I had been wanting to read a book by this author for a very long time. I love her book covers, its true a book cover really does sell a book. For me its one-word titles and book covers. If you can tell an entire story with one word, I'm there. So, Consequences, we all know what that is. Claire Nichols is the main character. She is a bartender in a small nonconsequential, (LOL) bar. A customer, one Anthony Rawlings, asks her to have a drink with him after her shift.  Next thing she knows, she suspects that he drugged her, she wakes in a very nice luxury bedroom in a place she doesn't know. The door is locked, she has no means for escape and she is terrified. She must learn to play his game in order to survive. He is very violent in his punishments. Now this is where I got a little perturbed. The author only  alludes  to the beatings. She alludes to the suffering. This is plugged as a dark erotica. Ok, those of us who read this gen...

It's been awhile since I updated you on the dating front... well there's not much to say really. The married man is gone, his lame excuse... "You are just too far away." Ok, got the hint, "You just aren't worth the effort." Loud and clear! Met Tall guy. Actually in person. Very nice guy, very very nice. I think too nice really, for me. I am a rotten sexual being and he is... a little sexually repressed I think?  Have no idea with this one, he was falling in love one day, wanting to be the best boyfriend I ever had and dumped me the next (well a few days later. It all happened in the course of a couple of weeks... What the hell is it with me? Again, I would say to the guys out there: Be honest. Be open. We are adults not children. If you can't handle breaking it off with someone with some honesty, then don't date. Maybe its a misunderstanding, miscommunication. After all you are both new to each other. Fuck, give it at least a conversation...
