Things You'll Need:
- Erotic romance novel
- Computer
- Word processing program
-
Step 1
Read the book cover to cover. There are reviewers who think nothing of skimming erotic romance books, especially if for some reason a particular scene makes them cringe or offends their sensibilities, or they don't care for the story line or the author's writing style. Any book reviewer worth his salt knows that there are going to be books he'd rather not read; however, he is still obligated to do so.
-
Step 2
Jot down a quick list of what you liked about the story. It is important to be specific and to be totally honest with yourself. Anyone can say she liked the bedroom scenes, but a good reviewer will say what she liked about the bedroom scenes and why. She will also talk about what she liked that had nothing to do with the erotic portions.
-
Step 3
Jot down a quick list of what you didn't like about the story. Again be very specific; point out exactly what you didn't like. Saying that you don't care for the BDSM scene when you knew going in that you would be reading books with this lifestyle choice being presented is not enough.
-
Step 4
Think about what sort of rating you want to give the erotic romance you've just read. Make a bullet list of why you think it deserves that rating. You should be able to explain in a couple of sentences why you've given it that rating. Most reviewers use a scale of 5 to 1 for rating, with 5 being the highest and 1 being the lowest.
-
Step 5
Using your list of likes and dislikes, as well as your reasons for whatever rating you decide on for the erotic romance you are reviewing, to the best of your ability write an objective review.
