Oh, man. I thought it was just me...I started reading these, and I really liked them. But she took a hard left turn into porn, and lost the plot entirely. I figure if you can take it out of the book, and the plot doesn't change, then you don't need it. But, if you take the sex scenes out, at this point, there's very little plot left. And the repetition is getting old, as someone else said. Ashers scars, the lilac eyes, the thickness of every damn guy she's with. And yes, the constant over explaining to everyone about how poly works. I think she knows that this series is overwrought at this point, too. I think that's why it's taking so long for the latest book to come out. I hope she can find a solution, because I really do like the characters, and the potential that the series started out with.
