I'm loving Mary Wine's In Bed With A Stranger

Grat writing, great story and lots of *blushing*

Just bumping this up. Any new opinions?

great, thank you...again!

They are all related, and in my opinion, yes. They should be read in order because it's an ongoing, progressive story.

This is the reading order list and you can get book synopsis there.

Are the Lora Leigh Breed Series books related at all? should they be read in order?

Very true, Jennie. I have AK's Time Hunter series on TBR, but I like her other work.

Lora Leigh writes some pretty hot scenes, but she bothers me on some level, especially with the Breeds series, because she has a really, really heavy hand with the fait accompli. The destined mates thing leans hard towards force with an afterthought of "see, I knew you wanted me tied to you forever. Aren't you really much happier now?" I think Leigh is still very much an erotica writer, because this is a great technique for erotica, which doesn't usually spend a lot of time allowing characters a choice not to have sex.

In my opinion, the authors who really dance well with the line between Erotica and Romance, and end up writing some of the hottest scenes are Angela Knight and Emma Holly.

I think that Lora Leigh's Breed series has some of the most erotic love scenes I have read to date. The beginning of the series has a plot, but has way more sex. As you go on with the series, the plots get more in depth, and there is still a good amount of sex in them as well.

Charlaine Harris wrote a couple of great sex scenes in "Dead to the World" and "Dead and Gone," Nalini Singh does pretty well with her Psy/Changeling series as well, and Jaquelyn Frank writes some pretty sexy scenes in her Nightwalker and Shadowdweller series as well.

All my favorite authors do. It would kind of kill it for me if they wrote everything else well and bombed the bedroom scenes, LOL. I like when they're creative, gripping, and unique to the characters.

Sherrilyn and J.R. Ward. Definitely.

***********SPOILER FOR SCCUBUS DREAMS*********
she has a date::takes him to a club::gets naked in a cage/on stage::and has sex with him in front of the whole club::

Why am I having such a hard time remembering that...hmn. I've read too much in between. I'll have to go back!

succubus dreams::which is book no 3 in the georgina kincaid series::i wasn't expecting it but......well exhibitionism at it's best::what more can i say other than the guy she was with was shocked too!::

Which book is that, Adrienne?

that doesn't surprise me lol::i've only read 1 of richelle meads books::it included a scene in a club::on a stage::omg::

I started reading Storm Born and there is a very hot scene not too far in. Whew!

ummm::i dunno: think b/c i/ve already started to read them ::i/m sticking with *bound hearts*::as much as i want to *read the world* my purse can't provide the goods:)::

I have not read it, though I saw an excerpt. If I recall, though, it's very sexual. Something about mating and only one person can be the mate...something like that. I THINK.

i found 1 of lora leighs wizard books to-day*Menage a Magick:: has anyone read this?::is it any good?::

I have one of the Breed series on a challenge for next month so hopefully that will help get my butt in gear for reading them.

I know. I think I could pull some time in jail as long as I could read whatever books I wanted. Well and could kiss some butt too. LOL!

I haven't read any of her others. I keep meaning to get to her breed series, but other books keep popping up that I want to read more

Yeah girl I'm with you on that. LOL!

Oh, Ghostwalkers is not so much with the flowery? Maybe I'll try that one then. I can't stand the Carpathians at all.

Profile shot would be nice. :)

i'm reading beth williamsons' historical westerns at the moment::i'm really enjoying them::very emotional::good ol' lorelei had gone:: so i'm no closer to reading anything by her::

nude profile shots::you dirty dirty girl moi:)::lol::

Did you like her other books?

I read the first book and I wasn't that impressed with it

I think I'll give Loralei a try this summer. Closest thing I've read to cowboys is the Carpathian story set on the ranch...can't remember the name of the characters at all. Grown up sister, she's a dragonseeker, raising younger half siblings. Anyone remember that one?

I haven't read either of those books. What book is the Ghostwalkers in?

I don't think the sex in Carpathians is nearly as hot as the sex in Ghostwalkers. It seems more flowery in Carpatthians.

