Review: Was this some kind of bawdy creative writing assignment?

I think the premise of the books was good and some of the plots had promise as well. But overall, the set was a failure. Unlike some of the other 1 star or 2 star reviewers, I'm not taking points off because some of the stories had MMF or MM action. I actually like reading stories like that.The reason I can't give more stars or a good review is because the writing was awful. It read like someone gave the authors a very detailed outline and then the authors just worked their stories around that. There were writing and editing mistakes galore. Some stories switched from past to present tense and from first person to third person.For those who say the stories are hot, there really was a lot of sex in all the stories. And that's fine with me. But they all seemed to write their sex scenes alike. I couldn't feel any real passion or connection to any of the characters. How can you feel anything when the authors de-personalize their own characters, calling them 'Dom 1' and 'Dom 2' instead of telling the reader who actually does what to whom?As far as these books being about the BDSM lifestyle, I laugh. I think the authors just wanted to jump on the bandwagon with the current popularity of BDSM and menage stories. It seems like they did a very small internet search on the subject and drew the rest from their imaginations.It's a good thing this set only cost 99 cents. What a waste, otherwise.
