This was a gay 50 Shades on speed. Everything moved so fast, and nothing was detailed other than how hot Taylor is. It felt more like the author read a bunch of reviews for the "original" book, instead of the book itself. There was even less character development and getting to know you than you'd expect. The tiny bit of growth at the end just wasn't enough. I just can't recommend this to anyone.

2.5 stars, actually ** review coming on 12th of April ** I am a sucker for happy endings and there were good things that actually make you enjoy the book and other nasty writing habits. I don't appreciate the fact that authors make too many references, I think it is an escape to actually describe something, also the reader probably miss half of it. It is a pity that this book tried to be a fanfiction, because I can tell that Mr. Self actually has pretty nice ideas and when he was not pasting E.L. James stuff, the book was pretty good.

As the title of the book is, it's based on the 50 Shades of Grey.  But much better.  I sis award-winning? No.  But is it funny and okay to listen (just use headphones please!).  I did find how the contract was never signed but activity still engaged so not truly respecting BDSM.   Still a better love story than Twilight or Grey books.  Had to say that.  

The plot is a similar set to 50  shades of grey.  Sub in for an interview and there from the beginning special interest is taken and the pursuit begins.  The hard part is the very controlling nature which I found to be too harsh but hopefully, the audience can get that this type of book (don't know about all BDSM books cause I've only read one of them) is best to get relationship advice.  Could feel out the sex imagery and liked part of it but mostly I was thinking and now I can just get to say, another book as stated before, better than Grey and Twlight.

It's just a light-hearted way to get on to the long things of the obsession of BDSM of the 2014  time peroid.  I'm always late to the game though so I finally caught up  I guess.

The best part of this book was when the main character compared himself to the "prostate" in Pretty Woman. Oy.

DON'T JUDGE BY IT"S COVER...OR TITLE!
Do you have that friend that reads just as much if not more than you? The one who recommends you a book and then proceeds to ask you ever time you see each other if you have read said book? Well i have that friend and she recommended this book to me. First off let me just say i have never read 50 shades of grey, nor do i intend to, second i have never read an erotica, and third don't judge this book by its cover! When my lovely friend told me to read this book i laughed in her face and then proceeded to laugh like a psychotic person when i saw the cover, definitely didn't look like something i would ever read in any lifetime. After being asked if i read it over and over and OVER again i finally picked it up, and after the first sentence i was dying of laughter. Don't let the cover & title fool you! This book is ridiculously funny, lighthearted and sweet. Did i mention it was FUNNY and when i say funny i mean HILARIOUS! yes there where some naughty scenes in this book but the author wrote those scenes that when reading them you would end up laughing, literally the main character always had something to say and literally 95% of the time it was something funny! Now when it comes to the writing this book is obviously not going to be getting any awards anytime soon, because the writing was very simplistic and casual and the story line very predictable, But even the title & cover might be a little off putting it is NOT AN EROTICA!! I can't say that enough yes there where sex scenes (only two!) but nothing to graphic. if it weren't for the fact that this book was so funny i would have rated it lower, but i loved the characters, i loved that i laughed through it, and that it ended on such a cute note. Overall i liked this book it wasn't absolutely amazing and i don't see myself reading it again or even remembering the characters but it was entertaining and i recommend it to all! Unless you don't like gay people then i suggest you don't you read this
