I just know that I won't be able to deal with the eating disorder stuff.<br /><br />Stories where a character clearly has an eating disorder, but it remains unacknowledged always make me worry that it's like that because the author thinks the behavior is normal. Then I start worrying about what's going on with her IRL and it totally pulls me out of the book.LoriKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-54571691655185760352010-01-22T07:56:19.377-08:002010-01-22T07:56:19.377-08:00Cindy: From the "best of" that I read la...Cindy: From the "best of" that I read last year - Let It Ride by Jillian Burns (a Blaze) and The Man Most Likely by Cindi Myers (an American). Everyone seems to be swearing by Sarah Mayberry, but alas I haven't read her yet. She had an HSR out recently, but mostly writes for Blaze.<br /><br />Let's see - Karen Templeton, who writes for Special Edition. Ellen Hartman and Tracy Wolff who both write for SuperRomance. <br /><br />I also really, really like Carrie Alexander's Supers - but her most recent (which was GREAT! - A Holiday Romance) features Ye Olde Closed Bedroom Door. I think the sexxoring is in her others though - specifically her North Country series, that takes place in Michigan's Upper Penisula.<br /><br />I've also really liked Beth Andrews - who writes for Super. Gee, ya think I read a lot in the HSR line? LOL<br /><br />That's what I got off the top of my head - and without any caffeine yet.....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-20597206103393450752010-01-21T23:32:12.086-08:002010-01-21T23:32:12.086-08:00Hey Wendy - I want to start reading some series bo...Hey Wendy - I want to start reading some series books and was wondering if you have already done a post on authors you would recommend.

I haven't bought one in ages ::sob::! And I loved the Michigan setting. It was a nice surprise!<br /><br />Jami: My advice would be to avoid this one. Yes, the communication was great - but the Desire line is just too short to accomodate conflict this involved. The heroine's issues with food really are not addressed well at all (IMHO). I could roll with it - but if it's a hot button for you? Yeah, this one will probably make you Hulk-like angry. Jami mad! Jami smash! LOL<br /><br />Magdalen: I like your idea of a mental epilogue! <br /><br />The heroine definitely exhibits classic anoerxia behavior. She "needs" to lose five more pounds even though she's UNDER weight to the point where she's unhealthy. There's even a scene where the hero forces her to start eating a balanced diet, and after "gorging" herself on a <b>sensible</b> dinner, she actually thinks about running to the bathroom to purge!<br /><br />Um, yeah. <i>Twu Wuv</i> is not going to solve that problem cupcake!

Anonymous, so she doesn't have to tell us (the readers) or Pete, but she gets the benefit of support and understanding from the rooms.

The way the eating disorder is glossed over makes me want to stay far away. As a fat girl, one who deals with her issues of self esteem by holding everyone at arm's length and even purposely pissing them off when I feel they're too close - I don't think I could handle something like that that's just glossed over.JamiSingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756726189949304645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-21726065819128786082010-01-21T12:32:04.120-08:002010-01-21T12:32:04.120-08:00Wendy:
