This had such potential to be a very hot read. Unfortunately, the cheesiness and stupidity played a big part in ruining the story. One of the dudes Gracie gets down with asks her to marry him at the end of their interlude AND she accepts? Soooooo stupid and unrealistic. Also, I hate when authors have the opportunity to write realistic and exciting sex, but they settle for the same tropes over and over again. Yes, some women orgasm very easily but most do not and most do not from mere penetration. And when a newbie has anal sex, I guarantee there's a big disgusting mess unless she has prepared for it ahead of time with a laxative or other means. When Banks writes this kind of insipid sex that is trying to be risque, she comes off as more of a novice than her characters, and probably contributes to more women (because men are unlikely to read this crap) getting set up for major disappointment and embarrassment. And also, there was no chemistry between Gracie and Luke. I call for a do-over, because the concept was great but the follow-through poor.
