Five stars are like six-pack abs on a really tan, hunky guy not wearing much. They make us drool, we stroke them (the books, not the guys! - sometimes the guys...) and want to make sweet, sweet love to them. Five stars is the hottest, we mean, highest honor.

Four stars is a total hunkalicious of burning love, but maybe we didn't like his hair for some reason. We still think he's hot, and we're still going to recommend him, we mean, the book, to readers because it's a damn fine ass, we mean book.

Three stars = that awkward guy at the party. He's cute and you know he's cute, and if you look at him the right way, he even looks like Brad Pitt a little, but there are flaws. Surprisingly, he's good in bed (because you got drunk and shit happens).

Remember that - yeah we don't either.

One star is like expecting a somewhat attractive guy and being sent a Grumpy cat meme. We appreciate the effort, but no. This book was not for us. Grumpy cat might want to use it for litter though.
Dragons, swearing off virgins…love it!
I enjoy both types of series. Sometimes you can’t let go of the main characters, no matter what stupid things they do you just want more. Then again, sometimes you fall in love with supporting characters, they are just mesmerizing that you beg and plead for them to have their own HEA.
I prefer direct series, but then they only work for certain types of books, and I only read ones that I really like. Stand alone but connected by characters is alright.
I love both way. I love a variety. It makes it more interesting. [email protected]
I have read both and enjoy both.
Lexi H. – you’re so right about supporting characters begging for their own stories. I wouldn’t have started any of my werewolf tales if it hadn’t been for Fredrick’s security adviser in Her Devoted Vampire. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Jess S. – I hope you’ll give my books a chance. Queen Bitch of the Callowwood Pack will have sequels with the supporting characters, but some of those mentioned will have less direct connections, also connecting the vampires and dragons. Thanks for visiting.
Tore – I’m the same way. I love reading authors who not only have direct series, but off-shoots that connect in subtle ways. Thanks for commenting! 🙂
JoAnna – my favorite bit is the connection so I can see the overall pattern developing. Thanks so much for visiting. 🙂
direct series i think is the best.
I like both, but I do seem to read more series where subsequent books are given to secondary characters. I do like for the previous characters to at least make a guest appearances so that you can get little updates on them after their HEA 🙂
Oh, I already follow your blog via GFC: June M.
LorettaLynn/Temprance – I like direct series too, but sometimes I miss the old characters not really showing back up. Thanks for commenting. 🙂
June M – Good to see you! Yes, I like those secondary characters getting their own stories and the cameos of the previous characters. You’ll start seeing them reappear as more books come out. 🙂 Thanks for commenting.
