Book Review: Too much to handle
Summary: 2 Stars
There's a song in my country that goes like this: from my window I watch one, two, three, four, five young boys go by; but when they grow up they are all going to be mine...(Never on Sunday) I don't know whether the author had this song in mind when she wrote this book but yes, Anna, the heroine of this story gets all five guys , which I think is rather selfish of her. What about the rest of us?
Seriously though, Anna has to make some self sacrifices when her husband threatens to take custody of her children. She needs lots of money urgently so when she is chosen from among other far more attractive and younger women to serve the sexual needs of five men, she accepts as there is no other way she can come up with so much money at such short notice. She arrives at a luxurious mansion where five attractive young men reside and that's about the end of the story since from then on we get detailed descriptions of Anna's household duties. By the way, she does get to serve dinner from time to time but more often than not she becomes the main course as well as the dessert! It may sound appealing to some women, but I would have opted for highway robbery rather than endure the constant demands of five randy men in their prime who make use of her morning, noon and night individually or in various combinations or even all five simultaneously! I am surprised she did not get a dislocated jaw considering the excessive use it was put to.
No, I did not like the book as the story is sketchy and the men differed only by the size of their members! I never got to distinguish who was who, but it didn't make much difference as the characters are simply there to make up the various sexual equations. I did not find the characters interesting or likeable and the heroine didn't seem to mind her sacrifice in the least so there was nothing in the 'plot' to keep me involved.
Book Review: For beginner readers.

I am an avid reader and trade heavily on book swaps sites. I had been waiting for this book (based upon others' reviews) and am sad to say it was a total waste of time. The premise was ridiculous, the vocabulary was juvenile and the typface and paragraphing were akin to a primary reader! Needless to say, I don't recommend this book and I certainly won't hold my breath for another by this author.Book Review: A bit confused, but entertained none-the-less
Summary: 2 Stars
this book had quality potential in the plot, but the telling of it was a bit rushed and jumbled at times. Perhaps, had it been longer, I would have been more pleased. I read it in under 24hrs. Not a lot of meat to chew through, but it was still tastey enough to chew.Book Review: not worth my money

Summary: 1 Stars
Ohmygod, what a horrific and funny book. Imagine you're a wealthy group of young playboys who hire women for extended sexual fantasies and over "hot, young, well-built college girls" you choose Anna, the protagonist, who describes herself as a "road weary, ripe tomato, not the least bit girlish (translation: old), had two kids -- and all the stretchmarks to prove it, battled nature and lost, and no amount of dieting or exercise could undo what carrying babies did to my body." The men are in their late 20s and early 30s, so she is presumed around 45 years old by further descriptions. Imagine the keg-gutted, loud-mouthed shrew with bad hair and perpetual lemon face that is Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond) and you get the picture. There are lots of problems here, so let's get to them.
First, NO MAN is ever going to make this hag his fantasy, much less pay her exorbitant amounts of money to have sex with her. And certainly no younger, hot, rich man. Nature doesn't work that way, nor does the real world. And as a fantasy erotica story, it's like casting Clint Howard as the romantic lead of a blockbuster movie: ain't gonna happen.
Second, a woman with "little sexual experience" as old Anna bills herself is NOT going to apply for the local long-term whore job at Bruce Wayne's mansion to make enough cash to "save her kids." Divorce court doesn't work that way. Her husband had abandoned her, she gets the kids and his money, period.
Third, the story is told from her point of view, and since the book is obviously written by a woman, the sex scenes are not descriptive, but told analytically. Instead of feeling the peen, she spends seven paragraphs describing her reaction to the peen after the man takes an entire page to unzip his zipper. The pace is slow, boring, and predictable pages in advance. Worse, she spends two entire chapters -- 6 & 7 -- describing the details of her period, how that makes her feel like a "leaper" [sic], and how that messes up the contract with the men. It's pretty gross folks, remember: Patricia Heaton screaming at Ray on her period. Nothing gets a man erect quicker than the thought of that scene. Much of the book's content is spent with her giving bj's to the men and walking around the mansion naked serving them food. Yeah, that's REALLY out there, really worth paying an old saggy woman a fortune for, don't you agree?
Finally, the story is wrapped up with the lead male, Kaelen, coming to her rescue in court and "fixing" things with the judge so that she gets her kids back. But even worse, hot, hung, rich millionaire Kaelen goes one further and asked her to marry him, with the two kids in tow. Holy frickin' crap, that's BAD ON AN EPIC SCALE. A complete waste of time and money, but I read it anyway just to warn people that if you're even thinking of buying this book, go watch the monster called Patricia Heaton on the ABC show, "The Middle," each week and you'll get a picture of what you're buying in Anna. Yuck. I feel dirty and I want an adult now.
