Yes, I believe it's the chapter where he first comes to her bedroom.

Freed from the confines of his trousers, his cock swelled to its full size. Ten and a half inches of hard flesh rose up in turgid readiness.

Maybe it wasn't too explicit, but I wanted to be sure and post the warning.

when's the damn mail going to get here???!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Passion is loaded with sex... and it's the best written sex I've read in a long time. As I said, I've read reviews where people complained about his size, and his obsession with her 'taking it all' but hey, she isn't complaining! Call me a perv, but I'm really enjoying this one.

[Anne OK]

Bekkah! You know what the USPS promises: Rain or shine, sleet or snow . . . they always deliver! Hope your mailman delivers the "goods" today!!!

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

For an excellent excerpt of Passion go to www.lisavaldez.com and read the excerpt there. It will give you an indication of SIZE and this is so sizzling your eyes will pop out of your head.
Hey, I read that some people (not our group of course) thought that Passion was too sexually explicit. They were so appalled that they sent LV hate mail. I'm like WHAT? If you don't like it, don't read it.

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

CRAP!! I'm not getting these updates again. What's going on?

Hey, I ..."

I wasn't overly fond of the novel but I'd never send hate mail no matter how bad I think a book is. That's just plain wrong! And I agree DON'T read it if you don't like it :)
And it wasn't just the graphic sex that put me off it. It was the general story itself. It just didn't appeal to me. But that's ok because I have read some that ppl have hated and I think How could they hate it? but ppl have different tastes.

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

So true. That's what makes life interesting and not the same old thing boring.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

That's exactly true, Cynthia and Pam. If you don't like something, don't read it! It bothers me when, lets say, someone who HATES vampire novels to begin with, reads one then rates it low because they didn't like it. That's not fair! If I'm venturing into a new genre and I don't like something, THEN I will write in my review WHY I rated it so low.

There is so much erotica written that I do not like but some I love. So I feel ok with rating accordingly. But, I'm not comfortable with menage or anal sex, so I'm not going to read a book knowing it's in there and then rate it poorly, that's not fair to the author. I also try not to let those things influence my overall review of a book, but I do mention it in my reviews so that other's who may not like that type of thing will know.

As for Passion , I would call it the best written erotica I've ever read, but that doesn't mean everyone else will like it, and I'm ok with that.

I've seen 5 star books that I couldn't believe had gotten such a high rating, and I've read 2 star books that I loved... it's all a matter of taste!

*Sigh* I'm so glad I have you all to share thoughts and ideas with! *hugs*

[Cheryl]

Ok, whatever the cause of the goodreads update blockage has apparently been fixed because I have just received about 25 email updates. Be patient with me while I catch up on everything that has happened...

First of all, 10 1/2 inches?!?!?!?!?! Holy crap, I'm going to find that book immediately, I shall not tarry but make haste to the nearest book store!

Second of all, I agree that if you don't like books with certain content then don't read it! I like extremely steamy books, but I don't care for anal stuff so I don't really want to read that. But if it only touches on that slightly I can skim over it, I won't rate it low because it had it.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Cheryl, I'm getting updates for posts I've already replied to. LOLOL

This is steamy... sweltering... smoldering.... sizzling... and I've learned something about myself...

*looks over shoulder* *clears throat* *whispers* It would seem I like 'dangerous' sex... I've read 3 books, The Unsung Hero, Taming Her Irish Warrior, and Passion and all 3 had sexual encounters taking place in a place where there were lots of people around, where the h/h might be caught. I must say, Cheryl, I find those situations quite... arousing. *blushes*

[Anne OK]

I just want to say that I love this group's ability to converse with a non-judgmental open mind. Lately, I've been reading so many reviews where the same people give mean and hateful reviews when it is quite obvious they have never cared for the type book they are reviewing. If you don't like erotica, don't read it! If you don't like historical, read contemporary. If you don't like mysterty, read romance. Just don't keep making the same negative remarks over and over. Try something different - you MIGHT like it.

Sorry. I'll get off my soapbox now. It's been a bad week for reviews.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

**hugs Anne** I know what you mean, I really do.

I do NOT judge anyone by WHAT they read, but for heaven's sake... don't bash things you knew you wouldn't like going in!

[Cheryl]

Anne- well said! *applauds*

Dhestiny- you seriously crack me up! I never laugh more than when I read your posts! There is something about sexual encounters occurring where they might be exposed at any moment. It makes it thrilling, hurried, gives one the feeling of adventure!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Cheryl, Indeed!!!!!

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

I agree also. I love this group. Everyone is so excepting of different points of view and I appreciate the well thought out and hilarious comments. This is fun and I have loved learning about books and authors that I probably wouldn't have even considered before.

ps. I also like "dangerous sex" I mean reading about it not that I have ever done it.

