Blindfolded Innocence by Alessandra Torre
2.0
The only reason I rated this hire than a one star is because there WAS concepts of this book I liked. I liked that there was the 'swinger' element although it could have occurred earlier, but that wasn't really what it was about I guess? But it also was or the title wouldn't have been that.
Uh. It's so hard to explain why I DIDNT like it. I didn't like the writing or the characters to be honest. Julia was a pain in my ass and while 'innocent' I'd actually say immature. Sure her ideals on sex and relationships is innocent, but the number of times I wanted to hit her? Let's just put it down to 100% of the time.
Many of the people I follow on GR have an aversion to the male (I never seem to see complains about females but maybe because they're less common) having sex with someone else. I don't have that problem. What I did have a problem with, was the fact he took a young girl to Vegas, after she kept saying she'd rather not, claimed her an innocent and all that, but left her in a 'gentlemens club' to fend for herself while he screwed someone he sees often, all of this while he's been telling her he WILL get into bed with her, like, one at a time man. Or he could have backed off when he heard her thoughts on sex (she has to 'love'... Until him).
Also about Julia, I wanted to punch her when she calls herself a cocktease. She's proud of it, which is okay, but the way the scene takes place and her thoughts on it sounded too sultry and seedy for my liking. She claims she has no attraction but looks down on people who have sex with people like that. I find that the same thing. She finds sex, sex because you're 'giving your soul' or some crap (they talk about this) but foreplay isn't sex to her and such. She's a wank, really,
I also don't see why Brad didn't come out at the start that he's into that, lots of people like threesomes and such, and I don't see how that's actually an issue like he made it out to be. Like, look for a girl who likes that stuff and you're set. The whole club/party idea and blindfolds and not knowing the people/the rules would make it even easier! Be real up front dude! Ah I don't think I'll continue even if I wanted more of the swinging type relationship the writing style isn't my thing.
