Its just so bad. SO BAD. But also, it is hilariously bad. There were times I actually had to stop listening for just a few minutes because the hilerrible was too much to take. I needed to rebuild my resistance. Why did I keep going? I think I was enjoying the "oh no, it can't get worse, noooo it did!" So by this measure I gave it two stars for bringing some fun.

The story (and I use that word loosely) is that Clint has left home to earn his own fortune despite being from a super rich family in LA. He drops out of school and goes to the oil fields in North Dakota, There, of course, this college dropout without connections or relevant experience, but with a can-do attitude and great bone structure, becomes an instant multi-millionaire. (And is still making money and has a business to sell in 2019 two years after everyone else has lost their shirts in the Bakken, but apparently Shelley Bradley/Shayla Black does not read the newspaper.) When a Madoff-like hedge-fund guy fleeces Clint's father and brings on his demise Clint leaves the square states to return to SoCal, stabilize his younger brothers, and seek revenge. Fake-Madoff has absconded, and so his target is Fake-Madoff the Younger, a beautiful genius named Bethany whom he believes was the siren who drew his father to his fate. Somehow this ends up being a situation where the revenge includes him jetting off to Hawaii, having a lot of great sex with Bethany, deciding he is in love with her, losing her, and trying to reclaim her. Other things happen too, including random time in a birthing suite with Bethany's sister-in-law, a woman Clint has met once. I am fascinated by the arrogance of a person who thinks once they have sex with the master their partner will be destroyed by the loss of access to sex with him/her/them. Has Clint, with his 24 years of life experience, so roughly say 7 years of casual sexual activity, developed erotic skills so sharp that his penis and core strength can ruin lives? That is one magic penis, Clint. If he is looking for business ventures he should be thinking about that penis instead of freezing his ass off and rubbing elbows with off-the-grid itinerants in Mandan.
