On almost the very day she turned 18, Cade developed a voracious appetite for her "sex." (Yeah, eww.) What grosses me out is this: this man who supposedly "loves" her is hell-bent on abusing and humiliating her. They are short, insightful and written by some of the best writers out there. There seems to be an abundance lately of these "musuem-in-a-box type" books. A lot of the facts are just common beliefs which, taken completely literally, aren't correct, which shouldn't be a big surprise. I was looking for a more modern take on the Pre-Raphaelites than this: there's a lot of weird stuff about "Englishness" that sounds very dated indeed now. The rumors had it at between 120 and 1,380. I see it as five stars since they both read and shared it and continued their love of reading.. Great stories. I now understand why Love Mode is a popular long running Yaoi series in Japan. The two are completely different and this book should NOT be relied on to accuratly portray the CMS based testing.
