I have read all the the Bared to you books and the Sweet series and this falls right in place with these! ]]> <![CDATA['HOT']]> 2012-09-21 14:55:29 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:55:29 UT EzI7QhvO5s0jp_TrwN_OYg By: hookedonbam It is sad how poorly this book is written and edited. There are MANY words and phrases that are completely overused throughout the book and the series. __br__That being said, it is HOT. Many aspects of each character are simply impossible to believe, but I found myself reading all three books anyway. The sex scenes are extremely erotic, so don't let your kiddies get ahold of them! I found book 2 to be the best of the series. Even with all the repetitive phrases and unbelievable standards set up for the characters, they are highly enjoyable to read, and re-read. The sex scenes make it all worth it. SO HOT.__br__If you like what you're reading once you reach page 100, be prepared to run out and by the second book because the cliffhanger will leave you wanting it fast. ]]> <![CDATA['LOVED IT!!!!']]> 2012-09-17 22:50:53 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 22:50:53 UT 9Usu_rDAi9YmAS1tvJBLYQ By: Tiffster I have never been into reading.. this series tied me in and I am hooked!! Haven't put a book down since! Will reread in a heartbeat, as soon as my friends give it back!! Im OBSESSED!!!! ]]> <![CDATA['Fifty Shades of Cray']]> 2012-09-03 00:32:49 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 00:32:49 UT kV8sAKsj3CXbUu3eF3WlbA By: Here Be Bookwyrms "...All the women who swoon over Christian Grey and think this book is romantic and steamy...I worry about you. I worry about the teenage girls who undoubtedly also read this and get all swoony over it, then end up in abusive, toxic relationships themselves, thinking they've found their own Christian Grey. And you know, if the BDSM thing actually is for you, and if it actually was something Ana could get into, the relationship probably would have been pretty okay. But under no circumstance was anything that went on between them actually okay. Consenting begrudgingly because you are afraid the person will leave you if you don't is NOT the same as actual consent. __br__I'll admit Grey had his moments of being charming and likable. But that doesn't make up for the rest of it. I have nothing against the BDSM lifestyle. Between two adults who both understand and consent to the details, it can provide an exciting and erotic aspect to their relationship. But when one person doesn't really get it and thinks it's some kind of phase he can be therapied out of, and the other person is an overbearing, possessive stalker, the relationship is not at all healthy. It wouldn't be healthy if the BDSM were not a factor, and the BDSM doesn't make it suddenly acceptable. __br__I find it amusing that so many people got riled up about this same behavior being exhibited by Edward Cullen toward Bella in the Twilight saga - getting jealous about other guys, warning her against spending time with him, sneaking into her room at night to watch her sleep...but when it's Fifty Shades of Grey, it's suddenly ideal romantic behavior.__br__And speaking of Twilight? I dare you to read this book and not get the sneaking suspicion that this is actually fanfic, rewritten so it could be published without a lawsuit.__br__If civilization is really going to come crumbling down at our feet this December, then I am taking this book's best-seller status as one of the signs of the coming apocalypse. I don't believe I'll be subjecting myself to the rest of the trilogy if it's all going to be like this."__br__For full review, please visit me at Here Be Bookwyrms on Blogger:__br__http://herebebookwyrms.blogspot.com/2012/09/fifty-shades-of-grey.html ]]> <![CDATA['Loved the series']]> 2012-08-15 11:37:02 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 11:37:02 UT 8Vr8JNryqV2iEgmL0tVHVw By: ERnurse73 I am Catholic and attend church and YES I read the books. I read them for fun and it was an excellent story. Of course I highly doubt many of us are having that kind of sex that often and I skimmed some of those parts but dang wouldnt you love to have a steamy love life like that! At any rate I liked the story. You can always be a victim or you can be a survivor, sometimes it takes someone stronger than you to help you overcome! Great story and I highly recommend! ]]> <![CDATA['Fifty Shades']]> 2012-08-05 19:48:12 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:48:12 UT 1BazI_x4Xahdes-wsasvSA By: Kristina0705 WONDERFUL!!!! __br__I absolutely love them! ]]> <![CDATA['overated']]> 2012-07-27 21:39:00 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:39:00 UT 0y13C36p8x0zEY-vws0yjA By: mac91 honestly with all the hype these books are getting I expected better. Personally I like an actual plot and story line its basically just the sex scenes ]]> <![CDATA['Fifty Shades - LOVE!!!']]> 2012-07-10 22:21:43 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 22:21:43 UT spHTXAFug7jBZhECVvbpQA By: K8yHenry Absolutely obsessed with this trilogy! I have read them twice and am about to read for the third time. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! I would recommend to a mature audience that has an appreciation for a great love story with incredible sex scenes. I could not put the book down, which is rare for me. Opened my eyes to a completely new drama. Once you have finished this series, I would recommend, to help cure your book hangover, to start reading Bared to You by Sylvia Day. __br__Now I am in love with Christian Grey.... ]]> <![CDATA['Fantastic!
