4 Strong Smut Scale Stars

I've been on a bit of a smut kick this week for some reason.

Don't ask me why, there is never any reason to my rhyme...but I love this shit.

description

But anyway, as I said, I fucking loved this one.

It was all OTT possessive alpha male, his little "Baby Girl" and a quest for some fucking vengeance.

RAWR.

description

This shit was HOTTTTT.

description


Shoot, there was even a pretty fucking solid story line!

The writing in this thing was SO atrocious it made my inner proofreader heart bleed out like a crash victim with a slice to the aorta.

For serious though people, this thing read like a crappy KeSha song.

Or more simply put:


description

Seriously though, this thing needed an editor, STAT.

There were run-on sentences that acted as one long paragraph when there should have been five separate sentences...incorrect homonyms...and other numerous grammatical errors that pervaded the book to the point that I wanted to gouge my eyes out at times.

And that doesn't even include your basic run of the mill typos.

Not to be a bitch, but...

#BitchAlert

That said, obviously I was able to overcome and enjoy - which in my book is a testament to Jordan Silver's everything-other-than-grammar-magnetism.

I will definitely be reading more from Silver in the future...I'll just be sure to take some Excedrin Migraine and down a bottle of Cabernet first.

4 WTF WAS THAT STARS

"Do you know how much you're loved little one?"
"All I have, all I am is yours, always. I'll never let anyone harm you again, never."


For me, This Book I was NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN as I had read the first preview .5 book and It was my first DNF.
I did finish it after a while but....
It was BAD! I mean rape bad!

However, then I remembered that with Ms. silver everything is never what it seems.
I saw it on KU and said "Why not!?"
My curiosity knows no bounds it seems.

description

So this story is a complete WTF COMBINED WITH SOME HOLY SH*T!
I didn't see the twist coming at all in this book!
Just when I thought I had it all figured out... curve ball!
I didn't know what to expect at one point.
I just holding on for dear life!
HOPING I wouldn't die before this ride was finished!
Cause HOLY GOODNESS GRACIOUS WAS IT MESSED UP!

description

The hero, seemed to be such a cold and unfeeling SOB at first, I was thinking, I can't even like him. So why am I even reading this book?
But I knew he was plotting something, I just didn't know what.
He was all set to marry the heroine's sister but he was having sex (and I'm talking very dirty DADDY KINKY SEX HERE) with this sweet little innocent girl, the heroine
The hero describes her as
She wasn't like anyone else I knew though. She was genuinely sweet, naive and damn near innocent.
And he was anything but any of those things.

I was thinking, where is he going with this?

description

Then, It became very clear to me during their rehearsal dinner what was going on!
And I was screaming Take that bitches!
Yes I LOVE A GOOD REVENGE STORY!
I'm sick, I know!


description

The hero ,wasn't someone I would EVER want to mess with. And her f*cked up family was on his hit list for their disgusting behavior towards the heroine.
Her whole life until this point, had been spent trying to please her uncaring family who had only sought to use her and do her harm.
The hero wasn't going to let that go unpunished.

description

To him, she was everything!
He thought,
How did I ever get so fucking lucky to find such a treasure? ...I'm not sure I deserved her but what the fuck, I'm keeping her.

She was his babygirl and he was going to do what it took to make her feel loved and protected!

description

Now, I'm done giving this story away in this review. You really should read this book and discover it for yourself. It was worth it for me.

However, I must warn potential readers of some of the content. There are many elements of BDSM, daddy kink, bareback and anal sex, some breath restriction (light), dubious consent, and some "technical" cheating.
As he cheats on his fiancé with the heroine and the fiancé has a ménage relationship her friends.
HE DOES NOT SLEEP WITH THE SISTER AFTER HE IS WITH THE HEROINE!

If these things bother you PLEASE DON'T READ THIS BOOK.
It's not for you!
However, if you are not bothered by this and if you are brave enough to see what all the WTFERY IS ALL ABOUT then....

