I've never read erotica before, but I think it's safe to say that this is one of the really good ones out there. The sex scenes are hot without being overboard or uncomfortable. Megan Hart also does a fantastic job developing the characters: Sadie may be a little generic (though still relatable) due to her narrator status, but Adam is a well realized portrait of a brilliant man trapped inside a useless body, and Joe, while originally enigmatic, is also consistent enough from escapade to escapade that he becomes appreciatively real.

If you're reading this for the sex scenes, the in-between plot can feel a bit slow, but that's also what makes this book so much more than simply literary porn: we become actually invested in the characters and do not think of them as simply sex objects. If you're looking for good characterization and a good plot, pick up BROKEN, with its classy-not-trashy writing and plot. You'll want to pass this around to your open-minded friends so that you can enjoy this together.
