Jennifer answers “This book sounds SO similar to FIFTY...”

Betsy Hetzel asked this question about Consequences (Consequences, #1):

This book sounds SO similar to FIFTY SHADES of GREY, is it ? Or, do you feel that there is a significant difference between the two? It sounds intriguing and I'd like to suggest it for a group BOTM but.... I'm hesitant. What are your thoughts? Thanks for your help!

Both of these books have the idiot woman who is so dazzled by money and amazing sex, both women are verbally, mentally and physically abused and think that they are loved (Stockholm Syndrome, anyone?).

The biggest difference between these two women is Ana made a conscience decision to enter into this kind of relationship and initially Claire was forced.

The sex scenes are not nearly as often or as graphic as FSOG. Overall, I enjoyed Consequences way more and thought the end was brilliant. (less)
