- No single word is going to derail your Sexy Train faster or more efficiently than "groping."
- Jeez, male gaze much?
- "Now why don't you sit up here on my desk?" "Wh-?" "Shhh. It's standard practice." "Uh, OK, I guess. But who's that?" "Him? Oh, that's just Steve. Ignore him." "Uh..." "Good, now whatever you do, do Not look at the lamp." "Bu-" "AVERT YOUR EYES!"
- The psychologist's suit is legit hot.
- Groups gone WILD {CRACK!}
- "Revolved achingly" = me trying to dine at one of them revolving restaurants, no sir, I'll take my food
- stationary, as god intended, thank you very much
- I love how this goes from dumb-ass sex fiction to super dumb-ass Agatha Christie mystery on a dime! Wait, we got a body!? I'm in.
"You met a girl?" Durango looked at him closely. Somehow he found himself believing the answer. "Where? What girl?"This novel has to be sexier than this dude Forrest Gumping his way through Sex Town. Hang on ... OK here we go:
"I picked her up on Broadway. She was standing in a doorway. A hooker. I went up to her place with her."
Her hands moved downward, over the tiny waist to the flat belly. She massaged the belly for a long time, moving farther downward slowly to the trembling mound beneath it. And then her fingers were nearing their target, the tips becoming slippery with the dew of passion they found there. They caught the tiny polyp of flesh awaiting them and stroking it.I can't stop laughing at that last "sentence." As with the cover copy, this writer really, really knows how to ruin whatever meager sex vibe he's able to get going. I mean, "polyp"? That's something you discover during a colonoscopy, why would you use it to describe the clitoris, dear lord? Am I really supposed to believe a woman wrote this? "Leslie" ... OK, Leslie, aside from possibly a fake name, could also be a dude's name. All I know is a guy wrote this. A guy whose grasp of grammar, like his grasp of sexiness, is not very, uh firm. ("... and stroking it"?)

(Welcome back? The above comment is dated Sept. 2018 but I don't seeing recall the cover...)
Either way I've really missed your snarky comments.
The plot for this book sounds amusingly similar to "The Color Of Night", the thriller starring Bruce Willis as a psychiatrist filling in for a violently murdered group doctor colleague. One of the patients unsurprisingly is in fact the killer who then menaces more of the group (and Willis).
Is this a common problem, do you think? (*wink*)
The movie is kind of remembered for Willis' unexpected full-frontal nudity.
