Steelwhisper's Reviews > Shunned

This is my second attempt at reading the currently trending genre of "reverse harem", which apparently now gets perforce blended into high school/boarding school settings and "bully" romance. So I was intrigued enough to try reading a few books.

Good grief. I shouldn't have bothered.

Apart from the fact, that the writing is extremely poor, and apart from the fact, that this author seems to have a major problem writing ethnicities without coming across as having prejudices, and apart from the fact, that there's no real story or plot, I came away with one major question:

Why do so many women find ANY of this even remotely sexy or attractive?

I can't wrap my brain around this.

Now, the least of what I expected was that the unsympathetic guys would get their comeuppance. Nope. We are supposed to root for them. Actually we are supposed to find boys sexy who tell us, that they are manwhores and fuck just about any pussy, whether tight or loose.

Hello author? I mean, apart from the fact there are no "tight" vs "loose" pussies unless someone suffers from one or the other disease, why the hell should anyone find such an arsehole sexy? Why all that misogyny? As a woman you get to meet a variety of such idiots IRL, why would anyone put them on a pedestal in romance novels?

What is this preoccupation with skeevy idiots who harm and bully others about?

Whatever.

Someone rec me a couple of romances which have adorable guys I can dream of, rather than men that I want to drown in vats of sulphuric acid.
