Talk about porn scene after porn scene. So much cursing!
Disappointing, sorry but I wasn’t expecting 3 curse words in a row and 15 a page. Its just to much! And honestly the one sex scene would end just for the next one to start, like the story line was standing still for the whole 200 pages. I was dragging through it and felt guilty reading it. Just
a bit to harsh. Was expecting drama and
laughing. Something more sweet and romantic. So not recommending it!
