I read this and [b:Surrender|6052246|Surrender (Bound Hearts, #1)|Lora Leigh|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1230592905s/6052246.jpg|6228039] in the book: [b:Surrender To Fire|6640958|Surrender To Fire|Lora Leigh|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275684179s/6640958.jpg|6835421].

Let's just say I'm glad I borrowed it from a friend instead of paying for it. I'll also say on that friend's behalf that they gave the book to me to have 'a good laugh at' rather than as a recommendation. And yet again, [a:Lora Leigh|2614|Lora Leigh|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1211464290p2/2614.jpg] has amazed me with her ability to write another load of offensive trash.

Woah, wait, don't get me wrong, I didn't find it offensive because of the BDSM element show more including female submission and patronising "sweet little virgin ass" talk - no, it wasn't even that which annoyed me. It's the way [a:Lora Leigh|2614|Lora Leigh|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1211464290p2/2614.jpg] could ever possibly imagine that pointless sex, virgins who develop an instant need for pain and anal play, and men who use a string of words like f**k, c**t, p***y and c**k in every sentence... could be a) believable, b) taken seriously or c) hot.

[a:Lora Leigh|2614|Lora Leigh|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1211464290p2/2614.jpg]'s novels are like an episode of 'Living with Tourette's'. Ladies, honestly, would you think it was hot if your boyfriend was talking about your c**t every time he opened his mouth. The language is not sexy but cringe-worthy. I'm no prude but I still think that c**t should be used sparingly, what exactly does it contribute to the novel by repeating it constantly? Nothing.

And as for the virgin thing, well, Lora likes virgin heroines and she obviously likes to corrupt them. Fine, whatever. But it's so unbelievable you could laugh out loud! I get that this is fiction but if you can't imagine the scenario happening then it becomes tedious. This is erotica, it's supposed to be sexy and it's supposed to be erotic (it says so on the tin, right?), so why do I get the urge to barf during this story that has no story? Maybe it's because the shy, whimpering little virgin heroines always end up begging for a bit of backdoor lovin'. Oh LOL, what on earth? How many of you female members had sex for the first time and thought "wow, now I can't wait to get it up the back way"?

I stand by what I said about [b:Wild Card|2721318|Wild Card (Elite Ops, #1)|Lora Leigh|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1219534638s/2721318.jpg|2746915] because I honestly enjoyed that novel, I liked the characters, I liked the story and the sex stayed on the right side of that line between kinky and icky. I think that's why I keep waiting for [a:Lora Leigh|2614|Lora Leigh|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1211464290p2/2614.jpg] to deliver what I enjoyed from that book... it's yet to happen. At least I didn't set out to be amazed by this. show less
