Not so far, and probably not ever. Thank goodness. (I like Edward, too, 
though... from a distance.)

That series is, far as I can tell, an excuse to wallow in the pretty
people and sex. It's a decent excuse, really -- there's a nature goddess
meme running through it -- but when an entire book is about maaaaybe
6 hours of personal time in the story? Because of all the orgies and
near-orgies and possible orgies and all the lovingly described and 
unique and drool-worthy fae?

We're not here for the plot. We're here for the smut. Or at least have
the disposable income and patience to get the plot in small doses.

...if you ask me how I know all this, you will see that I am in no
position to throw stones regarding reading a book with a lack of plot.

I'm still not sure if the fae-series is in the Anitaverse or not -- it
sort of _could_ be, but you'd think that Anita'd know more about fae
if it were, and there doesn't seem to be much mention. I suspect the
author herself may not have decided.

>Yes. I noticed. It's like a book full of Heather Bruton paintings, only in prose.

Heather Bruton and Nene Thomas. Mmmmm, the pretty.

I know where you can find more Bruton art -- drop me an email. It 
is perfectly legit, but involves her blog URL.
