It is feasible for an affection scene to be composed elegantly, yet with enough detail to really keep the peruser locked in. I wound up suffocating in shabby doublespeaks.AliceofX wrote: ↑01 Sep 2018, 02:58 To me, that was the most cringe-inducing part of the book. I can't stand when writers try to be all literary and use phrases like, "openly displaying his manly attributes," and, "She was a tight bud opening to his heat." Just use adult words for goodness sake.

But maybe that's just me. Maybe that would have made the book too adult. What did you think?
What did you think of the erotic scenes?

In the case of erotic scenes, I don't mind them if they're done in moderation. And when they are done, I prefer them to be as realistic as the characters themselves. Adult talk--sex is messy and awkward and weird, so to have a 'perfect, poetic' moment is highly unrealistic.
That being said, in a book like this, I feel like it fits. The author is a good writer, with a tendency to be a bit flowery in language. So the erotic scenes made sense to be a bit flowery, too. No pun intended.