Has anyone read the Nauti series by Lora Leigh? I have those on my shelf waiting to be read.

Ideally, I want the cover photo to match the character perfectly. I'd also request a nude profile shot and well as frontal and rear. Just to help get the visuals, you know.Hey, I'm just sayin'...

I know! It makes NO SENSE! I can't remember which Dark Hunter book it was but the guy on the cover had short hair and looked somewhat like Matt Damon but the description of the guy had long hair! Messed with me the whole time.

LOL I agree with all of you. I like when the images of people are in the background and you can't see much detail.

The worst is when the description of a person is blonde with blue eyes.. and the picture on the cover is a man with dark hair and dark eyes. Jeeze. Read the book before you get models.

Yeah I prefer the headless man on the cover. I liked the cover of the most recent Black Dagger Brotherhood. It gave a little bit of his face but not too much. I hated the cover of Dark Side Of The Moon and couldn't get the picture of that guy out of my head the whole time.

i agree with you there sara::also when the hero's handsome and the cover guy ugly::think some publishers are getting round that one::with::the headless man!!:: and::
don't worry about the random thought::happens to me all the time:)::

You know what really bothers me is when the guy on the cover of a book doesn't match the description of him. It makes it hard for me to picture a face then. That was sort of a random thought.

I'll queue up!

LMAO... I think a lot of us would queue up for Dante. ;) And you're right, there is very little sex, but what there is very well written.

i'm (hopefully) getting my hands on some lorelei james at lunch time::have found a bookstore that sells elloras cave and samhain press (i'm in uk and have only seen them on amazon before now)::but only carries a few copies::was in there last weeek and noticed the yhad LL so back there today::i like cowboys!::after a long time away from them i'm back:)::

Okay, I have to chime in hear...
I've read and loved BDB, SK dark Hunter and Dream Hunter series and loved her book Phantom in the Night.

I also just read Christina Dodd: Darkness books
the first 3 are great and I'm on to getting the final 4th book out so far.
Scent of Darkness, Touch of Darkness & Into the Darkness I believe. They are good reads and the sex/relationship ratio is good.

Happy reading

back to christine feehan::i' know i'm late it's diffren ttime zone here::are these racey hot?::i tried to get into carpathians but gave up::without really trying:: but:: if they're *interesting* i'll try them again::thoughts please::

UMs right Makers Song::fantastic::

Just a heads up....The Maker's Song series REALLY needs to be read in order.

Sounds very different, but in a good way.

The Nicki Styx series is three books in so far. She had a near death experience and now she sees ghosts. The first book gets into voodoo and it is creepy as hell, but in a good way. The main character is also quite sarcastic and even though she finds her new ability ridiculous, she's so practical about it. She's also funky--a little Goth, and she owns an upscale secondhand clothing store.

Garey's also good at throwing in plot twists. I'm liking it.

But oh, that Devil. He's been in the last two books and he is utterly delectable. I'm desperately hoping to read more about him as the series continues.

SHH! We do not speak of that here. lol. No I haven't read them. Are they good? Also I love that saying! Yes the dark side has many cookies.

That is one of the ones I am going to get lol.

You frightened me with that foreign concept. Narrowing down. ::chuckle:: What new fangled ideas will people think of next.

Oh, I recently read You're the One That I Haunt by Terri Garey. I was impressed by the steamy tension between the main character and the uber-sexy Punk/Goth Satan. He is DEELISH.

If I were her, I'd be all for the dark side. Screw being good.

Plus, the dark side has cookies.

Wow! Well, I'm not sure I am that mean... Actually these covers are fairly clean ;) and he will be off hunting him some books as well. Oh, and never fear. I just narrowed down the ones he has to buy. The others will wind up on my shelf ASAP.

And for extra torture, make sure to embarrass Daddy with all the kinky covers.

Narrowing down books? What is this concept? I know it not.

I just ordered 5 more online from B&N. Clearance sale. Some books are going for under $2!

Oh I have. Not that my TBR pile needs to be any bigger but... I can't resist. I have like 6 I want, but I think I have narrowed it down to 3... I think lol
