Review: DNF - very childish and sub-par

As a norm, I do not write reviews for book I do not finish but in this case, I felt the need to make an exception. I read a quite a bit of erotica for both reviewing and for pleasure. Therefore, from the blurb, I expected an exciting hot read. While the writing may have had heat, the language felt very childish and sub-par. On top of all that, Ms. Smith needs to get herself a better editor because between the poor punctuation, bad grammar and the improper use of homophones, I almost gave up reading this story. However, I tried to see beyond all the distractions and tried to lose myself in the story.I made it half way through before I finally gave up. Why do you ask? Frankly, I found too many similarities between this book and a very popular book written two years ago by another author, Red Phoenix. Now I understand some books can seem the same but when scenes are written almost exactly word for word the same, a reader cannot help but feel that there is something fishy afoot. If you don’t believe me, feel free to compare Ms. Smith’s “I Googled it” scene to Ms. Phoenix’s “I Googled it, Sir” scenes and tell me they are not almost the same.Thankfully, this book was free because if it was not, I would be demanding my money back. Teaching Bailey is most definitely NOT a book I would recommend.Stars - 1
