Wild, Wicked & Wanton, Jaci Burton

Title: Wild, Wicked & Wanton
Author: Jaci Burton
Published: 2007, Berkley Heat
Category: Erotic Romance
Rating: errr...

Okay, I am so not an expert on erotic romance. It is the fastest growing subgenre in romance it seems, but I have to say that all that sex is a bit (okay, a lot) distracting for me when reading a story. And this book is just one great big long string of sex scenes.

I really can't do a review without blushing up a storm, so I'm going to do a total cop out and send you all over to see Wendy Duren's review at Paperback Reader. I agree with everything she says, and she says it so well. I wish I could write reviews like that.

So, my grade? As an effective piece of fiction, it gets a 4. As a steamy, hella-hawt read with nonstop sexin', it's a 7.

LOL, Jennie, 10 lips? That's got to be a record!

Jennie said...

Definitely a 10-lip read. ;D

Mailyn said...

OK, that's a lot of lips for a lot of sex. I'm just guessing. LOL.

POTC3 yet?!?! I'm all crazy about it!

As much as I need to have sex in my romance books there is such a thing as too much of a good thing ;) I haven't really read too many erotic romances but the few I did were short story (Secrets Anthologies) and they didn't really work for me.

Mailyn--Is POTC3 out yet? I'm going to see it, just don't know when. :)

Cindy--I think it depends on what you're looking for. If I want a nice love story, then I'm going to be distracted by (constant) explicit sex. But I don't think the point of this book was to show a well-rounded love story. It was just about sex. ;)
