Are any of yall ladies reading or have read? What are your insights so far.

I much prefer the Anne Rice Sleeping Beauty series.
 
OMG I love the Ann Rice Sleeping Beauty Trilogy. ... its so un-Ann Rice like... At first I didn't know it was her because its written under A. N. Roquelaure but then after some research .. Shades of Grey has NOTHING on that .. I was actually disappointed at how little sub/dom role was in the book, only a flicker here and there ... I mostly kept reading because of the Christian Character ... the books aren't very well written, but they will entertain you ... It was light reading , easy, and somewhat erotic. But also some things were unrealistic .. but hey. she doesn't care. she's made her mark

Thats how I feel about them I mean after all the hype I was expecting every page to make me wanna be a SUB.....but like you said it just some light reading....

As for Miss Rice....yeah I think of Shades of Grey as wannabe Sleeping Beauty

Have you read her Anne Rampling ones as well?




Peace

I keep seeing this trilogy recommended to me on Amazon...but I had been hearing this part here a little...that enough turns me off. Might try to read when I get some free time...but now I must look for these Ann Rice books...
 
All the women on my job were gushing over it like it was something new and fresh - they were having orgasms talking about the book...

But none of the women I questioned every heard of "The Story of O", or knew who Anais Nin was, or was even aware of much better erotic stories that have been written since Victorian times :smh:

The 50 Shades trilogy is not well written, someone gave me the PDF files and I could not get through it... Hell, I have read better on the Fuck Stories section on this board!

If 50 Shades is considered great erotic writing then Onyx really needs to publish her work and get paid :yes:

I totally agree. It is just too amateurish I think the only reason its gotten this much hype is because it had been banned which made it seem more "hardcore" than it really. I find the author is trying to hard and at the same time not trying hard enough.

Just finished listening to the audiobooks and i think the book was good 7/10. I found it very romantic but the BDSM was lacking. On the other hand, my "vanilla" friends LOVE IT!!! This book is shocking for people that have not tried any "kinky fuckery" ;) before.

I've been here...even got married 2 years ago!!!!!:yes: I also read/skimmed through Anne Rice collection last night and this morning. It was great too but not enough of the romance for me. The gay/bi sex got me more than Beauty did;) Two a.m. this morning my poor husband didn't know why i was riding his cock in my ass but he didn't complain:lol: So when i woke i finished the stories and masturbated.

As for 50 Shades, i got used to her voice and think that in the end it was the right voice because it kept the innocence that Anna needed. The voice changed as she became more confident and retained some of the childish quality that Christian needed.

*waves*
And congratulations!


Not enough romance? Hmm...might still give the Rice books a try...I only got two romance movies I love so that's not a big deal breaker with me.


I wonder when Mosely is going top put out another erotica book? :confused:

:) Am very happy for you my dear :) congrats and I KNOW your hubby is a very lucky "happy" fellow. :cool:

As for the romance in the Beauty series I don't think that was a major focus which was fine by me. I guess that is part of the reason that Shades is getting more hype as well I guess some women want that romantic ish.....

no, i haven't read that one, but now I'm about to look for it in e-book, as I need some new reading. To pass the time I've been reading some James Patterson, and im quite bored...

Anais Nin is someone who has been on my to read list for awhile. I need to get cracking.

I think people who are very "vanilla" seem to be in love with this book and probably because of the romance. The story started out on in an online group that writes alternative scenes/endings to books. This one started as an alternative to the Twilight series ..

I've def read and written more erotic things.

Congrats MTL on the nuptials!
 
MY COWORKER ASKED ME HAVE I READ IT TODAY I SAID I SAW IT ONLINE NEVER BOTHERED BY CHECKING IT OUT, THANKS FOR THIS THREAD NOW IM INTERESTED:dance:
 
i think this is my first time typing over here.

a friend of mine left this book over here so ive been skimming thru it over the last week or so trying to figure out why women are going so crazy over it. did a bgol search and this thread popped up.

from what i see, looks like this is like one of those "my first erotic lit" type of novels. the gateway drug...

its really not written well at all but im sure its turning alot of young women on to bdsm.

this post is HILARIOUS to me.

Hilarious only because my wife read the books... then suggested I read them... and when I asked her what she thought of them, before I started reading them... these were her EXACT WORDS.

