Everything Marie's Reviews > My Body-His

I started out reading this book with lots of high hopes and expectations; unfortunately they were never fulfilled. I did not enjoy reading this story at all. I just couldn't get into it. It felt too rushed for some reason therefore, I felt I never got to fully understand the characters. Don't get me wrong, the book was very well written and some parts did make me laugh out loud, but something didn't sit well with me. I've read erotica in the past and I know the basics and what the stories usually en tale, but sad to say, this story was not it. I've read Fifty Shades of Grey, The Crossfire Trilogy, and The Sweet Surrender Series. All of those books are BDSM and erotica but I still felt the romance, the passion, the lust, and the happiness. A book should pull you into it, and make you feel a part of it, and this one did not.

For one, I did not like Luke at all. I felt he was too overpowering, arrogant, and he was so cruel and frankly a little abusive for my tastes. I didn't feel anything from him; no compassion, not one ounce of love, or even maturity, especially for being a 45-year old man with his act together. Every time Jane asked a question about his past, he just brushed her off and "disciplined" her instead for acting out. I think I would have been able to enjoy the book more if I actually felt like he loved Jane and adored her as he said he did. I just didn't believe him. I didn't like Jane either. I think she made idiotic and impulsive decisions, basically dropping her life, just for one man, after only knowing him for a few weeks. It's a shame I couldn't get into this story; it is just too depressing for me and downright humiliating. I won't be reading the remaining books of the series, but I hope they are better and more believable.
