Ha! Woman must have Superman's butthole if he can go in dry and not cause her any pain, that's all I'm going to say. Especially when they try anal - without lube - and all she feels is a tiny burn. In keeping with this "me man, woman mine" caveman attitude, the sex is always big man alpha sex, of the cervix-slamming variety (you know the kind I mean) and I know some people enjoy this, and that's fine, but that isn't my cup of tea at all. Like it's her fault for them looking or some BS. He's also constantly getting physical with her and making her feel bad about herself, whether it's berating her for being fake or criticizing her clothes for being too sexy - because how dare she bring male attention upon herself.
Me, I'd be on the phone with the cops well before that point, but she lets him watch. When he realizes that she was actually masturbating, he asks her if she was thinking of him. He assumes, naturally, that any woman who is naked must be entertaining male company, and makes an effort of looking around for that Other Man.
Example: at one point Misha/Masen breaks into her house while she's sleeping and catches her in bed naked. And it wasn't the fact that it wasn't 100% consensual at times that bothered me so much as the fact that Ryen seemed to be embracing this behavior as natural and something she needed. Ryen is attracted to this mean behavior, despite herself, and the two of them have several sex scenes that have this really uncomfortable element that was also present in CORRUPT that is neither healthy nor entirely consensual (at least, that's how it felt to me). A-hole heroes are actually a weakness of mine provided that a) the heroine reacts to this behavior accordingly and b) it takes a heck of a lot of groveling before the characters finally end up together. When he realizes that she's not what he built her up to be on his imaginary pedestal, he gets angry and embarks on a mission to make her life hell. After a tragedy happens in his life, Misha ends up going to Ryen's school under the name Masen for reasons that don't actually have anything to do with Ryen. Ryen is a cheerleader and preppy and into things like TWILIGHT and HARRY POTTER. Misha is punk and in a band and has piercings. They are also pen pals, although they have never met face to face before. PUNK 57 is about two characters, Misha and Ryen, who are both in high school. PUNK 57 was our book of the month in the Unapologetic Romance Readers group for April, and as someone who had read her work previously, I was interested in seeing how it had changed from CORRUPT. PUNK 57 I bought myself, which already means that I'm going to be an eensy bit more critical of it because I'm spending my hard-earned money on the book and judging it accordingly. But the plot was decent and she was good at setting a decent pace, so I sort of half-enjoyed, half-wtf'd my way through the thing and at the end of the book, I wasn't mad. All the men in that book were misogynistic and rapey, too, which added another level of nope. I don't normally go in for erotica, especially erotica that reads like straight-up porn. I thought CORRUPT was okay, with reservations. The first I've read from her was CORRUPT, and that was lent to me by a kind GR friend via Kindle. This is my second book by Penelope Douglas. I tell myself, "Nenia, you're going to regret this, don't do it, you're not going to like it."īut trashy erotica novels, like booze, are easy to do to excess. You know when you're ordering a really strong drink from a bar, and it's got a lot more alcohol in it than you thought, to the point that you can almost taste the hangover over the rum and artificial fruit, and you think to yourself, "This is a bad idea" but then drink it anyway, and order another because YOLO? That's me every time I pick up a new adult book. For more info about what this is, click here. I read this book for the Unapologetic Romance Readers' New Years 2017 Reading Challenge.
