50 Shades of Blushing Pink

This review of 50 Shades (which I still have not read because I'm a bad, bad erotic writer) made me blush. And I didn't even pay her to say all that nice stuff about me.

This review is from: Fifty Shades of Grey: Book One of the Fifty Shades Trilogy

I bought this book because we're reading it for my book club. I was intrigued. I paid the $10 for it and now wish I could get that money back. The writing is just awful. I don't know who edited it, but oh my, they didn't do a very good job. There were so many phrases that were repeated over and over and over again. A few times, in the middle of a sexy-ish scene, Ms. James would use a word I'd never heard before and wasn't even sure I could figure it out through context. I feel like I have a pretty good vocabulary, so it was astonishing to me that out of nowhere she would use a fifty cent word that would send me to the dictionary!

Who wants to go to the dictionary in the middle of foreplay?!

If you would like a well written sexy novel, I'd recommend anything by Alison Tyler. You can start with Melt With You (Cheek) and Tiffany Twisted (Cheek). Ms. Tyler can write circles...heck, she can write dodecahedrons around Ms. James. If you enjoy the kink aspect of Fifty Shades, you could always go with one of the little anthologies edited by Ms. Tyler (she also has a short story in it) like K Is for Kinky (Erotic Alphabet).

Oh, and speaking of blushing... if you are into spanking, please check out my collection Blushers—dedicated to all the spankos in the audience.
