Beautiful Force by Ella Quinn.

Allison is a sex psychotherapist and tries to help her patients while pleasing her own desires. This is the story about control and how sometimes men have the upper hand but at others it is women who hold all the cards.

This novel starts off with such promise, maybe exploring the work of a sex psychotherapist and the many problems the patients present. Peoples' sexual lives differ greatly and we can all be voyeurs as we wonder what goes on behind closed doors. Maybe this book will reveal some of those secrets and present answers to problems within sexual relationships.

WRONG. Beautiful Force is one of the worse books that I have read. There are just two main characters, Allison the sex psychotherapist and Channing a patient. It does cover Allison's relationship with her father and other patients plus their spouses.

Ella's writing is dreary and all her characters ramble on in long boring conversations. The sessions of psychotherapy drone on and on. There is very little action, it is unrealistic and simply a tease that Allison may be some wonderful sex guru who takes her patients litterally in her own hands to cure their problems. Will her patients who have lost their libido turn on her with animalistic desire or will the reader fall asleep in an armchair? If you think this novel could be a sexual turn on, think again because it is like counting sheep.

Beautiful Force could not even class as erotic. What sex there is appears pedestrian and vanilla. There is no plot as such although the ending is no great surprise as Ella has drip thread the possibilities from the very start when she dedicated her book to having a second chance. I do not suggest you give Beautiful Force one chance but give it a MISS. I took nothing away from this book and will not be reading another of Ella Quinn's novels.

Beautiful Force is 298 KB of waffle that is an absolute bore that was written in 2012. It is like listening to one side of a conversation on a mobile telephone as a passenger on a coach drones on and on for the whole goddamn journey.
