Not going to lie, I skimmed a good bit of this book upon reread. I'm just not into spiciness as I once was and don't really enjoy reading it. However, Jason does include a fair bit of character work for Anita, J.J., and Jade, so I couldn't just skip the entire book. The character work is great. I think the discussions had here definitely needed to be had and it's nice to get them without something crazy-pants going on in the background. Just a nice, chill, sexy weekend for Anita and the gang. I really enjoyed it.

So, I introduced one of my aunts to Laurell K. Hamilton's writing as we were browsing at the library one day. She was interested in audio books and I recognized Hamilton's name on one of the Merry Gentry novels... which I still have not read to this day. Anyway, my Aunt picked up the book and later discovered that it definitely wasn't one she should be listening to with the kiddos in the car/around. Which... I didn't know at the time given a) not read Merry Gentry and b) the Anita books hadn't quite gotten to that point yet at the time... I got a bit of a scolding about it. 🙄
Cut to Christmas 2014 and that same Aunt gifted me this book because I'd asked for it. This book is, like, 99% sex, which I'm pretty sure my Aunt still doesn't know. It just made me laugh as I was reading the first time and amuses me to think about now.
Also definitely don't think the Anita Blake books are kid friendly even without the sex, by the way.
