Not impressed, honestly. I was looking forward to a fun erotica book, and got...I don't know what. Unfortunately, cannot recommend.

This was one I did not finish.
I found the whole story far fetched, repetitive and in turn boring.
This just was not for me.

Well I really don’t know what to say about this book, but I have only managed to read 15% of it and I’ve had to give up on it. I really don’t like giving up on books, but this one beat me. I skimmed a bit further on with the book and it was just more of the same.

The synopsis for this book really interested me. I’ve enjoyed many erotic/romance books is the past, but this book was so boring that I found that I couldn’t actually concentrate long enough to read a couple of pages at a time.

Jeremy lives on a tropical island on his own, he is very wealthy so the money he has spent on having hidden cameras placed all over his mansion and the island is inconsequential to him. He has a secret room off of his bedroom suite, it’s actually a voyeur room where he can watch the six women that he vetted from numerous women who applied to his advert.

He doesn’t need to stay in his voyeur room as the cameras are motion sensitive and they also automatically record everything so he will never miss a thing, or he can keep replaying parts he likes.

The six women vary in age fro 18 to 30, and the majority of the women are also bisexual, so he puts the women in to pairs so he can see exactly what they get up to. Basically to me this book is about a peeping Tom, and the sex scenes that I did read were very tame and dull.

Due to what I have said above I can honestly only give this book 1 star. I would give it less is I was able to, as it was such a huge disappointment and I won’t be reading anymore in this series.

DNF at 1%. Yes, seriously. This book is a trainwreck. In the copyright, Jeremy notes "This book was published thanks to free support and training from EbookPublishingSchool.com." Either this is a really bad service or Jeremy didn't study enough, and if that website is worth anything at all this is really bad publicity for them. The formatting is absolutely atrocious, with broken paragraphs, missing sentences, and typos. As an example, here's how the text appeared appeared on my Kindle tablet:

"With their detailed photographs archived on biographies and several
my computer server, I decided to take one final look at the collection of women before departing."

A few paragraphs later:

"The inquiries flood in and then the applications. Going over them resulted in rejected, but then it promptly
Requests three-fourths being got much tougher.
for additional information, including photographs, were sent out and a result, some of the applicants replied."

A few paragraphs later:

"A glorious, sexy melange of Spanish and Asian
A glorious, sexy melange of Spanish and Asian year-old who worked as a title processor for a real estate agency in the San Diego area."

Is this an erotica aimed at consenting adults or pedophiliacs? Does "Asian year-old" equal a year-old Asian? Because if not, this is a seriously unfortunate typo. But kudos on that infant getting a job as a title processor. That's some mad skills, yo!

I give up. This book is unreadable garbage, and there's no way I'm suffering through what looks like 570 more pages of this crap. Jeremy, if you're serious about writing, man, hire an editor. Hire somebody to format your books. Do better.

I wanted to like this book. I really did.

Grammatical errors, incomplete sentences, formatting errors and repeating the same information over and over from the characters stopped me from finishing it.

Island Fever
By Jeremy DCP

1 star

Slow to build tension.

I question which genre this title belongs in. Probably best located in erotica, because there is so little plot.

What character development there is seems a filler between sex scenes.

The whole story line needs tightening and the book edited for cohesion and fluency.

This is supposedly the first in a series. It will require the sexual content to sell titles if the story is anything to go by.

Six gorgeous women. One mysterious man. Alone together in an escape to paradise.

Jeremy lives alone on an island and is looking for love. He decided to bring women to him to find the woman of his dreams. The premise of the book is kind of "Bachelor" meets "Paradise Hotel" meets a lot of sex. However, reading the book is a struggle. Each chapter contains a huge summary of information we already know. Jeremy's thought process seems fake. Every chapter, Jeremy loves a different girl. As a reader, it's hard to feel connected to any of the characters. Plus, there are way too many selling, grammar, and formatting errors to count.

Was so looking forward to reading this but it was all over the place with incomplete sentences and grammatical errors that I quit trying to make sense of it.....sorry sounded like it would of been a good read

This book has too many grammatical error, shallow plot, creepy character. No chemistry whatsoever.

I thought it will offer at least a great storyline or good character background and development. But nope, it just sexual act all the way and how the leading male character choose his favorite by the sexual activity they engaged with.

Thank you netgalley for free copy in exchange of honest opinion.

DNF. Unfortunately this book's grammatical errors were too frequent to properly read the story and provide meaningful feedback. Thanks NetGalley for the ARC.

I originally declined reviewing this book, due to knowing how much hard work goes into writing a book and not wanting to deter other readers.

However, the more and more I've thought about it, I was given this book for an honest review, so why not hold up my end of the bargain?

I will admit, as a bisexual women myself, that is the first thing that drew me to this story. It was also the least enjoyable part of the plot.

This is clearly a book written by a man for men. I felt violated by the content on behalf of the women. How dare Jeremy judge these ladies when he is so despicable.

I love a book that makes me feel, but not when every feeling I have is negative. This is a big no for me, sorry.

This book is a good read but feels very male centred as a lot of the fantasies in it revolve around all the women wanting to please the man which is a bit sad. I wish there was more women in the book who were not in a hurry to pleasure the only male in the book apart from one but it didn’t stop me enjoying the book.

This book was absolutely riddled with grammatical errors and incomplete sentences. Beyond that, the protagonist was absolutely creepy, watching people have sex via cameras installed in bathrooms. I do not recommend grabbing a copy of this.

This was not for me at all, no chemistry, no sizzle, found the writing to be repetitive and very simple almost immature. I found this to have no appealing features at all unfortunately and wouldn’t recommend at all. Looking at other reviews it must be just me as others love his books, but a big no from me

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion
