"

a. good writing
b. erotic in any way, shape, or form?

The mind boggles, I tell ya.

I spent the book in horrified snorts. Spankings abound. Why, I don't know and I can't tell. Nakedness abounds, to what end, I don't know. Every single character is stupid beyond comprehension, especially Beauty. And oh, yes, did I mention there was absolutely no plot?

I know I complain quite often abut books being written badly, but this is truly one of the worst I've come across.

I can never recover the brain cells nor the time I lost reading this book.

But I can't say I wasn't warned. Dina's review alone shoulda steered me clear.
