I confess I only made it halfway through this book before I deleted it from my kindle.  I have a fairly high threshhold for bad writing and can normally find something within a story that'll entice me to read to the conclusion.  "For Everything" had some good ideas but the author couldn't rise to the challenge.The book contains some of the most stilted dialogue I've ever read.  Everyone speaks with a robotic cadence as if an English teacher is poised to smack their hands if they uttered a contraction.  Even the Terminator felt comfortable saying "I'll be back" rather than "I will be back."Lily has a traumatic and brutal event in her past and she's a wallflower for good reason.  Clay has been crushing on her for a year and manipulates Lily into spending a week with him while he's taking care of band business and social events.  Contrary to his vow that nothing will happen and he won't push, he violates her privacy the first night in the hotel and it felt creepy.Since this is erotica there'll be a lot of sexual encounters.  The only thing shocking about them is how badly they're written.  The repetitive use of the same body part slang was meant to titillate but really only succeeded in revealing the author's lack of range.  And its used over and over and over again.  Someone get her a thesaurus!Since Clay is a rock star and probably gets more a$$ than a toilet seat, the decision to have sex without a condom (EVER!)seemed predatory and selfish.  In his mind he couldn't control himself long enough to protect himself AND his partner.  It appears their only concern was pregnancy (not disease).  Was this book written by a teenager???The final straw for me was Clay's reaction to Lily's big secret.  He fondled her the entire time she recounted all the horrific details.  Then he magnanimously decided to let Lily control their next sexual experience, but he kept giving her directions..."put your hand here," "move your leg this way," "sit back," etc.  So much for letting her do things her way.  Once she fell asleep, he got the brilliant idea to have a private investigator find the creep that hurt her.  To accomplish this he rifled through her purse to find her drivers license and sent a copy to the PI.  My reaction?  "Delete from device"This books is horrible, people!  Ignore those 5 star reviews.  If you're in the mood for erotica, this one will only frustrate you (and not in a good way).
