KellyElly · 21/06/2012 14:21

QueenElizaBeatHer · 21/06/2012 14:22

Yabu! Read proper porn!

I got this on my kindle while on holiday. It is crap. I haven't even got to the erotic parts yet.

So far it reads like a teenage girl has written it.

knowitallstrikesagain · 21/06/2012 14:24

Mike, apparently the erotic parts also sound like a teenage girl has written them...

It's shit. And there's too much sex in it (not something I have ever before complained about in my life). And the sex is shit, the characters are shit, the writing is shit and the plot is shit.

I did, however, read all three. So make of that what you will.

MrsHelsBels74 · 21/06/2012 15:26

It's shit including the sex.

Was in the supermarket. Picked it up - opened random page, & first words i saw were ''Oh my'' - er, right.. oh my WHAT - no-one in RL ever says 'oh my' do they?

Oh my God, Oh my goodness, oh my days, oh my life etc etc. but 'Oh my' with 'my' in italics??

Couldn't be doing with that crap.
Put it back.

It's total crapola but I read all three.
Oh my!
God he looks so hot.
I peeked up at him through my lashes.
I hadn't realised I was biting my lip.
Holy crap!
I felt the blush creep over my cheeks.
He reached forward and tucked the stray hair back behind my ear.
Oh my poor Fifty.

I think Anastasia is supposed to be bookish and clever. She is not. She is an idiot.

swooosh · 21/06/2012 16:58

She spends an awful lot of time biting her lip and blushing.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 21/06/2012 17:03

Am halfway through it and agree its shit, only reading it because I downloaded it for free on my kindle and I have a thing about reading a book till the end no matter how crap it is

Envy Mine was delivered whilst out today and I have to take a slip to the sorting office tomorrow to collect.

YANBU Grin

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 21/06/2012 17:07

Is it making you hot under the collar? A school Mum said that her husband was reaping the benefits as she felt so frisky from reading it Smile

So I am hoping it is good, although some of these comments are a bit worrying on here. Do I need a refund from Amazon? Wink

I've just been invited to join a book group and that is the book,haven't got far he's just bought cable and rope from a DIY store- I'm guessing S and M ?

Dotty342kids · 21/06/2012 17:12

I think I'm starting to repeat myself on threads about these books but for what it's worth I've read all three in the space of a week!
I normally read well written modern classics or good quality fiction but thought I'd see what all the fuss was about.
This is neither a classic nor good quality but what it is is mindless, uncomplicated fluff, and there's a place for that too!
The sex is mildly erotic in the first book but by book three you really will be thinking "more sex, more orgasms....... yawn".
I enjoyed them all and am glad I've read them as it drives me mad when "everyone" is talking about a book and I've not read it but don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed!

McPie · 21/06/2012 17:14

YABU its crap and I read all 3 of them! She is annoying and he is as messed up as they come, not one of the sex scenes got me in a fluster as they were all so blah compared to other books I have read.
