Why on earth would they connect these two products?

Not that it would be helpful to the person doing the dangerous activities in the long run...as in the UK at least you can't legally consent to being harmed...

Oh, it's certainly useless in terms of legal redress - it's not a prenup ! As for the letter of law on the subject, that's a whole different can of worms....

No we now talking sex.
If everyone filled in a form to say what they were and weren't willing to do in a sexual relationship, before it started, it would stop alot of the problems........... before they started.

Hence martial instead of marital ? Cos as we are all told over and again, tying the metaphorical knot (as opposed to the literal one) spells the end to the sexual interaction between individuals ?

Nah. If I wanted to insult, I'd have asked "Team Edward or team Jacob" ?

I bought the 1st book......opened it.....then realised it was Thursday & Take a Break was out so did the puzzles in that!

I passed it to my friend & she's nearly finished. didn't recommend it though!

Now I'm even more surprised this book is so popular as it seems everyone is saying how badly written it is. Makes me think there might be a lot of money to be made by writing this type of book !
Some of the reviews on Amazon are hilarious so I was tempted to read it just to have a laugh but I dont want to waste my money.

Dont waste your money, its badly written rubbish! Im glad i only borrowed it off my friend and didnt buy it myself. I think the reason its sold so many copies is because people that dont usually read books are falling for all of the hype that this book has managed to generate.:rotfl:

I was put off getting these books due to the reviews of people who read all the time, I'm a reader, not day goes by without me reading.

I visited a friend last Monday and she said she loved it, so I came home downloaded it to my kindle app and started it just after tea time. I finished all 3 books in 48 hours, I loved it.

The first book I wasn't too fussed on, the sex scenes were all samey but once you got past that I loved the development of the relationship. I'm a romanticist anyway but I would recommend these books to anyone, intact I did to my friends who were put off by the sex scenes

It's appeal, seems to be with the non book reading public, they've just realised you can read a book and it can be interesting. Maybe we should roll with that.[/QUOTE]

I agree with this, the first I heard of it was on a bus in Runcorn, two women were talking about it and how they hadn't read a book since they were at school, they were at least 40.

What is wrong with people haven't they heard of Nancy Friday......
