I spent an evening being told, "You really should read the Shades of Grey stories! if you want to write that sort of thing well, then that those are the books to read!"
I did try to read it honestly, but it gave me the urge to thump or slap some people - and not in the erotic way either!
Am I the only one who thinks that, the great sexy hero is just a pretentious idiot!
And
The heroine needs shaking and told to grow up!
So I ask, what am I missing here - and why must all erotica be like that, if it is to be seen as any good?
