Did you just say, "rode her hard and put her away wet? Is that back now? I can't even believe you'd put that in a romance novel. Even when it seemed like some good thing would happen during the sex, like some interesting or exciting part was going to appear He almost had her divested of the slacks, but couldn't prevent himself from pausing to run his thumb up the damp satin-covered furrow of her sex.

It just goes nowhere and the author just drops the whole thing. She's a rank beginner, and you've been around the block a time or two, his ego whispered. You gonna let her lead you around by the dick? He lowered himself alongside her and set out to demonstrate who was boss. He poured on the expertise, kissing her until she panted, touching her until she moaned. Just when I would have wanted more details from Andersen - expertise?

Perhaps that's for the best, though, it seems her "details" end up in disaster. And that's another thing. See how Devlin just called Jane "a rank beginner? What is up with that? She's not a virgin. I was just kind of confused by this part. I mean, I understand she can count her sexual partners on one hand and that she "hasn't done this in a while" whatever THAT means but Devlin's always talking about her as if she's Never seen a penis before or something?

This whole plotline was a bit confusing. And when she's rationalizing having a "fling" with Devlin, Jane says now she can "gain firsthand experience with sexuality and all the emotional grizz that went with it. I'm not really understanding this. Besides the ugly I've already covered calling Jane a cocktease for kissing him but not having sex with him, men are revolted by the idea of marriage and kids , we have much more.

Cutting Loose

She comes to eat lunch with him and her brothers. She brings a salad. Apparently, this is not acceptable, and the brothers decide she must eat some corned beef and cabbage. He set his own meal on the table, took a seat next to Jane and turned his head to look at her. If a woman wants to eat a salad for lunch Then she has a right to eat a fucking salad for lunch. You have no right to comment on it, much less force or guilt her into eating whatever crap you THINK she should be eating.

I have a zero-tolerance policy for this shit. Anyone who tries to control a person's eating is on my shit list, big time. Whether you're trying to get her to eat more or less, it's controlling and disgusting. Any man who tells me what to eat, what not to eat, or when to eat loses an appendage any chance of kissing me ever again.

Lastly, Andersen sets up our next book by making Poppy and the detective, Jason, fight with each other and hate each other. Because fighting and hatred are signs that two people are attracted to each other. If I get into an argument with a man, it means completely the opposite of "I want to have sex with him.

We meet all three of the women, get an overview of their stories, and a bang-up job on setting the stage for book two.

But, back to basics—the first heroine is the smart one, Jane. However she has a good reason! Her home life growing up an only child taught her to be afraid of passion. Our hero, Devlin, on the other hand, grew up in the midst of a huge Irish Catholic brood. His efforts to escape the constant lack of privacy led him to take on the life of a wanderer, crewing on yachts all over the world. Although he and Jane are instantly attracted, their initial meeting is considerably less than auspicious. I enjoyed the richness of the scenery for this story. I also learned a bit about curating museum exhibits and the fascinating array of objects that modern museums showcase.

I was also drawn into the hints of mystery and possible danger scattered throughout the plot. I think my husband will be VERY happy with me! View all 8 comments. Sep 10, Adam rated it did not like it Shelves: After my fourth in a row trashy romance novel I have decided that this book could really use some constructive criticism. I am going to point out the problems with it and give my reccommendations of how to make it better. Three really annoying girls are taken under the wing of a crotchety old millionaire socialite woman with a mansion who inevitably takes a shine to said annoying girls, gives them diaries to write in, and several years later dies and leave the girls the man After my fourth in a row trashy romance novel I have decided that this book could really use some constructive criticism.

Three really annoying girls are taken under the wing of a crotchety old millionaire socialite woman with a mansion who inevitably takes a shine to said annoying girls, gives them diaries to write in, and several years later dies and leave the girls the mansion. To make matters more complicated the main character Janey is supposed to oversee the massive art collection left to a museum. Solution- Make it a haunted mansion, kill off the women in the first three chapters and do the reader the service of not having to continue reading.

