I have never typed on a blog before and stumbled upon this by chance. I would like to say that I have read most of Lora Leigh’s books and would have to agree with most of what was said above with a few exceptions. I myself couldn’t read the August books or the Bound Hearts series, I could never understand how sharing your love brings you closer to them.

I would recommend the last of the Nauti Series, Nauti Dreams. It is a very touching story and romance. There is some erotica but nothing hard core like some of her books. Also, from the Seal books I would recommend Hidden Agendas and Killer Secrets for the same reason.

As for the Breed series I think you have to like a little of the Sci-fi to enjoy these but Dawns Awakening and Kiss of Heat were the more romantic and touching of the stories.

I tend to like more love and commitment so I do agree that alot of her books include too much sharing, older man lusting after girls since they are 16 and that sort of nonsense.

I just finished Hidden Agenda and my first Lora Leigh…I loved it and can’t wait to read some of the others. Keri

Probably the best erotic romance by Lora Leigh that I read was Forbidden Pleasures. You might want to check that one out. There’s actually a hilarious video on YouTube featuring a bunch of college students reading aloud from the book.

I’ve never read Lora Leigh before, but I was considering this book. The problem was that while the blurb makes it sound like it’s got all the right stuff to satisfy me, I’ve been disappointed before. Lucky for me I decided to research reviews and stumbled on yours! Erotica is fine, but if we slap a romance label on it, let’s have a hero that is actually likeable. To each his own, but it sounds to me like Slade didn’t know how to keep it in his pants or show any sort of true devotion to Jessie, rather than just plain possession. He loves her, but he sleeps around right after he gets the girl of his dreams? Undercover assignment or not, there are ways around sleeping with your “wife”. How about saying no? I like my heroes human, but Slade doesn’t sound like he qualifies as much more than a hounddog.

Looking forward to your other reviews!

Maili, Jane does a lot of neat stuff that I ask her about and then she’ll explain it to me using only simple words of one syllable. Then I try it and fail and she rolls her eyes and ends up doing whatever I couldn’t.

That is the one I used and it didn’t work. I’ve amended style.css and the like. *scratches head* Hm, I will give it another go since it works in your case. Cheers for the pointers. :D

The spoiler plug in can be downloaded here:

http://www.navidazimi.com/projects/wp-spoiler/

(there are couple of different spoiler plug ins but I think this one is rather elegant).

Then you have to add this code to your theme’s “css” stylesheet.

/* Spoiler Tag */ .spoiler { background: #000; color: #000; }
.spoiler_hover { background: inherit; color: inherit; cursor: pointer; }

Then, in the post itself, you would type blah blah blah < spoiler >blah blah blah< / spoiler > (without the spaces)

I did note that the spoiler shows up on the RSS feed. Haven’t gotten around to emailing the author on that.

Jane can do anything with this stuff. She’s amazing. But I’d like to know how she did it too!

Off topic: not long ago I had that wp-spoiler plug-in installed, but it didn’t work [I did everything it asked me to do - I think]. How did you do it? Is there some magick going on? :)

LOL Well I have to go sit by Karen, I like her stuff and liked this book more than the last two I have read.

And I read all FOUR of the August men books ;). hee in fact I took the ones off tara’s hands so she wouldn’t dent the walls.

But I have a way high squick tolerance and don’t read to put myself in the story or fall in love with the hero or heroine or have any want to be the heroine. I want to enjoy the story, the plot and the writer has to sell me on her character and why they will lurve each other forever and evah. But with romantica/erotic romance whatever you want to call it, I factor in different things. Eh I am gonna ramble forever. So I will shut up now.

Samhain has some great stories and I think something for everyone. But Lora Leigh, I think you are right you aren’t gonna like.

Although I did enjoy Elizabeth’s Wolf *eg*. And Keishon, yeah I doubt you would like her.
