You all remember the last Ravenous Romance review by Dear Author? Remember the swinging schlong in the bathroom and the random medieval time-traveling codpiece of doom? Remember the ladyfingers?

Now, there's a m/m book including burping cocks, cocks that unroll like paper towels and more. Even I cannot bring myself to read the actual book though the review had tears streaming down my face. (and omg, there are screencaps to prove the insanity)

Also - there's another review that contains a certain region of a female body as an "afro". wow, yeah, that just happened.

Remind me to never, ever, buy anything from this publisher ever. Also - remind me to not even contemplate submitting to them for publishing. HOMG BAD.

Now off to bed.

Oh, dear Lord save me.

Burping cock is just about the squickiest thing ever to take up residence in my brain. I mean, the writer just compared a cock to a --

oh! I picked up a free e-book from them a few weeks ago and thank god I didn't pay for it! It was horrid - the writing was terrible, the sex was not hot (I don't like my dubcon to be of the date-rape resigned variety), and the plot was clumsy and predictable.

I read the first 20 pages, then scrolled through to the end and read the last 5 pages just to see what happened.

I'm not surprised their other stuff is just as bad, since this was a feature story.

They really are. I'm never going to buy those books but oh man. The lulz. Jane always seems so shocked to see that they're just that bad.

LMFAO! That was my reaction. I went from horror (OMG BURPING COCK) to laughter (OMG HONEY COCK) in like two breaths. Worst part was that I was reading these at work and trying, rather desperately, not to laugh.

inorite? omg. They're hilarious (the reviews, not the books).

I sort of want the reviewers there to keep putting themselves through these books just to get the lulz of a review.

oh man. You actually have a book? LOLOLOLOLOL Free is still too expensive *winks*

Yeah, these people. IDK - from the beginnign of their marketing the whole way through - it's been a suckfest.

I've read some brilliant m/m books lately. I'm just glad that someone else read these books so I didn't have to :D

Inorite? GAH. That dreck like that can even be published makes me want to cry. There are so many better books out there that are getting published, though. I also like to take hope out of the fact that dreck can get published... gives me a chance to keep working on my own stuff. Which will hopefully not be dreck.
