Casee: May was a pathetically sad reading month for me. We’re talking circa 2017 here. It makes me sad.

Easy Charm (Boudreaux #2) by Kristen Proby (audio) | 4 out of 5
Five books. Five. My favorite read of the month was…I have no idea. If I have to choose, I would say Easy Love because I was so surprised that I liked it so much. All the books I read were really good. My least favorite was Easy Charm, but that’s only because of the female narrator. She was annoying as hell. The story was really good.
Holly: May was a sad, sorry reading month for me in terms of quantity, but I did read some quality books.

My favorite read of the month was probably Storm Cursed, though I did really enjoy both Sapphire Flames and Rafe. My least favorite read was probably Meet Cute. I didn’t dislike it, but it was more problematic than the others I read.
Rowena: I didn’t have a really strong reading month but I didn’t have a sad reading month like Casee, haha. Love you, boo!

My favorite read of the month goes to Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews. Catalina and Alessandro are a lot of fun and I’m so looking forward to more from these two at the center of all of the action. I love the Hidden Legacy world and I love the Baylors so it’s always a good time when I’m reading about them.
My least favorite read of the month goes to Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon. It’s been a while since I’ve read this book and it was chosen for last month’s book club discussion so I had to read it but it didn’t go too well for me. There were too many things that I thought were dumb and I thought Kyrian acted like an immature little shit for too much of the book, which is not saying anything good about him since he’s a freaking thousand years old and should be above thinking and acting like a kid. Don’t even get me started on Amanda and her family….especially Tabitha. Grrr. So yeah, that was my least favorite read of the month.

I empathize with y’all…I had a pretty sad reading month in May, too. My favorite book was Alafaire Burke’s The Better Sister. Least favorite was Southern Lady Code by Helen Ellis.
My favorite book of the month was Huge Deal by Lauren Layne. I thought Part 1 was stronger then Part 2 though. The heroine’s sudden change in behavior when it comes to love wasn’t believable. That said, I still enjoyed the book. I didn’t have a least favorite.
Ooh, I’m glad to see that you read and enjoyed Huge Deal. I totally know what you mean about the heroine’s behavior in the second part. Still, LL rocks at writing contemporary romances!
I had 3 fantastic fiction reads in May. They were Circle of the Moon, UF by Faith Hunter, Polaris Rising, SFR by Jessie Mihalak (her debut book!), and Teach Me by Olivia Dade which was a fabulous romance with MCs who are both HS history teachers in their 40’s. Least favorite was The Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness, by Paula Poundstone, a nonfiction which I read for my bookclub.
After a great April, I had a horrible reading month for May. I read five books all of which were good, but I’d say A Wicked Kind of Husband by Mia Vincy just edged out Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin for my favorite. No least favorite this month.
Let’s see, I did not finish a book with a very curious storyline; it was a tad too weird for me! Larque on the Wing by Nancy Springer.
As for favorites: Carla Kelly’s The Unlikely Master Genius, Earth Fathers Are Weird by Lyn Gala, and The Goblin Emperor.
didn’t like anything about Show Me the Way by AL Jackson; wouldn’t recommend to anyone
My favorite book this month was “The hating game” by Sally Thorne, I loooooved it so much I couldn’t put it down and I had to re-read it again! And my least favorite one was “The kiss thief” by LJ Shen, the “hero” (and the heroine too) was terrible.
