Love verses Payne: by Z StefaniOne good thing about this book is that is free.  Also, it has a Romeo and Juliet theme with a twist. The H & h families hate each other and so the H & h are not allowed to be friends.  Instead of being friends, they start a relationship in 3rd grade with each daring the other to do something difficult and/or embarrassing.  This book is labeled as erotica but to me, the s_x scenes were not too graphic nor too many although it is definitely not a book for teenagers.SPOILERS: However, the author falls into the familiar pattern of when the H and h are apart, the H sleeps with other women but she goes without. Right after the first time they make love, he immediately sleeps with an old girlfriend in attempt to "forget" the h. This first separation lasts about 1 week before they are together again. Then, later, they break up again.  He become a manhoe, having s_x with a vast number women including having a three-way. He is "punishing" himself by doing these things, some of which he finds degrading. The h on the other hand, is the one who is really punished. She doesn't get to be with anyone else after either separation. In fact, she was a virgin when they got together, unlike him.  Also unlike him, she his sent to live with a mean relative that treats her like a servant. Also, she is pregnant and the only food sh gets to eat is scraps of what the evil relative's dog doesn't want.  At the end, even though they are still in high school, they get married and have multiple children. This book really bothered me and I wish I stopped reading it.  It cemented for me the idea that because a book is free does not mean it will not cost the reader anything by reading it.
