Well, fuck me sideways (to stay on topic).I suppose I could go all Calimero and whine that I maybe should take a break from reading m/m, because I obviously haven’t had much luck with my picks lately (to the delight of some friends. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE...and my revenge will be so sweet and served on a plate filled with beefy leather daddies).
And as is the case with plenty other books I didn’t enjoy, Grey’s Awakening, too, has gotten mostly raving 5 star reviews from friends. I’m just so goddamn puzzled. So I PM’ed 2 or 3 friends about this and who would’ve thought: I’m not getting with the program. 3 stars apparently means ‘hated it’, 5 stars ‘enjoyed it more or less’. Seems like I’ve been doing it WRONG! Seems like I bought books based upon my own flawed & funky perception of the GR rating.
Just when I wondered if I should go a little berserk over this, I thought about the Arab Spring taking a turn for the worse, Russia’s disgusting anti-gay propaganda law and sea creatures choking on our plastic waste, and I realized that..nah, I should probably just shut up and post my favorite quotes from what turned out to be yet another agonizing, eye-roll inducing experience.
I apologize for these quotes being all about sex, sex and sex. I hope I’m not giving away the plot here; the plot being sex.
First sex scene: the MC’s have just met, are out in a massive storm, torrential rain soaked, but erections still manage to spring heavy...and that’s not all!
The men connected visually and began to breathe in tandem, as if they had already become one.
This one made me do a full-body shudder. But hey, whatever rocks your boat!
He drew one of Sirus’s balls into his mouth and sucked it like a babe at his mother’s teat.
You know, it..
He lapped it up like a dog getting its first taste of water in a week. Eventually, the last drop fell.
Mmm..purple prose anyone? (I have no idea if it’s morally acceptable to quote nasty sex scenes in a review? Should I use *’s? Meh)
Grey’s rectum flamed with the heat of Sirus’s invasion, but he needed the scorching-hot fire of friction or he thought he might die. (...) His nuts crying for release, Grey became a frenzy of erratic gyrating as he pummeled his aching passage down on Sirus’s massive p*nis.
The word knifed is used a lot in this book. And while I’m all for knife-play, this sounds just so uncomfortable..
Sirus ground his buttocks into the bulge, his crease splitting and his asshole finding the ridge and rocking in a frenzy over Grey’s c*ck. “I’m still open...ah, yeah...” Sirus groaned and bucked as Grey knifed up into his loosened hole..
Endearments..babe, baby, honey...I'm probably paranoid for thinking that this book was created to torment me?
“Come on, honey, give it up for me.” As if it had a mind of its own and could be sweet-talked, Sirus’s asshole gave way right then.
MOAR sweet-talking.
“Jesus. You have an incredibly responsive ass.”
“I gave you my ass.”Roughness filled his voice and his throat was tight, hurting like hell, but he couldn’t shut up. “That better fucking mean something to you.”
“It does.”
That last quote summed up the essence of their relationship quite nicely.
I could go on forever, but I’m deadbeat. So I wish you all a great day and..
...here I go again on my own.:p
