Goodbye Paradise by Sarina Bowen
Did not finish book. Stopped at 85%.
The gender roles in this one made me way too uncomfortable to finish. Josh has spent his life having his masculinity called into question, which is one thing, but then to have him strictly on the bottom, leave him a stay at home boyfriend, and have him turn out to be oh so shockingly good at all the stereotypically feminine tasks -- that's real gross. Had to call it quits when he 'slaps' another character where every other man is described as throwing punches. No thank you. If I wanted a bad M/F romance, I would've just done that instead of slogging through whatever this was.
Also was not a fan of these two virgins from the most sheltered life imaginable going from 0-100 and having anal sex without any prep. That legitimately had me in stitches -- in what world would that end well? And with these characters in particular? I don't regret dropping this book one bit.
