What I'm curious about is whether or not they'll get their own book or if it will all happen as a B story in someone else's. Seems like a lot of us are on board, but I'm sure there are a lot of readers that just couldn't handle a full on m/m book.

K, but you have to read the others first or you'll be totally lost.

Darn. I got it for free from an ad here on goodreads. Since it was being given away for free, I assume there wouldn't be any problem with me sharing it so if you'd like a copy, PM me with your email address.

The first book is a novella in the anthology Playing Easy to Get. It's called "The Warlord Wants Forever" and she has it available for free on her website, I think. If you start with #2, which is the first full length book, A Hunger Like No Other, you should be fine. I didn't read the first one and I never felt lost.
Tricia - read the next Psy-Changeling book. I felt the same way about Slave to Sensation. But Singh has created a very rich, complex world with the rest of the books. You'll get sucked in. You really need to give it a second chance!
Alright, I'm jumping in:
If you love good PNR with awesome characters, flair and adventure, you'll love Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark. If you like PNR with super sexy heroes and lots of intriguing overarching storyline, you'll love Nalini Singh's Psy-Changelings. Both are excellent series with fairly weak first books, so you have to give them both at least two.
I am of the "Kenyon's Dark Hunters? Blech!" camp. My problem, like Mel's, is her writing style. I read Fantasy Lover, Night Pleasures and most of Night Embrace and finally had to stop because it was giving me a stomach ache. Her stuff just doesn't have the polish of Ward, Cole or Singh.
But I will say this - If Mel reads Zarek's story and changes her mind, then I will give it a second chance. I trust her opinions!
(Mel, you will love Outlander and you will love Nalini Singh. Have you read Richelle Mead's Thorn Queen yet? I'm waiting for you in the Thorn Queen thread over on Who's Your Author!)

Hooray!! Hopefully you'll love it, and can help me and Darkheart pimp it. ;)

Check and see if you missed a "</s>"
Quick review on a few of the books I've read for the challenge this month. Following in the footsteps of my peer pressure wench role models, Michelle M., Mel and Amelia...
I know that m/m (m/m = male/male, aka gay) is not everyone's cuppa, so if that's something you just can't see yourself getting into, I'll give you a pass. But anyone who has even the tiniest inkling that they might be into seeing what m/m is all about, please read Among the Living by Jordan Castillo Price. This is the first in an awesome paranormal m/m series. I read the whole series in about five days and it's now on my "eagerly awaiting the next book" list. Very addictive. If you like PNR/UF and are even a little bit interested in m/m erotica, you will not be disappointed.

Oh, this drove me crazy when I read them too and I also had to ask.
I thas to do with how a man "packs his package" so to speak - which way he arranges things in his pants... you know? ;)

That's not necessarily true. I mean, with intravenous drugs you have the needle marks. And with meth you have the nice teeth...
In the interest of maybe actually finishing this challenge, I have to make some switches already. I'm replacing Ink Exchange with A Rush of Wings and putting two of the PsyCop books by Jordan Price in for V. Since m/m books are always really short, I'm counting two as one for page count reasons.

Michelle, do you have a recommendation for my OPQ? Or a way to shuffle things around to fit a different recommendation? I have a mountainous TBR but I'm feeling a little lazy at the moment.
Oh, Covet! Thanks for reminding me, Lisa.
