Raw Desire by Leah BrookeGood/Okay.  I read this series back to back and that can be a good thing and a bad thing in some ways.GoodI remembered all the characters, their personalities and stories. This became a world fully flushed out in my mind.  There was no need to go back to previous books to familiarize myself with the past doings. Each new story also showed glimpses of past characters and showed me how they are doing in their lives.BadThe scenes seemed repetitive but with name changes. I noticed more inconsistencies in the stories.  Often repeated phrases pop out more.  Some of the things that I didn't like in the previous stories continued throughout the series.This story was good but could have been better for me if it didn't repeat a couple of things.  The threat of `SPANKING'!  Enough and spank her already!!!  Ally whined way too much.  I wanted to spank her myself. ;) LOLI felt that the way the story was written Ally favored Dillon over Ryder, well except for the end and the tattoo she got with his name.  Ally didn't spend enough time connecting with just Ryder.  To me the story focused more on Ally and Dillon's relationship.  There was a brief food shopping excursion between Ally and Ryder that was fun but that was just talk.  She compared Ryder too much with her ex and I didn't feel that they resolved this to my satisfaction.Having said all that, overall I did like this series and I'm looking forward to reading Royce and King's story Submission to Desire.
