I read the first of the Fatal series as a free book.  The mystery was good enough to keep me interested, but I did think too much time was spent in the bedroom.  Instead of just ordering the next book in the series to see if I really liked Marie Force's books, I ordered the rest of the series.  The mysteries were OK, but way too much information was given about Sam and Nick's bedroom activities.  I really don't need to know they like to experiment with sex.  I did read all of the books so far in this series since I had bought them.  I won't be buying any more.  I want my mysteries to be mysteries.  I don't want explicit details of what a couple is doing in their bedroom.  I did learn a lesson from this.  If I find a book I like that is part of a series, I will only purchase one book at a time.If you are looking for a series where a couple is featured, try the J.D. Robb series.  These are set in the future (New York in the2050s), but aren't that futuristic.  She's a cop and he billionaire computer wiz.  Their bedroom/office suit is a frequent setting in the story, but J.D. Robb writes with less sexually explicit details.P.S.Marie Force responded to my comments.  She pointed out that her books are romantic suspense and not mysteries.My intent was to let other readers know the sexual content of these books pushed my comfort zone.  I prefer to let my imagination fill in the details.The J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) books I mentioned above are also romantic suspense/futuristic suspense, though they are classified as mysteries at my library.  The relationship between Eve and Roarke is an important part of this series.  The bedroom scenes are not as descriptive.
