Lord, what I wouldn't give to find myself one of those Kowalski men!


Dhes, I bought that one this morning with part of my Amazon gift card. I better get started on that series; I need some laughter Oh, drat! I just remember someone wants to do a "buddy read" of them. Hmmmmm... I guess I could always read it twice. :)




I've never read anything of her... I'll have to check her out; thanks, CaroB!

Oh, I've heard wonderful things about that series! I might even own them already!


No, it's in the We Love Lisa Kleypas (not to be confused with Lisa Kay, who we do love too) Group.

LOL! Feeling the love for the Lisas, definitely!!

Yes, I did. I didn't really expect to. I don't know why but it was good. My library has the 1st 3 in the series. Guess I have to look to buy the rest of them :(

It hasn't gotten off the ground yet, but there are several people interested. Maybe someone will pick it up from one of the other books in the series??


Also finished




I had lots of fun with Breed books, I especially liked

Yeah the Breeds were fun, total co-sign on the repetitiveness later on though. I guess there are only so many ways to say 'mating heat' :-) The idea of the 'barb' inspired a great deal of prurient interest from my boyfriend who finds my addiction to HEA so amusing! All in all though, I kinda prefer the approach of
Nalini Singh to the whole 'were animal sex' and relationships

I'm relatively new to the PNR genre, I've only been reading paranormal for the last two years but I've been amazed at the selection once I got hooked.
Never heard of Anne Gracie, about to go check her author page out now...

Anna, this is not the first one I have read. I picked up




Yay! Looking forward to that challenge then!

Breeds series vs. Psy/changeling? No contest there. One is good entertainment (most of the times), while the other really is really good writing. Psy vs. Immortals after dark? That would be a tighter competition...




What's the angst factor?
What's the steam factor?
What's the HEA factor?

Anna, I've just started IAD series, on book #2 at the moment and am loving it!

Hope you don't mind me answering.
What's the angst factor? Not overly angsty, I didn't think, I would've said a 5-6 out of 10.
What's the steam factor? The sex is consensual, but there is a forced role-play that you'll either find HOT, or you'll be uncomfortable with. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this premise. The author's writing is just quality, which is rare for an adult /erotica.
What's the HEA factor? There is no HEA factor, only a Happily For Now

There are some books that I need to prepare myself for so I wanted to know what to expect :)

Angst factor : 4-5? Not much
Steam factor : 9-10. As Caro has said, the key here it is if you can be comfortable with forced role-play providing it’s absolutely consensual.
HEA: I agree with Caro, it's a happily for now, but I found it promising. I wouldn't have bought a HEA, it is a too short story for that.
Main characters are also interesting, realistic, well-drawn and honest to themselves. Hero is a blue-collar worker, which is quite unusual; it is interesting how he comes to grips with his sexual preferences.
