Title: Afterburn is not your typical romance
Review: My first Zane book was easy to read and I devoured her chapters full of hot sex and adult romance. However, I detested the ending and wished Zane had not tried to mimic non-fiction themes into a really good piece of fiction writing.If I wanted a lesson on relationship behavior or to be preached at, a novel being sold as "erotic literary fiction" is not where I turn to first.That's also why I purposely do not read Oprah approved fiction because I know these books can't just be about happy people doing happy things. No, someone's gotta be miserable or die but most of all, the reader's emotions have to be pulled at by reading about misery and suffering leaving us in tears. There's always a lesson to be learned, moral or otherwise.I really could have done without the dose of reality seeping into my fatasy erotica. Without it, the book would have gotten five stars. With it, it gets 4.
