The incredible shrinking man... Seriously, why is he suddenly 5’4”?
I am not a prude. I have no problem reading sex scene’s that include BDSM, orgies, and bisexuality. I do have a problem reading a story that is plotless. There was no point to this novella. It simply rehashed all of the issues Anita has, but it was written as if we haven’t heard her whine about the same things for the past few books. We know Anita is juggling to many men. We know she’s still not completely comfortable with her poly lifestyle. We know she likes is crazy rough. We know she's not really into women. The sex scene’s weren’t even hot to me, they were formulaic. With all her rotating lovers you’d think it would be different every time, but the sex scene’s just feel cut/paste/insert name here, to me. This “story” was an excuse for Anita to include women in her sexual rolodex. But I got the feeling Ms Hamilton didn’t even bother to at least watch some lesbian porn before watching this. At one point the discussed women tasting like meat or fish. I couldn’t help but laugh. I’m so over Anita and her crew acting like there is something wrong with anyone who doesn’t want pain with sex, and who isn’t into a poly lifestyle. The characters have become just as preachy and annoying as their vanilla counterparts. Its hard to take anything they say as anything other that ridiculous and condescending especially since almost all the these pain loving poly characters have suffered serious trauma, and would be better suited on a therapists couch not Jean Claude giant sex bed. Anita had the nerve to not go back to therapy with one of her lovers, but instead introduce new sex partners to them. How exactly is that going to help someone heal from their physical and mental abuse? All that being said I will probably be conned into reading the next book when it comes out. The except from Dead Ice seemed interesting. A new foe will be introduced and there may actually be a story and some action outside of the bedroom. Ugh, Anita why can’t I quit you...