:lol:

Nah the books are just not well written so no matter where you are in the book its not gonna get any better. I mean think about it the whole idea of having a preview is to draw your audience and Phatkitty couldn't even get through that. :smh:

i didnt read the book but a lot of people say you have to get past the beginning to enjoy the book :dunno:


just dont know why women want to read porn though
 
Careful ladies with this BDSM:eek:

Search records show trio suspected of killing Marine’s wife were involved in sadistic sex ring

By Associated Press, AP


SAN DIEGO — Three murder suspects who shared a home equipped with a “sex dungeon” and bondage devices may have targeted a Marine’s wife to satisfy their fetishes, investigators say in newly unsealed search warrants.
Detectives said they found “bondage type sex apparatuses, toys and tools” in the home of the man and two women who have been charged with murdering 22-year-old Brittany Killgore.
She was last seen April 13 in a borrowed purple evening gown, three days after she filed for divorce from Lance Cpl. Cory Killgore, who was serving in Afghanistan at the time.
Investigators believe all three suspects were with Killgore at their home in Fallbrook, north of San Diego, shortly after the victim sent a desperate text message to a friend that simply said, “Help.”
The documents say her body was later found near a lake with neck injuries consistent with strangulation and marks on her wrist and leg that suggested someone tried to use a saw or other tool to dismember her.
A San Diego County sheriff’s detective said in one affidavit that the trio may have targeted Killgore for their “unusual sexual fetishes.” Louis Ray Perez and Dorothy Maraglino told authorities they were involved in “master, servant and slave role playing.”
The third suspect, Jessica Lopez, said she strangled the victim, fearing Killgore would upend a kinky sex ring by seducing her “Master,” according to the warrants. Lopez wrote in a seven-page letter that she believed Killgore was trying to come between her, Perez and Maraglino.
All three defendants have pleaded not guilty.
Authorities said Lopez shouldered full blame for the killing, saying she acted after the victim told her that she had an entire night planned with Perez, comments suggesting jealousy was a motive.
Lopez, 25, said she had been burned before in a relationship and knew what she had to do when Killgore entered their Fallbrook home. Lopez said she shot the victim with a stun gun, wrapped a rope around her neck, buried her face in a pillow and strangled her.
“She barely moved but she just wouldn’t die, the miserable whore,” the letter said.
Lopez said she made “a few attempts to chop her up” with Perez’s power tools and doused Killgore’s body in bleach to get rid of evidence before dumping the nude body near Lake Skinner, near Riverside.
The documents give no indication that Killgore knew about the sex ring, and prosecutors call her an innocent victim. Detectives said she accepted Perez’s invitation to a San Diego dinner cruise after he helped her move that afternoon. The warrants do not say how Killgore met the suspects.
The warrants were unsealed Wednesday at the request of news organizations including The Associated Press.
Sloan Ostbye, Lopez’s attorney, didn’t immediately respond to a phone message. She joined the San Diego County district attorney’s office in an appeal to keep the documents sealed, calling much of her client’s letter “false or at least misleading and possibly delusional.”
Detectives found the letter in a San Diego hotel where Lopez was discovered with self-inflicted cuts four days after Killgore disappeared.
The handwritten letter — below a mirror that was scrawled with the word “PIGS READ THIS” — accused police of “complete incompetence.” It was laced with profanity.
In the letter, Lopez told police Perez wasn’t responsible for the killing. It also reveals where the body was dumped, telling police they would likely find handcuff marks on the victim’s wrists. It says the handcuffs and a knife were disposed of at a beach restroom in Oceanside.
Three days after Killgore vanished, detectives searched Perez’s mud-caked Ford Explorer and found a plastic bag with a stun gun, latex gloves and Killgore’s blood. Perez’s DNA was found on the stun gun, authorities said.
The documents describe an elaborate ruse for Perez to conceal his whereabouts on the night Killgore vanished.
The Marine told detectives he picked up Killgore for the dinner cruise but instead dropped her off at a downtown San Diego nightclub. He said he couldn’t find her at the club after parking then returned home.
The cellphones of Killgore and Perez remained in Fallbrook that night, contradicting his statement that he was in San Diego, according to authorities.
Killgore sent the text message to a friend that said “Help,” at 7:50 p.m., about 13 minutes after Perez picked her up. The friend asked if she was OK and insisted she call.
About two hours later, the friend got a response, “Yes I love this party,” which fueled suspicions because Killgore always texted ‘yeah’ instead of ‘yes’ and had said nothing about going to a party.
A transient found Killgore’s phone at his feet when he woke up in the doorway of a downtown San Diego hotel that night. A San Diego County sheriff’s detective said he believed Perez drove downtown to get rid of the phone.
All three defendants were being held on $3 million bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled Aug. 21.
