Me: Omg I just read a romance where there's *snowballing*.
Lord_v: <looks queasy>
Me: I mean I did sort of read something like that one time but it was mmf and it was the dudes but this is *hetero*.
Lord_v: <looks queasier>
Me: And it's not even like she has some sort of kink background. She sells insurance, she sounds like she shops at Kohl's. How you gonna go from zero to snowballing like that? It takes more than a tatted up pierced guy to take you from Kohl's to snowballin' in 70 pages. I mean he scoops that shit out of her and like shoves it in her mouth and kisses her. WHAT.
Lord_v: Well, at least it wasn't felching.
Me: There will never be felching.
Lord_v: <arches eyebrow>
Me: There is no felching in Romancelandia. There will never be felching in Romancelandia.
...
If there is ever felching in Romancelandia I will stop reading romance novels. That is how confident I am that there is no felching in Romancelandia.
Lord_v: <trots downstairs to the computer room>
Me: You're going to go look up felching in romance novels, aren't you.
Lord_v: I'm sure gonna try.

It nagged him, in particular, that none of the girls he’d known so far had given him a sense of unalloyed triumph.

You'd think, after everything that I've seen/ heard/ experienced/ captured via keylogger, that I'd be up on all the lingo but I seriously had to jump over to Urban Dictionary to make sure "snowballing" was what I thought it was.
Yep, it was.

I saw the post a couple of posts up about BDSM that wasn't too light. There's a series out called the original sinners series by Tiffany Reisz that so far has 3 books in it and a bunch of short stories that are free on her website (the short stories are free, the books aren't). The books in order are The Siren, The Angel, and The Prince. There is also a Novella called Seven Day Loan available. I will warn you these aren't for the faint of heart in any way shape or form.

Aww, Charlotte Stein's Addicted is so sweet. And pervy. The hero is full of so many "I can't be like that guy in 50 Shades of Grey" self-doubts. I love romance because it loves guys.

It's not her best, but of her frequently used hero types, I like that blend of Enthusiastic American Puppydog plus Manwhore Service Top quite a lot. She hasn't put those two together in one package before.
Overall I think All Other Things is my fave of hers.

Does anyone else read Shannon McKenna's McCloud series?
If so were you aware that Miles gets his own book in September?!
It has been a long journey from him living in his parents basement, having terrible acne, and getting treated like shit by that cow Cindy. Bless his heart, so much affection for him.

Just read Maya Banks first in a new trilogy.

Took a couple of chapters to get going then I could not put it down. Good trashy read!

If you like turn of the century characters then I just read:
Scandlous Lovers by Robin Schone
Takes a bit for the characters to fall into place but again once I got there could not put it down. Read it in one day. I still like the good guy winning yet wanting some hot sex! And this one is also good for us over 40 crowd who thinks they won't find happiness the 2nd time around.

Robin Schone is a trailblazin' hero for getting totally porny in the early 90s...
But man, those partial...
Sentence paragraphs of hers..they are just...
So bizarre.
Just read the new Kristen Ashley Chaos book and she has almost cured herself of annoying hero tics. It's 3/4 of the way through before she falls back on that "beauty" crap and I swear he used a personal pronoun at least once. He also apologized for a specific offense and barely even demanded she instantly let go of her deserved anger in the wake of him saying "Sorry." Progress, people!

Lady V you do crack me up!
I am weird that way where I fluctuate between sweet and funny sexy to strait out lay it down funky dirty racey etc.....thats why I always like to hear what other people are reading.
Like others had said, lets hope no one decides to look thru my Nook to see what I am REALLY reading.

starrysky- hope you like it, it can be triggery and uncomfortable to read at times but I enjoyed the series.
