Review: Hate Dick With Me
Rating: 5 out of 5

I had the distinct honor and privilege to beta read 'The Price of Dick'. Now, I have to admit that up until being asked to perform that task, I had not read 'Memorizing You', nor was I aware of Dan Skinner's immense photography talent. I was, basically, a Dan Skinner virgin. I know, Dan, you're probably rolling your eyes at that description, but I just want to emphasize that I walked into this book knowing NOTHING of the author. Hence, I was not aware of the issues he's dealt with in the past few years. So, with that said......OMG. I loved this book. I hated Dick, despised him, abhorred him, loathed him, detested him. He filled me with HUGE amounts of repugnance and rancor. Do you get the picture? Dick made me sick. And, that's probably the only time in my life I've made that statement. JJ, on the other hand, I loved. How could I not? He's a good, decent person, who got used and betrayed in the most fundamental of ways. He fell for Dick's performance, and that's all that it was, and when JJ started to realize that things weren't meshing, he was so trusting and a little naive, it took JJ's new fitness trainer, Alex,  to help him see the light. And, let me tell you how much I fell for Alex. I so wanted JJ to get that HEA with Alex, in the end, and who knows? Maybe Dan got one, too?I realize I haven't gone into detail about the aspects of this story as I normally do. However, this story is overwhelming and you can't get a picture of this book until you read it. Until you walk the road with JJ, holding his hand, helping to protect him, hoping and praying to every god and goddess you know that Dick will get his just dessert. Personally, I wanted Dick to die in some grotesque manner, but, in actuality, what JJ did to him and Dick's disgusting, revolting, mother was a great scene. I'm not telling. Read the book. Seriously. Don't miss it.Go. Right now. Buy it. Devour it. Hate Dick with me. (Yes, yes Alex, I know, hating is a negative emotion that really only hurts me. But, when it comes to Dick, it feels SO GOOD!)Really? What are you waiting for? Go. Now.
