Can we talk about Motorcycle Man since I was one of many of your DA readers who bought it this week? I have to admit that when you said it was a long story I sort of blew over that and didn’t pay any attention. By the time I got to chapter 693 I was beginning to think that recommending this book was a joke that you and Angela James were pulling on your readers. But then, no, here was the Epilogue…. which went on another 794 pages. I swear I laughed so hard at the seemingly endlessness of this novel that I mostly missed the entire ending.
I went from that to buying the author’s newest book Knight. Wow. I was mesmerized, transported, enchanted, provoked, enraged, engrossed, appalled and couldn’t put it down. It is NOT, NOT, NOT for every romance reader and I won’t go looking for more like KNIGHT but I’m so glad I got a chance to read something so different – not necessarily refreshing – in my chosen genre.
Oh, and I bought and read the first Rock Chick book. If it had been the first of Ms Ashley’s books I read I wouldn’t have bought any others. I know they’re favs of yours Jane but it just didn’t work for me, I’m so glad I started with MM.

@joanne: They aren’t necessarily faves of mine. I hadn’t read Motorcycle Man when I read the Rock Chick books and at that time, I felt like the first Rock Chick was the best representation of Ashley’s work for someone who didn’t want to read about a pimp as a hero. I do think that Motorcycle Man and Knight are some of her most magnetic reads. I also enjoy At Peace which has a messed up relationship and goes on forever. The hero is a bit more like the one in Dream Man and Motorcycle Man.
