Neither of my local town libraries have anything by her. Nor does my local Borders. Is her stuff sold in paper form in any nationwide chain, or do I have to wait for someone to get bored with it and give it to my local used bookstore?

All my LMR are in e-versions, though I know she does have books in print. She is a very "hot" author, and I mean by the sex scenes not by popularity, so maybe your libraries don't carry erotica/romantica?

[Elaine S]

All of her books are available in paperback - check out amazon as most are available second hand. They are more expensive than some but then for it would seem that those books categorised as erotic seem to cost more. Anyone have any ideas why? I can only think it's because the audience is not as big as for, say, Harlequin/M&B.

Elaine is correct, you can find all Rice's previous books in paperback, especially if you check out Amazon or Barnes & Noble on-line. (I often order used copies of older books through their on-line service.)
In the meantime, the last 2 Rice books--Dangerous Lover and Dangerous Secrets --are published in trade format by Avon Red, the, "erotic" imprint of HarperCollins. My copies were readily available at B & N, but often they put them out on the new paperback table, rather than shelving them in the romance section.

Hope you can get to read her books--I am a great fan!

And I found her last two in the Erotic section of Chapters - not in the romance department.
And I'm a fan of hers too!

I'm still scratching my head over why LMR's books are considered erotic romance. There's nothing there that you wouldn't find in "regular" romance (in fact, what they actually do is even more 100% vanilla than in many regular romance novels). Also, in her Avon Red books, at least, there isn't an unusually high sex-to-plot ratio.

I do find her books hotter than most, but just because the emotions involved are so intense, the same way Linda Howard's books used to be hot, for instance. I'm not really complaining... I mean, this is what I would love all erotic romance to be like (so I could just go to the bookstore and sweep the entire shef into my shopping basket, LOL!).

You can get most of Rice's books at Ellora's Cave electronically. Two of the best, in my and many other people's opinion, are "Midnight Man" and "Midnight Angel," a beauty and the beast tale. Although characters from "Midnight Man" occur in "Angel," it's minor and the book can be read alone. IMO, these are fabulous reads, even better than Rice's last two novels, available in paperback only. Ellora's Cave also gives you excerpts which will tell you whether you will like the books or not--they are accurate predictors.

Please let me know what your reaction to Rice is, ok?

[Kass]

I don't do electronic books. I want paper copies. And I don't trust Ellora's Cave. Their editing is extraordinarily bad. If I can't flip through a book before buying it, I won't.

Only Barnes and Noble, hm? Seems strange to me...Borders carries all sorts of erotica from EC as well, I don't see why they don't carry Rice, too.

Borders does carry Rice, they just sell out fast. Around here, they have more copies of various Ellora Cave books that B&N which has more individual copies of much fewer titles.


I'm totally with you about preferring paper to electronic; I don't have an device, so I run them off on paper which is not as good as a paperback, I grant you. I don't remember seeing any glaring (or subtle) errors in Rice's e-books, but it's always possible that I overlooked some.
