If you like intrigue with a bit of smut, try the Fever series by Karen Moning.
I loved the Fever series!0 -
Still getting over fifty shades of grey, but lately I've been hooked on Kenyon's Dark Hunter series and Emma Rose's His Every Desire series. Something about those billionaires...0

The Fever series is SO much better than 50 Shades.0 -
There is this series called bared to you. its supposed to be similar to 50 shades.
I just finished Bared to You. I enjoyed 50 shades and really liked this one. I am excited about #2 coming out next month. They are very similar!0 -
And she has a serious adversion to the word *kitten*. Seriously, she refered to it as 'her bottom' :huh:
That's because E.L. James couldn't be bothered to remember that the book is not set in Britain.
Bridget Jones calls it her "bottom," too, but she is in London, so it's appropriate.0 -

To each his own, but seriously... Worst books ever written. There are people out there with real talent for writing and their work gets rejected on a regular basis, but this mind-numbing crap gets published? I can't say I'm any better than anyone else who has read them because I read them too, but really, they're awful. Why would any editor allow an author to use the same exact words and phrases on every page is beyond me.

I'm reading Bared to You by Sylvia Day. Almost a better story and VERY hot!!! Christian Grey or Gideon Cross...? I can't decide!!!!! LOL
i read that to!
book number two comes out in october!0 -
I've just started the 2nd book in the series. I wouldn't say that it is the best book I've read, but it could be much worse. I like that this book has got some healthy conversation going and that it is OK to explore your fantasies....0

How can all these woman say that it is degrading to just woman when their are female mistress inthe book as is in real life their actually is more male subs than their are females so before start the saying stuff the check your facts been doing actual bdsm for years now I'm a trained master and i don't beat or rape no one its what they like and want who are u to say its wrong or awfull just because u are a vanilla !!!!!!!!
I honestly do not understand where people get things like rape or degradation from. There are many things you could criticize about the books and the story but this is something that's beyond me. Plus, let's face it, the BDSM in this book is really mild. Most of the things they TALK about in the beginning, they don't even end up doing.
Oh, and I'm reading Bared to You right now, too. I have to admit, it's much nicer.0 -

The problem with the 50 Shades books has nothing to do with actual BDSM. The problem is that Christian Grey is a controlling, stalking, abusive man. Period.
If you were ever actually involved with anyone like him, you would understand the criticism. There is NOTHING romantic about him or the story. It's absolutely disgusting and horrible. Forget the lousy (and I mean LOUSY) writing. The characters are horrible human beings that NO ONE should fantasize about. And if you do, seek therapy.0 -
I'll probably still read it at some point just to see how it is.0

Controlling, I get. Stalking, maybe. But abusive...nope, sorry, I don't see it that way.0 -
*bangs head*
How many of these threads are there going to be?
The book SUCKED. The sex SUCKED. The BDSM was far from real life. The writing was poor. Anna was a wishy washy girl who, if I didn't know she was supposed to be in her twenties acted like she was thirteen. I found it hard to believe that she had never been kissed, never touched herself and didn't know what all those "strange and tingly feelings DOWN THERE were. I found it to be incredibly sophomoric. Truth be told I skimmed through the book looking for the good parts -- which didn't exist -- and didn't even bother with the rest of the series.0 -
The Sleeping Beauty series by A.N. Roquelaire (Anne Rice) very smutty0
-
I can't believe Christian Grey dies at the end of book 3... was a shocker.0

Perhaps because you have never been unlucky enough to date a man like that.
And, um, you know "abusive" doesn't always mean physically. You can accept controlling and stalking, but don't think he was abusive??? Seriously??
When a man controls you right down to the food you eat and when, that is ABUSIVE.0 -
Bared to You by Sylvia Day
Haven of Obedience by Marina Anderson
Pleasures of the night by Sylvia day
Then I'm on to Cherished by Maya Banks...the list is endless0 -
I hated the book. My friends hated the book. However my mother loved it. I sort of feel like if you have no real life experience you think it's better than it actually is...0
