Stripped really bitch?

I really wanted another story to read. I had read one, and it was okay. I wasn't moved, or overwhelmed emotionally by it. It was mild at best. I wasn't bowled over by the male lead. So I wanted something else. This other story Stripped was high on the reviews list. The cover was cheezy, and the whole 'ex stripper trying to change her life' story made me roll my eyes. But after starting about 5 stories that I didn't want to read I caved in around 11pm to read it. I customized the two male leads. They look the way they always do. This time they are Shane and Alex. Alex is the new boss when I moved to the new town,Shane is my mentor. Shane is a dick. A real grade A asshole. But gorgeous of course. Alex is tall and fine as hell too. But a cool guy, sweet, and flattering. Oh yeah really rich. 

Reading this thing became an endurance test for me. I was waiting for there to be some sex in the story; then I will go to bed. I at 10am have still not been to bed. 

The most annoying thing is that the author put up all these questions about the story that you could ask and she would answer. One of the questions was do we get to pick the guy we want to be with? She said yes. So I gave up on the sex (because it was never gonna happen) And get to the part where I choose who I want to be with and get my ending and go to bed. 

The more I read the more annoyed I got. Because Shane was becoming the center of the story but he was constantly fighting against feeling anything he was BORING AS FUCK! I can't even deal with that shit. What is the point of reading a story about a gorgeous man and he's not going to do anything? Not even fuck. There was a point where we ended up in a hotel bed together making out, him pinning me down and he starts thinking about people dying and then shuts down. No D. He keeps having these inner dialogues about how he might like me but I'm annoying. THE WHOLE STORY, and gets pissed when I am with Alex, but does nothing about it. In the meantime my roommate (who is still stripping) sees Shane at a party and becomes instantly obsessed with him. He's a fuck em forget em type. He makes it clear he isn't interested in her. She still chases after him. She shows up at my job over and over just to try and get next to him. Super thirst. 

A high school girlfriend of Alexes shows up who wants ad space on the radio so they are making a business deal, but she's trying to get next to him. She's aware that he and I are a thing. Tries to act innocent, but is secretly plotting against me. There is a girl in the finance department who is thirst bucket #1 for Shane as well. Women swoon everywhere he goes. I swoon too, but not in front of Alex. 

I take back the "I LOVE YOU" I said last night, I was out of my mind.

My roommate stalks Shane in the bushes....
I spent way too much of my brain space on Shane the asshole. Alex is ready to focus on me. He's a full time dad of the cutest 10 year old ever too. She takes to me right away too. I keep pushing him away and pining over Shane. Because we both had 'bad childhoods' so somehow because we were both abused I think we belong together. Wrong reason to be with someone. 

If anything this story pissed me the fuck off because it was almost glamorizing the whole chasing after the bad boy and shitting on the good guy mentality. I got so annoyed. I hung in 10 hours and paid $7 for extra tickets so I could pick the nice dude and sail off into the sunset. The story ends while we are talking over drinks after work. Shane is in a car and a guy is holding a gun on him. I was so angry!!!

But now to think of it, before the last chapter there was a warning about a glitch. Maybe that was the glitch? I was deliriously tired (am) and I got no ending?!?!?!?!?!

Makes me not want to read ever again.
