Post-Hurricane update

Seanchai and I are both fine - our part of Brooklyn didn't flood or lose power. We didn't even lose internet (everyone else in our neighborhood lost their cable, but since we don't have cable to begin with, it didn't affect us).

The rest of NYC, on the other hand, is an unholy mess. Something like 20-25% of the city has no power, and the subway system is still shut down. The subway lines under the East River flooded, which means we're going to be cut off from Manhattan for days until they get them pumped out and repaired. (I think they've opened the bridges again, and the BQE, but atm the only way to get anywhere in New York City is by car).

Canonical het A/B/O novels!

...okay, not quite A/B/O, but there is going into heat and knotting.

So, several weeks ago, I was scrolling through the Brooklyn Public Library ebooks section looking for SF/F books I hadn't read yet, and came across a paranormal romance novel about a part-wolf super soldier who'd been genetically created in a lab, and the evil scientist's daughter who falls in love with him. Since I like super soldiers (obviously, or I wouldn't write Captain America slash fic), I checked it out. A couple chapters in, the first sex scene came up, and I thought to myself "If I were reading a slash fanfic about a part-wolf character, I know what would be coming up next, but this is a published romance novel, so it'll never happen here."

And then, lo, there was knotting. ( And more, so much more )

Anyway, to sum up:

Lora Leigh's Breed series contains: het knotting, mating heats, people's kisses canonically tasting like honey and chocolate, het anal, and spanking.

I know this is relevant to someone out there's interests.
