Casee: I’m still reading/listening to the same books I was last week. Yep, I may have reverted back to my curse. One bad reading week isn’t going to get me down, though. It just wasn’t a great week. I’m a little farther into Archangel’s Prophecy by Nalini Singh. I just simply love this series. This series is it for me.
I’m also still listening to Phoenix Unbound by Grace Draven. It’s gotten really, really good and I’m hoping to finish that off in the next few days.
Holly: I spent the week mostly re-reading. I binge-watched The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix, and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. That took up a lot of my reading time.I reread Fantastical, Broken Dove, Midnight Soul, The Time in Between, Sweet Dreams and The Gamble by Kristen Ashley. I know, I know. Once I started I couldn’t stop. I finished listening to Natural Dual-Mage by K.F. Breene and started a re-read of Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs.
I’m currently reading Sleepover by Serena Bell.
Rowena: This week was a pretty slow week for me on the reading front. I blame my having to watch and re-watch Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House with everyone in my life that I forced to watch it so that I can discuss it with them. I’ve watched the entire series 2 and a half times and I enjoyed watching it every single time. It’s so good, you guys should watch it for yourselves.
I did manage to get some reading in though. I finished Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs and enjoyed that one, even though I was expecting a bit more with the villain in the end. Still, it was a good addition and I’m looking forward to continuing the series. After that I started three different books before I finished one of them last night. I started Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs, Wait for It by Mariana Zapata and Sleepover by Serena Bell. I finished the Serena Bell last night and thought it was a cute romance. A great single parents romance that made me smile and look up the other two books that are linked with this book (even though it’s listed as a standalone, grrr). Today, I’m going to jump right back into the Patricia Briggs book and finish that one and the Mariana Zapata book over the weekend.

A new kind of love story about flipping houses, taking risks, and landing that special someone who’s move-in ready…
SHE’S GOT CURB APPEAL
Rian Sutter grew up with the finer things in life. Spending summers in The Hamptons was a normal occurrence for her until her parents lost everything years ago. Now Rian and her sister are getting their life, and finances, back on track through real estate. Not only do they buy and sell houses to the rich and famous, but they finally have the capital to flip their very own beachfront property. But when she inadvertently catches the attention of a sexy stranger who snaps up every house from under her, all bets are off…
HE’S A FIXER UPPER
Pierce Whitfield doesn’t normally demo kitchens, install dry wall, or tear apart a beautiful woman’s dreams. He’s just a down-on-his-luck lawyer who needed a break from the city and agreed to help his brother work on a few homes in the Hamptons. When he first meets Rian, the attraction is undeniable. But when they start competing for the same pieces of prime real estate, the early sparks turn into full-blown fireworks. Can these passionate rivals turn up the heat on their budding romance — without burning down the house?
I FLIPPING LOVE YOU, set in the Shacking Up world, follows two people, both working in real estate, who find themselves vying for the same properties in the Hamptons, leading to a sometimes-not-so-friendly competition.

Read this week ~
— enjoyed AJ Rose’s Reaping Havoc which seemed seasonably appropriate as it features a reaper. I then went on to read the sequel Reaping Fate.
— enjoyed a re-read of Cooper West’s Parker’s Sanctuary: A Guardsmen Novel along with the FREE prequel Rescued: A “Parker’s Sanctuary” Story and the very short sequel, Second Chances. Also re-read Cooper West’s The Protector.
— Shadow Hunt (Disrupted Magic Book 3) by Melissa F. Olson which I enjoyed. This is definitely a series to read in order.
— enjoyed re-reading Tigers and Devils by Sean Kennedy.
— read Out of Bounds (The Boundaries Series) by A.R. Barley. This was a pleasant read, but I doubt it’s a book I’ll be re-reading.
Lake Silence by Anne Bishop. At first I missed Meg, Simon, & the other characters from the first four books, but then I got into the story.
I too missed those familiar characters from the first series, Jana Leah, and the story struck me as a tad silly on my first reading. I’ve come to enjoy it more though with each re-read. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book coming in March.
Looks like the new book will be set in a different town too.
Yes, I noticed that, too. It does feature a character that made an appearance in the first series, so that should be fun.
Cake by Lauren Dane. It was a short & fun story.
I finished If I Only had a Duke and started Blame it on the Duke by Lenora Bell.
nothing now
I am reading While I Was Sleeping by Dani Atkins. Her books always make me cry!
Lark the Herald Angels Sing by Donna Andrews. This series never fails to disappoint.
