Review: Too many Nicklelodeon moments...
Rating: 2 out of 5

Yes, this book has erotica, but it also uncomfortably has these juvenile moments where a friend's mom is being a voyeur into their sex lives and the hero has become this over-the-top genius/billionaire/crime fighter.  That, along with a not to be believed obnoxious AI computer, this series has really taken a down turn for me.  I always thought the too smart/smart aleck RITA computer was  silly and then the series got worse for me with the creepy Tilly (uh she has no problem breaking into a couple's bedrooms as they're about to have sex or just finished and just sits there, stares/talks to them).  I don't want to read about Tilly's horny relationship with Angus.I really liked the earlier books of S.E. Smith but something has been happening with her writing - in attempting to portray humorous situations, they come across as uncomfortable, forced and sadly ruin the overall story.I agree with other reviewers that unless you read the preceeding books in this series, you would be sunk.  I will continue to read SE Smith as her first 10-12 books, I absolutely loved, but lately, I just don't know.  Riley, Indiana, the later books of Cosmos' Gateway - they're not as interesting/touching to me and the characters feel too outrageous (not in a good way).
