The people who are SO shocked by these must live in a bubble. The kinkiest thing is a butt plug - that or the balls....what do y'all think?

It was written in response to Twilight which I think is hilarious! I mean they parallel in SO many ways.

the Man - controlling, obsessed with safety of other person, way more worldly than protaganist, damaged in some way
the girl - doesn't realize she's drop dead goregous apparently, won't leave said man despite horrible danger to her safety, is willing to enter a new world because she loves him

they even have the dad weird relationship - the dad likes to fish and watch baseball

The Man has a sister they all love....and a brother that teases about sex

There's even the non white love conflict!

...the mom is not overly present....

the catalyst is a danger to her life

goes on and on.


I heard that the characters' names were the same as Twilight and she had to change it when they actually chose to publish her.

LOVE the fact that twilight has almost zero sex and these are chalk full. I mean damn they have sex like four times a day, and the first book takes place in what three weeks? four?

The whole series takes only five months or so - if that. and the sex does get tiring.


I like them. It doesn't take great literature to grab you. In fact I know a lot of great literature that bores me to death - I think books are like art - if it does it for you or affects you, then it's good.

Phew. I didn't want to mention this because I wasn't sure if I was being overly critical but yeah, I found the sex to be pretty regular, especially considering all the hype about it being so shocking.

I don't know if this contains spoilers so...keep that in mind, but this made me horrified/crack up/and puke all at once

LOL ohmygod I couldn't listen to the audio because I'm at work but I read the text anyway.... I'd forgotten about the part where he removes her tampon. Sexy!

[Panacea]

I was dying!! LOL And in the cookie monster voice...he couldn't even hold it at that part, the guy started laughing

i am just about to start the 3rd book. I am enjoying them.. yes they are erotic but tbh i have occasionall skipped a a sex scene that seemed to be there to pad out the book. cos i am genuinely interested in the relationship. I do feel that they have built the characters up well and by the end of the second book i am deffinately in love with christian lol! oooft super rich super sexy!
