I read it a while back and loved it! I was going to reread it for the challenge but decided to go with something from Mt. TBR in the hopes of making a dent in it! ;)

6/6 Read



1. Constitution Day - Surrender by Pamela Clare 3.5 ♥'s- The first half of the book was a solid 3 ♥'s, the second a solid 4 ♥'s. Hence 3.5

2. National Good Neighbor Day – Mr. Perfect by Linda Howard ♥♥♥ -I would have enjoyed this more if the romance between H/H had been more real. They went from "I intensely dislike you" to "You're hot and I want to jump you" to "I love you let's get married next week" in the space of two weeks. Sorry didn't buy it.

3. Birthstone: Sapphire- Ravishing the Heiress by Sherry Thomas ♥♥♥♥, 3.5 ♥'s really. Could've been 5 ♥'s but the ending felt rushed and after the hero treated the heroine like a doormat there was no groveling nor an epilogue! grrrr >:\

4. 9th Book in Series- Play of Passion by Nalini Singh ♥♥♥ Not my favorite of the series my main problem was the heroine.

5. Neither Rain Nor Snow Day/Mail order bride - The Bride Wore Spurs by Sharon Ihle - ♥♥♥ The heroine behaved like a 15 y/o. Some of her attitude and plot points made me roll my eyes so hard I feared they would get stuck!

6. Reader's Choice - Breathe by Kristen Ashley ♥♥♥
