The author is Lynn Hagen. You can find details at the links below. Please note many of the comparison passages in these articles are not safe for work as they contain graphic adult situations and language. (a.k.a. the "Really Good Bits".)
http://www.prismbookalliance.com/201...h-ethan-stone/ http://welcome.raythereign.com/lynn-...arism-exhibit/ https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show...amming-readers I heard about it on Goodreads via someone blogging about the blow up on Facebook when someone in a Yaoi community over there spotted all the copy-pasting. See also https://www.facebook.com/permalink.p...d=253447287597 She has worked with Stormy Glenn, an equally prolific author of similar titles. I am torn between keeping or tossing the books I have listing her as co-author because they are parts of a series and the plot won't make sense without them. If she and Glenn aren't the same person, at least some of my collection is safe. But just seeing her name on a cover puts me right off. The only consolation is that I didn't buy everything like some fans of hers did so I'm not wasting maybe a thousand dollars or so by getting rid of them. Many I had borrowed, though with plans to buy when it came to the ones I was collecting. Now I just can't go there at all. Did a search on Google and Goodreads for her other aliases, have not turned anything up yet. Lynn Hagen is a pen name, too, and as far as I and many of her former followers are concerned, a poisoned one at that. |

There's a big $0.99 sale on Entangled's Covet line which features PNR. It looks like there are about 20 titles on sale this week.
Here's the link to the Entangled website with the listing: Entangled Covet I enjoy PNR so I've tried some of these. They are usually always decent to good reads, relatively short, so not a ton of world building to get bogged down in. I'm sure I'll end up picking up at least a few of them. ![]() Check prices carefully because only about half of the books are on sale. Last edited by worktolive; 10-12-2015 at 08:20 PM. |

Thanks for letting us know. I've never read anything by her, and now I never will!
(So far I've only looked at the goodreads link, but if that is how Raythe writes, blech! Why would anyone want to plagiarize bad writing?) Last edited by booklover6; 10-12-2015 at 09:23 PM. |

Last spring I binge read her Brac Universe, which is made up of 7 interconnected series involving werewolves and other shifters, fae, dark elves, vampires, demons, mythological beings up the wazoo. It was right about the time I'd finished the 50 or so books leading up to a major story arc that the scandal broke. I went hunting on Goodreads to see when "Saving Sean", the next book that was supposed to reveal a certain character's mysterious/tortured past and tie up a lot of other loose ends, was coming out. Only to discover an entirely different sort of revelation. I'd hoped at first it was all a big misunderstanding, then she admitted her guilt. Worse, it wasn't accidental borrowing, like when you read a book or watch a movie then years or even decades later you decide to write a story and some element or another creeps in that you could have sworn was entirely your own idea but turns out to be a rehash of the stuff you'd totally forgotten about. That would have been understandable and, when made right, forgivable. But not in this case. Her books and reputation are forever tainted as readers will always be wondering what else she's helped herself to because she was "in a hurry and needed the money".
Not to mention what other pen names she might be using, so as not to buy from her again after such a bad burn as this. |

A couple o' free short stories @Amazon:
Kiss Me Maybe - Heather Burch To Catch a Bouquet - Carolyn Brown Once Upon a Night at Sea - Barbara Longley Somehow related to Princess Cruises & Kindle Love Stories Tangent here: the Kindle Love Stories podcast is really messed up. They say they have excerpts from certain books, and play excerpts from something totally different! |
