Jasinda Wilder is the reason that I am giving my all into writing my own romance/erotica. Although this work is a bit novice compared to her later works (all put out in 1 year no less!! Huge Achievement!!), her struggles with her weight and her self-perception give a kindred air to the reader. It's intoxicating and motivating and totally relevant to so many of us women who struggle with weight, height, looks, big feet, whatever. We need to know that we are beautiful and 'goddesses'. The only downside is the emphasis on so much sex. I like it, don't get me wrong, but is any woman that much into pleasuring or giving pleasure? It makes for a good read, but it is conflictive with the realism of her weight. I want to believe this author, and then I don't want to believe. Ex: being stripped down in the middle of the living room by a guy she has just given h**d to in a back alley, and he makes her stand there in her panties as he examines her. Would any of us do that? It felt more like rape, which made me uncomfortable. (I still bought the boxed set, though).
