Since when does erotica mean going-to-end-up-dead-or-diseased? This story could have been so much more.I Love My Breakup follows the story of a woman who has decided to answer a sex ad. She's just been dumped, she loves sex ... so why not?Well, lots of reasons. All of which went through my head as I was screaming at this character so smarten the f up.She must not have heard my screaming, because the woman emails the complete stranger, gives him her address, invites him in wearing just bra/undies, and has unprotected sex with him. Her only stipulation? That he not speak. The squick factor of this was just too high for me to enjoy it at all.If the author had done a couple of small plot changes, I'd have been able to enjoy this story. First: the ad should have been part of a site where everyone is vetted as far as disease, truthfulness of photo, and criminal record. It doesn't have to be a real site; knowing that those three factors had been dealt with would have made it MUCH more enjoyable for me to read. Second: condom. The guy needed to use a condom. It's not unsexy; it's SMART. Smart is sexy! Third: they should have met at a hotel room, NOT her apartment. I spent the entire short story so worried about this chick's safety that I couldn't enjoy the hot monkey sex. I was disgusted by her blatant lack of self regard and was horrified that someone might read this story and think it is something to emulate.I will not bother reading the other books in this series, as this first one is so wholly awful.
