Thanks again, ~KarenH~. Let me know what you want to BR if anything. :)

I'm definitely interested a buddy read or two (or three?) - I'd love to do Game for Seduction and/or Fix You since they're already planned for my monthly challenge. Down to You will kind of depend on what happens with my other books. I'm pretty flexible this month, so whatever you want to do works for me, just so long as I have a couple of days' notice to finish up whatever I'm reading.

finished my first PIFM: . 4 stars!
Once upon a time, a porn star and a virgin met. Drama ensues.
The end.

Happy Birthday Sassy! February is my birthday month too - I think it is a good month for a birthday! =)

Great then! I'll start on Seduction and Snacks right after I finish my current read. Happy reading to you! :)

Karen....I finished On Dublin Street and I loved it! Great pick!

Rebecca I apologize for being late. I let you down and I'm very sorry for it. I think Kristi made some great recommendtions for you I couldn't do any better, I hope you like them.

Ok, got it. I'm in for both Fix You and Game for Seduction so just let me know when you want to read them. :)

Fran those were wonderful picks I'll let you know which one I choose and which one I read. Sorry for being late.

Iris - just finished , I love shifter stories and this one was good - I just wish it was longer.

Starting , happy dance!!

Started it last night. We'll chat soon ;)

Thanks so much for the Rec, ~KarenH~. I don't even know where to begin. I ..."

Hi Sassafrass!

Please don't read into that. I was really really looking forward to picking for you when I got home which would have been much later that evening. You were reassigned only because we wanted you to get your recs sooner than I could have provided them which would have been at least another 5-6 hours later than when you received your recs from KarenH. So sorry about that and I'm glad you received some awesome recs!

Vi wrote: "Carla, there will automatically be a remix. Fran has the list of who didn't post the recs. You will definitely get picks."

Thanks! This was a first for me, so I wasn't sure...

MountainKat wrote: "Hi Carla, here are your picks - finally! I hope you like them, I will be happy to try again to make sure you get something you like after waiting so long! You have so many really good books on yo..."

Thanks for the great picks--I'm not sure which ones I'll read yet, but The Ugly Duchess sounds good. I'll likely read others depending on how much time I have this month. Don't wait for me to read Duchess, though, since I'm backed up on reading for my book group, plus some holds came through from the library that I'll have to read or lose. If you end up reading it, though, let me know what you think!

I'm glad you liked the picks Isabella! Sometimes real life gets in the way, it happens :)

I can't wait to hear what you choose to read this month - and hopefully you will enjoy it!

Ok, I put four of the books on hold, but I need to stop myself now...they all sound wonderful. Will add to my to-read shelf those that I can't get to this month. Thanks!!

Yeah that will be fine Monday?

No worries, Gigi! I was just joking. :) Thanks for trying though.

I'll try to join you for Fix You since you picked it for me as well! Let me know when you want to read it!

I am so glad you liked your picks! I hope you like the books too! I will probably start The Ugly Duchess today, I'll let you know what I think of it when I finish.

Oh, I almost forgot - I finished my first pick All He Ever Dreamed! Loved it! I hope to get to another pick by the first of the week.

Sassafrass wrote: "Ok, got it. I'm in for both Fix You and Game for Seduction so just let me know when you want to read them. :) "

Ok, how about if we plan on Fix You next weekend? You, me, Kat, and anyone else who wants to join the party! Then we can figure out when we want to read Game for Seduction after that.

Did you read it with the pre-requisite music in your head of "Boww-Chicka-Bow-Wow" & constant bass track?" :)

oh no. this was women-friendly porn. so it was soft lighting and classical moonlit sonata type tracks. haha.

Debra,

Make sure to check message #210 in this thread. Rebecca has given you some great recommendations to choose from :)

Debra, please don't worry about it. I got picks and have plenty to choose from. Sorry about the computer.

sound good. How 'bout you, MK, does that sound ok?

ok ~KarenH~

Here's what I've read so far:
--so yummy! PUN definitely intended. LOL I'm really enjoying this series. Plus even better, I've got an ARC for the 3rd book in the series, so I'm going to be reading that soon. :)

--such a cute story. I love when unrequited love is finally realized. But it also has menage in it when makes the story even better. I know you said that you wanted to read this series, and I really think you should. Eve Langlais knows how to blend the erotic with the perfect amount of snark. I love laughing with my smexy books.

I'm still planning to read:





and I'm really going to try to get to:
and since you recommended them
and also

Thanks for the picks! I'll choose between Anna and the French Kiss, The Host and Something About You.

Hope you enjoy whichever one you decide on!

Ab2y,

Read my first pick All Riled Up: Trapped!\Riley !! It was a good couple of stories!

Waiting till next week to get my second pick Etiquette & Espionage!!

:D

Irirs I finished another rec yesterday - - I enjoyed it, it was a very easy enjoyable read.

Shell,

I finished last night. I loved it. I will be continuing on with this series. Thanks for the rec.

Glad you loved it! I've actually got it on audiobook, and will probably push it closer to the top of my listening list. :)

MissKim ~ I finished my first pick. Wallbanger was an easy, really funny read. I don't think I've laughed that hard while reading a book in a while. 4♥ for me. Some parts got a little annoying but overall a quick funny read! I will never think of Spanx, Purina and Giggler in the same way again,lol. Thanks again!

I just started listening to Outlander and you were right Sandy, the narration is awesome! A narrator can make or break an audiobook, and I think this will be a win. :)

4. Recommend a title that has been getting some Red Hot Buzz - Reaper's Property by Joanna Wylde - An excellent 2013 release

Hi Gea! I finished Reaper's Property...a must read for those who likes guys and bikes. This book certainly has alot of erotic scenes. There's romance too as well as violence. The writing was so raw. I don't know how to describe it...I felt out of my comfort zone. Overall it was a good read.

8. Choose a title with a bad boy hero with a heart of gold.
Next is The Gamble from Kristen Ashley one of my favorite authors.

oh Breann - you are in for a ride - I love Davina's narration of Outlander - I even paid the $120 for book 6 before Audible had it because I wanted to listen to the audiobook so bad

I just read my first pick of the month Hot in Here and liked it alot. I must say though thank god my boyfriend doesnt love food in the bedroom because I would get so fat if I was dating Bryce from the book.

Brittany

I got my books we can start the buddy read when you ready

I LOVED the gelatto scene in this one - talk about weak-knees ;0
