Casee: I’m still reading Deadly Silence by Rebecca Zanetti. I’m starting to get depressed. I want to put this down to a DNF, but I’m too hesitant to do that because it is related to the Sin Brothers. I’m so close to being done. After I’m finished with this book, I’m going to read Family Sins by Sharon Sala. Or I might read Elle Kennedy. I’m ready for a good binge read.
Holly: I spent the week binge-reading Ilona Andrews’ backlist. I came to the Kate Daniels series late (as in this year was the first time I read it), so I had a lot of catching up to do. I read Burn for Me, the first book in the Hidden Legacy series. Then I moved on to the Innkeeper Chronicles. I read both full length releases, Clean Sweep and Sweep in Peace, then I started reading One Fell Sweep, the third book, which is a serial available most Fridays on the site. I wasn’t going to start it, because I hate serials, but I started reading and couldn’t stop and now I have to wait for the next installment and I’m dyyyying. Ugh. After that I read Silver Shark and Alpha: Origins. Now I’m trying to decide what to do with my life since there are no more releases scheduled in 2016.
Rowena: I spent the week waiting for the weekend to get here but I also read some books. I finished P.S. I Like You by Kasie West (good stuff), then I read The Hating Game by Sally Thorne (great read!) and Addicted by Elle Kennedy (good but not the best). My favorite read of the week was probably The Hating Game. That was a fun book. Now I’m reading Ruled by Elle Kennedy. I’m not far enough into the story to really tell if I’m going to love it or not but I’m hopeful.
What are you reading this week? Any new favorites or books that drove you crazy? Share!
I read started Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews last week and finally finished the beginning of this week. It was really good, but I’ve been in a bit of a slump so reading has been slow-going. After that I read the first two books in Terri L. Austin’s Beauty and the Brit series along with the novella that comes between them. The first book, His Every Need, was okay. The heroine agrees to be the hero’s mistress for a month in exchange for him not foreclosing on her family’s house and for paying her mother’s medical bills. It wasn’t my favorite set-up, but I liked the characters. The novella is just the first book told through the hero’s eyes so it was pretty repetitive. I just finished the second, His Kind of Trouble, and I liked it quite a bit.
Up next is a library book, All the Little Liars by Charlaine Harris. I also can’t wait to read The Hating Game by Sally Thorne which I should hopefully get from my library’s digital collection soon (I just moved up to the first in line so hopefully it’s read and returned asap!).
Hi Celine!
The Hating Game was an enjoyable read so I hope you get to read it soon and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 🙂 Happy reading!
I finally got my copy of Rookie Move so i’ll be reading that this weekend !
Yay, I hope you like it! Leo is everything!
Leo was everything until I read O’Doul’s book. Patrick>everything.
I read The Hating Game and enjoyed it, although I really wish the author had given us a few scenes from Josh’s POV. By the end of the book, I was a bit tired of Lucy. She just seemed really young and immature to me and I had a hard time believing in her business prowess because of it.
I also read a SciFi romance novella called Jarek, by Celia Kyle that featured a hero from an alien race of were-dragons. It’s one of those guilty pleasure books. The world-building was a bit thin, but apparently she has a whole other series (featuring an alien race of mer-creatures) that this spins off of so maybe things are better explained there. Anyway, it was enjoyable enough that I looked up the rest of the series. It’s all on Kindle Unlimited so I may borrow the next one as a Prime loan – I admit it, I’m a total sucker for dragons LOL.
I can see that, I liked Lucy..but I liked Josh more. I thought that between the two of them, Lucy was the more immature one but still they worked great together as a couple and that scene when Lucy gives Josh’s Dad a piece of her mind? Loved it.
Oh wow, mer-creatures and were-dragons?
Books recently read ~
— Cake: A Love Story by J. Bengtsson which I enjoyed; this features a rock star hero with a traumatic background and a very down to earth heroine.
— the contemporary new adult romance Steadfast (True North Book 2) by Sarina Bowen; this was a good read with an ex-convict hero struggling to overcome a drug addiction.
— the contemporary new adult romance Damaged and the Beast by Bijou Hunter. I’d heard rave reviews of this book, but it didn’t speak to me.
— a re-read of Sarina Bowen’s The Fifteenth Minute (The Ivy Years Book 5)
— a re-read of Thea Harrison’s Oracle’s Moon (Elder Races Book 4)
I adored Steadfast. Jude was so much better than I expected (and my expectations were pretty high).
I think I need to reread Oracle’s Moon. It and Dragon Bound are my favorites of the series.
I’m in agreement, Holly, as Oracle’s Moon and Dragon Bound are also my favorites in the series. I’m currently re-reading Thea Harrison’s The Wicked. Grace and Khalil appear in this novella as secondary characters; it was fun to see them a year or so after the events of Oracle’s Moon.
I haven’t read that one in ages. I may need to do a novella reread as well.
