50 shades....with some substance

It was definitely cheesy, and mainly centered around sex!!!! But I still read it in a day. Which says something about the characters being charming enough for you not to care! It was like a 50 shades of grey with some substance! Not mind blowing or intellectual but a definite fun easy read, that leaves you feeling.....well let's face it, a little ashamed that you so easily fell into a coma reading about two hotties banging it out for 300 pages!

A hot read with the formula of billionaire with problems meets naive girl who likes to get freaky. If that's what you are in the mood for, enjoy! Recommended for 50 Shades-ish book lovers.

Nothing in the summary description does it mention threesomes or bisexuality, a little heads up would be nice.  I like to know what I'm buying PRIOR to buying a book.  The book is 50% M/F/M; 25% M/F & 25% M/M ... I agree w/another reviewer, it seems although the Walker boys are hot studs, they're also bisexual.

It's a long book but the story didn't drag so the almost 500 pages were a gift w/enough heat to almost melt my Kindle.  There's a harsh scene in the very beginning which sets the tone for some of the story.  Ironically, the H deals w/the action much better than the h.

My major complaint was Zane was almost too good to be true.... no matter what crap V (the heroine) pushed @ him, he still wanted her & understood.  She started off as a strong independent woman but spent much of the story either whiney or pushy..... pushing the H into acts he should have decided upon.  In one case after she pushes him, & he considers a repeat, she accuses him of thinking of cheating on her?!?!

This story follows a widow who misses her "perfect" husband and their hot love life.  In her grief she decides to reenact some of their favorite sex memories.  The character is bringing home handfuls of 18+ year old (preferably virgin's) to provide them with experience that in hopes will make their self esteem soar.

a senior at one of the college's she scopes out catches onto her act, and tricks her just so he can be invited to get home. She then find his "member" is almost a duplicate of her late husbands...she of course breaks down.

I won't give away any more spoilers....it was an alright read, only took a few hours, it didn't make me want to purchase rest of series.

Not really a Dom.  Writer needs to do some more research into this world.  As compared to 50 shades and some of the other reads, this book is very amatuerish.

This book doesn't come up to scratch to the way Fifty Shades of Grey was written...this is truly porn per se; nothing really romanctic

3.5 stars for explicit sex tale
This is very much not my kind of novel, but Im sure there are plenty of people who will love it. Karen and Chris have young twin daughters whom they often park with Pops, Chriss dad, while Chris works overtime to pay the bills, and Karen plays overtime with lovers because shes bored.

Their story is told from alternating viewpoints, and Karen spends a fair bit of her time describing male bodies and equipment, comparing them with each other and luxuriating in descriptions of their performances.

Its almost as if we should excuse her because she has such a fine appreciation of the male physique, including her husbands. She thinks hes hot, but hes not very romantic and doesnt talk to her. Hardly a new theme, but certainly universal.

Karen has a sister and a group of not very interesting girlfriends who generally encourage her bad behaviour, and when the you-know-what finally hits you-know-where, it all starts to fall apart.

Karen makes excuses for herself and tries to seduce her way back into Chriss good graces, meanwhile attempting to shed her lovers, but seeming to have just one more romp before she goes.

When discovered (text messages are the undoing of many people), she still keeps trying to convince Chris she can make everything better if only he will understand why she strayed (its all his fault, of course) and give their marriage another chance.  In one of Chriss chapters, he says:

Karen looked down as tears slipped from her eyes and soaked her blouse. Her voice was shaky when she finally spoke.

There wasn't one specific reason why I cheated on you. I wasn't happy. I was bored, and I felt that you didn't appreciate me. You were always working, and we never went anywhere. Sometimes youd be home, and Id still feel lonely. I felt like you cared more about restoring your stupid car than you did for me.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

The story is smooth and professional and colourful and will probably be popular. I didn't find any of the characters particularly engaging, but that could be just me.

Thanks to the author and Booklover Catlady Publicity for my copy for review. Im sure it will find an enthusiastic audience.

Here's what I liked...
Super hot sex scenes. Liked that very much
I liked that the leading female was NOT questioning, second guessing,  and fighting everything she wanted along the way. Seems like in a lot of books,  half the book is dedicated to the females inner turmoil. This was refreshing in that way.

What I didn't like...
The dialog in this book got very strange at times. With extreme slang and little punctuation, there were paragraghs I read repeatedly and still didn't really grasp fully.
There was little to no build up into their relationship which in turn gave their relationship very little depth for me. I never felt emotionally invested in either one of them.

This wasn't a bad book and I don't regret reading it, but I definatly think a little character development would have gone along way.

While I felt the writing was SO much better than 50 shades, I felt the writer had no clue about how women think and feel. As a 41 year-old woman, I found it hard to identify with Jane.  Just meh. And, I don't care how hot a 24-year-old boy is, yik!

I read somewhere that it was "better" than "Fifty Shades of Gray". As for the sexual content, it was more than enough sex. But somehow the story was lacking or the two people were too messed up for a lasting relationship. They both went to shrinks for their previous life problems. There wasn't enough curiosity to read the second book.

A watered down 50 Shades. I'll give it 2 stars because bit kept me occupied at work. I couldn't bear the last book..skipped to the end, and it was as I predicted.

I enjoyed the short read. Anyone who liked Fifty Shades will enjoy this. It isn't as outrageously kinky as Fifty can be which was okay with me.

I like it a little more than fifty shades.
Hope they do the other 2 books from Christian's point of view

at first i thought this book was a "50 shades" rip-off.  as i read more it became clear it was a lot darker.  held my interest but also made me question  how believable some of the situations were.  went on to order the 2nd in the series.  not sure what this says about the book or me.

I did like the start of the book a lot and how their interactions were sarcastic and fun. But I felt like it was trying to hard and although I like 50 Shades of Grey, it isn't the best-written book, but I thought Stuck-Up Suit was trying for that a little. While this book is written better, it felt like it was trying to summons the essence of Fifty Shades. And I felt the deep fall for Graham was inauthentic, yeah it was lust but for someone to be such an ass and then so sweet just with her, is improbable. And yeah the ex with the daughter coming into it was a little too much and forced. I wanted to love Graham and Soraya but I didn't. I liked them a lot and s*** if the guy on the cover was actually Graham and I was seeing him, yeah, I would fall in love immediately.  I didn't get upset with the characters, I didn't get emotional, I just read it and enjoyed the few hours but it was a forgettable book. And that she's in love with the daughter after a short period, I'm a stepmom myself and I do love them as my own but I wouldn't have ever said that after only a few weeks or months. I thought it was too tidy and not deep enough for me. The sex while good didn't even made me hot. The raunchiness was also not hot. A book that is less sexually explicit but starts with a similar premise is "I got your number" by Sophia Kinsella. It's chic lit but I loved the characters and laughed out loud and wished for the explicit sex but was satisfied without it. Don't get me wrong, I like sex and reading about it but this didn't do it probably because the connection to the characters wasn't there.

If you liked 50 shades you enjoy this. It does have that 50 shades feel to this book series. 50shades with roles reversed

Not a normal type of book for me, but because of the authors great story line, I will gladly move onto the next book to find out the rest.  A warning to those that took offence to 50 Shades, just skim over those parts of the story line.  The rest is totally worth it.
