I have a dirty little secret.
It's embarrassing, really, how I let it build up. First there was just one. I told myself I would stop because it wasn't prudent. Or respectable. But then I let myself slip, and I added more to my collection.
Now it is hidden under my bed, and in the darkest shadows of my closet, stacked in deceptively neat piles.
No, not dead bodies.
My dirty little secret isn't illegal (in this country)--it's books. Very smutty books. Smuttiest of the smutty, in fact. But despite the incredible number of naughty novels, only a few authors stand out. At the top of my go-to list is Jeaniene Frost.
If you're a fan of Gena Showalter or Kresley Cole, you'll love Jeaniene Frost. And I mean LOVE.
I needed to scratch my paranormal romance itch, and I was randomly browsing Goodreads' Listopia when I came across Frost. Her ratings are impressive and I had to check out what the big deal was. I had no idea what I was getting into, and I actually ended up starting her series backwards on accident--oops!
But you want to know the funny thing? Even without a clue about what I was cannon-balling into, I fell in love. Her writing is easy and fun, but her characters are full and vibrant and real. Well, as real as badass vampires can be ;P
The girls are spunky--no wimps here!--and the men aren't just hulking chauvinists, as in many romance novels. *blissful sigh* It is so rare to stumble upon such a great series! Especially since her novels are fast-paced and full of twists and turns. Nothing so easy as a bite-and-bang, that's for sure.
If you've never read her work, be aware that the sexy scenes made me blush--and I've been hoarding a dirty little secret. I've read a lot, but Frost keeps things interesting. My only comment on the smut: I hate the word loins, so the repeated use of it bothered the heck out of me...otherwise, expect a bookgasm.
Overall, the first three books in this series rates a solid 4 stars from me. Some of her novels, of course, rate higher or lower than others, but the quality of the writing is fangtastic. *begs forgiveness* --I couldn't help the pun! =P
