2008-01-28 As always, a great read, but....

I have to admire this authors ability to keep one riveted from the first to the last page. She is an extremely talented writer, and I will continue to read her books because there is never a moment when one feels bored or loses the plot. The only negative for me is; does there have to be so many very explicit sex scenes - could not the story be just as riveting without them (or at least, leaving SOMETHING to the imagination!). I'm definitely no prude, but after reading my 4th book, I find it all getting just a tiny bit tedious. I wonder whether anyone else has similar opinions. Why do so many fantastic writers think they have to include pretty lurid descriptions such as Susan Lewis does. What a shame.
