I used Quinn from of Eve of Samhain, it was a 3. star for me. I wish I had used Dmitri from Archangel's Blade which I am reading now.
He is HOT.

Oh, I love you love it 1/2 as much as I did, Lucy! Be sure to let me know.

and don't expect much from the sequels, right LK?

True. But the first one was exceptional.

You're doing great, Rebecca! I'm glad you enjoyed It Had to Be You. Phoebe is an amazing character. In the rest of the series you see she is (view spoiler)[one tough NFL owner! (hide spoiler)]. Loved your review.

For further help, check out our GoodReads 101 folder. I'll post Add a Booklink Cover in the post below.

~ How to Add a Bookcover Link ~


• Click on the "add book/author link above the text box which you're typing in for the discussion.

• Notice a search box or “look-up” opens up and at the bottom the words

                                   add: ⦿ link 〇cover

The little blue dot is will always first default to link unless you click on cover.

• Type in the title you of the book you desire, and click "search".

• Click on the "add" button next to the option you want to include and the html for the cover will appear in your text box.

• Make sure that "cover" is chosen before you click the big “search” button, but if you forget, you can always put your cursor after the word “book” and before the colon: in the link and the bookcover will appear.

I'll put an asterisk* in the code so you can see the book numbers are the same:

[*book:Through a Dark Mist|7776013]
[*bookcover:Through a Dark Mist|7776013]


Results :

Through a Dark Mist = link

= bookcover link

• If the bookcover that appears is not the one you want, simply click on "other editions" right under the add button. Page numbers are at the bottom of the "look-up". Browse until you find the cover you desire.

• Do a preview, if you like. Just click (preview) in parentheses in light grey to the right of the big post button.

Hope this helps!

Neat review of WaDSK, Leslie! Commented on your thread.

Ezinwanyi, don't you think the cover on Archangel's Blade is a little weird? He looks like his head is jutted forward too much.

Omg I can see it, it's like they photo shopped someone else is face on to it.

It is, isn't it!?!

Lisa Kay... I loved, loved, loved Dragon Bound! :) Glad I finally got the chance to read it! Have you read the second book in the Elder Races series yet?

Thanks, Lisa Kay! I did not get a notification of your comment - I need to fix GR!

Oh, Jennifer, I'm so glad you loved DB! Such a neat book. I did go on to read all but the her last book out. While I enjoyed them, they didn't have the impact on me like the first one did. It was, however, exceptional.

Leslie wrote: "I need to fix GR!"

LMBO! Good Luck with that, Leslie!

Lisa, I hope you had a wonderful birthday. Sadly I can't stay longer to dance the night away and greet the sunrise with you, but I made sure I was at least going to the party :)

3/3 finished. Updated post 11

LOL! Glad you had a great time, Carrie! Congrats!

I see what you are saying. I thought of it as an action shot, like he was walking towards me, to grab me and drag me back to his love lair.

Men hotties tend to be mostly body shots like:

The book I picked just had a head shot, but oh he has a handsome face. :D
