It became painfully clear to me about halfway through the second book that I was only reading it for the smut! <br /><br />If you want to read something just as naughty but slightly better written, you could try the Bared to You Series by Sylvia Day.

And like the above commenter, I read the second one because I couldn't stand not knowing what happened. With the third book I read the first chapter and the last two chapters. It's a terrible, terrible book. I was so ashamed that I couldn't stop reading.

It wasn't censorship. Nope, none of that. Just because it was reviewed poorly. If you read every book in our library, you won't find any clunkers because apparently we only buy books with stellar reviews. Anywho....<br />I bought it from Target and of course the writing sucks, but it was compelling enough to finish. I slogged through the next two just because I can't stand not knowing how the story ends, but by the third one I was skimming every sex scene to get to the blasted end. At first, it's titillating..but after reading about days and days of doing the dirty upwards of seven times a day (yeah, right...not even in my youth when I wasn't exhausted by kids)...it just started to read like blah blah blah stroked blah blah blah on the precipice blah blah stung blah blah...but I digress. I had to read it to see what all the fuss was about too. And because I was super annoyed that the library refuses to buy it.

I got sucked into the "Twilight " saga this way. The writing was so bad, but I just couldn't stop! My friend says the pages are laced with crack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