Problem- Horrible diary entries. The girls are given diaries to keep brilliant thoughts in and, lucky us, we get to read them. What's in the entries? Things like, "Poppy said that thongs were comfortable but she was so wrong. Never doing that again. Problem- The men are supposed to be hyper-masculine stereotypes but should be interior decorators or fashion designers.

The main love interest is supposed to be a burly, drunken Irish construction worker sailor guy. What does this guy notice about Janey, the main character? He says to her, "I don't like all this fru-fru decoration in here. He also knows what shade "butter cream gold" is. Solution- Let the guy decorate and then he will have less angst about his romantic attachments. Problem- Romantic dialogue that is not. Some examples of dialogue, "I don't think this love seat was made for 3. Especially when one of us has such impressively curvey hips. It's ok, everyone does it.

Problem- Lame bad guy. The guy who turns out to be evil, spends more money in one month on manicures than Janey does in a whole year. His evil motive for stealing stuff from the mansion? He wants to be a poker star on tv. He has friends, "from the hood" but exfoliates his cheeks every Saturday. Solution- Get a bad guy less involved with skincare. Problem- Over use of the expression "Really jazzed.

Solution- Get a thesaurus. Problem- Extremely unromantic gifts. What does the construction guy, Devlin use to express his love? He gives Janey a pair of green parachute pants. That is how she knows he loves her. Solution- Get out of the 's. Problem- Bad song quotes. The guy acutally says to Janey, "Our future is so bright we gotta wear shades. Problem- I listened to this whole book.

Pre-listen guess Oh man, this is gonna be so lame. View all 14 comments. Apr 26, Arleday rated it did not like it Shelves: Never even made it to chapter Here is the beginning of the conversation which didn't improve later on , that made me realise that Jane REALLY likes to make a big deal out of small things a drunk guy in a bar?

He went to the can, anyhow. So why are you cursing? Jan 27, Leah rated it it was ok Shelves: I read the second book of this series, Bending the Rules , before I knew that it was part of a series. So, I was anticipating reading Cutting Loose and totally falling for them.

Well, as I'm sure you can tell from my rating, this was not the case. I immediately disliked Jane. From the first moment she saw Dev saw , not met , she was judgmental and harsh without even knowing all the facts. And she continued to be that way for a great while. And, while I am glad to say that this tendency to misjudge people before she meets them eventually died down, she continued to suffer from a very tragic ailment that often infects and takes root in romance heroines: Too Stupid To Live Syndrome.

Oh, and she was a bitch. Let's not forget that. All the way up until the last thirty pages or so when she finally realizes she loves Dev, Jane was Super Bitch.

cut (someone or something) loose

I'm not sure about other people, but I cannot abide that in my heroines. Now, Dev is a completely different story. Well, not completely different but, nonetheless, not the same. I actually liked him in the beginning and at other parts throughout the novel. But, what lessened my opinion of him--aside from the fact that he fell for Jane--was that he often sounded like a pussy, whether it was things he actually said or thought or described from his point of view.

He paid an inordinate amount of attention to Jane's shoes.

That's just not normal. And I felt that he overly described things a lot of the time.

Cutting Loose (Sisterhood Diaries, #1) by Susan Andersen

Now, I know it's stereotypical to say that no man would pay attention to such detail, but let's face it. Devlin was, quite obviously, not gay. So, let's man up here, buddy. Poppy and Ava are two characters I actually still like. Maybe it's because these two weren't the focal points in this sucktastic disaster, but I think I just like them in general. And, of course, I still think Jason the detective investigating the robberies is uber sexy.

He's clearly intelligent, too, since he was the only one who seemed to suspect Gordon.

Never mind that he's a detective and that's his job. And the scene with Poppy and Jason going head-to-head? No joke, that was my favorite part of the whole book. It kind of makes me want to reread their book. Despite the fact that this completely bombed for me, I am still very excited to read Playing Dirty when it comes out on July 26th. I can't wait to see what happens with Ava and Cade!

Dec 26, Anita rated it really liked it Shelves: I broke my rule and read this series out of order - or - maybe not. This book seems very familiar, but if I read it, I did it a really long time ago. So, I'll just finish. I remembered all the high points of the plot, but have no memory of the main characters.
