That is part of why I have stopped reading Hamilton. I feel like in recent books, even though the page count was high, there was less than 50 pages of action and plot - all sex, all kink, all the time. Too much play makes Jack a dull boy too, you know?
I think I stopped right before Harlequin. Aside from its obvious lack of pages, how was Flirt - still all sex? Cause I might actually start reading it again if I can get 170 pages of plot. That would be worth like three of her current books!

I agree completely...Flirt was very short, not much sex, alot of sexual tension though. It has pretty much turned me off from reading more Hamilton. I was getting there with the last couple of books, but this one did it for me. Thank goodness I borrowed it from the Library and didn't actually buy it!

23. Showdown by Ted Dekker - 357 pagesI really enjoyed this one, but couldn't get over the repulsiveness of the worms. I can tolerate reading true crime about serial killers and the like, but these particular creatures? Turned my stomach! Surprised me greatly!!
