LOL - how come I always end up with these book?
(for better and for worse!)
The hotness rating is 5 stars, but the rest is 2 minus.
REDEEMING FACTOR:
I don't know why, please tell my body to stop, but these books make me... (what's that overused word again?) hot. The story was a somewhat interesting, but overall kind of annoying.
THE REST:
Unconvincing story line (of course, as always).
I didn't like our female lead, a total wuss.
And the male lead?
well, OH MY GOD, it's the same male character staring in all erotic BDSM (aka 50 Shades)!
A rich, well dressed, inhumanly hot, dark, company owning control freak, who gets a sexual kick by privately exerting punishments/control. Oh, and he's absolutely brilliant in bed as well.
EVERY. SINGLE freaking TIME.
RANT
How great is that?
Like banging my head against the wall. How else would the damsel fall for such an "awesome" jerk? (just my opinion; Try to think if he was an actual person!!)
Q: Well miss Hard to Please, why did you read them then?
A: Even when I was thinking "you gotta be essing me, 'cause mo'fer better be running if he be beating on me!" I was fanning my self, this is so hot!!
Now my thoughts are turning: Perhaps I don't actively like the themes, but because I like control (aka decide everything) and struggle to relax & let go, I subconsciously want the loss of control exhibited in these books. Hmmm, might be, but even so damn you personal Freud, I can't change who I am!
