i can't judge the authenticity of her British voice, so must defer on that. But i did enjoy the enjoy the characters and story lines at first, and stupidly bought all the books in the series. However, they have become increasingly depressing, and I can't bring myself to start book 10, or which ever number the s&m one is - the description of the plot in the reviews is just so dismal.
She seems to have lost heart herself, in the last few books. The main characters act 'out of character', and I wondered if she is just writing from necessity, rather than truly having more to explore with the series.
I guess the moral is that I shouldn't buy a whole series at once, because I feel some pressure to read them! But I just can't in this case.
