Sheens263 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 The beautiful series is amazing!!! Hey Jen, Â I know you told me before but I forgot to write it down, can you tell me who wrote this series again? Â I have not started the Gabriel Inferno series yet, still on the first Stark Trilogy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I wonder how many of the books on the master list are hot/open door/explicit (like Crossfire) and how many are more traditional romance novels. I've noticed that there's a lot of variation, even within Sylvia Day's books. Some of the Renegade Angels books are more explicit than others.  GiGi, I mentioned that I read the newest Anita Blake book. I'm not really sure how to explain that series. It's by Laurell K. Hamilton, who writes two series: Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, and Merry.Gentry. Both series are contemporary and paranormal. The Anita Blake books (there are currently 22) have been marketed different ways. They are mysteries. They've been sold as fantasy and horror. There's explicit violence, and, starting midway through the series, increasingly explicit sex. They are not romance novels; the arc of each novel doesn't follow the love story. Hamilton's books are bestsellers, but the writing, well . . . I've heard similar criticisms to Twilight, Fifty Shades of Grey, etc. It can get a little clunky and sometimes the writing distracts from the story. But Hamilton's a storyteller who has created an interesting world that I find compelling. The Anita books are about humans, vampires, wereanimals, zombies, etc. all living in a contemporary America.  The Merry Gentry books are more sexual right from the beginning, but also violent, and each novel also follows a mystery arc. That series is about ancient European courts of faerie relocated to contemporary America.  http://www.laurellkhamilton.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteybitey Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Just finished the last book in the stark trilogy, I really enjoyed the books, no where near as good as Crossfire obviously but still a good read and the final book tied up alot of loose ends altho the last few chapters did feel a little rushed! Now what to read next?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteybitey Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Has anyone read the Art of Love series by Donna McDonald? They're quite a good easy read, follows a family of male artists. The father and 2 sons and the stories all intertwine. Nice easy reads and some nice love scenes too, not as hot as Gideon but think we all know Sylvia set the bar with them!!!

Reading chapter 1 and the snippets, it looks promising. I love the idea of the Italian family. After reading Sylvia's Georgian series, which I loved I need a new outlet. Before Captivated comes out!
