    I haven't read these books and I'm not interested actually.... especially hearing that the writing wasn't the greatest.

    But if you like these books, try reading The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by Anne Rice................ yes that Anne Rice.

    I tried. I like escapism but between the bad writing and not hot sex? There is much better fan fiction out there that deserves to be devoured. This is nothing to write home about. Sorry.

    On 3rd book now...... Its not the best writing of course,even the Author admited that..its her 1st book and she was not looking for a literature award.
    I enjoy it, I'm hooked and have 3 people in my office reading it and like it
    its all how the person interest and how broad their mind can go, sexually... I'm not into the BSDM but its fantasy we all know that.. but it is deffinatly NOT boring! :tongue:

    A couple of friends were talking about this on another forum yesterday and they hated it.
    By the sounds it is a parody or a mockery of all the worst stereotypes of women there are...weak,make poor choices,money grubbing etc.

    A friend mentioned it and sent me the ebooks so I started book 1 but I'm tending toward most of the naysayers here. It hasn't grabbed me. I haven't gotten that far but I too knew exactly what the book was about when he walked into the hardware store and started with the rope and the sly "I am not the one for you" crap while trying to reel her in. Bad writing? Ah, I read a lot of books and I've come across worse writing... but story line... this hasn't grabbed me. Hunger games? Grabbed me from the first sentence. I am reading this just because it was suggested and because I generally like to give a series of books a bit more latitude because I might have something to read for a longer bit of time. I can't imagine getting caught up in this at this point. Also, although I have no problem with BDSM it's not my thing on a regular basis.

    The lamest book ever. A 13 year old could have written it better.

    I completely disagree. All of the people I know who disliked it had no problems with open mindedness at all. They only disliked it because they were distracted by the poor writing and the extreme overuse of the same words and phrases.

    shes making millions from persons enjoying the books so i say if you don't like it don't read it..we all have that choice in day to day living
    we who do, will read with a smile on our face :smile:

    Heck if you want good BDSM heavy on the D/s then go pick up the Gor series. He's at least a better writer than this! Heavy on the misogyny though. Fair warning.

    I'm sorry but these books are not BDSM.

    Read Kitty Thomas or Annabel Jacobs if you're into that sort of thing. Personally, I didn't like the books. When a book all about sex is boring then something is definitely wrong.

    I've never read books like this before and don't know too much about BDSM; but I will say I loved the story... The sex scenes do get a bit much when every page you turn they are having sex, but over all I really enjoyed it and loved seeig how their relationship evolved... I read all 3 books in less than a week... LOL... I was obsessed and couldn't put it down.... I will be reading the whole series again!
