★★☆☆☆
Just so awful
Several times as I tried to trudge through this story I had to remind myself that these characters are supposed to be adults. Nearly 30 actually. I still wonder if the author is an adult. It seems like her idea of adulthood and the mentality and dialogue that go with that are borrowed from a bad teen made for tv movie. Things that were beyond annoying: - Perfect Suzy is of course a bombshell. All the guys want her. And yet she's never managed to have even a semi satisfactory sexual experience? - Apparently they live in Rapeville as Suzy is mauled and attacked by multiple men. But only when City was handy for rescue of course. - The dialogue is painful. I have a test when I think it's odd or awkward. I say it aloud. Just try that with any line in this and you'll feel completely ridiculous. Seriously, two grown women who constantly call each other 'whore?' What do you think this is, Mean Girls? - All of the relationships are completely juvenile. The emotional development of the characters seem to have ceased in high school. - I could forgive some of that if the sexual content was good enough. I prefer smut with a good story but I can deal with just good smut. Unfortunately the author hasn't mastered the art of show instead of tell. Suzy was quick to talk about how amazing City was in the sack. But the descriptions were of pretty standard stuff. Just with a guy who thinks phrases such as 'balls deep' in regular conversation is sexy. - Seriously, do these two ever have a conversation that doesn't include sex? And if that was deliberate, then unfortunately the result was decidedly unsexy and at times nearly painful. I did not, or rather could not, finish this. I gave it a good go, getting to about the 80% mark but then the eye rolling became almost constant so I had to abandon the effort.
