MountainKat | 32330 comments I have a question, I just finished Dead Until Dark for the FAC challenge. Always one to multitask whenever possible, where would that book fall in this challenge? Since in my mind, that wasn't a true romance, I'm thinking #12?

Desperado (lethallovely) | 822 comments You're reading Nicholas (The Lords of Satyr, #1) by Elizabeth Amber ? You poor thing, you. In theory, a man with 2 penises is like "WOW, I want that!" But the way EA writes it made me want to cut off every single penis that came within reach of me.

Yes, it's that one. *gag* EA has some serious issues IMO. I'm all for hermaphradites. Boys Don't Cry had me crying buckets. But do I want to read a romance where the chick has a stick? Hell no. Oh God, I'm about to vomit.

Jane (PS) | 24606 comments Gosh - I thought the two penii (whatever) were referring to the book Victorious Star. Clearly we have a few contenders for multi-penis reading...

Desperado (lethallovely) | 822 comments There more than one series with double penis?!? Yikes!

Lethal's Words o' Wisdom:Some things are not meant to be doubled. Doublemint gum? Awesome. Double Bacon Cheeseburgers? Hell yeah! One guy with double penises? Not only double penises but double penises that forces him to booty snatch you? NOOOOOO!

As for the hermaphrodite thing? I'm cool with it if I don't think about it too hard but I really think EA should give her readers more warning than "she turns out to be far different than he could ever have imagined." The first thing that comes to my mind IS NOT "She must be a chick with a dick!"

Mary (wimew) | 250 comments Before I commit to this challenge I have a question.

Right now I'm in the middle of Larissa Ione's Ecstasy Unleashed. I know it's considered paranormal.
The main characters in this one is a demon assasin and and angel working for her wings. It also acknowledges heaven and hell. Could I put this under the Christian catagory instead?

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I'd like to remind participants that this is a challenge designed to explore the different sub-genres under the Romance umbrella.

By signing up, you might have to read books that you are less familiar or sub-genres that might not be of interest to you. But that is why its called a challenge. : )

To those who asked, Frank's Nightwalkers books are PNR, so are Ione's Demonica books. Hope that answers the questions.