This is the 3rd book I've tried by this author and they're all bloody awful. I don't know how anyone can compare this to Alexa Riley; the writing is abysmal, the characters aren't likeable, it's way way over the top, the sex scenes are shit and it's all so bloody immature.

Shame on me for not learning after the first book. The problem is the description pulls me in every time. I want them to be good, they just never are. #justmyopinion

Reading a 13 pages long novella whilst laughing was one thing.

Reading almost 150… just NO.

Please dear author, have your work revised, the editing was awful, which in no way helped to like the story more (it was a lost cause anyway).

Great escape.🏃
This book gave me the right amount of smut dose, that I need right now.
 
These days, I've been stuck with a lot of mystery, thriller, crime, and suspense books. That absolutely has no smutty romance inside it.
So... is exactly nice to read this novella *awkward laugh*

SUMMARY:
This is the story of Chase and Delia. Delia is Chase's soon-to-be ex-fiance's little sister. One day, Chase realized that his fiance was a bitch because she was having sex with her friend and her friend husband and wanted to be with him because he had money. Then, once Chase knew that Celine (his fiance) was using him, he wanted to seek revenge to her fiance's little sister, but then fell in love with her. That's it.

Not much I can tell, as you can see what kind of book it is. As long as I had fun, it gets 3 stars. In different circumstances, it would be 1 or 2 stars, but now that I'm in the mood, so be it.

The heroine (Celia) is described as veryy naive and submissive person, her parents hate her, and her sister hates her. Then comes our hero(Chase), who gave her attention, and, huh....as you can see, she fell for that and🤰.Then they got married.

You know lah is such classic cinderella's love story but with a lot of unsuitable scenes for Disney movies.

Ahh one thing... our hero is a doctor. When i am reading this, I can't help but wonder what kind of doctor is he?😀.

But, what's a bit interesting for me. The story started with the scene they were having sex (Chase and Delia), so it is quite fast, though it has 20 chapters + 1 epilogue. There's no detailed back story about how they even began. Just sex and she got pregnant (since this book is a sequel, then okay lah, maybe I should go for the first book)

WHAT I LOVED FROM THIS BOOK:
🖤I laughed enough because of Chase's monologue; that's
so hilarious. You need to see it.
🖤 Hmm, the sex scenes, well, they're not that good or not
that bad. just right in the middle.
🖤 Is a short story, perfectly what I need right now
because I cannot afford to read a long-length
"romance" book for now.
🖤For the plot... hahaha, I don't give a fuck; I laughed, I
had fun, and my mind got better. That's all I needed.
🖤But the twist WOAH..... i definitely not expect that.

Personal Overview

Chase finds out that his fiancée, Celine, betrayed him, and is nothing but a viper, so he decides to plot her downfall in intricate detail.
Part of that revenge constitutes seducing and sleeping with her younger sister ( who his very poorly treated and negletted by the family and constantly verbally abused and humiliated by her lovely sister)eve, the barely legal, Delia. They were already attracted to one another, so he just had to manipulate her to his will.
“(...)but never in my life have I ever fucked anything so sweet, including her bitch of a sister.”

What he wasn't counting on, was, along the way falling in love with her.
So on rehearsal dinner he executes his revenge and exposes Celina for what she truly is, in from of everyone she wanted to impress, and Chase whisks Delia away to get married followed by a honeymoon.
It was amazing to see his growing feelings for Delia, it was like he couldn't contain them, he was so happy.
“She was my world, my heart beat, it still amazes me the way we met, how we came to be in each other’s lives, that something so ugly could've brought about the most beautiful thing in my life, and I would be forever thankful for it.”

Looking at her made my chest tight, my heart hurt, my knees almost buckled. Life was so fucking strange, who would've thought that I would find this, out of all that ugliness? How did I ever get so fucking lucky to find such a treasure? It didn't seem real at times like this, when my mind was clear of everything else, and it was just her and I, when I took the time to really think of us, it seems so far fetched that this amazing person was in my life. I'm not sure I deserved her but what the fuck, I'm keeping her.

