Ok. This review will contain what most would consider spoilers but there is no way to avoid that as I vent my spleen. In all fairness I must confess that I was annoyed that I had accidentally purchased this book as I downloaded a few hundred samples late at night, without my glasses, so that annoyance may have had a bearing on how little patience I had with the bollocks that is this story.As I started reading the book I was horrified by the amateurish writing style. At first I forgave the author thinking that the writing style was used on purpose to illustrate the youthful innocence of the characters but then I realised that no, the characters were not that youthful, the author was just not that good. My despair then deepened as the two-dimensional characters bumbled through the story without any attempt made by the author to explore the deeper emotions or develop their characters. At the 70% mark I finally gave up on the book & staggered to my computer to write this review.Who the hell gets raped, without a condom, is left bleeding from the brutality of the rape & then spends the afternoon making sweet love??????????????????????? WTF??????????????? I was gob-smacked. I was horrified. I was further revolted when the victim didn't inform his lover that he had been raped & was possibly a source of infection for STD's. I won't be reading the rest of the book & I will be asking Amazon to put a warning in the description because if you were a victim of sexual assault, this book could trigger you.Not worth the money. Not worth your time.
