bahahaha that has a sexy ring to it. Even if it kind of reminds me of C-3PO. I'm such a geek.
I can't even remember what my last erotic series was. I think it was the Songs of Submission series, which is amazing so this book has very large shoes to fill!
Are you kidding me?! I love Star Wars. ;)And my last erotic series was Songs of Submission, too!
Hi C's, this will be fun! I didn't read songs of submission. The last one I read was dark duet and in my opinion it sucked ass

A girl after my own heart! I'm a huge Star Wars fan... even if the newer movies are more concerned with the cgi and the acting is average at best. The original story is so kickass it more than makes up for it, and who hasn't wanted to be a Jedi in their fantasy life?!
That's so awesome about the Songs of Submission Series! Jonathan Drazen is sex on a stick ;) It started out just ok for me but before long I was hooked. The sex was effing mindblowing!

Hey, C! LOL @ the Dark Duet being sucky. I actually agree. I read Captive in the Dark not long ago and was dissapointed after the massive hype. I hope this book makes up for it.
And then we gotta get you reading Songs of Submission ;) It's one of the best written erotic series I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
I think I have the first one on my kindle. Might be my next read. I'm ready to start so
BUTTING IN... this is the best! enjoy my lovlies... delicious all the way through!

Oh, I can tell this one's gonna be good. *fingers crossed* So far it's got the perfect pace.
LOL... I totally lost that bet and it was the best thing ever. Losing never felt so good. *blows Wendy a kiss*
I actually loved the Dark Duet. XDI like it when we all have different opinions about books.
Anyway, I'm starting now.
Hope it doesn't suck.
5%: Let's start a social discussion. What do you guys think of the MC's life fiasco? I mean, don't have anything against being a lap dancer, but selling myself to make more money? And I've never understood how credit cards work in the US. Here you either have a bank account with a minimum of money in it, or they don't even open the door for you.

I can actually, understand why it was so popular. I think it was a case of too high expectations in my case. Hype can be a double edged sword. I do plan on reading Seduced in the Dark at some point. :p
13% already and came across this: "his green eyes dissapearing from sight..." WTH, weren't his eyes blue?
I find her a bit annoying. How can you aspire to marry an old man who'll leave his money to you when he dies? That's fucking sad.Besides, she said she had a good life, until she graduated and couldn't find a job. How can she be this disillusioned already?!
Cam wrote: "5%: Let's start a social discussion. What do you guys think of the MC's life fiasco? I mean, don't have anything against being a lap dancer, but selling myself to make more money? And I've never un..."So credit cards in the us have nothing to do with the money in your bank account. If you pay at least the minimum balance ( which is only a small fraction of the total you used on it ) you develop good credit and can get more of them and can get authorized to be able to spend more. The amount you don't pay get left over for the following month and the user is charged interest on it.
They target college kids because they want to lock them in early in their spending so its easy for them to get it.

I've had iffy vibes from her as well. Im REALLY trying not to judge, but so far I'm not seeing much justification for her lifestyle. :/

If she had a good life where is her family
I don't care if you strip. I love a good stripper. But if you need to live with some grimy man and give out BJ's for a living its time to call mommy and daddy

At what point do they stop giving you credit and decide to collect the money you own them?
That's horrible and they'll probably never get back all the money people have spent, even if they took their houses.
Claudine wrote: "I don't care if you strip. I love a good stripper. But if you need to live with some grimy man and give out BJ's for a living its time to call mommy and daddy"Yeah. Call your parents or suck men off for a living.
Hard decision.

I've read a couple of Erotica books with the MC being a prostitute, but the characterization was remarkably deep and well-delineated.
What we know about her is that she's been doing the stripper for three years, couldn't find a job after graduation and gladly sells her services to men.
I'd be furious to be forced to be a prostitute, to be surrounded by pigs. I can't understand how she'd find that particular man attractive. Because he's the younger and wealthier one?

22%... and I'm beginning to soften towards her somewhat. We finally get at least some explanation about what has led her to this lifestyle. Try to get there... it fixes some of the issues we're having with her poor choices.
I need to make dinner and feed the kids. I'll be back in a few hours

27% (view spoiler)
I'm going to bed in less than an hour, so you guys will have plenty of time to catch up with me. Still not convinced about it, though.

Sweet dreams, bella. I doubt I will finish it tonight, so I'm sure we'll converge tomorrow. I know what you mean, I'm still on the fence. I really hope the author revs the romance pretty soon!

Thank you, honey.
I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to discuss it further.
@Claudine: Good night for later, Claudine. Happy reading and have a nice evening.
I'm back at 36%. I'm confused I don't know either if this is working for me or not. But it's keeping me interested and that's enough to get me to keep reading.
Im stoping for tonight at 47%. Before book 3. I like this for far I have all these conspiracy thoughts in my mind.
Claudine wrote: "Im stoping for tonight at 47%. Before book 3. I like this for far I have all these conspiracy thoughts in my mind."You're ahead... still at 27% and only now picking it back up. Let's see how far I can get before blacking out for the day!

Good morning, ladies. 38% in now and I'm just one minute away from grabbing this chick's gullet and shaking the crap out of her stupid, short-sighted self. I don't do slut-shaming but by God is this woman testing my limits! (view spoiler) And honestly, what's up with Nathan being so cold and controlling? I don't think his "hot looks" are enough to make a believer of me. Anyway, it's still very well written so I think I'll soldier on.
The writing is saving this book. Plus it's a quick read that moves well. But I think I hate her, not one endearing characteristic.
Claudine wrote: "The writing is saving this book. Plus it's a quick read that moves well. But I think I hate her, not one endearing characteristic."Claudine... absolutely agree.. on all counts.
The plot is very seedy. I'm pushing through it
Sorry girls, have been neglecting the book today and won't have much time to read it before I go to bed.I see you're not completely enjoying it.

No worries, babe. When you do get a chance to come back to it, I'll be glad to hear your thoughts. It's actually very well written, despite my gripes with it. And to be honest, I am interested in seeing where it goes. I think my main problem lies with the fact that it doesn't seem to be an erotic romance as I expected. I would class this more as an erotic thriller. It does flow smoothly though, which is a bonus. I am intrigued at the whole mystery subplot.

You make it sound so interesting, honey.
I think I'll have more time tomorrow evening. But I'm glad it's not a total disaster for you, it's good to know you're having fun.
I think I'm gonna run over Nathan with my car @31%. It's not working for me.
@45% and I want to neuter Nathan with my own hands!!