When they come back, Delia (who is now aware that she was pregnant all along, because he used her naiveté and his doctor status so that she would only know when he wanted - not that she was the least bit bothered by it ;) ), who, for her lovely mother and sister, is the reason for all their problems, becomes a target for them.
Even with Chase's protectiveness full on, she still had to suffer a physical assault from the sister and a verbal lash from her mother, and on top of that, OMG, that MAJOR twist...
Which really messed up with their heads, but fortunately not for long because Celine had the only useful part his the plot revealing the double twist,
Through it all Chase main care was for her and peanut, acting as a shield when needed and showering her with all the love she never had growing up.
I'd started out on the road to revenge and found instead my greatest treasure, something I in no way deserved. Her precious innocence, her sweetness of heart, the way she accepted me, loved me, it blows my mind.

She'd started out as....... revenge I guess, and had become so much more, she was everything, her and peanut. I am going to spoil the hell out of them both, there wasn't anything she'd ever want for first and foremost love, I'll make sure she had that everyday for as long as we lived. For everyday she'd gone without it I'd see she got double.
For all the heartache and misery she'd suffered as a child I would see to it that it was remedied tenfold. I will uncover every dream she's ever had, and if it was at all in my power, see to it that they came true.

I found him to be an amazing hero, his typical Jordan Silver's balance of Love/Obsession was delightful, Delia may have started has part of the revenge, but deep down I think that was only in theory, because you never, not even in the beginning, feel that he was merely using her as a pawn. Like he says multiples times, she was his everything...

Damn, I don’t even know how to rate this one… it’s ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. The writing is bad… the editing is dreadful… but… if you’ve ever lost yourself in…

THIS



OR THIS…



OR THIS…

… you might enjoy a couple hours of craptastic drama-llama.

Bottom Line- The blurb sets it up… it’s a quick, smutty, trashy trainwreck with NOTHING resembling real life or any feels. It’s free to read with KU. Some daddy kink, first encounter had a dub-con feel to it, and JS’s typical raunchy, absurd sexytime.

Okay, I contemplated giving this two stars but just could not do it in all honesty. There were a few enjoyable points, but a few.

What I liked...The other issue that was somewhat enjoyable is that the concept of revenge and retribution is not just discussed but put into play. Characters getting away with rude or cruel behavior is one of my pet peeves. On reflection, I am talking about females characters in more user friendly romances. Okay, yes I am referring to Harlequins. Now this book takes the concept of turning the other cheek on its head, slaps it around then kills it. No, murders it, then tosses it in a shallow grave. It was a A LOT little over the top. Exhaustingly over the top to the point that I began to wonder if the characters really deserved it. They do, but only because they end up being over the top monsters.

What I did not like...

Chase, the hero for lack of a more accurate term, has Delia call him Daddy even during sex. Umm, yuck. Bad enough she is only 17, but "Daddy". No bueno. He calls her babe, but that's not really a problem as that is an easily used euphemism and does not necessarily designate a biological relationship. In addition, the sex scenes are quite clinical. Not romantic, not too exciting just lots and lots of positions at once. Sexual gymnastics at best. Good thing she's 17 and flexible. And stupid. It actually made me a little sad that she ended up with the hero at such a young age. Totally controlled.

I enjoy BDSM books, but the whole concept of giving control to another person whether it is emotional or physical is the individual is mature enough to consciously give it. A 17 year old emotionally abused girl with no support system is hardly in a position to make that choice.

With few exceptions in the book, the heroine is just there being manipulated one way or the other and I mean that literally. I am putting a lot more into this than a one star book deserves, but since it has 412 5 star ratings, which makes me sad, I feel compelled to discuss the issues with this kind of book.

Incorrect use of punctuation and the English language. At least twice, the word barley was used in place of "barely". Makes a difference, I promise.

You want OTT Alpha? That's exactly what you get in this book. I'm familiar with Ms Silver's brand of Alpha, so I kind of knew what to expect going into this story. Which in turn, allowed me to enjoy it. You have to take these books, men, their ways, with a HUGE grain of salt. Once again this was written with no apologies. You take it or leave it.

