Mini-Review: Beauty from Pain by Georgia Cates

Title: Beauty from Pain  
Series: Beauty #1
Author: Georgia Cates
Published: January 2013

Not recommended for younger readers due to sexual content and language

I am too lazy to write a review so here are the notes :D
-they talked about protection!!!
-FML not another stalker/enemy/serial killer *sigh*
-the Aussie talk seems a bit awkward
-all the euphemism for the clitoris are making me mental: bump, button, down there, nub, sweet spot[and I missed 1 or 2]
-what's with the BFF's brother?! He doesn't even know her and he acts like a grade A-ass
-oh he sure stuck his foot in
-yay, not a serial killer, but crazy ex who's stalking him now[don't know if it's actually better though]
-can we not act like 10 year olds about sex please?
-uhm, the next outburst like this I'm kicking him in the nuts!
-oooh, she said it and he's staring there like a monkey
-yes, dignity!
-this one is slow on the uptake...

Conclusion: Not too deep, but the setting was nice[vineyards in Australia and a beach in New Zealand] and unexpected, the characters don't act their age[I would give the chick 19, max 20[she's actually 23] and the guy about 25-26[he's 30]] and the supporting cast is really one-dimensional. However, they talked about condoms!!! and didn't really lie to each other so that made it a + in my book. I'll read on to see what happens.


PS: The cover made me read it, it's so very pretty!
