I didn't read Mills and Boon as a teenager and I'm not reading this tosh now. There's tons of well written erotica around if that's what people are into.

Yep, totally agree. My DH is trying to convince me to read it, but I think I'd end up throwing it at him if it's as badly written as some have said :giggle:

I never read mills and boon as a teenager either, was i supposed to? I always thought mills and boon was supposed to be granny porn :lookround:

(I apologise, bloody phone won't, under any circumstances, capitalise that second I!)

I bought the first one from the Kindle Store. I didn't even get as far as the naughty bits, the writing annoyed me so much I got a refund.

You can get an out of warranty replacement for £40-50. This is what I did a few months ago when my husband tried to wrench post c-section me out of the bath and drowned my first Kindle in the ensuing tsunami.

Mills and boon......have never read one in my life lmao. I am quite enjoying the story that's evolving though. Sure its an easy read, but that's not always a bad thing for a bit of escapism. Its not normaly my kind of thing either but its not the worst thing I've ever read by a long shot. :-)

I don't mind the odd bit of chick lit or trashy fiction, but cheesy erotica makes me giggle. The appalling writing in Twilight made me want to scream, so i think I'm going to be a book snob too, and ignore this one.

Am very amused by all the hype it's getting though! Particularly when some unsuspecting soul mentions it on fb and asks if it's a good read cos of all the publicity, then has it explained that it's soft porn :hohoho:
