Isn't that always the way?

If I'm reading alone then no, but when Alan & I read together we prefer third person. That's because the 1st person ones are almost always female POV, and it's weird when he has to read aloud about his labia or something.

I think, on it's own, the movie is probably fine. But knowing what the book was and then seeing the movie interpretation... oy!

I am not normally too critical of movie adaptations of books because I know they just... turn out different. ... more
I don't like it when movies aren't like their books. It's upsetting to me, lol.

I think I've started a couple of hers, but never really committed to them. Not sure why, though

I started with The Witching Hour and was completely hooked, I definitely think that the Mayfair witches books are her best.

There weren't too many of those in this collection. Most were somewhere in the middle between what people would call "vanilla" and "hard core". Only like 4 or 5 had sadism and humiliation and the like.
I always admire Rachel's ability to balance her anthologies with a variety of stories so there are at least a few in every one of her collections that you will really love.

I've never read any of her books, but I hear good things.

It's very nice. We didn't do it much until we started with the book club, but now we really enjoy cuddling up for a little while before bed and reading together.

I do have to say that the scene in which Dana Delaney spanks the male star with a hair brush while he's tied up is seriously hot... enough to remember it ten years after the fact.

I think the book, as written, was just not suited to be made into a mainstream movie.

Oh goodness... I can't remember! (Baby brain here...) I think maybe we did one set of her BDSM anthos. I know we're doing She's On Top and He's On Top in the coming months.

My boyfriend's third language is English, so he's not big on reading but I am a big book reader.

She definitely shines in that respect, and there's always one story in each of her anthologies that REALLY stands out as unusual. Those are usually the ones that we like most (although this time I got more of a charge from it than Alan did).
