I usually love Lucia Jordan. Or at least like her work.  It's simple erotica.  The endings may be expected and the writing isn't super fantastic, but it is enjoyable and what you're expecting.But this.  This was a let down.  And maybe I'll sound off my rocker as an erotica reader because maybe my tastes are too...specific? Here it goes...Annabell the nurse meets Thornton the doctor (Thornton, really?) while she's at a sex club with her boyfriend Stephen.  He goes to this sex club with her where people are having sex all over the place, but he is super closed-minded apparently because he thinks anyone who is even moderately into BDSM is a freak. Not quite sure how she got him to the sex club.  Anyway, she sees Thorton in his leather pants and starts watching him spank a submissive.  He watches her while he does this chick.  Whatever. Normal erotica book kind of stuff.  But then...an earthquake! What? So she panics and all of a sudden it's like reading "The Day After Tomorrow."  There is fire and destruction and gaping holes in the ground and stuff falling from the sky.  I mean, it's crazy.  The earthquake ends.  She follows Thornton home (to Wyoming).  He's never said like ANYTHING to her.  He told her the earthquake was over.  Then said "Come." Then took her home.  Ummm...weird.So they get to his hotel to pick up his things before journeying to Wyoming.  And she asks why he likes kinky stuff and he answers because the women want it.  And he just does what the women say.  Which means they're topping from the bottom, right?  Would a real Dom allow that?  She challenges him - asking how he knows that they like it and he demonstrates on her, knowing she'll like it.  This is where it goes WAY down hill for me.  I read a lot of erotica.  A lot of it has themes of BDSM.  In no other book that I have read does the guy chant "Bad girl! Bad, bad girl!" as he spanked his submissive.  Nor have I read one that is written so much like a porno.  Annabell this whole time is going "Oh God. Oh God. Spank me harder! Spank me harder!" Which may be what people say in pornos, maybe even in real life, but it just isn't appealing to read.I feel like this book was written for men.  Isn't this what they need? My dad always said the perfect movie for a guy has to have 1.explosions and 2.full frontal nudity.  I think books must be the same.  This is a porno book for men.  Not erotica.  I'm so let down.But if you're a man's man - read on.
