Megan Hart (1) (1974–)

Prelim Review: This was a disappointed for me. I'm not sure if its because I read an advanced reader's edition and thus something got lost in the digital world, or if the stories really did just end as abruptly as they, but none felt like they had a resolution.

Of the three, Megan Hart's "Nothing Else Matters" was the most interesting, though it felt under developed due to its length. The world she created, and the character of Lira in particular, was definitely intriguing. I wanted to know what made Lira immune, what the sickness was(which sounded a lot like the Rage Virus from 28 Days/Weeks Later) and what happened after.

Lauren Hawkeye's "Pick Me Up" was confusing, uncomfortable and rather distasteful to me. I'm not sure what the point of it was. Holly was either a pathological liar, a psycho or got her jollies by being recklessly suicidal. She spins story after story--she's a high paid stripper, her and her boyfriend kill hapless morons who pick her up for sex, she's the jilted woman (twice! Two different men cheated on her WITH THE SAME WOMAN) and at the end I'm left wondering if maybe she's just insane.

Saranna DeWylde's "Little Red's Big Bad" definitely engaged me. This one falls short because of its length as well (each story is under 40pgs each) so when it got going it was almost over and then well it was over.

Were these meant to be teasers for longer works? Does anyone know? If not "Pick Me Up" in particular had to have been missing the last bit of story because it literally ends with a car pulling up, the guy Holly just screwed getting worried and Holly shrugging her shoulders and saying 'Ah that would be my boyfriend'. WTF?… (plus d'informations)

This is the male POV to the book Tempted.

In Tempted James asks his old friend Alex Kennedy to come to his home to sleep with his wife Anne, while in the past James and Alex had a relationship it was over and done with after he married Anne.

Alex's side to the book is being told in this one.

I read it once, and cannot for the life of me remember how it went or ended or what. Only to remember vaugely that there was no HEA for the three of them, but it ended up good for Anne and James. I guess Alex was cut loose to his own life later on.… (plus d'informations)

This was the first book I read by Megan Hart. Although I have had"Dirty" on my shelves for as long as I have had my Kindle, I didn't get around to reading it. It wasn't unil I read a short stoy she added to an anthology (can't remember which one), that I realized her books should be given more consideration. Having a library card, I downloaded this book"Tempted" thinking it would be a standard mmf menaged triology...I guess when I saw the series being the same (Alex Kennedy) I thought it would just be an ARC with this trio.

Not an ARC, the series is named Alex Kennedy because although this book isn't in his POV, he only appears in this particular book and then there are others that he appears in without the same characters as this one.I will have to read them.This one is more character driven and although it has hot sex scenes, they are truly about moving the plot forward and not completely filled with "inspiring" commentary.Not to say that there isn't steam..it's really, really, hot.It is also a book that you won't feel guilty reading. I actually had to look up a few of the words Megan used in her descritive writing. I have a tremendous vocabulary as it is, but I almost think she had a thesaurous when I rea"… (plus d'informations)
