Fifty Shades of Grey

Update

Hi,

It has been a long time since I posted and I just want to say, BUSY!!! Please, forgive me or you can just blame my muse. I don’t mind which. Anyway, February is turning out to be an exciting month. Let’s see, we’ve got Fifty Shades of Grey releasing, I’m looking forward to this movie. Yes, I’ve decided I’m going to the cinema to see it. I’m not good with being patient lol. Also, Jamie Begley and Sarah Brianne should be releasing books this month. I’ve got my fingers crossed about that.

Right, I should move on to me. Let’s see, I finally finished Alex’s story and he made me cry so much. When I first started writing his book, I hated the man. I couldn’t find a single thing to like, now, I think he’s my favourite Skull :-).

I’m about to hit submit on Snake’s book, and again this story took my by surprise. However, I’m now going to show off some new cover art, I hope you like it. Releasing February 20th, Pure Filth

purefilth1lRule one: No sex without a condom
Rule two: No sleeping together
Rule three: No kissing on the lips……

They were the three simple rules that James lived by as an escort. He owned Pure Filth, the escort service that guaranteed men and women satisfaction. The she made an appointment and everything changed.

Bring a virgin at twenty-five was not Haley’s intention but she didn’t trust men. Her drunken friend’s suggestion has Haley making an appointment.

One night with his rules broken, James can’t get enough. He offers Haley the chance to experience everything she has missed out on. All she has to do is give herself to him.

What starts out as an adventure soon has both of their hearts on the line. Can Haley get over his career? Can James give up the life that he has built up for the only woman he’s ever loved?

Quinn'sVirginWomanAlso, Quinn’s Virgin Woman is now available for Pre-Order at All Romance E-Books.

Claiming his woman will be his greatest mission yet!

After completing his last mission Quinn Powell is leaving the Navy SEALs behind to tackle what just might be his greatest challenge yet, claiming Kaley Woods. The woman is both his sister’s best friend and Quinn’s greatest weakness, two things that would send any sane man running in the opposite direction. But then Quinn’s not the type to run.

When Kaley heard that Quinn was coming home, she wondered if he’d still affect her in the same way. Now that he’s living in her apartment, she has her answer. Everywhere she turns, he’s there—strong and intent—his effect on her more powerful than ever. She knows he’s returned in search of something. What she doesn’t realize is he’s come determined to make Kaley his…in every way possible.

The Wonder of Fifty Shades of Grey

The Wonder of Fifty Shades of Grey

Fifty Shades of Grey has become a world wide sensation with many reports saying that it will soon become a feature film. When I first heard about this book, I read the negative reviews first and was put off buying it. Then I found many people from different discussion groups, talking about Fifty Shades of Grey, and I just had to see what all the fuss was about.

 Fifty Shades of Grey

When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.

Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.

Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.

The main reasons I decided to read this book,

1. The connection it had with the Twilight series, as I did enjoy reading those books.

2. It seemed to have caused some negative response due to the theme of the story.

3. I found the books on the shelves in two of my local supermarkets so far.

Three reasons to read a book, so I did the only thing I could, I bought the book and set about reading the story which has captured so many women.

I loved it. Fifty Shades of Grey had everything I love to read about. It had an enjoyable plot, well-worked characters, and some steamy sex thrown into the mix. The chemistry between Ana and Christian had me gasping at times. I loved how possessive he was, to the point that he knew so much about her. E.L James has written a story, which to some extent reminds me of Twilight (only for the first person writing) but also transports the reader into the story.

There are only a few books that I read with the first person narrative and so it was a surprise to me when I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Now, there have been many comments about the way that it is written and I don’t feel qualified enough to criticise a piece of writing. I know the moment I switched on my kindle and began reading the book, I was transported and held in place by a wonderfully told story. I do not agree with the view point of ‘Mummy Porn’. This story has so much more going for it than that.

The other benefit I feel, is the amount of other books I’ve found because of Fifty Shades of Grey. There have been many lists created on what to read after you’ve read Fifty Shades of Grey and because of this I have found so many wonderful stories which are listed below.

Books I’ve read:

Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

Bared to You by Sylvia Day

Sempre Forever by JM Darhower

Unforgivable by Lindsay Delagair

Untouchable by Lindsay Delagair

Books I’ve yet to read:

Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens

Gabriel’s Inferno by Sylvain Reynard

Mercy by Annabel Joseph

Black Butterfly by Sienna Mynx

I now wait with impatience for E.L. James to announce that she will rewrite the same series but in Christians, point of view. I know I’ll be buying that if or when it comes out.

So, what are your thoughts? Did you like Fifty Shades of Grey? What other books have you read since to get your fix?

I would love to hear your thoughts.
