Book Reviews of Wicked
Book Review: How can anyone read this drival....?????
Summary: 1 Stars
I have never, NEVER given a book a lower rating then a three, but there's a first time for everything and this is it! I was terribly disappointed in Ms. Johnson, since I loved her "Braddock-Black" books, how can someone who wrote those wonderful books, write this fluff????? Oh, it started out okay, Serena's situation and why she had to leave her position as governess was believable. Beau seemed like the typical flawed, warm-heart under a cold, seductive shield type. I muddled through it till Serena got on the ship, and they jumped right,and I mean RIGHT into bed. Then, after another 10 pages or so of nothing but sex, and unimportant talk, and that whole cake scene, I just gave up. Other books I've read, where the characters jump almost immediatly into bed, had more substance and logic this this bad, terrible, horrible collection of pages and words. Oh, please don't waste your time or money.Book Review: Johnson's Hot Again
Summary: 5 Stars
Continuation of Sinful with Sinjun's and Chelsea's arrogant,
slutishious son faced with a spirited, independent, sassy,
hot girl. Venture into Johnson's hot sex and passionate
story!!!!Book Review: More story, less sex!
Summary: 2 Stars
Explicit sex does not a good story make!This book reminds me of a skin flick--some very steamy
sex scenes loosely tied together by a very flimsy
attempt at a plot. If you want true romance with
main characters you can care about, this is not the book
for you. (The one shining jewel about this book is the
cover! :>)
Book Review: Not Hot, No Plot!
Summary: 1 Stars
This was not a romance novel and in my opinion it was not hot. I personally like stories that are sensual and erotic. This story didn't try to develop any type of a bond or relationship between the characters. I think it is easy to write a story that consist of nothing but crude sexual encounters and explicit language. It takes real talent to weave a plot and story with depth and substance as well as romance and senuality. This was the 1st and probably the last Susan Johnson book I will ever read. I expect more than this in a ROMANCE novel. If you want to read an erotic story that is not a glorified porno I recommend "PURE TEMPTATION" by Connie Mason.Book Review: Not that wicked
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a boring one. Oh yes, there was a LOT of sex. The sex scenes were frequent, meaning one scene per chapter. However, the scenes were short and after awhile got kind of boring. The characters and plot seemed fake and unreal. For instance, I don't understand why Serena wanted Beau. Why the heck they like each other? Because they sure get into bed pretty fast and often. There was some attempt to make a real plot with the addition of Napoleon, but I couldn't quite get it and it seemed incongruous. But it's really boring because all Serena and Beau seem to do is pig out and have sex, at the same time. Like other common female characters, Serena is big-breasted and can play cards really well. Honestly,. Can't romance writers think of more unique qualities, instead?
However, the majority of this book has too much sex AND food, at the same time. It's like a bad imitation of Gone With the Wind. All that eating rich foods while getting screwed at the same time left me feeling motion-sick.
But hey, I'll admit my heart started racing and kind of cringed when Beau said something like, "I want to fill you up with so much sperm" all to get her pregnant. I'm not really into the younger man. Beau is 22, and Serena is 23. But if young hormone-driven lovers are your thing, then go for it!
However, if you want some escapist literature, I would not recommend this. The lack of structure left me feeling arrogant, thinking I could write better. The other flaws are also too annoying to provide any type of escape.
I've read review of Susan Johnson's books, especially how much they complained about gratuitous sex. I don't think this is one of her dirtier ones. The boring sex scenes should make this one CLEAN.
