She writes great erotica with strong storylines. Another one of hers is 'Trinity', which is closely associated with her Cascadia Wolves series. Witch + cat shifter + wolf shifter = hotness. *g*Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281267776361355788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276928600092211687.post-29093951342335663402011-02-22T14:35:22.712-06:002011-02-22T14:35:22.712-06:00Agree.

Ryo and Dee are cops so you have action, emotion, and once you get to the later chapters - smoking hot sex.

You hit most of the good ones for those dipping their toe in the water. However if someone wants to ease in without any graphic smexin' Sean Kennedy's <i>Tigers and Devils</i> is a great choice. totally romantic and no on-page penises (peni? are they like octopi?)<br /><br />If someone is a bit unsure about m/m I'd recommend they stay AWAY from anything written by Sean Michael. Some is sweet sure, but you just never know when a fisting scene is going to crop up and smack you in the face. Better to save those for when you are ready to push the boundaries significantly more. :-)Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.com
