My thought was that she's a Master Architect from her end, he's one from the other, and the whole series would be to give them the chance to reckanize, so to speak.
Dammit he should've become blooded when he met her on the island. DAMMIT.
It nagged him, in particular, that none of the girls he’d known so far had given him a sense of unalloyed triumph.

Well, on the bright side that gives us two more books instead of just one.

Here's a question for people...
What are some trashy books that you just KNOW you shouldn't like but you can't help yourself and you read them anyway?
Something that while you are reading you are saying to yourself "I can't believe I'm reading this" and you keep on sucking them down anyway?
I have SOOOO many like that!
I think I need to start a 12 step group for people like me.

Jennifer Crusie has one of my very favorite book scenes of all time...I think it was in Fast Women with the character Nell.
Where she is out to dinner with a bunch of people and she looks around and says, "I just realized I've slept with everyone at this table."
Or something like that.

I remember that scene. The guys get all hot and bothered because she describes a lesbian experience with one of the women at the table.
Wait, is this the right book?
NewAttitude ( member #1030) posted at 6:57 PM on Tuesday, June 14th, 2011
I'm pretty sure it is... it's been so long since I've read it.
It was with her best friend and it wasn't a real slutty experience or anything... I believe they were drinking and it just happened.
But everyone at the table (including her ex, I think) were all

Yea, that's it ,it was her best friend. Her X and the OW he left her for were both at the table as well as the two private investigators.

It was hilarious!!!
My dirty secret books... Diana Palmer.
OMG!
How embarrassing, I can't believe I'm saying that.
They are horrid.
The men are SUCH jerks.
I ONLY read them because I know there is going to be a great grovel scene someplace and there is nothing better than a good grovel.
I kind of skim through them and berate myself the entire time and do a lot of eye rolling.

Lord have mercy, Jennifer Crusie is not trashy. She's the closest romance gets to lit fic.
I read one Diana Palmer onaccounta it being on a virgin hero list, and I was amazed at what a huge hateful dick a virgin hero could manage to be. Seriously like rants about how honored she should be about him saving himself. Thanks but a virgin hero who seems to think girls have cooties doesn't really work for me.
For me, M/M/F threesome erotica. Bi guys. Currently going through at least two a day! Clearly not embarrassed, though! Right now I'm reading a series on that topic that's Regency. It's not gay if they were at Talavera! PM me with your email and I'll send you samples of this brilliance!

I know, total jerk, right?
All her heroes are like that.
She obviously does the lather, rinse, repeat method of writing.
I can't give you one good reason (besides the grovels) that I read them.
I think it has to do with being stubborn now.

FWIW my extensive study of male virgin romance novel heroes has shown that the best. reason. ever. for a guy to be a 30-yo virgin is that...
...drum roll...
HIS DICK IS SO BIG EVEN COURTESANS WOULDN'T TOUCH HIM.
Brought joy to my day, that someone actually went there.

I downloaded "The Countess takes a Lover" for about $3 on my kindle.
LadyV's description was perfect. It was total porn.
I read the steamy passages aloud to my husband and we giggled like two giddy school girls.
Thanks for the recommendation.

If you want trashy, pulse racing, make you sweat, fun read the Breed Anthology by Lora Leigh .... it's so trashy/sinfull I almost feel ashamed to read it ...
Almost .....
There's like 20 books in the series. The first ones called "Tempting the Beast"

Did y'all know that there's a work for mouth-fucking as opposed to a blowjob? Irrumatio, as distinct from fellatio.
You can learn all sorts of things from romance novels!

So I just finished with Karen Moning's Fever series ... it's a pretty good series to get lost in.
It reminds me a lot of The House of Night series by P.C. Cast.

Okay I'm loving this thread! I have a trashy book addiction that I hide because it's unseemly! LMAO I buy the Argeneau series books by Lyndsay Sands and I found one called Viking Unchained by Sandra Hill...it's about a Viking warrior travels through time and is in the modern day world as a Navy SEAL in Baghdad! The very first two pages of this book were drool-worthy! There's a whole series, all Vikings who end up as military hotties. Even a couple of the books are the Viking women who end up "here" as Navy women and they are gettin' some, too. lol
Love this thread!

For me, M/M/F threesome erotica.
ladyvorkosigan Lora leigh has something similar to that. There is a book i remember reading of hers that puts these 3 astronauts (2 guys and a girl go figure) that land on this odd planet that is very similar to Earth and they are there to see if it can be inhabited .... all ofa sudden they are all having sex, threesomes, anal, uncontrollable ... something about the planet giving off some kind of "pheremone" or something to ensure the survival of the planet .... she is one of the most GRAPHIC erotica novelists I have read thus far ... Like she really goes into detail about EVERY thing they do.
From penetration, from the girls point of view to the guys point of view and things in between .... Had me going "Holy crap I can't believe I am READING this!!!!" but I just kept right on going lol ....