I don't know what it is, but Ms Silver has the ability to write these completely obnoxious, over bearing males and still give them just enough softness that endears them to you. Cos come on, I know if I ran into someone like Chase we would most definitely NOT be together. But on the page, and the story surrounding him, it just works. I fell in love with Chase's crazy a**. And make no mistake, that's what he is. Crazy. But I loved how he was so sweet, loving, caring, & protective when came to Delia. That's the thing, what starts this story is found in the Novella "His Wants" which leads you here into this book. And while you understand his anger, how he chooses to go about things in the beginning will have you like...

And finally this..

And back again.

All I have to say is Chase is ruthless. If you don't hold some kind of special place in his heart, or you wrong those who do, you better run for the hills. He doesn't play. And the way things played out here, were so brutal at times and just beyond shocking. I was left like..
 photo colbert-jaw-drop_zps9c693482.gif

I liked this one. I was kept on edge. Entertained. Blushing & fanning myself. Angry on Delia's behalf, but pleased with how Chase went about rectifying those wrongs done to her by others.

For the technical aspects this book is in badly need of an editor. For the price of this book, it should be dang near flawless. I can never be alright with any author charging this much for a book, with this many errors in it. That being said I was still engrossed with the story so much, that I could get around this, but I can see how these errors could easily throw someone else & take them out of the flow of the story. Sometimes the same thing happens to me too. But this is what kept this book from being a 5 star read for me.

If you want crazy, sexy, endearing, OTT Alpha Male, with a decent plot to boot; I would recommend this read.

Chase Thornton was out for revenge. Chase had seduced his fiancee's sister, Delia. Unbeknownst to Delia, Chase planned to marry her but first he had to take revenge against her cheating sister. One could claim that Chase was cheating too, but he had not touched his fiancee before he found out what she was really about. He had fallen hook, line and sinker for Delia. However, her family is not going away quietly and Chase is determined to protect her.

I was not sure about this one because I do not like stories where there is cheating. However this was pretty good, I did question Delia's decision in being with chase when he was promised to another. She is young though and Chase was relentless. Checking out next book in series.

"Taking What He Wants"

In the past, I've enjoyed Jordan Silver's writing, especially with Lyon. I bought all three books and I liked Lyon's story enough to buy this book as well. Sadly, I can't say the same thing for this story. For one, Chase comes off as an arrogant, asshole. Yes, I'm probably one of the few but the way he treats Delia, as if her opinion is not important? Well, that bothered me in so many levels. The day Chase decides he MUST sleep with Delia, he just goes to her room and decides to sleep with her? She doesn't want to because he is engaged to her sister! Yes, Celia is a venomous bitch who treats Delia like crap but honestly who does that?
Oh man, where do I start with Delia? She's weak, clingy, horribly submissive, never stands up for herself, she basically let Chase rape her on their first night.
"Please, Daddy" she says to Chase while they're having sex. Umm, what the hell? I'm sorry but I wouldn't call the man I'm sleeping with Dad, Daddy, or any other similar names. That's just creepy in my book.
Here's another disturbing scene between Delia and Chase.
"What's my name Delia?"
"Daddy...ooooohhhh."
"Good girl, whose pussy is this?"
"Yours daddy, only yours ."
"Can you ever tell your daddy no if he wants to fuck?"
"No daddy, it's your pussy, Oooh, whenever.....wherever, however, oh fuck me harder daddy."
*cringing*
The sex isn't even that good. It sounds more painful than enjoyable, even though that's what the author wants us to believe.
Chase. Oh God. Where do I start? Perhaps with saying how mean and abusive he was to Delia. How he didn't care about her opinion or how every time she said something he'd say, "the fuck you care" because that is really romantic. He practically takes advantage of Delia by first sleeping with her then getting her pregnant? Because who cares whether or not she wants to have a baby? Again, Chase just charms his way through the story.
I couldn't finish it, if you want to give it a go, I wouldn't recommend it.

3.5 rounded up to 4 stars

I do love an ott possessive alpha ass hole!

Although, at times, this was even a bit too ott for me!

