My wife (and her sisters) love these books almost to an obsession.... Anyone else seen this phenomenon?

My wife got it as a gift from a friend who knows the author. Apparently the author is LDS and a BYU grad and that's why there's such a buzz about the book in LDS circles. It's by no means an LDS book, but LDS women all seem to know about it. My wife liked the book but says she thought it was a bit overrated.

Yes. My wife finished all three books in a week which is very uncommon for her.

I can relate... My wife is obsessed. She read all three books in 2 days.

Nice to know there are others.... My wife finished all 3 in a couple days too...

My girlfriend flew through all 3 books very fast. I guess the author is a BYU grad.

I haven't even heard of these books. But nice to know that BYU grad is writing an erotically charged book and not being drawn and quartered.

I'm kind of wiped out from reading part of "A Tale of Europa" so I may need a break before reading any of these.

My sister flew through the first two and couldn't find the third in stock until she found it at Deseret Book.

Q: What book has had the most significant impact on your life?
A: The book with the most significant impact on my life is The Book of Mormon. The book with the most significant impact on my life as a writer is probably Speaker for the Dead, by Orson Scott Card, with Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier coming in as a close second.
