    Anyone read this? I just finished and thought it was awesome! Im kinda depressed because now i have nothing to read or look forward to read, lol. Anyone know of any books similar to twilight, 50 shades if grey or anything like mitch alboms books?

    Read Bare to You by Sylvia Day. I know what you mean, I get depressed when books are over. Oh, also read JR Ward, Black Dagger Brotherhood. The first is Dark Lover, you'll love it. Happy reading!
    Black dagger brotherhood is my favorite series. There are 9 books.... everyone will of them are good. Also the midnight breed is also a good series... there is also 9 books

    Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters are good too.

    Fanfiction websites. Better writing, better characters, better dirty scenes... some of them written by inexperienced fifteen-year-olds. But I don't think it's too hard to beat something that began as Twilight fanfiction. But that's just ~~my opinion~~.

    *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.

    I love what you have written here! I'm about halfway thru the book. It's absolutely horrible. I may not even finish it. Don't know how many more "inner goddess" crap I can take. I've read elsewhere that readers are referring to the sex scenes as "tantalizing," "arousing," "erotic," etc. I'm finding them repetitive, lame, lackluster, juvenile and boring. And...it's set in the Pacific Northwest. Really? Uhm...we in the PNW don't talk like that. There's a bit too much Brit-speak there, in my opinion. About the BDSM...I wouldn't know how far off the author is about that. I am def taking your word for it! I've read comments on other forums from BDSM-experienced people, and they are saying the same. Seems like the author should have taken the advice that "Christian" gave to "Anastasia." Which was "Do you research." I won't be reading the other books.

    I have seen excerpts of this nonsense floating around on the internet and it terrifies me, for a few reasons. First, it started off as Twilight fanfiction. I have nothing against fanfiction (how could I? I write it myself), but I have everything against Twilight (and yes, I did indeed read Twilight back in the day, when I was a 16-year-old-girl who thought it romantic--and then again in a college class, where I was finally disillusioned by the terrifyingly poor prose, ugly plot and character development, and undertones of sexism and racism). Second, those I know who have read it have been horrified by how it portrays a D/s relationship, because it is unequivocally incorrect. Third, erotica is awesome. Poorly written erotica is not.

    Read something...else. For the sake of your brain. :flowerforyou:
    You. You are my new hero.
