The sex in Taking Chances was great, and there was lots of it.
That said, this was also the book where Ellery was mixing Glenfiddich and Percodan on a regular basis, Ennis was drunk more often than not, and they fucked each other unconscious on more than one occasion. I remember feeling that at moments it was extreme. Looking back in the in the context of the books that have followed, i can see that their behavior and dominating lust all happened for a reason, but the first book, standing alone left me as a reader feeling a little overwhelmed. I can put all in perspective now but I can understand how a new reader might make the comment about "too much" sex.
But don't take this as a request to write one less word, Louise. LOL

Mornin all btw..mornin June. ;) Christ it,s bloody cold today..had to scrape my car again!! :o :o I read a lot of "looking for answers" yesterday. It was quiet harrowing reading the scenes where Ellery had really hurt his back and then got drunk and hurt himself even more. :'( :'( :'( And the bits where Ennis lost his temper with him made me shudder. Poor Ellery. :'( :'( Havnt our boys come a long long way since then? Bless em. :) :)

Well, if you were to submit this story in writing for movie consideration, I think you'd have to pull out about everyother sex scene!!! LOL. And then tone down the rest just to be able to get an R-rating! LOL.

Thats the thing isnt it David? The bloody censors would have a field day with it and cut a lot of the sex out. :'( :'( Mind you, I think it,s a wee bit much to expect poor Heath and Hugh to do some of that stuff though, it would be nice though lol. ;) ;) :laugh:
Mind you after BBM i think that a lot of people, myself included, wondered what all the fuss was about, re the sex scenes? You see FAR more with men and women. It was only R rated because it was men, not because of the sex, because there wasnt really that much. :'( :'( :'( :'(
