I'm glad I stuck with Covet or I might not have given Crave a chance.

Steph, I haven't read Lucinda yet but I will. I love her brother from the very beginning.
I thoroughly enjoyed,
. Is it me or this series is hotter the LOTU by Gena? Next, need my J. Frost writing from

"Let me know what you think about Viking Warrior. I just got/read it as an e-book on my computer. I was disappointed in it. It's not the worst book I've ever read but certainly not one of the better ones either. It was just ok. Not worth the purchase in my opinion.

Crazy4more,
The cliffhanger is null and void in the first one but I heard the same about the second in the series so I am going to wait closer to the release of the third book to start the second (if that makes sense). I do have to agree that the story is really good.
As far as Mona Lisa, its been sitting on my shelf for so long that I decided to finally try it.
I finished
, which were both just okay. I'm now reading
, which is pretty good, but a little confusing, so far.
I'm starting
. I have had it sitting on my shelf forever, but do love the series.
Ok folks...I've put it off long enough! I am starting
right now. I hope it is as good as everyone says it is. After the last few authors I've read, it will have to be! Wish me luck!!
I loved the Vampire Academy books, Crissa. Hope you do too!! Richelle Mead has a couple adult series that I loved too! The Succubus (Georgina Kincaid series) and the Dark Swan series. Mead is one of my favorite authors.
Finally finished
. Took me almost a month to finish it because it was so depressing. I don't think anything positive happened to Rachel through out the entire book.I think I'm going to read
next. I hope it is as good as the first two books.
I have read the first 2 in the Fever series and decided to wait on #3 because everyone keeps mentioning the horrible cliffhanger. I didn't realize Fever followed the Highlanders, so I'm going to go ahead and read those. My only complaint...I wish the Fever series had more romance. Is the Highlander series also lacking romance?
Katie - the Highlander series is paranormal romance. Each book focuses on a different couple and has lots of romance and sex.
Here is what Karen Moning said in the FAQ about the Fever Series (well a very small part of what she said):So what is Darkfever?
It's the first installment of a story told over the course of five novels that is a romance, and a fantasy, and a mystery and even part thriller.
Is there sex in my Fever series? Absolutely. Is there romance? Definitely. Does it all happen in the first book? No. It happens when it's time.
Tracy dont give up on
series ive read em all so far and its one of my faves each book gives a lil more of the puzzle.Jen right there with you Richelle Mead is one of my top fav writers all her series are really good.

I read the second Drake book, Dayhunter, this week and thought it was much better than first book. Made me decide it is worth sticking with the series.
just finished
great way to end a series if I do say so myself.now onto
Hi guys, I just want to say this is my fave group on GR, but I am thinking about leaving GR altogether. I joind a group that I thought was a group for paranormal genre books for adults by that I mean not YA books. I was disgusted by what I saw, pornographic pictures not just of men and women which I would not have a problem with, I would have left the group and that would be the end of the matter, but I saw some things I can only describe as sick, perverse and illegal... graphic sexual animal abuse. I have sent an e-mail to the GR team but if I dont have a reply in the next few days I will delete my account here and not return. So THANKYOU all for this wonderful group.
Steph wrote: "Tracy dont give up on series ive read em all so far and its one of my faves each book gives a lil more of the puzzle."I ended up liking the first book. I plan on starting the second one in the next few days.

Rebecca wrote: "Hi guys, I just want to say this is my fave group on GR, but I am thinking about leaving GR altogether.

I love her voice, and she is the main reason I was able to finish this book. If I was reading it, I would have probably given up.
For me, this book is a major information dump, but I stuck with it. The 2nd book is better (again I got it in audio), and I heard it continues to get better.

Maybe I'll try the audio.
Mod
There are two narrators for the Anita Blake books: Christine Holloway and Kimberly Alexis. I don't have a list of which books are narrated by who. I'm partial to Holloway...not really a fan of Kimberly Alexis.
So, listen to a sample first and see if you like the narrator.

I love audiobooks, too. I always have one in my car. : )
Books that are usually narrated in first person, I usually try to get them in an audiobook format.

It gave me lots of background of the Fae and the Druids. Enjoy.
Hi, I am the moderator for the group, Recommendations for Hot and Steamy PNR Series that Rebecca had a complaint about. This is in response to Rebecca's complaint about our group. She just joined last night and have no idea what our group is about or the reason why we post some things. We are a great group of people with a terrific sense of humor. We had a strong warning posted to people before they join the group:Discussion of your favorite hot and steamy Paranormal Romance books.

If you do not post your age on your profile, group membership may be delayed. If no age is posted and you block messages, group membership will be denied.
We also have within our group a section labeled: Xtreme Pics - Not for the faint of heart - Must be 21+.
This section is to stimulate discussions of any alternative lifestyles. The only rule is to not judge or condemn people who might enjoy that lifestyle. The person who started that section punishes people who says EWWW or GROSS by posting stomach turning pictures such as of bestiality. We are not into bestiality, but we do have a great sense of humor.
This group was started as a private group to be away from judgmental and condemning people. That is why the people who are members there and stayed members are good friends with each other. We respect each other's opinions and lifestyles. We do not judge each other. And we appreciate good humor. If you are a judgmental type of person with no sense of humor, please do not go into our group and try to destroy what we have there. It is a private group. It is voluntary.

However, before you chose to join this PRIVATE group you were asked to read the descripton of it that was PROMINENTLY posted on the main page of the group...and I quote......

Ok, so let the flaming begin!

and I am starting to get a little annoyed. Is it me or does the story drag a little in some parts?I know it is a great series but I am losing my excitment.

I would just like to remind you guys that this thread is about books that we are currently reading.
I don't think this thread is the place for your current issues. If you guys need to communicate with each other, you could use GR's private messaging system.
Aloha wrote: "Hi, I am the moderator for the group, Recommendations for Hot and Steamy PNR Series that Rebecca had a complaint about. This is in response to Rebecca's complaint about our group. She just joined..."I truly thank you for your explanation. It makes the whole thing less one-sided. I 100% retract my previous post about GR taking action. If Rebecca joined despite your (very clear, I might add) warning about the graphic nature then shame on her for joining and shame on her for flaming your group on another group's boards as well as attempting to shut your group down.
From your description I would judge that your group would probably not be for me. But, I would not join only to cause trouble-I would simply just move past it and ignore it in favor of something that appealed to my interests more. I urge Rebecca to do the same.
But, I am also curious about GR's stance via their Terms of Service and wonder whether, due to her complaint, if they will take any sort of action.
Edit: I realize that this is a thread about books. I just felt the need to comment since one of the group's members originally brought the subject up in the thread.
I am also a member of the group Rebecca complained about. Let's clarify We are not "in" to that type of thing. It is a great bunch of open minded funny people who love PNR. The pics she complained about were there to visually punish us for not being tolerant of people with different lifestyles. There is even a warning on that thread! Please don't judge us harshly.

I felt like there was a book before that one that I had missed.
