Is that a good or bad thing?

Definitely not good! Too much smut , with this plot I expected something else but the only thing these 2 are thinking about is sex. I don't have problem with erotica but I need a little more background and plot.
Plus this reminds me too much of Everything I Left Unsaid series only with triple the sexy time.
I think I prefer her older books like

[Jonetta]

I guess that's why she released them as M. O'Keefe. She said they'd be more erotic but you can normally count on her to have s stronger story. Too bad. I've got that series.

Seeing Red by Sandra Brown 3 1/2-Stars
The beginning is great, the romance sizzles off the page, the ending is vintage Sandra Brown, the middle, well . . .

Has anybody read the Winston Brothers series? I really don't like Jethro (he must be the worst older brother in the history of older brothers) so I want to skip his book and read Cletus' (he's just so hilarious.) Will I get any spoilers if I do that?

I started reading the first book a while ago. After a chapter or 2 I realized it's a spin off of knitting in the city series. I put it on hold to read that series first. I'm stuck in #1.5 book,I couldn't get into it. Being ocd about reading the series in order, I'm guessing I'll be stuck there forever.

I'm currently rereading an old but goodie that I haven't read in years.

The Winston series is only related to Beauty and the Mustache so I just read that one before jumping into the Winston brothers series. But that book was SUCH A BORE that I don't know I recommend it.

Having that book in common was the reason I felt I had to read that series first.

[Gisela, Moderator]

I read . I just knew going into it that the hero was a butthead and I wasn't wrong. It was booooooring, can't really understand all the rave reviews...

[ShoSho , Moderator]

I just finished and wrote the longest review I've ever written! It was a 1 stars!

I also finished which I loved.
I haven't decided what to read next.

With regards to the first one, I hate it when a woman in a story can only leave a boyfriend when she has a "safety net" of another man if she does. Ugh.

[Anita]

Dead Ringer by B.J. Daniels 3-Stars
2nd book of the series, not very good.

Yes It was one of the things that really made me angry about this book. She kept saying what if I leave my boyfriend and the new relationship doesn't go anywhere!! She wouldn't have left the boyfriend if the new guy hadn't promised her a future!

[ShoSho , Moderator]

I started on audio and ebook.
I needed a break from mainstream romance!!!!

I listened to a classic -- The Rake by Mary Jo Putney. It's a re-read. I listened to it this time and wasn't crazy about the narration. The story is still excellent.

The main character lacked boundaries in the prior book’s but it was cute. In his own story he comes off annoying and like an immature frat boy even thoihhh he’s a professor hockey player.
