*Head meet desk repetitively.*Hold on dearies because I'm about to do some ripping `n shredding. This morning while enjoying a few RARE moments of silence in my house I decided to pick upCosmo's Fifty-One Shades of Blondeinstallment because I had been putting off reading it. It's no secret that the Fifty Shades of Grey series is HUGE right now, but if I have to read one more cheap knock off, I might scream, a lot.Cosmo apparently knows how to hop on a bandwagon when they see one. Good thing they know a thing or too about fashion, hair, make-up and whatever else because they surely do not know what good smut is. Furthermore, it's annoying to read in the novella that while capitializing on the Fifty Shades name, the make a point to bash it too... hypocritical much? I think so! Seriously,  you either love or hate Fifty Shades, but if you are going to try and make money off it, at least not bash it IN the piece of work that copies it. *Head meets desk again*The ringer for me.... let's open a sexy novel with the phrase, "If you owned a vagina, you couldn't help but notice t his man as he walked into the restaurant." I think that might be a record for the least number of words written before saying the word "vagina" .Bravo, Comso. Bravo. Truthfully, I understand them hopping on the Fifty Shades train and trying to give readers what they are currently desiring. It's SMART. However, what I don't respect is that they did it naming their novella "51 Shades of Blonde". Seriously? It sounds like a compilation of blonde jokes... If they had had a decent story, perhaps written by one of the MANY talented erotica authors out there, and not namesake'd it, then I would have given them props. Truly though, I urge any woman out there that found this truly "exciting" or considers it "naughty" and forbidden to pick up any copy of the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward if vampires strike your fancy, or even any Nora Roberts novel and you'll be panting while you question how you ever thought this was a decent piece of literary work.Read more of this review at:[...]Twitter: @Reviewingromanc
