So far, not sure what all the fuss is about on Dark Lover, but its entertaining enough trash. Ward did actually seem to put a little more thought into her vampire world than most of the paranormal romance writers I have read though. As much as I like urban fantasy (which is not all that different really, I suppose) you would think I would enjoy it more.

Good enough to check out at the library, but not good enough to spend money on?

I'm getting ready to start my first J.D. Robb book. Got it at Barnes and Noble with birthday money - I remembered you saying how you liked her "....in Death" books.

I wouldn't buy it no, but yeah, definitely worth a read if you enjoy romance.

Oh, I LOVE the In Death series, much more than I thought I was going to, totally addicting. I've actually read them all I think. It is weird that I have never read anything else by Roberts.

They are, they are individual mysteries, and you could easily read them out of order I think. But it follows the same characters, so there is a lot of relationship development. Naked in Death is the first one, if I am remembering right.
