For a first novel this was a great effort, especially with how difficult it is to write erotica. People react viscerally to some words used in this context and it ruins the fantasy. For me, this happened so many times in this book it was unreal. I hate "cream" and "juices" and "arrowed straight to my crotch" and "crotch" in general. The amount of times certain adjectives were repeated was astounding. The positive is the author did have distinct characters and she did work through issues in her main character. I think she could be a really good author someday but today is not that day. Do not read this if cheating triggers you or dubious consent.