I agree to everything you said! ;)

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

The only draw back to being in this group is that I'm buying more and more books because of all the great recommendations. I'm retired and I'm going to have to go back to work just to pay for all these books. LOL I guess everyone has their habits and this one is mine. Love it.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Cynthia, I agree - belonging to Goodreads, and this group especially - has really put a dent in my wallet! But I've enjoyed every minute of it!!!

[[deleted user]]

I too love that everyone here is so openminded and discussions are freindly, no animocity, it's great!

I am buying it to .. i have to LOL .. 10.5 inches ive never hear of that lOLLLL

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I read the excerpt several times..... several. :-)

My problem with erotica is that it seems that there MUST be a LOT of sex, which is fine by me, but I also want that swoony love connection. LK writes great romance novels with just the right amount of heat for me. But...if I could get an LK novel with say the great encounter described in that excerpt...then well...yowza!

And yes, since joince goodreads, I've spent a TON of money on books. I've become almost addicted to it. I'm currently waiting on a dozen books to be delivered. I really need to stop buying. I'm afraid all these books I'm buying - most I won't love all that much. Then I'm stuck with books that maybe I don't need to be keeping. Ugh..the problems I have! :-)

However, I bought Smooth Talking Stranger today for $4.97!!

Not sure I can get past the name Passion but I will add it. Nothing like a good sex read!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Kelly, she's named Passion because she was born on Passion Sunday and her father is a vicar.

Bekah, there's more sex in this one than I've ever read in any one book, but it's sooooo much more than that... it's a beautiful love story as well.

Rachael - there are more men with 10.5+ than you'd imagine. Unfortunately, they aren't always as lucky as the hero in this book.

The great thing about Passion is that the hero, even though he feels passion and lust, doesn't believe he can love anyone, nor does he believe true love exists. This is because of his mother and they way she treated him and his father. But as the story goes on, he starts to feel it... I love that kind of story.

It's a great read.

[[deleted user]]

Completely of the topic .. has any1 read any good love stories that are about Witches ??? ive always been facinated with witches ..

[Cheryl]

All right ladies, I need some help! I have read several pretty intense books lately and I am in need of something else! I would like something fun, easy to read, laugh-out-loud funny and of course romantic! Any suggestions? My mind and heart need a break from books with troubled heroes!

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

How about What Happens in London by Julia Quinn? Have you read that? Pretty funny and light. Or Love is Blind by Lynsay Sands.

[Julianna]

Cheryl wrote: "All right ladies, I need some help! I have read several pretty intense books lately and I am in need of something else! I would like something fun, easy to read, laugh-out-loud funny and of cours..."

I'll recommend Tonight or Never by Dara Joy. I named it my funniest read of last year, and it is very steamy and romantic too. I thought it was just an all-around fun, light read that still had the emotional development I crave.:-)

[Cheryl]

Cynthia- I read What Happens In London and that is exactly the kind of book I'm looking for! It was hilarious! I'll check into Love Is Blind- I've never read anything by Lynsay Sands.

Julie- Sounds perfect! I'll check into!

Thanks y'all!! :)

Hi Cheryl!
I recommend:
It was a great book and so funny it had me laughing out loud several times!

[Cheryl]

Thanks Beth, I put a hold on it at my library!

[Anne OK]

Cheryl - do you only read historicals? If not, might I suggest two light, witty and laugh-out-loud contemps I just read. HelenKay Dimon's LEAVE ME BREATHLESS and Cathie Linz's MAD, BAD AND BLONDE. I had also been doing some pretty "heavy" reads and needed some sunshine and laughter. I definitely got it!

[Cheryl]

Anne- I will read books other than historicals, but I really, really prefer historicals. I used to read a lot of contemporary romance and romantic suspense until I was introduced to the historical-romance genre and fell in love with it! Now I don't have much of a desire to read other types of books unless it is a very good book that comes with lots of recommendations. I'll check into these that you listed! Thanks! :)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Cheryl, did you ever read Julie Garwood's For the Roses? I LOVED that book. It was light, funny and a great love story.

[Cheryl]

Dhestiny- I have not read that one yet but I do own it! How convenient! I own all of her historicals and I am slowly making my way through them, trying to savor them since she has no upcoming new releases. :(

It's one of my all time favorite feel good romances. I reviewed it if you want to check it out here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

[[deleted user]]

heee cheryl im after the exact oposite .. ive been reading light reads and need something heavy and heartrenching ...

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

I just finished Love Lessons by Cheryl Holt.
I only gave it 3*'s It was only OK for me. It dragged a bit and I didn't much like the heroine much. I thought she was a little too self absorbed and stupid for me. I did like the hero though and felt like he was very complex.
Good sex scenes.

[Julie]

After all the hype on this beautiful story I decided to read Jane Eyre. I am really enjoying it.

[Cheryl]

Dhestiny- thanks, I read your review, beautiful as always! I'll read this book soon I believe!

Cynthia- so sorry you didn't care for Love Lessons all that much! I really enjoyed it but we can't love them all can we?
