Review: You have got to be kidding me.

I feel as though I've read a different book to all the other reviewers, only I checked and it's the same book.I don't like leaving reviews for books that I have not read in their entirety, but in light of the fact that this one has so many (in my opinion misleading) positive reviews, I feel obligated to caution potential readers even though I suspect I will be bullied for my honesty.First: What I have read of the story (I got through the first nine chapters before I started skimming over the rest) is forced, unrealistic, borders strongly on promoting sexual assault, and feels like a bad rip-off of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, right down to the sex contract. That's saying something, as I believe that Fifty Shades was not a great series. I’m by no means a prude. I read and loved the Dark Duet books by CJ Roberts, but this book left me feeling disturbed in a way that those never did.Second: Reading this book was like reading a first draft. It was riddled with spelling errors, grammatical errors, misnomers, and tense lapses. I kid you not.Lastly: The characters were completely unlikable and I could not for the life of me relate to them in any way. Damien comes across as a misogynistic, sexual deviant at best, and Tara comes across as a self-loathing woman who wants to be used and abused.I cannot recommend this book to anyone. It has no redeeming qualities as far as I can tell. This is my honest and unvarnished opinion. I wish that I could have found something positive to say about the Obsession Series, but sadly I searched in vain.
