So. Ummm...yeah. I think we all know why I first expressed interest in this book. Would you just look at that cover??? Hard body with pecks like that? Mhmmmm. What woman with a pulse and a fully functional libido says no to that??? To say the least it's a sexy as hell cover and well...sex sells. This book was raw, somewhat strange at times, and also kind of scary. You know how a train wreck happens and it's horrible but you can't look away? That sums this book up pretty well.
Not that the book was horrible. It just wasn't for me.
It was filthy.
It was erotic for sure.
It was interesting. In a morbid kind of way.
To say the least it had my attention. I should state that before I even received this book I read the warning. Oh, yeah. The warning. "Warning: If you’re not a fan of dirty talk or dominant alpha males, “Her Web Master” may not be for you, but if you're looking for a filthy online boyfriend who will make your toes curl, meet Sophie’s mysterious Dom. ***If name-calling is not your thing or if you dislike graphic language, please do not review this book.***" The book comes with a friggin warning guys. So I did read the warning and I still picked up the book. Because honestly a book with a warning is bound to be more interesting right? Also because 1. I am a fan of dirty talk 2. I happen to like dominant alpha males and 3. I have never been bothered by name calling. None of these things normally bother me. I will say the name calling was more excessive than I expected. Normally, I'm a rather open minded person and someone calling a woman his filthy little slut or something like that whilst they bump ugliest is...whatever. Not a total turn on for me but not a turn OFF either. In this case though it bothered me some because it was SO excessive and not well done. It did seem more degrading than most books I have read, but if degradation is your thing you might like it. Go for it! I don't judge. Just the amount of it bothered me. It wasn't a simple name here or there. It was like a whole lot all at once and seemed poorly done. It was almost tacky the way it was executed. Quentin, the male lead seemed kind of like an ass but I seem to be really attracted to those so that never bothers me and he really did have some sweet moments so that softens me towards him a bit. The lead female character Sophie was not a character I liked. There is a fine line between submissive and doormat. Don't be a doormat. Her husband Spencer cheated on her for two years of their marriage and she just took it??? You either get the hell out or you get even, unless circumstances don't allow. That's just one persons opinion but I've always been more a fan of strong female leads that don't take shit from no man. If you give your life to a man just to have him throw it away so he can have sex with random chicks....I don't see why you should stay and if there is some reason you have to, I don't see why you should be faithful (unless the circumstances could be dangerous for you, which is not the case here). Then he tells you he wants a divorce over text and you let him get away with that? Hell no. Ignore the text then bake him a cake. With enough viagra in it for fifty men. The treatment for an erection lasting longer than four hours isn't pleasant for a man.
But her and Quentin seem good for eachother in a fucked up kind of way.
Be warned though that when I said this book is raw I meant it. This book is not for the faint of heart and it even put me off a bit and I can read Den of Vipers and Maya Banks books and not blink. This book is more than a little spanking so don't pick it up if you're not looking for any more than that or if you think it's like Fifty Shades. Probably would have seemed less meh had it been well written.
My overall rating is 2 Stars, because even though most of it was weird and confusing it was still funny, and kept me on my toes. I would only recommend this book to people really into BDSM. Also, remember the warning.
An advanced readers copy was provided to me by the publishers in exchange for a honest review. This has in no was effected my rating on this book or the overall review.
