i think i started to read those once. they were interesting, but i stopped in the middle of the second or third book when, if i am remembering correctly, the two main characters decided to have sex for the fun of it or a learning experience or something.... that's really not my kind of thing.
Wow...surprised there isn't more of a fanhood here. I am currently reading her latest in PB, The Will of the Empress. Then totally drooling and waiting until the new Beka Cooper one comes out in paperback. Since I work at Barnes & Noble, I keep pretty good tabs on all my books.
