This book is only in Mini-Reviews because I didn't want to write a five page essay on fat rep, unnecessarily evil villains, and unsexy sex. So, pretend I did all of that, and feel free to find me on Twitter or via email for specifics.

The heroine is fat, and I don't believe she hates herself. However. Everyone around her hates her for being fat (or at the very least, hates her fat) except for the hero, who seems to have a fat fetish. She never gets to just be a person. She's not simply beautiful, she's beautiful in spite of/because of her weight.

Don't get me started on the hero's father, who is cartoon villain levels of E-V-I-L. He kills the hero's horse. WHY?! Because the hero loved it.

Aaaaanyway, there's also the part where the author repeatedly uses the word "quim," which is worse than "moist" in my book. (Give me a lovely "cunt" any day.) There's no real connection between the hero and heroine, just sex that I didn't find sexy.

Overall, I'm giving this one a big 'ole pass. When it didn't actively hurt to read, it was boring.

Suzanne received a copy of this book from the publisher for review via NetGalley.… (meer)

An erotic novel, sensual and well written, compared to others I have read. There was actual building of the characters. Patience Emery was big and curvy, unsure of herself, drawn (pardon the pun-Read the book, you will see) into this relationship with the Marquess Of Ashcroft (Giles).

The book is about passion and is steamy, the acts wonderfully described. Willful Depravity as erotic romance, yes but as an adult erotica, maybe not so much.

I received this ARC in exchanged for an honest review.… (meer)
