TAINT is the first book in the Sexual Education series
by S.L. Jennings. The
reason why I wanted to read this book was mainly because of the
blurb. I
was hoping TAINT would be a liberating read that was sexy and
dirty
and all those good things. However the hero, Justice Drake came
across as
too arrogant, too crude, and just plain old mean. When a woman
asks what
she would do because her husband is cheating on her, Justice
tells her to
pretend to be dumb because men like to be wanted and in order
to stroke
that ego of theirs, women need to be stupid to keep their men
from looking
for other woman. This is not something I agree with and thus, I
found it very
hard to like Justice and his "teachings."
In his romance with Allison, I was hoping for some redemption,
that Justice
would fall head over heels in love with her and that Allison
would make him
see women in a healthier light, but Allison's character was
lackluster
and mindless, providing no real change in Justice. In the end,
I found that I
wasn't invested in their romance and actually ended up
disliking Justice's
character very much.
TAINT was not what I expected. I will say that if you have a
strong belief in
women's rights and equality, then Justice's view may clash with
your opinions as it did
with me.
However, Justice's male POV is refreshing; it just not might be
for everyone.
This no-holds barred, sexy New York Times bestseller pushes
the envelope like no other novel has as it spins the
titillating, enticing tale of one man who teaches women
everything they need to know to make their partners happy in
the bedroom…while making their own wildest fantasies come true.
Right now, you're probably asking yourself two things: Who
am I? And, what the hell are you doing here? Let's start
with the most obvious question, shall we?
You're here, ladies, because you can't f*ck.
Oh, stop it. Don't cringe. No one under the age of 80
clutches their pearls. You might as well get used to it,
because for the next six weeks, you're going to hear that
word a lot. And you're going to say it a lot. Go ahead, try
it out on your tongue. F*ck. F***ck. Ok, good.
Now where were we? If you enrolled yourself in this program
then you are wholly aware that you're a lousy lay. Good for
you. Admitting it is half the battle. For those of you that
have been sent here by your husband or significant other,
dry your tears and get over it. You've been given a gift,
ladies.
The gift of mind-blowing, wall-climbing,
multiple-orgasm-inducing sex. You have the opportunity to
f*ck like a porn star. And I guarantee, you will when I'm
done with you.
And who am I? Well, for the next six weeks, I will be your
lover, your teacher, your best friend, and your worst enemy.
Your every-f*cking-thing. I'm the one who is going to save
your relationship and your sex life.
I am Justice Drake.
And I turn housewives into whores. Now...who's first?
