Haven't yet but it is on my to do list. very soon..0

I just started the 2nd book. In my opinion, they are not as good as what everyone worked them up to be. They are good...but was expecting a little better. I heard that the 2nd and 3rd books are better than the first so I am hoping.0

I read all three. Although the porn-y parts were a little repetitive, I liked it. I don't agree that it is like Twilight, I hate the Twilight series (only watch the movies to drool over the guys).
Lol. It started as Twilight fan fiction. The characters were originally called "Bella" and "Edward" and she changed it when it started to gain popularity.0 -

It's not that it is "like" Twilight. It was written as Twilight Fan Fiction. The author wrote it as an alternative to Edward being a vampire. Made him a rich sadist and changed the names.0 -
I liked the first one. Only liked the 2nd half of the 2nd & didnt finish the 3rd. I love romance novels but this was just sex. I didnt feel like it really had a story & didnt care so much for the characters. It should have a nice balance of both. As a HIV test councelor & health educator who has to know a lot about different types of sex, theirs wasnt that kinky at all. I've heard seen & heard worse.

If you've got a Passion Parties rep in your area, many are doing "Shades of Summer" parties. Myself included. People are loving the NDA they have to sign and the requirement to bring a grey tie to the party. And yes, the industry has seen a bit of a spike.0

I just got it, but haven't had time to read much, i did skip to some juicy parts...ummm.. yeah.0

I must ask.....Anyone else reading this book?????
On Book 3 now...love them! I love the story as much as the sex!!0 -
I have just finished the first book. I would say well worth a read, though personally was expecting it to be more explicit than it was (only due to peoples shock reviews ) I think the last couple of "scenes" in the book are worth waiting for and very erotic. I started the second book straight away (so that must say a lot, as a busy working and studying mum haha) It picks up from where the first one left off, which is appealing and addictive.
I agree the story line is not like twilight (which i wouldn't have minded as I do like twilight) but the calling to a woman is the same Dangerous, erotic powerful man, younger naive woman. New experiences, protection and the looking after of the girl!
All in all read the book!! haha

Read some because of the hype, threw the book away mid way.
With all of the incredibly good erotica out there, I'm ashamed that this is what is getting the most attention.0 -

AGREED! x0 -

I think the main problem with the writting itself is that she's a British author, trying to write American. And it seems all she knows of America is what she read in "Twilight." She mixes up alot of the mannerisms and slang.
And the BDSM has to be some of the most vanilla-ly BDSM I've ever read. Christian is a cliche and Ana has no personality. I'm disapointed I wasted my money on this book.0 -
I find the 'love' between them more interesting than the sex. I'm in the middle of the third book now. Very poorly written, but an easy read and yeah, I want to know what happens at the end.0

Very poorly written, I am not sure that it was even edited. I also assume that the author was drunk or high, or both. I read all three because I try not to be judgmental about something I have not read or watched. I still enjoyed them for some unknown reason to me, but they were a quick read and I skipped over a lot of the repeated crap.
For those of you that are saying it was hot etc you go have a look at some other erotica, that **** will blow your mind if you think this is hot :P0 -
I read Gerald's Game by Stephen King. Eff that.
I guess I should point out that this was in response to those that said that we women love this crap. I repeat... Eff that.0 -
It's awful.
I've read fanfiction written by 16 year old's that reads better.
All it does is give me hope that if that trash can get published, then anybody can.0
