What do people see in the Dark…books, I mean?
I have just finished a book that I absolutely hated….loved…hated…loved?????? I gave it 4 stars – WTH?!?! It was really well thought out with a very interesting idea that took shape in a sick, horrible fashion. Seriously, what do people see in these stories. There was no lightness, love and care shown. When there was the mirage of care given, in my head, I couldn’t focus on the words or the actions. All I could think about was how we got to this horrible, messy place and how can people not see the manipulation of mind and body for the perversion it was. I could not look at any of the “carers” with anything but disgust.I made myself read this book to step out of my comfort zone. I can honestly say that I want to go back to my hearts and flowers. I want my hero’s eyes to be filled with love instead of manipulation, and the tears in the heroines eyes are from joy and not from humiliation and misery.Will I go on in this trilogy? I am curious to see what will happen next, but I may be reading with one eye open. I don’t like what is hidden behind the curtain and I don’t think Julianna is that keen on it either.Maybe this was the best way to step out of my comfort zone? Maybe I should go on and hope for the best? Maybe there is a Happy Ever After Hero for Julianna, but I don’t think I have met him yet. But if I have met him, he better stop messing around and step up to the plate!!!
Thank you J C Cliff for the complimentary copy of your first book and know that it was a very good way to step out of my comfort zone.

I don't mink experimenting with dark but I always come back to my hearts and flowers :-) ♥
It is only fair :-) ♥
Thank you my lovely :-) ♥
Thank you my lovely :-) ♥
I definitely will, but I think I'll be picky :-) ♥
Let me put it this way...I wouldn't gravitate to them normally, but sometimes I want a little grit to my reading. I think my main problem with dark reads is that I don't want to put myself in their shoes. I generally read romance because I picture myself and what I would do in situations that arise. This sort of read I need to be firmly on the observation deck :-) ♥
Thank you my lovely :-) ♥
Thank you my lovely. I definitely have to be in a certain mood to read them :-) ♥
Thank you my lovely :-) ♥
Thank you my lovely. I totally agree with you. Definitely have to stand on the observation deck for this one. I do not want to picture myself in the heroine's shoes for dark reads :-) ♥
Thank you my lovely :-) ♥
Thank you my lovely :-) ♥
Thank you Mysza, you're very sweet :-) ♥
Cyndi this is dark with a whole lot of darkness on top. They talk about being with other women to train them but I can't remember if you actually "see" it.
It was too dark for me too. I read it with one eye open and my fist clenched. I'm sorry to have turned you off but I would have hated if you read it and blamed me if it wasn't what you thought it would be.
