I love hot sex scenes as well as the next 58 year old grandmother, however I would like a plot thrown in too. I have read all of Laurell's books and have been a fan for years but her last 4 books have cheated her fans. I could read an adult magazine, i.e. Playgirl, Penthouse, and write 200 pages of steamy xxx sex. And if that is all I wanted to read I would buy those magazines or the paperbacks by Anonymous. Sorry but I am going on to other aurhors like Kim Harrison and I won't be back. Four strikes, and babe that's all my money you are going to get. PS I would write a review of the book if there had been something like a plot to review.