Look, you are not going to come out of this thinking it is the best book you have ever read!

It is ott and overly dramatic,plot twists and turns aplenty, and needs some serious editing! Wrong words used and missing punctuation or the odd sentence that made little sense!

But, in the same way, as when I was in 6th form, and loved Sunset Beach (yeah, I have no shame!) It is so over the top and dramatic, it can reach almost unprecedented lvls of awesomeness!

You know exactly what you are going to get from Jordan Silver! Over the top alpha man - so over the top, that if you came across a man like this in real life you would have to repeatedly slap him around the face with an oversized trout until he stopped it - overly dramatic plot, a high lvl of sex and hotness and a story that you really do not have to think too hard about!

She does what she does, in a completely unapologetic way and you can tell she probably has great fun writing these books!

On another note though, it does start like you have missed something - and there is a prequel - however, that is £1.99 for 13 pages!!!!!! I borrowed it through Amazon Prime, just to read it, no way would I have paid for it, but the prequel does have the "start" of the relationship as it where.

This is the first book in the Taking What He Wants series by Jordan Silver. Dr. Chase Thornton is counting down the days until he can get his revenge against his fiancée, Celine at their rehearsal dinner. He seduced her little sister, Delia as part of his revenge and the two of them have been going at it like rabbits. He never expected to develop feelings for Delia but she has made her way into his heart. Now he not only wants revenge for what was done to him he also wants it for the way Delia’s family have treated her. He has a videotape of Celine, her maid of honor (Maura), and Dylan (Maura’s husband) plotting to take his money and also engaging in some pretty gross sex acts together. He plays the video at their rehearsal dinner and everyone in her family is there to see it and be embarrassed by it. He leaves the dinner with Delia and his family leaving behind a very angry and disgraced Celine. Delia is confused because she’s falling for Chase but thinks he’s only using her to get back at Celine. Delia’s family have always treated her like shit ever since she can remember and she has no idea why. Chase is determined to make Delia feel loved and cared for and to boost her self esteem that her family has crushed. Can you discover love after lies, betrayal, and deceit ?

2.75 stars!!

I love it but then I hate it. I had a love-hate relationship with this book.

What I love about this book...

The sexcapade scene is awesome. And to be honest that's the only reason why I finish this book and of course I want to know why Delia was being treated that way. So, overall this story have a nice plot and at least we're reading a 'real' story other than reading this book like a porn, kamasutra or something.

What I don't like....

Well, there are a lot of things I would like to point out. First, the age of the main characters are quite blurry. Is Delia in high school or university?

Second, there are too much hatred in this. Not that I would mind tho, but this one is just too much!

Third, I don't like the pet names. Daddy and little baby girl?? blueeekk..

Lastly, if not because of the plot twist, I would have dnfed this. Sometimes it feels like the author is trying too hard to make the hero PERFECT and ALPHA. While actually the hero, is just a man with over obsessed, sex craze maniac with the heroine. I'm not intrigued by the characters at all.

Hence, I gave this below 3 stars if not because of the surprising plot twist I would have given this a 1 star.

I hate that he was with her sister, and about to marry her, it's a thing i usually avoid in all the books BUT i wanted to give it a try and i started to love it because what all started as a revenge plan it end up with him falling for her , being protective of her and caring for her. At least i'm happy she isn't looking like her sister as many other books with similar plots had !!!! they are nothing alike.
The other thing that made me didn't fully enjoy it is that their falling it's kind of OFF page :'(
yes, we can see his love for her etc BUT i wish we could've seen more of it :(
There are way to many sex scenes...i wish they were less and more plot to it.

Just here for the smut. I’ve only read The Good Girl by this author. I reread it recently and was impressed by how it held up; it’s much better than I remember or maybe my standards have changed lol. It had good angst, and I thought the heroine’s paranoia about being replaced along with the mysterious but possessive hero worked.

Anyways! I decided to try out more works from the author. I don’t know if the male POV worked here... I thought he sounded like he was 20 years old, very very young, but he is a doctor and successful in his own right. It was mostly his perspective with 1-2 chapters from her perspective.

