MN Lisa’s comments from the Hooked on Books group.

Ok. I know who the mole is and Ben's breakdown almost made me cry.

I was surprised about the mole's partner, but I really think there are two players and one puppetmaster...I'm at 80%, so lets see if I'm right.

I also think Jaz might be part of something.....maybe an investigator of some sort???

Sorry??

Matthew, Roan, Joel, Brock, Angel along with Ben and Sean. Those seem to be the important ones.

So far I think this is better than the first one. Maybe due to the length, they didn't feel like they had to pack an entire relationship in so few pages?

The slightly Dom/Sub (at least so far) is not mentioned anywhere or tagged. I bit surprised when it came out and seems to be more than just a slight mention.

Chapter 8. This tension between the two of them is getting ridiculous. I can see how Ben need someone to take care of him a little and Sean needs some stabilization. But the jealousy is getting to me a bit. You can be friendly with coworkers and still keep the boss/employee relationship intact.

OMG. I want to smack Joel. Got to see a little of what their relationship is like. Its very much me and Jeremy. He's very much go with the flow and I'm very much plan and agenda and ideas of what to do. We compromise a lot when we travel cause he would travel like Joel and I couldn't do that.

I see a friendship coming between Ben and Sean because of him so that's good.

The other thing that confuses me is the series is named "Sloan Brothers", but there isn't a Sloan in this book. It's Pierce and Miller.

Also, it seems like Ben is a habitual rule breaker. Apparently dated a coworker once already....

I am so thrown by reading Talk To Me first. Sean is a supervisor in that one (if I remember correctly) and in this one he's brand new. It's just throwing me for a loop right now.

I just "cheated" and searched for Chase. they aren't mentioned until Page 311 and it states "dealing with Max and Chase last year", so maybe this goes for a long time?

That works for me. I'll plan for Saturday to start, but can easily move Sunday.

I'm starting this today. :)

When did you want to do Halo. Just trying to plan out my next few books. I'm not in any hurry. I've not listed it for TW or Wheel and its just in the Entertainment for Travel.

Were you not bugged by the hair sex? I have had really long hair, and I would NEVER do that."

I kinda skimmed those places so I don't remember all the details. I vaguely remember trying to figure out how that would work. LOL. :)

I'll just do what I did with this one...or do you want me to use spoiler tags if I start tomorrow?

All done.

Now I'm confused. At the end it says Message Received is a Prequel to Talk to Me, but its #2.

I'm at 85%. I can ignore the clunky writing cause I'm loving Max and how he treats Chase. There are some issues for sure, but as i'm moving on I see his growth. I'm also seeing it with Chase.

Maybe I can ignore the clunky writing and grammar errors (cause I did see a few) since it's not my profession. :)

Chapter 18 had some interactions with Ben and Sean so it will be interesting to see how their story plays out. Interoffice relationships are forbidden, so.....

PS. I probably won't start #2 until tomorrow I have to squeeze in a short TART Book next.

Ugh. Miscommunication...or should I say no communication. I know its hard to admit to anxiety with people you don't know, but I wish there was a way he could have at least told Amica. She seems like a nice person and considers Chase a friend.

Chapter 6:
Oh. Things were going so well. That's part of the problem when you only hear part of the conversation. He'd have known Toby was a dog, not a person.

Chapter 4: This is bad. I can't believe Max did this and its gonna come back to bite him...I can just tell.

I like that we get to find out more about Chase and hope soon we can find out more about Max.

I started posting, but then got distracted by a Kindle Sale...Just bought 23 books for $12.

There are bunch in the series with The Dating Disaster that are free right now.

Socially awkward and seems a bit paranoid, but being socially awkward myself I relate to Chase. It's gotta be hard to think everyone has it out for you.

Now granted Max did, but he wasn't doing it as a joke and James was just trying to make a conversation, but the way he assumes it's to make fun of him kinda hurt my heart a bit.

It'll be interesting to see how they connect since in the first two chapters I'm not seeing the connection at all.

Think the heart on the top of the space needle is a balloon?
