The thing I like about this book was the banter between Conrad and Elena. Usually in erotica, the author is so busy setting up the erotic scenes, they forget that outside the bedroom, people do have normal conversations. They have a laugh and a joke and talk about inane things. That's where Mr Carver has succeeded where a lot of erotic authors have failed. He has made some of the exchanges between Conrad and Elena hilarious...they bounced off each other with their saucy innuendoes and their sarcasm.The sex was well written but it did surprise me to read the word pull all the time. Grab, stroke, grip...but pull? Hmmm unusual terminology especially written by a man!I also think that when ladies are choosing book boyfriends, they should be leaning towards a guy like Conrad because he wasn't arrogant, and he knew how to treat a lady properly. Maybe as a man myself, that's how I feel men should be towards women yet it surprises me when I see women fangirling over complete bumhole characters in books that can only be described as abusive half the time!!If this is the standard of Mr Carver's first novel then I expect him to hit all the bestseller lists as he has perfected his craft very early on in his career.Congrats on a great book!
