I haven't read a lot of Garrison Keillor but I was little disappointed in the detailed sex experiences. I was expecting something of a more family oriented story.

I only give this book a 3 due to the unexpected & detailed sexual content. Otherwise I really liked the characters & storyline.

The first part of the book was very well written but after that the quality reminded me of a roller coaster.

This was a long book compared to a lot of other m/m out there and I enjoyed that.

The sex was either meant to be funny or should have been outsourced. This was definitely not an erotic book but it was an enjoyable read and I'll probably keep it. I'm still trying to decide if it was supposed to be totally camp or if the writer was making a serious attempt at a romantic suspense novel.

While this book was enjoyable and had its share or sexy scenes it just did not keep my attention as well as the other 2 books in the series.  I don't want to give anything away but the 2 sub-stories regarding the  laudanum just disturbed me.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

Not a bad story but I did feel we should have had more explicit things besides him just filling her up all the time..

*I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.*

I enjoyed this quick read.  The main characters have good chemistry.
The story was interesting, but I felt it lacked a little heat.  With a title like Sex Ed, I expected something a little spicier.

I usually love Sophie Kinsella's books so it kind of broke my heart that I didn't love Surprise Me. In her newest offering, Sylvie an Dan, a married couple, find out that they can expect another 68 years together. Hearing this leads them to freak out that their marriage has grown stale and could use some zest.

From there I found the story to fall a little flat. Mostly, I had a hard time connecting with Sylvie. I found her to be annoying. I really wish I had just enjoyed it more.

I was really excited about this one and I've enjoyed his other works but I didn't feel like he went as in depth on some of his experiments as I'd have liked. Still pretty enjoyable.

I know I am going to be the minority here, but I was a little underwhelmed by this book. I loved  Randy, so when I saw this was a follow up book about him, I was all over it. Randy was my favorite out of the whole series.

The story followed Randy and the gang again, this time sending time together before Sunshine has her baby and the season starts. I am no prudes, but I felt there was a little too much sex Like, do friends in real life do this? That is all I kept thinking to myself. Maybe I hang out with prudes too, cause we aren't like this group.

I likes catching up with the group again, and seeing Sunshine and Balls get ready for the baby. That was sweet. I just wanted more....

Her life was interesting, but I thought there would be more comedic stuff in the book, I was a little disappointed.

I was a bit disappointed to run into a sex scene.  I truly prefer to have that left out, but this was a fun story otherwise.

I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much. Probably because half of the book was sex and not much story. I found myself skimming a lot. I still loved the characters, though, so I'll consider buying the third.

Well I was a little disappointed I thought it was going to be longer and more in depth and not so vague but overall a decent read I guess.

I have to say I was a little disappointed in this latest offering.  I thought it was a bit too dark and ponderous for over half of the storyline.  I didn't love the characters either.  I thought that Carrie came off as wishy-washy and weak.  I also thought that for a big strong ex military type and a bear too boot that Cage could have found another way to come back into Carrie's life with subjecting her to all the angst and trauma he put her through by coming back and PRETENDING to rejoin the motorcycle gang that was the heart of Carrie's problems. In addition to those problems there were several glaring typos or text problems that also took away for the story itself.

On the plus side Ms. Bolryder did deliver some really sweet and touching scenes with Cage and Carrie.  In particular their first meeting as children.  I thought the bear trapped and Carrie's rescue was brilliant.  I so sorry she chose to go the motorcycle club route as the major back drop for this story.  I thought the sex was hot, delicious and really, really hot and very much a turn on and was what really saved this from being just another so-so story.  From me that is harsh criticism as I usually love Ms. Bolryder's work.  I think as a rule she never misses but this time it was a close call.

I'd still recommend the story and give a 4 star review as it is a rare occurrence when I am not fully on board with the author.  Some of it might be I am not enarmored with the choice of background story here.

This analogy was okay. I liked a few of the stories. But it wasn't great. I guess I kept waiting for a slightly longer story or deeper story that allowed me to connect more with the characters. The only one that really did that for me was about the Ex having sex with ex-partner's new lover watching her. I won't spoil the story.

Frankly, I read the exceeding complex reviews of the 5 stars and I wondered if we read the same book.  Yes it was neat that all the gals lived or visited the same apt building and all seemed to have sex. But that idea to base a book on just didn't hold it together for me. I have read a lot of erotica and while this was varied it was just okay. Don't believe the hype.

I am an uber fan of J. Daniels. It actually makes me sad giving this book 3 stars but I had to. Brian and Sydney in my opinion were very hard to connect with. They both had struggles in life and after meeting in an interesting and hilarious way over the phone start to begin a relationship over the phone bc Brian had secrets and didn't want to meet her in person. There's a tiny bit of cute banter but I felt like this is an insta love situation and not enough real struggle. The conflicts that face them are serious and different for J. Daniels writing but I really couldn't get into the storyline. The book is well written as all her book are.

I will say I longed for parts with Jamie and Tori. I loved their banter and found them extremely fun and more interesting than the leads. I'm very excited to read their story and hope it's a hit like all the other books. Unfortunately this fell flat.

I have always enjoyed Ken Follett's novels and eagerly anticipated this one -- after all, it is my adult life history, too.  However, I had the same reaction as I had when I read the sequel to Jean Auel's "Clan of the Cave Bear".  Some editor said, "Good story, but it needs to be spiced up -- add more sex scenes".  So, they both  plopped in lots of sex to make their books more titillating.  Not good I'm sorry to say.  They didn't move the individual stories ahead and (I think) got in the way of the narrative.

I still enjoyed the book, but I think it would have been better if there had been less detail about intercourse among the characters.  Who cares?
