If I'm buying litfic, I'm assuming the MC might be an unlikeable tool, and if he is, that won't necessarily make me enjoy the book less.<BR/><BR/>But if the hero in a romance is a jerk, well, it's just very difficult to get past that--and if the author keeps telling us the jerk is really a jewel, well, that just pisses me off.kirsten saellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778076783406073225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987282986651733585.post-12942707829631304692008-09-26T05:20:00.000-07:002008-09-26T05:20:00.000-07:00If you hadn't bought this book specifically for th...<I>If you hadn't bought this book specifically for the f/f content, would your grade have been different?</I><BR/><BR/>In this case no. If it were straight up erotica, yes maybe. I bought it for the f/f/f//m content, but still a story and the characters have to appeal to me otherwise, there's porn. Ya know.<BR/><BR/>I didn't like this book for the reasons I gave. The hero is painted as this really upstanding, nice guy and yet he tricks the heroine several times and it's supposed to be ok because she's falling in love and maybe wants a baby anyway and so on. I didn't like that. And the whole brothel thing wasn't for her at all. It was a selfish thing for him in the guise that she will love it. <BR/><BR/>So this had nothing to do with the lack of or crappy f/f content and it won't for all the books I review.LVLM(Leah)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01344785501583933784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987282986651733585.post-46296499471365223632008-09-25T23:36:00.000-07:002008-09-25T23:36:00.000-07:00I find it really interesting how the reasons we pu...I find it really interesting how the reasons we purchase a particular book color how we react to it. If you hadn't bought this book specifically for the f/f content, would your grade have been different?<BR/><BR/>I've found some tropes bother me all the time. But often they bother me more if I was hoping for something great and got something lame instead.kirsten saellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778076783406073225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987282986651733585.post-68646847886650681612008-09-25T19:18:00.000-07:002008-09-25T19:18:00.000-07:00Yeah, I really liked The Arrangement so this was d...Yeah, I really liked <I>The Arrangement</I> so this was disappointing. <BR/><BR/>There was just something off about this whole story even as far as a romance goes.LVLM(Leah)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01344785501583933784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987282986651733585.post-66477043322011867792008-09-25T19:13:00.000-07:002008-09-25T19:13:00.000-07:00Poo.
