Must a book be jam packed with sex and no story? What is up with authors over using the "can't think, can't breathe, cause you are so hot, I have to have you!"  I like sex in my books and typically won't read one that doesn't have some type of intimacy in it.  But can I get a story? Can I get a heroine that is not so overcome with the hero she can't think of anything  but kissing or sexing him?  And do we really need to read the same scene over and over in different locations?  This has become over the top in novels now and I for one can not wait until it ends. Rant over...The writing was good, the author can put words together, but after having to skip all the sex scenes to get to the story it became way shorter. The heroine forgave way to quickly and easily to be left for 10 years.  She couldn't possibly process it because she was busy processing the sex.  I am not saying he should've groveled all over the place but can I get her to at least have grown from the 22 year old to the 32 year old you are today?  Sure, you could say she was "strong" and "happy", and moved on..but was she really?  Did she really? She had a perfectly good man, who she was with later in the  years that she used for everything but love. (and I know people are all like you can't help who you love, I call bulls**...to a point).  But because there were no fireworks like with her first love, she couldn't do it.  Good thing this is fiction, because I know plenty of women who are single that would roll their eyes at the absurdity.Her friend was not what I would expect a friend would do (ok maybe some), but she dismissed all the pain and separation by simply saying he had to "fix" himself, you are made for each other! And what's with the total stranger saying the same thing after one date with her friend? But of course since it IS a stranger saying it it has to be truth. And who really doesn't move on in this day? Someone that's pathetic is who.It's actually quite insulting that we are to believe by the number of books out there, that logic, sense, pride, and expectation get totally dismissed because of a man and what he can do in the bedroom.  Maybe it's just the feminist in me.  I love sex and the scenes as much as the next dirty reader but not at the sake of the story.  Otherwise I would buy the 20 page eroticas that cost a buck where I have no expectation of a story...like porn.(don't judge me ).The hero was better than most, he seemed sincere and felt like it was the right thing to do.  What rubbed me the wrong way is that he came back after he was "fixed" and wanted to take right up.  And of course being a woman who loses her head when pheromone is nearby she just has to have it.If you want a story that's more sex than story read it...it's free.
