The Erotic Novel

Hello! Let’s catch up on our reading… I just finished reading “Dirty” by Megan Hart and it was not what I expected at all. It was far better!! Since it was an erotic novel, I thought it would be all about dirty sex and porn, I was so wrong. (Who want to read about porn anyways? Ok ok I admit I wanted to know what was all the fuss about erotic novels.) After reading the first two chapters I was ready to give up because it started off kind-of bold and boring but for some reason (maybe lacks of books) I continue the reading and I very glad I did. When you get into the characters, the book gets so much better and it was awfully intriguing. The story is about a woman who meets a stranger and become kind-of friends just for sex but eventually he falls in love with her but she can’t open up to him because of her dark childhood secrets. For me it was just like reading any good book but instead of bypassing the intimate scene, the author let you in on all the details. The story line was very interesting and the writing style was fun. I enjoy reading it plus I must confess I was even turned on for a couple of pages and let’s just say that even though my boyfriend didn’t read it, on Saturday night he enjoyed the erotic novel too! LOL! The title doesn’t do justice to what a great read the book was. I would definitely recommend it!

On my next reads I have:

• "My Name is Memory" by Ann Brashares: Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life crossing continents and dynasties, he and Sophia (despite her changing name and form) have been drawn together-and he remembers it all. Daniel has "the memory", the ability to recall past lives and recognize souls of those he's previously known. It is a gift and a curse. For all the times that he and Sophia have been drawn together throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart. A love always too short. From 552 Asia Minor to 1918 England and 1972 Virginia, the two souls share a long and sometimes torturous path of seeking each other time and time again. But just when young Sophia (now "Lucy" in the present) finally begins to awaken to the secret of their shared past, to understand the true reason for the strength of their attraction, the mysterious force that has always torn them apart reappears. Ultimately, they must come to understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together. (summary from back cover)

• "Undead and Unwed" by Mary Janice Davidson: Betsy Taylor turns 30, still single, gets laid off, is killed by an SUV and wakes up dead all in the same week. The vampire community is convinced she's their prophesied Queen. But she's not having any of it! And now the undead world is being turned upside-down by a Bela Lugosi throwback and her subjects expect her to take care of it! Why didn't she read the handbook? But her would-be consort, Eric Sinclair, is (annoyingly) ever-present. If only he wasn't so tall, dark, gorgeous...and undead. (summary from back cover)
