Blindfolded Innocence by Alessandra Torre
1.0
THIS REVIEW WILL NOT BE FAVORABLE. WARNING: SPOILERS.
I waited to write this review because I was pissed off that I even wasted my time. I read this because it was in my recommended reading section. I have compiled a short list of problems with this book.
1) THIS BOOK LACKED ENOUGH SEX.
With a book such as this, I expect a lot of hot, steamy, toe curling, clawing the bed sheets sex. THEY DON'T FUCK UNTIL HALFWAY THROUGH THE BOOK. That is saying a lot, considering that the book isn't that long. After the initial sex scene, you would think that there would be more sex. You would be wrong. (Aside from the girl named Alexis that he screwed in Vegas while Julia was on the trip with him. Pig much?) There's not anymore action until the end of the fucking book.
2) THE CHARACTERS ARE FLAT AS CARDBOARD.
When I read a book, I expect to get to know the character like my best friend even though they do not exist. That doesn't matter if the character seems real. The characters in this book are FLAT. Flatter than Miley Cyrus's ass. (Come on, you know it was funny.) Julia is a independent woman going to college. She's interning at a law firm for said college. She meets confirmed bachelor/ man whore Brad De Luca and feels attracted to him, she knows she needs to stay away, etc. Seriously. THAT IS IT. Then we have Brad De Luca. Attractive, wealthy, successful. Oh, did I mention that he was a man whore? He also has a KINK. Wanna know what the fucking kink is? HE'S A SWINGER. He loves to watch his spouse fuck other people. Seriously not kidding. Just ugh. Anyway, flat characters. Moving on.
3) THE PLOT IS FUCKING TERRIBLE.
The words above just about say it all. Half of the book is about their trip in Vegas. BORING. This book practically put me to sleep.
4) THE CHARACTERS ARE ANNOYING.
Julia's friends are terrible. One of them is the reasonable down to Earth one, and the other girl is just plain awful. She is the annoying cliche rich white girl with an iPhone and Starbucks. Not kidding. I probably should have put her in the flat character section. Julia is annoying too. She's a fucking cock tease. She teases men and makes them think that she is going to hook up with them. That's until she sees the desperation in their eyes and fucking leaves them with blue balls. She uses men to feel WANTED. Ugh. Brad De Luca is actually better than Julia. At least he's fucking honest with himself and the people that he screws. Still, that doesn't change the fact that he's a disgusting pig.
My advice? DON'T WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME. This book is beyond awful. There are two other books, and I won't be reading them. This book was so terrible that I'm not even concerned with finding out how this ends. I'm going to leave this here, and hopefully people will heed my advice. And by the way, YOU'RE WELCOME.
