1. Lord of Desire
2. Lord of Temptation
3. Lord of Seduction
I really wanted to like these books. The writing style bothered me immensely. She would write broad "time" statements just as, "several hours later" without really building up to anything nor really leaving you with enough to imagine what may have happened during that time. I'd think, "well, they ended here and the written words lead me here before they ended, is my imagination supposed to take me further?" Then, when the story continued 'several hours later' there wasn't anything of impact that occurred to the characters just slept or ate dinner or whatever. I would have preferred her to write something along the lines of, "several hours after their long cozy nap...," or "after succumbing to slumber for several hours..." Either would have been intimately better than just leaving it wide open with no direction.
I preferred the first and third stories better than the second. The story line was just as good, the execution of the interaction between the characters left me a bit bored. It was too much 'gush' on occasions (in contrast to the nothingness of the broad time statements) and it could have been scaled back just a bit.
Overall, I would recommend these books. I delight in reading all authors, so far, and am happy to have included these.
