MJ’s comments from the What's the Name of That Book??? group.

Yes, that's it. Thanks Ayshe :)

Probably iBooks (likely free or cheap)
Read in the last couple of years, think it was fairly recent then.
May be a series, almost def first book of so (vaguely possible there was some cross over from a previous series - maybe one of the new band was a support character in other series...?)

Spoilers included
- h wants to be a musician, but controlling mum pushed/forced her into acting
- h's cousin (maybe h in next book?) is a model... but only to 'kill time until the h decides to stand up to her mum and follow both of their passions into music'
- there's a scene (or three) about how hot they are because they have a killer workout routine... but I think they learned most of it from a personal trainer, who they kicked to the curb the minute he started saying they need to ditch the pizza/beer or something (cause they are very much down to earth supa hot chicks ;)
- the h is a musical master type who can play/do anything with music (and has to decide what she wants to be in the band before they can hire others to fill spots)
- they work for/thru an agent who they keep stealing employees from. The super hair & makeup team, the great receptionist etc (the guy loves them, so just gripes and let's them)
- the H and band were pissed when they walked in and heard people using their equipment, until they really heard it and then were blown away because of how good they were
- I think there's 'slut bashing' in the book. Like the guys screw ANYTHING that will stand still long enough and that a chuckle and eyeroll... but the whore and sluts are disgraceful.
- there's trust issues with h/H. I think he may have insisted she lose every males phone number, but then he didn't and got txt from his 'local lays'.
- H has a code lock on his bedroom door so partners can't come in and always uses spare rooms for his hookups... until h
- THINK as there were only two chickies, they needed to audition for more band members... Through all their contacts, they managed to get some high profile/skilled musios. Possibly they brought in their old high school band mate from a 'standard' day job, but the rest had all families up or other. And think they knew one woman from other high school band maybe?
- there was heaps of flack about them having no skill before they released, so there was a press conference and possibly a YouTube type thing to say screw you
- not sure why, but security was compromised at their preferred out of the city house and they ended up moving in with the guys who had a mammoth all in pad on secured community
- think the h's band was hired on as the support band to the guys, but maybe they got their own tour.

New Orleans maybe? She was in town with a friend 'working' at her fathers hotel for the summer. The guy was a bit of a 'too cool/weird, don't approach' to everyone else as he regularly walked thru or hung up in the lobby and then disappeared in the elevator...?

Hmmm? A werewolf has known her for years (and knows she was his mate?) but she was already dating a cheating turd (who was really good at hiding it - because she's super awesome and he doesn't want to lose her 8/), maybe and the werewolf was waiting for her to break up with the turd. Full moon night, she finds out the turds a cheater and stumbles into the road to be hit by the werewolf. She's dying so he changed her... now she's immortal? Think her parent die and his family rally... but she still might not be up to speed with the werewolf/mating thing...?

There are tattoos to do with the mating too.

There's Alpha by Regan Ure(?). But from memory, the boys shift in their teens... The girls change (speed strength scent etc), but have to wait to find their mate and have sex with them before they actually can shift. The h didn't know what was going on cause her parents died when she was a baby, but felt she had to move to a more forested area once the changes began... smack into werewolf territory central.

Wasn't a vampire book was it? Think she's a new 'blood whorish/escort' type, and the security guards were rushing her in, and ignored her request to slow down... Trip/flash. She crawls under the table and he joins her.

You mean she's got social anxiety or something like Aspergers?

That sounds like it could be hilarious! Probably not written that way tho.

Will try and keep an eye on this thread ;)

Blackmailed for Vengeance

Marie Kelly... stay tuned for name of the book!

The Mermaids Daughter. An interesting twist/explanation for the little mermaid.

To Catch Her Death, Boone Brux ;)

Hmm, I've read one about a widowed mother who suddenly finds out she is a reaper. There's another twist with her partner/trainer who had been actively trying to keep her off the payroll. But she was like 'I'm a house wife who now needs a job ASAP... who cares if I didn't know the supernatural world existed before!'

I can look for it if it sounds familiar. I don't remember it being specifically Halloween focused, and it was the first book in a series.

No problem. Happy reading ;)

I think if you EDIT the title, it will allow you to change the folder from unsolved to solved.

Dragon Prince series by Melanie Rawn.

Pretty sure that's the one you're looking for. It's damn near 30 years old now and hard to find the books. But I still love it.

Sunrunners (witchish types) can use sunlight to talk to other sunrunners, and high training lets them use moonlight. They can also conjure with the light etc. H is a prince and it's a bit taboo to mix sunrunners with royalty, but they do it anyway. The cousin you're talking about (if it's the same book) is a 'Royal cousin' who was trying to snag the prince in book one... when she failed, she became a bigger bitch and later kidnapped him, roofied him and got knocked up.

Nimisha's Ship

Maybe??

Maybe second book, sister of first H was young had a quite relationship with his friend while he was staying with them over the off season. He was in love with her, but got a 'I'm pregnant' call from his ex. Brother advised him to be cruel to unknown woman he was in love with so she could move on when he went back to ex.

Ten years or so later he meets kid at kid hockey day and thinks he is the friends, not his ex's until he realises what's happened.

Archangel Down series have robots.

Estelle Ryan has a series that includes cons & hackers ending up on the good guys team. Each of the books/titles is based on a *artist* followed by *Connection*. Dantes Connection is one, but don't think it's the first.