There is a plot twist, but I did lose interest about 30% in. The OTT plot wasn’t giving, and the characters weren’t interesting, so it decreased my interest in the smut 😅

2 stars for the smut only...

Someone needs to tell this author that her heroes need to repent for their actions, even if they are OTT crazy over the heroines.

There are so many books of hers I LOVE, but the ones like this which casually brush over the conflict and go straight into OTT alpha action as the ONLY tool to get us to believe the hero loves the heroine... no .

In this book, the H is engaged to h's sister and finds out shit about his fiancé so wants to get revenge and sleeps with the h.

I liked the premise. So the H and h start sleeping together.

What I don't like is how passive the h was about it all. I get she was mistreated, but not only did she accept having sex with him whenever he wants, but she never gave an opinion! He ruled everything. But you know what? This is JS and I love the craziness of the heroes and so I forgive them cause they're obsessed with the heroines.

What I hated is that we get a small paragraph, after the H humiliated his fiancé and takes the h to get married.

I wanted the conversation, the one where she's like "are you doing this for my sister? To avenge her?" And j wanted NEEDED to hear his romantic words to believe how much he loved her and only her.

Instead, we get a short 2-3 lines "i confronted him about it and I got such raw honest emotions I never questioned his love for me again."

Wtf?

Again, in the book savage where she wrote about a cheating hero. 13 years later he comes to get the h and there isn't even a proper conversation.

To the author, I love SO many of your books. But acting OTT alpha and being possessive over the heroines doesn't justify all the heroes asshole actions. Also, when they do something like in this book, for readers to believe their love, we needed that conversation to make us believe it wasn't just a scheme. The OTT actions isn't the only tool that can be used in these books, but conversations. Here, the heroine REALLY should've spoken A LOT to the hero. And as readers we should've been a part of that journey.

I felt cheated... I feel like increasingly the author is coming up with new creative ways to start a book, and that's great!! But if you're doing it differently, the execution must be different.

Cheating heroes, heroes who used you to get revenge on your sister... the consequences and aftermath of such situations will NOT be the same as a hero who merely tries to pull away from the heroine cause she's too young (like her other books).

What the actual fuck did I just read?

This book was so full of the krazysauce that I just have no idea where to start. Chase has been sleeping with Delia, his fiancee's sister, for several months, ever since he found out that said fiancee was planning on cuckolding him, stealing his money, using him, pretty much everything. Upon finding out, instead of breaking it off like a sane person, Chase decides to have revenge in the most OTT way imaginable, which involves a videotape, a golden shower, and the modern-day equivalent of Hester Prynne's public shaming occurs (not that the sister didn't deserve it - chica was an insane evil bitch with no redeeming qualities and every time you think she can't get more ridiculous, she totally does). When the book opens, he and Delia are already in love with each other and the rest is enough sex (including constant hitting of the cervix and his penis entering her womb which.... OOOWWW. Who is telling smut authors that this is hot? Why is this becoming a thing?) to cause a UTI and a case of chafing so astronomical it makes it into medical textbooks. The rest of the book is basically Chase's megavengeance and the continuing discovery of the truth behind why Delia's family has been so horrible to her for, like, ever. Her mother isn't her mother, her sister isn't her sister. Only wait, they both really are and, oh, did we mention Delia's the secret heiress to a fortune that seemingly would make the lifetime income of an oil producing company look wimpy, but of course that doesn't matter to her because all she wants is to be loved? And while we're on the subject of Delia, can we talk about how gallactically naive she is? Chase has been doing his best to breed her and has determined she's having a girl whether she wants to or not before she even realizes that the rhythm method doesn't work and the reason her period is late isn't actually because her body is adjusting to sex. (I'm not joking here. This is what Chase tells her while he's doing her without protection and she believes it.) I will say that the smut was actually pretty hot. The awkwardness of a lot of the dialogue wasn't nearly as prevalent during the sex. Nearly the entire book was told from Chase's perspective, but he was good enough at the dirty talk that it worked.

