If you have read Dara Joy’s latest works, which are out of an indy press and hard to get a hold of, her work is utter and complete shit. I mean, below the standards of a decent book no matter the genre. Fangirl stuff is better. I don’t think she can recover from the past few years ( which involve some lawsuit she had with book company.)
I stand by the earlier mentioning of her first three big books tetter somewhere near excellence to above average. At least for me. And the re-reads have always held up. And yes, it is Smut. Lovely, lovely Schmut.
BOT,
** JR Ward ** and the Black Dagger Brotherhood series sounds interesting. I’m always up for some deep meaningful brooding asskicking Vampire Pron. Which book is first? Dark Lover ? Can the books be read out of sequence?
I had no idea that she went down in flames like that. I hadn’t seen any new books in awhile, but she was never anyone I tracked, only someone I picked up when I spotted her in the store.
I agree, those first three books were the best - I still reread them sometimes too. She must have had an excellent editor at the time.
okay, if you are looking for wild and crazy smut, try susan kearney. they are a bit spacy and the first one of her’s i thought didn’t johanna lindsey do this. it was very heavily based on j.l.'s “warrior woman” which also is wild and crazy smut.
