I hated them. I thought they were very poorly writen, and weren't very erotic for erotica. But they were bestsellers - obviously, I didn't know good writting.

You are assuming good writing is what sells books. In these books case, it is taboo and word of mouth that is selling.
I read a little of book one and realized they weren't for me.
