After reading the synopsis
I expected a totally different book than what it turned out to be. Yes
there was a love story between Shannon and Eric but it was buried deep.
There were so many side
stories it was sometimes hard to keep track of who was doing what with
whom. There was drug dealing, cheating, prostitution, just plain old
manipulation and it all revolved around a matchmaking agency in the Los
Angeles area.
Exotica Zone
was more of a straight fiction novel with some sex thrown in for good
measure. The characters were pretty well developed but the story stalled in
places. The title of the book doesn’t give a good indication of the story
either – since it refers to the erotica book written by Eric, which is one
of the smallest developed relationships of this story.
If you like a good old
fashioned who did what and how the you’ll probably enjoy this book, but if
you’re looking for a love story you’re definitely looking in the wrong
place.
