Finished now. A little confused why some people have shelved this as "menage," but I think it must be because some side characters are in a poly relationship. All the sex scenes in this book are between the hero and heroine only.

Still confused why the cover copy describes the hero as a "bad boy." I guess it's because he has a partying, womanizing past since his actions during the book itself did not scream "bad boy." Unless just being a rock star with tattoos qualifies.

Closer to the end of the book now. On the plus side, I like that the heroine is more assertive than you usually see in erotic romance. I also like that there are some hot non-penetrative scenes, because sex is more than just PIV intercourse. On the minus side, while she is assertive and active during sex, the hero is still dominant. She never gets to be totally in control, which is kind of a disappointment.

No page numbers, but I'm on chapter 3. So far, so good. First sexytimes have arrived and she is quite assertive. But Jesus, it seems like every erotic romance has unsolicited anal. Isn't it polite to at least *ask* first? It's the heroine doing it to the hero this time, not the other way around, but I'm not one for double standards. Since when did it become acceptable to try that without getting any kind of go-ahead?

Ok, been trying to find erotic romances with heroines that are a bit more active instead of passive in bed, and I had someone recommend me Lauren Dane. Description sounds promising, so we’ll see.
