Passion by Lisa Valdez

Lea Hensley's review of Passion at AAR is pretty on spot with what I thought. I would rate it more of an A or at least a B+ than I would a B but I still have trouble with the whole grade thang. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the story. For a first time author, trying her hand at a romance with a heavy touch of sex thrown in the mix, Lisa Valdez does really well. I would say she is sort of a mix of emma holly and (older) susan johnston. The heroine's name is Passion, which I had a eh moment with, but I got over it quickly. Lea does a great summary so I won't redo it, just follow the link ;). I still don't get the screen thing, they are in a furniture room at the Crystal Palace going at it like bunnies behind a screen. How can people not hear something... I really enjoyed Mark and Passion's story and look forward Patience the next story in the trilogy. A word of warning the love scenes are graphic with cocks and cunts aplenty and it can be slightly purple but not in a bad way. Mark loves Passion and once he knows it, he isn't afraid to tell her. The sex, the plot and the character development all mix together well and make for a pretty tight story. Someone had asked, What is Purple. I think LLB says it best here
