The book cuts off on a real cliff hanger (1 more)
The sex scenes are super cringe!
This is the first of a series and I did really enjoy the plot and characters, the sex is a bit cringey but aside from that I am happy to continue with the series!
Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex in Books
Mar 1, 2018
Fascinating stuff! Vast amounts of sheer geekery about sex, science, and the intersection thereof. If you're looking for sex tips or salacious reading, look elsewhere. If you're looking to howl with laughter without being able to explain WHY to most people, this is your book.
Okay, one might glean the occasional sex tip, but I don't think they're anything that common sense couldn't tell you. And you'll have to wait for the very last chapter for the best bit.
I'll be adding more of Roach's diverse works to my to-be-read stack soon!

Really short read. Seemed to be over very quickly. Sex used to get what the man wanted. Was ok but seemed rushed

This novella was such a disappointment. Historically, I have enjoyed Lauren Dane and she really knows how to write erotic scenes. Unfortunately, that's the only reason this story received as high of a rating as it did. The characters were shallow and the story was underdeveloped. I felt the author wrote just enough development to get to the sex scenes, and the lack of interest shows. Not too mention the novel has multiple writing tropes that I loathe: the pushy "best friend," the one true mate plot device, and the sex being so good the female doesn't care anymore.
I was sorely disappointed. If you wanted to write raunchy sex scenes, then write them. Don't hide behind poor plot devices to excuse it. Say it with me: consenting adults are allowed to have sex!
