Kindle Unlimited rocks! But finding books you want to read that are not KU πππ That is frustrating! My hubby has me on lock down for buying books above and beyond KU (I dont blame him ππ€£) Regarding the anthology... so far.not impressed. I am trying to get thru it without much luck and have skipped stories with issues such as asthma and ADHD. So we will see how I feel once I get thru the whole book.

OMG I take back what I said about "Because He's Perfect." I suggested it after reading the stutter story, which I actually LOVED and I was hoping the rest of the short stories would be as good as that one. I didn't even think I was into that but it was a nice one. The blindness one pissed me off too! I read about half of it and gave up. It was far too creepy for my taste (and I can read some dark stuff). That's not my jam at all. I REALLY liked the HIV one though. (Not devvy, but just a good story I thought because I hadn't read anything similar to it). Many of these are hit and miss in the book, but for $0.99 I didn't see that it was too much of a risk.Β You should read the book In Tune, Out of Sync. It was soooooo good. Not Kindle unlimited, but worth the money.

I am trying to get thru it without much luck and have skipped stories with issues such as asthma and ADHD. So we will see how I feel once I get thru the whole book. Again, yeah, I had ONLY read the first story (speech impairment) when I rec'd to the group, and I was seriously hoping the rest would be as strong as that one. I thought it had promise. I skipped both the asthma and ADHD I also skipped the OCD. (I feel that annabelle did a much more captivating story with OCD than this author did with Crazy in Love). Again I liked the HIV story. I only read half of the erectile issues. It started out interesting then went off into left field. I felt she had this guy that was kinda humble in the beginning then he went all alpha. I love a good alpha male, but it just seemed like too much of a character switch without enough of a transition for me. I skipped narcolepsy. Skipped diabetes. Read half of heavy scarring. Skipped ticks. I REALLY liked the male infertility one though, again, not devvy but just a well written, sweet story. I'm on the MS one right now, and it's not too bad so far. Again, another story that annabelle did better. LOL. It's hard to top anything she writes though! She's so good. So, for $0.99 I'm not gonna gripe too much because I got a couple enjoyable short stories out of it. I'll finish and let you all know what I think of the rest.

Thanks tori for the advice. Yes, I imagined KU similar as Netflix just with books. But to be truly honest, I donβt read as much that KU would make sense for me. However, maybe this will change now that I figured how much devy literature is out there π

But, there are tons of free, and really nice books/short stories here on the paradevo site.

I'm glad I got "Because He's Perfect" for only 0.99 because the price just went up to $4.99. I left my bad review on Amazon, although looking at the other glowing reviews, it seems most people only read one story out of the lot.
I'm still stunned that this kind of rape romance is being published today. I thought it was a relic of the past. But then I read about the new novel The Mister by the same person who wrote 50 Shades of Gray and omg it sound 1000 times worse. The article is hilarious though--now you don't have to read the book!

I'm with you. I haven't read any stories where the woman is held against her will that I can get behind. I THINK what these writers are going for is a modern-day retelling of Beauty and the Beast, but it just does NOT work in todays society. I DNF'd the rest of the book.There were no other stories I really liked other than the ones I mentioned previously in this thread. Glad I didn't pay the $4.99 for it.

I started a book called 'Southern Comfort' by Cecelia Dowdy It is on Kindle unlimited.
The love intrest is blind.
I, sadly, did not finish this book. I really tried.
1. It's christian romance. I am not christian, but I can ignore the christian stuff for a good book. Not this time. 2. It seems the book is more about the relationship between mother and daughter. 3. Just goes on and on and on....
So, no, I do not recommend this book, but others might like it, so I thought I would share.
Enjoy.

Ok.... sometimes I need a book so bad that I pick up weird stuff.
The girl in this book is called Devi, so I had to read it. Lol!
Its about.....an alien amp, and yes it's nothing but a smut book disguised as scifi.
It is called: Devi's Distraction by Ruby Dixon.
