I enjoyed those first few books. I was even eager for the sexing to begin and really glad when it did. But...somewhere along the line...the characters got dumber. The sex, never particularly well-written as it was, got worse and worse and worse. The plots went bye-bye (for me it was Narcissus in Chains--um, if she can complete the obstacle course it means she's a were now, so the poor wereguy "killed" her, and if she can't complete it they'll kill him anyway, but nobody even stops to think that if she can't complete it she's not a were and he therefore didn't actually "kill" her to begin with? Sheesh. I've read bad porn with less plot holes. Oh, sorry. AB is bad porn.) And yeah...I'll be honest, I tend to fall a little in love with my heroes, and I usually like my heroines, but I don't see something in a store and think, "Oh, I should buy that for so-and-so" and then realize on my way to the register that that person isn't real and is in fact a character from one of my books. I seriously worry about the woman's mental health.
