I haven't succumbed (sp?) and read it.
Has anyone? Is it as cheesy and horrible as it sounds?

You're like rainman or something Patrick.
It's a piece of erotic fiction that, I am told, ladies everywhere are reading.
Apparently it's the story of two one-dimensional people who shag a lot.

I know! Some of those look suspiciously brown to me too! I like the Man version myself; "50 Sheds of Grey"  Being of the sweet and innocent sort, I wouldn't dare!! |

I think she finished it though.  I'm not keen on that sort of book - surely it gets boring after a while? Give me Sophie Hannah any day. I've read all hers - they're excellent. |

Haven't read it. Don't intend to. It sounds dire. Evidence: “Why does he have such an unnerving effect on me? His over-whelming good looks maybe? The way his eyes blaze at me? The way he strokes his index finger against his lower lip? I wish he'd stop doing that.” “I gasp, and I'm Eve in the Garden of Eden, and he's the serpent, and I cannot resist.” “This is a man in need. His fear is naked and obvious, but he's lost. . . Somewhere in his darkness. His eyes wide and bleak and tortured. I can soothe him. Join him briefly in the darkness and bring him into the light.” “He grabs me suddenly and yanks me up against him, one hand at my back holding me to him and the other fisting in my hair. "You're one challenging woman," He kisses me, forcing my lips apart with his tongue, taking no prisoners. "It's taking all my self-control not to fuck you on the hood of this car, just to show you that you're mine, and if I want to buy you a fucking car, I'll buy you a fucking car," he growls.”
Don't read that, watch this. If anyone would like a good story about dominance/submission love, watch Secretary. Excellent film.  |

I think it's 4 quotes that I yanked together over a car boot and bit my lip expactently. Holy Shit! (That's a bit of a catchphrase used in the book, I gather, it's not my choice of expletive) Holy Shit, let's all talk like 50 shades of gray, she growled alluringly, her hair tugging at the glowering sky. |

I think it's "Holy crap."
It's all in the present tense so I wouldn't read it anyway, even if it wasn't crap.
Our lass's sister read it because a friend of hers had, and wanted to go over how awful it was with her.
I quite like some written porn, but this looks bad - porn for people who reckon they don't like porn.
Weirdly, it's much more abusive - to the woman - than most porn is. BDSM is about power, but not like this

I will try and get the photographic evidence soon...from inside her bedroom. Her best friend Gloria lent her a copy... Before this sorry stage it was at worst Jilly Cooper.  |

My (then) 80something Nan would lust after Dermot Murnaghan.  "The things I could do with him!" she'd say.  |
