Review: What part of this is OK?
Rating: 1 out of 5

Who is giving this book 5 stars? Dean Chase is an attorney in San Francisco who sees a woman he wants. Whe he hits on her in a grocery store, she tells him, "I'm. Not. Interested." In response, he winds up grabbing her around her waist and pushes his erection against her. How many times, and in how many ways does a woman have to say NO to this man? Yet he licks her, he puts her hand on his erection, he puts his hand up her skirt, he drags her into a hallway at the W hotel and has sex with her up against the wall. Throughout the book, her answer is repeatedly no, and he repeatedly ignores it. He knows she doesn't mean all the different times and in all the different ways that she has said no to him.I don't want to come across as being militantly or radically feminist, but what part of this is OK with people? I am assuming the author is female, based on the feminine pronouns in her bio, and I am really amazed that a woman in the 21st century would write this. I can't believe that I am the first of 58 reviewers to give this story a rating lower than a three. Would you want a man to treat your mother/daughter/sister/son/brother/whatever like this? Would it be "hot" in that case? When I hear no, I understand that means no, and I respect it. Even in badly written fiction...with a cliffhanger, no less.