For all of the ridiculousness, I honestly found myself wondering if Jordan Silver writes Spanish soap operas in her spare time. OTT doesn't begin to cover it all. Everything is so black and white. The villains are flat-out psychotic. And while Chase is presented as a dude who loves Delia so much that he just has to get lasting and lifelong revenge on every single motherfucker who ever looked at her the wrong way, we're supposed to believe that he's ultimately a good guy.

But I actually could have really enjoyed myself with this one if not for the editing. Oh my God, the editing! The best thing this author could ever do is find an editor and at least one beta reader who is not a friend. I cannot stress this enough. This would have been the ultimate guilty pleasure. Not good, but I love me some krazysauce. I don't think this author understands that periods need to be used for more than just ending a paragraph and that commas are great, but they are not substitutes in a pinch for every other punctuation mark out there (and that's when we were lucky enough to get a comma at all). I also don't think a single page went by that didn't contain some sort of grammatical, spelling, or punctuation error. There were honestly bits where every single paragraph on a page had some sort of shoddy editing. This isn't me being a grammar Nazi (God knows I have no room to throw stones from that particular glass house, but then again, I also am not getting money for the things I write); it read like a first draft that had never once been reviewed, and then was run through a spell check without any rhyme or reason (for example, I noticed I did not see words like "diong" where you can tell what it was supposed to be but there was a typo; instead, I'd find the word "dong" or "ding" had replaced it). If Jordan Silver had an editor, he/she needs to fire that person immediately. When I see things like this it makes me feel like the author just doesn't give a shit about their work product.

So honestly, if I took the story by itself, without all the terrible editing, I probably would have given it four stars. It was nuts and even though I am not proud of myself for this, I love me some ridiculous OTT soapy shit. The editing gives it one star. I'm splitting the difference at two.

Let's get this straight... this shit is


I mean- this is exactly what Kanye West's fanfiction for cheesy 80s gangster romance will be like. It's impossible to NOT be impressed by this trainwreck. This is, hands down, the funniest thing that has ever passed as romance.


This guy. I mean come on. Has a foot long dick. Has a 17 year old squeeze who he impregnates. Is a doctor. Owns private island. Runs some CIA-style sting ops on evil ex. Family is some mafia kingpin. Like he kidnaps his evil in laws and then throws them off the windows coz they evil to his li'l airheaded wifey. So good at mind games, so ruthless, SO IRREPLACABLE- that evil ex commits suicide by overdosing on drugs after he tells her he is over her.


And the bimbo is the bimboest to ever bimbo. 17 year old. A nympho. Preggers, but so innocent doesn't realise it. When he says jump, she asks how high. Total doormat with her evil family, and an angel with her mafia in laws. Oh yes, she also discovers she is the heiress to a family who eat Goldman Sachs for breakfast. And even they are semi-mafias.


This is like Steven Seagal of "erotic romance". You can not be not impressed by this.

"I'm not a small man after all, John silver wish he had my dick, just saying."


"The room full of people watched Dylan and Maura f*ck my fiancé in technicolor. The lady like girl who lorded it over everyone else was into golden showers and drinking other people's piss."

"He gave Santino an arched look, that seemed to be all the answer the brother needed as he sat back and took a swig of his drink with a small smirk on his face. "No my brother, but I'm thinking that death might be too easy for them, there are some fates worse than death, much worse...think of it, if we kill them Delia is the only one who will suffer, as the only remaining one left behind to grieve them, they do not deserve her grief, also she'd have to live with knowing that the men of her family had their blood on their hands, another blow. No, I think she's suffered enough, as long as we establish that she will no longer have any dealings with the Fieldings ever again, then we can commence with their...retribution."
I wouldn't want to be on the other end of that sinister smile."

"I gave her at least two hours before she was gone, what else could you expect if you left a druggie in a room with an abundance of her drug of choice after so long drying out in the worst way possible? Not to mention the little nudge I'd just given her to help her on her way.
See I didn't even have to touch her."


Holy batman with godawful editing. Stoners unite!
