    Hi Sheens, I haven't read either book yet. Right now I am reading the Hot in Handcuff Series of Novellas by Sylvia Day, Shayla Black and Shiloh Walker. I have just gotten to Sylvia's novella and notice that there are others in the series. I am wondering if I should track them down first before I start reading her latest installment in the series. I asked a question earlier and I will ask it again; does it matter which installment of a series a person reads first? Will it affect the understanding of the reading material or does each novella basically stand on its own with threads that link one book to another? What does everyone think? P.S. I hope you enjoy your vacation. :)

    Hi Julie, Is Jane's Melody part of the series? I wanted to add it to the Master list. If not, could you let me know who the author is so I can place the title on the Master List of books & authors for everyone to have. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sharon, I read your posting and everything that you said makes sense. If I like a writer as well, I will also buy everything that they write, just to see a different perspective from that author. Iam currently reading one of your suggestions; "Hot In Handcuffs" and to my understanding this book is a series of three novellas by three different authors. I didn't happen to see any collaboration between the authors other than by being published together. I also noticed that these novellas were part or based on previous works. I think Shayla Black's story is the continuation of her book before which is "Strip Search". It was a second in the series. Her first book was "Bound & Determined". I think that the author hadn't quite wrapped up the storylines for all of the characters and wrote a novella to tie lose ends together. There was enough material for a novella but not an entire book. I also noticed that Sylvia Day's "On Fire" is part of the Shadow Stalkers Mini-Series. It would be really interesting to see the first part of the series, but then again, because I am new to the genre, I wonder if it really matters to have the background information. What do you think?

    Hi Stelladeer, You are absolutely correct! Everyone has their own writing style and it really is a matter preference as to whether someone will like said writing. I agree again; Sylvia Day is a very talented and effective writer. She has a great ability to twist and weave a storyline that often leaves the reader wanting more...lots more! :)

    Hi Gabri, I salute your characters! They make me smile! :)

    Hi Lulu, I read your posting and it makes complete sense to me. I was thinking about this whole Fifty Shades of Grey and Crossfire comparison thing that has been bantered about and yes, I can see the similarities but the writing styles are completely different. The books have two different themes as well; the Fifty Shades books had a very strong BDSM component whereas the Crossfire Series had really strong, graphic se* scenes and focused a lot more on the character development and dialogue with said characters. I sometimes think that we are comparing apples and oranges. Do you know what I mean? Do I make sense?

    Hi Sheens, what was the photo? All I could see was a black box.

    There are so many beautiful quotes to choose from and this is just a shining example of one of them. :)

    I liked it too Sheens! :)

    Hi Whiteybitey, Maybe your husband is just a really smart man who will use your love of HC to his advantage. If you are happy then surely he will be happy too! Doesn't the saying go "Happy Wife, happy life!". ;)

    Hi Gabri, Really Sheens is not being fair to all of us ladies. It is already sooo hooot in the world....all she has managed to do is turn up the HEAT!! :D

    Hi Sheens, Go for Michna, he's at 2 now. All you need is one more person to eliminate him and then you can go in for the "kill". ;)

Hi Everyone, Sorry about the double post. Everything seems to be working funny today. I am not sure if it is the website or what.

   

    Ok now Sharon, you are seriously hillarious!! :)

    Hi Celeste4, Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy yourself. :)

    Hi Sharon, Your suggestion of Christopher Jr. using Magdalene to get back at his mother is an interesting one. It is possible.

    Now all we have to do is convince these men that they are each perfect for their intended roles! :)

    It his accent as well Moonfeather (well at least that accent works for me). :)

    Nice!
