Amy - I haven't read any of her books ... are they the sort that make you wish for the quality and class of "Big Spankable Asses"?
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ooh, Kensington. Aren't they the ones who have shut Dara Joy down because she broke her contract and wrote an SF romance for another publisher?

And I think Jennifer Crusie's comment was more to the point of they have been bashing Edwards for quite some time for bad writing (it was something along the lines of "did Cassie Edwards run over your dog?")
Right, but then one of the Bitches did a search to show that they A) don't mention Cassie Edwards all that often (proportionally) and B) actually focus on her even less.
Go P-C, keeping up with the Bitches!
Or keeping up with Cleolinda and therefore F_W. Although I first saw it linked by 'Suela.

Pretty much, IME. At any rate, I don't recall the raunch level, but general quality-wise, they really are bad. Or so I remember from a gazillion years ago - how long has she been putting these out?

Someone said she'd written 100 books ... possibly an exaggeration.

I wonder how she chooses titles. Does she have a little box of nouns in a hat to pick from and put "Savage" or "Wild" in front of?

"meticulously researched"
I'll say.

Because books.
Dorchester (Leisure Books) is the one who shut down Dara Joy. And it's all pretty complicated -- more than her simply writing a book for another publisher, I think.
Cassie Edwards has been writing for a looooong time. And yeah, her stuff is cliched and overwrought and full of stereotypes and just ... icky. There's good!bad guilty-pleasure romance, and then there's her, in my opinion.
