About this deal

Faithless is a complicated story. I expect many of you will LOATHE Mark, but I also expect some of you to pity him. Fifteen miserable years later, and Mark still has yet to forgive her. Each night, he doles his punishment out, humiliating her by sleeping with numerous young women under the noses of their family and friends. Whitney knows that she’s not perfect, however even sinners deserve to keep a shred of their dignity.

Skyler Mason has written a story that shows just how your upbringing and parents influence can effect your life. However when she looks into those stern dark eyes, this ache pulls at the pit of her stomach. She wants him to dominate her, and she wants to taunt him in return. Lauren has never been able to resist Camden, even when she knows she should really protect her heart. Because he still hates her, and this is just a temporary arrangement for him. So she cannot let this become more for her. This book had so much potential, truly sad.. it had this old school college book vibes like Beautiful Disaster, nerd and off campus series. It started off so damn well. Skyler Mason wrote a story that shows how her upbringing and the influence of her parents can affect her life. Shame” is a beautifully written romance novel that will leave readers feeling a range of emotions. Skyler Mason has once again proven herself as a talented storyteller, delivering a heartfelt and unforgettable tale.

She pulls a Britney and has taktok videos telling people about her experiences and then announces that she's going to dispose of this little hymen in 30 days. Vanessa story takes place 3 years after her sister Livvys book. Vanessa like her sister was raised in purity culture, and it’s had a negative impact on her life and how she views herself. Vanessa is a college student with a large tiktok following because of her Vidoes based on her religious beliefs, virginity, the toxicity of purity culture. She ultimately decides to lose her V card and made a titkok about it which drew a ton of male attention. This duet is connected to the “Purity” series, since Whitney and Mark are Cole’s parents in “Purity”. This was a new author to me and I received this as an Arc. I went in blind (as I do with most books) The one line on the cover drew me in. ‘Shes a sinner and im going to prove it’.

The character development throughout this was amazing to read. Both separately and together. They heal each other. They were so good together. Skyler Mason is a reader of romance novels first and foremost. As an author, her novels feature strong heroines that sometimes make their heroes cry, however just when they deserve it. Because after all, if a romance is not angsty, is it even worth it? The one thing this book has going for it is that it’s NOT a “she was a bet!” plot (even though, confusingly, it seems like it’s setting that up). From the start, the heroine is aware of the bet. So, there’s no angst or tension about “when will she find out?!” But….there’s also not much angst or stakes about anything! Early in the story, they mutually agree that he’ll be her choice to sleep with. So, the entire flow of the story is odd– no tension, and not much plot. Just the characters awkwardly orbiting around each other, after they’ve agreed that they’ll have sex. There is some alright dirty talk, but it feels sudden and random, like this story threw it in Just Because.Then she bumps into one of the other guys she’d considered. She realizes that H had told some fibs and manipulated her into dismissing this guy. The guy tries to tell her that H really cares about her but she’s triggered by his dishonesty and dumps him. The best time to read a book depends on your personal schedule and preferences. Here are some suggestions: I don’t know. It’s just not really a grovel. Is he sorry? I’m sure he is. His “grovel” is explaining things to her? I mean, apologies and explanations are a needed element in a grovel certainly I just expected more. It’s hard to prove to someone you won’t manipulate them anymore. A few conversations and a family dinner aren’t going to do the job. It’s time and effort and open honest communication to build trust slowly. Let h see him prove he’s not going to be manipulative over time, let him put in the effort to show she’s his number one priority. Let him sweat it out while she goes on an awful date that he doesn’t try to break up. Do I want h dating another man? No, but let her see H won’t try to manipulate his way into breaking up a date. I don’t even need h to have a good time with OM just to establish H means what he says. Then he can be there for her and they can laugh about her awful date together. Let her see that H can learn to communicate his feelings and concerns without manipulating her because it’s easier than explaining himself.

I am the target market here. I love the virgin/manwhore trope. Virginity bets are my thing. College romance is my favorite. I even identify with the Purity culture religious upbringing…. And yet… this was baaaaaaad We get lots of ‘youre mine’, desire, cravings, lust.. the sexual chemistry was 👌🏼 were also given a lot of praise kink and a little daddy too 😜 And then they on the beach getting sand up their butthole and other places but he slips his eggplant in and she's like OOP! And he's like OOPY-OOP! That be a hymen! And then she's all like "I gotta not be attached to the first person who takes my v" and he's all growly like "you mine. You not fuggin anyone else!" And the other obvious fact here is the exhibition of one’s feelings where everything is made public and therefore loses its importance.

No, all the stories in this novel are fictional. Are they making a movie on Shame by Skyler Mason ?

He’s an asshole to her after they have sex because he’s feeling vulnerable. He’s caught feelings at this point and she’s trying to make sure he knows she knows it’s just sex which hurts his feelings. He’s not a huge asshole but he’s an asshole all the same. However, He convinces her to keep sleeping together for three weeks so he can try to make her fall for him. It works. They decide to stay together. Skyler Mason Aww that makes me so happy that you love the characters. I love them too, flaws and all! it’s about some strict Christian believers that thinks that sex is only allowed in marriage, never before. So. I’m Italian grown up in a catholic culture and for Catholics sex is forbidden before marriage. Our mothers were very strict about it but thank god nature is stronger than nurture- at least in this case- and none of us girls reached the altar as a virgin. But I can understand it could have been traumatic for some girls that thought that sex was a sin and their emotions were wrong. Maybe some of us can’t have a normal and satisfying sex life because of this. The heroine is one of these girls. She wants to have a healthy sex life but she still feels shame for her reactions. So she decides to find a willing partner that would help her to get rid of her inhibitions and of her virginity. They have some major relationship struggles, with Logan feeling ignored. He desperately needs Leilani’s full attention, however he just cannot get it. He handles his struggles the way that any player would. He cheats on her.

I felt there was way too many tropes and other things added. It was chaotic. For example H had sex with men too. I was like what? Not that I am against it but it just felt coming from left field. Then him being manwhore, unable to love, tortured hero and player. Travel and tell no one, live a true love story and tell no one, live happily and tell no one, people ruin beautiful things. Before bedtime: Many people find that reading before bedtime helps them unwind and relax, which can promote better sleep.
