Listening to: Buckcherry
- Sorry. It’s definitely a Buckcherry type of day.
Mood: Tired and Discouraged
I usually refrain from commenting on what I’m reading in the
blog because I have a separate blog for my literary pursuits. Check it out here
if you’re interested. I think it’s also worth noting that I am NOT a fan of
pop-lit. In fact, I usually avoid it like the plague.
Fifty Shades of Grey was discussed so often that I hesitated
to even read it. I figured it was good for some hot scenes, so I figured I
would give it a chance. Wow. I am so glad I did. The author is definitely
talented at creating hot scenes. I’m
almost finished with the 3rd of the books and I have to say that I
loved all of them.
Ok, so this is a romance novel. Even with the BDSM twist (which by the way – definitely pushes the right buttons for me in a major way) it boils down to romance. There isn’t much of a plot beyond sex. I do like the character development though. There’s just something hot about a man that needs to be saved and needs love. On paper I love broody serious, flawed men. Yes please.
Like all romance novels, you probably shouldn’t think too
hard about logic. The bad boys really don’t turn around like this in real life.
Most are probably not uber rich either. Still, it’s a fun read if you like that
type of thing. The first book deals a
lot with the darker side of sex. If you don’t like/agree with that type thing,
this probably isn’t for you. If you are really really into it, the book doesn’t
delve too deeply either. It’s a fine line well skated.
I’d definitely recommend it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need
to go off and daydream about my rockstar some more only this time he’s dark.
