    I read this book out of peer pressure and I guess a little bit of curiosity. What a waste of time. Ya it is pretty steamy and sexy but it's all hype. I would suggest finding another read.

    Over-hyped because of the cover and the fact Harlequin didn't produce it. The story was grade level not epic, it's love scenes simple and too short for what it was raved about. The dominance of character was minimal and it was a total let down. The whole series dragged on and the ending was weak and left me feeling like I'd wasted my time. But the hype said it was a must read....hmmm who are these people? Clearly they have never picked up a Harlequin Romance Novel, those can get pretty steamy. I swear the only reason this book had the ratings it had was because of marketing and the cover. It was a cover that didn't scream, "I'm reading about sex." Which means when women had time to read (like on a subway) they could and not be looked at weird for carrying it around. I heard the movie was even worse than the books. It's was a let down to read but I applaud the publishing company for their excellent marketing plan.

    I read this series because of all the buzz surrounding it. Although there were times I liked the books they seemed to be few and far between. The story line was ok but the writing in my opinion was very poor. I liked the characters well enough but felt the books dragged on. I have read other books from this genre since and have enjoyed them much better then this series, a bit disappointed :(

    I wouldn't call it a literary masterpiece, but it does suck you in. You want to continue reading in an effort to learn about how things will pan out for the pair.

    This book should be banned. It is all about control and abuse. Burn it.

    I read all three of the books in this series, I needed to know what all the hype was about these novels when they first came out. While the first book was somewhat interesting it all went down hill from there. The third book I almost could not even finish, it just failed to draw me in at all into the story line. I can see why people are so fascinated by the story line but truly there are more expectational books in this genre that will certainly leave you wanting more

    I read the entire trilogy and didn't lose interest, but it could have been written better. The writing had an amateur feel. It is worth reading once, though.

    Ugg this book was terrible!! So cheesy I can't understand why everyone goes crazy over it. It's not even that shocking or adventurous. So poorly written it could have been a teen who wrote it. Lame and boring.
