A review by ranaelizabeth
Rode Hard, Put Up Wet by Lorelei James
Did not finish book.
Okay, I usually don't review or even include these types of books on here, the most graphic of graphic erotica. Not everybody needs to know all my business, ya know?
But I am breaking my own rule and doing a review of sorts. First, this book is trash, not because it is graphic erotica but because it is trash. It's homophobic, misogynistic trash. Sometimes I can overlook that but I'm realizing that there is a ton of really good, really amazing graphic erotic that isn't trash. That is written with an emphasis on characters and their humanity and their relationships, that is written with consent in mind, that is written with sensitivity and feeling. This is not it. This is horrid. I've read the first and recently purchased (I KNOW!!!!) several more in the series but half-way through this one, I just couldn't do it. It's just fucking trash.
If anybody wants to know what broke me? It was reading this amazing post by KJ Charles (who you should all be reading if you want incredibly well-written graphic erotica) yesterday and realizing that trash is just trash, no matter how many dicks are involved. And then it was super early in this book when one of the women made a comment about how she should have known that her ex-boyfriend "played for the other team" because he had a "pussy name like Daunte". Fuck you, you piece of trash.
So, basically this is a review that says that there is no shame in reading erotica but there is a ton of shame in reading homophobic, misogynistic trash. I highly recommend [a:KJ Charles|7123498|K.J.

Seriously, lots and lots of better authors than this piece of trash.
