Review: Some of the sex is arousing and a turn-on, but this book is not for me.  Several times I was wishing it would be over.

INSUFFERABLE PROXIMITY by Z. Stefani.The best part is probably the numerous sex scenes where Julian gropes her, displays her, sucks on her body parts and pleasures her with oral sex.  She resists, but then she can't resist.  Most sex scenes were short with not much emotion.  A small percentage of the scenes had Julian entering her.  Heaven never did anything oral to Julian.  The turn-on is probably the caveman who's obsessed with seeing her pleasured.  He does sexual things to her in public.  He demands she wear no underwear in public.  There is a small amount of bondage, spanking, and sex toys.  Other than that, it's vanilla sex.Heaven and Julian are extremely attractive brilliant tough lawyers.  Heaven wears dumpy clothes to hide and avoid her sexuality.  She is a virgin.  Julian has sex with multiple women per week, frequently during office hours. He desires sex constantly and has no desire to deprive himself.  As he falls for Heaven, Julian is possessive and controlling.  In real life he would be an abusive spouse with stds.  But we're not doing that here in our fiction.  Instead the author is enhancing his sexuality caveman style.The story was ok, but the bad guy suspense part was not well thought out.  (I'm calling the bad guy BG, because I don't want to say whether BG was male or female.)  BG was able to do too many things that were hard to believe.  BG broke into places regardless of security systems and cameras.  BG was a better computer hacker than the super hacker hired by the private detective.  BG entered a house with several people armed and wary.  Then BG attacked and tied up each person without alerting others.  BG did too many things too easily and too convenient for the plot.  They were like events from an outline - no depth or showing BG's actions or thoughts and no showing how BG could accomplish these feats of brilliance and luck.According to one reviewer, the book was re-edited in August, 2012.  Several reviews dated before August complained about a huge number of errors.  I must have read the later version because I only noticed occasional errors - missing words or wrong words, things a spell-checker would miss.It's 737 pages, about twice the length of a typical book.DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person.
