A review by emsbookobsessed
The Pucking Wrong Number by C.R. Jane
Did not finish book. Stopped at 49%.
DNF @ 49% and what did even just read? I tried to push through but I couldn’t. I normally don’t rate stuff that I DNF but this one was bad. If I had the capabilities to give it lower than 1 star I would. It deserves 0.25 stars or honestly even 0 stars.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a dark romance lover but this is just so poorly written. It’s dial pov and the author repeated a few scenes with others perspective of the scene. It was unnecessary. He’s not attractive. He’s obsessed with her but not in a good way. I have so many thoughts. The way the FMC described his “beautiful” and “gigantic” dick as a monster was repulsive. Also she is so fucking annoying and insecure. She did not react appropriately at all to her love interest getting a background check on her when they barely met. The way he got up in front of her college class and basically peer pressured her into going out with him??? He ate her out in his hockey teams locker room… while the other players were in there???? He made a copy of the key to her house and did stuff to her while she was asleep?? My last straw was finding out that he had tattooed her name on his dick before they even slept together. No thank you.
The main problem for me is not the actions of the MMC that could be considered triggers or too dark. I have literally just seen it done so much better by numerous authors of dark romance. It’s not poorly written. It’s not good. It’s not worth your time. If I could petition for a book to be unpublished, it would be this one, definitely in my top 3 worst reads of 2024 so far.
*** update****
After glancing through some reviews - he gets her evicted, fired from her job, and then chains her up in her apartment when she tries to leave him??? Wtf??? Literally JAIL.
This is not a dark romance, sis. I’m all for creativity and freedom of speech. But these are inside thoughts that should have stayed in the brain instead of being written into a book.
Also, I read that the author likes to make fun of readers and their reviews in her little reader Facebook page, not cool. But if you’re still doing that, I hope you enjoy being a bully and making fun of mine.
Based on this book & her supposed actions, she will be placed on my dnr list. And yes, I will go through your entire goodreads catalogue of works as of today and add them to my list. I want to remember how much I hated this book and not give you any money if goodreads tries to recommend you to me.
