I really liked Simply Irresistible -- a solid 4 stars, possibly 4 1/2. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something sweet and funny with a sexy hero. ;-) I quickly bought and read the second in the series, The Sweetest Thing, and liked that one, too. So now I'm making my way through the rest of the series.

I just finished Archangel's Storm. While I liked it, it wasent my favorite. I had a hard time connecting with Mahiya as a character. I gave it 3 Stars.

[Gea]

I just finished and it was a great short book, I miss this kind of books lately and thanks for recommending it Nikki :)

Thanks for the great recommendations. I'm planning on reading & . If there's time, I may try for another from the list.

If it's not too much trouble, can you remember any books that didn't have a designation? I thought all books added to my main shelves had to get sorted onto one of the exclusive shelves. I have 5 since I added a to-buy shelf and an interesting shelf (for any "maybe" books I wanted to keep an eye on). If you don't remember any examples, don't worry about it. I just wanted to fix any potential problems for future pickers. Thanks.

Karen! I finished my first pick! was definitely an enjoyable read. I finished it in like a day! Thanks for the rec!

Now I'm reading . For some crazy reason I thought I had that book in print only so I was a bit shocked when I checked one of my reading apps and saw it there! I started it and immediately was hooked!

Great that you enjoyed it ! I was lurking on your wall after I saw you had started to read it :P

Tell me how you like Laura Kinsale , I have been meaning to try some book by her for some time now:)

She wrote one of my favorite books Flowers from the Storm but I haven't read one of her books in years! This one is very cute so far.

I'm glad you enjoyed your picks!
I do remember about the Black Dagger Brotherhood series - I wanted to recommend you one of those, but some books were just 'added', some were marked as 'interesting' - and it could mean you found it interesting after reading it or that you thought it was interesting enough to read - and some were as 'to read'. I didn't really know which one you had or had not read, so I just went to other choices. Hope that helps! :D

[Elke]

Brett,

Read my second pick!! , it was ok....real short!! On to the next.....I think this month will be the one I read most of my picks!!!

[Bror (Abrar)]

I just finished reading it was really good story but really really really long book , it made me hesitant about reading the next book and "ye" really annoyed me , so 4.5 stars it is .

Thanks for your help Larissa. I renamed my "interesting" shelf as "maybe". I'll have to see what I can do about any just marked as "added".

[Alexis]

Hey Joyce, I finished last night. It's finals time, so I'm surprised I found time to read. It was pretty good. I thought it was kind of boring compared to mmost Kristen Ashley books though. Either way she's one of my favorite authors so thanks for a great recommendation!

[Pollyanna]

Hey Nancy I finished Girl, Interrupted today and gave it 4 stars, I have been meaning to read this for ages so thankyou for giving me the push :) I love the film and so I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the book, it isn't at all like the film and I quite liked that.

Awesome! I just noticed you read Take Me. I thought that one was ok, too. Not my favorite one so far in that series, but I still love Olivia Cunning. I need to get to reading Lesson Plan. It's been on my kindle for awhile. haha

[Brett]

Colette,

I finished my first pick . I loved it! At first I was a little iffy about Eva in this one. So much push and pull, but the made up for it.

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

I finished my first pick this for this month, Bared to You. I liked it a lot, but I think it would have been even better if I hadn't read the Fifty Shades books so recently. I found myself spending more time making comparisons than enjoying the story for its own sake. I was very impressed with the narration though, and plan on picking up the next book in audio sooner rather than later. Thanks for the rec, Sassafrass - it was a great start, but I still have several more planned to read! :)

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Kelli,

I read my first recommendation - and liked it. It was extremely short though, so I'll read something else as well. Thanks for the rec.

Karen,

I felt the exact same way after I read Bared To You. I kept making comparisons to Fifty as I was reading it. And I kept thinking, "why is Sylvia Day doing a 50 Shades remake? She's Sylvia Day! She is awesome and so talented, why do it?" But there is a huge audience for it and so many loved it so I guess she knows what she is doing ;)

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

This is my first Sylvia Day book, so I didn't really have any expectations, other than having heard a lot of buzz. I also knew that there were comparisons between the two series, but I didn't realize just how alike they were until I started listening to it. I will admit though that the farther along in the book I got the less often I noticed the comparisons - although they were always there to some extent.

[Ruth Ann]

I finished my first pick last night! Wow!! I am reading the second part of the story tonight.

[Fran, Moderator]

I did like it too. But I wish I had read them further apart.

I am happy that you enjoyed it. I read it a while ago, and liked the book but didn't see the movie.

[Elke]

Ok....just finished my 3rd pick- On the Island!!! Loved it, one of my faves now! Thanks so much Brett for the great picks! On to the 4th pick!!

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

For those of you who expressed an interest in a buddy read of Seduction and Snacks, I opened a discussion thread here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1.... I listed a start date of the 10th, but if that doesn't work for you, feel free to jump in whenever!

[Bror (Abrar)]

I read its very realistic and cute , i liked the book in general , the kids are cute and precious , the gay for you concept was nice but some parts were slow , the first half was a heartbreaker and i had a hard time reading through it . i gave this book 4 out of 5 stars .
Thanks for the pick Penney :)

[Irina]

Finished my first pick Devoured which was also a buddy read with Elke. Firstly, a big thanks to her for the recommendation needed that additional push for this one.. :)
Now onto the book.. It was a decent read sadly, the book didn't live up to the synopsis couldn't connect to the characters.. not sure if I'll continue with the series.
Onto the next one!

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

I finished my second pick this morning - Do Over. What an amazing, wonderful story! It gave me a case of the warm and fuzzies that will last quite a while, I think. Thanks so much for the nudge to read it, Sassafrass, I don't know why I've been sitting on it for so long!

[Anita]

Hi Dee:

I have received a library from my in-laws of over 5000 books and am reading my way through it, trying to read a book series in order. That is why most of my books are so old. I also have not entered hardly any of the ones I plan to read into my to read list. Thank you for your picks. I would love to buddy read Low Pressure with you. I am cheap so I will get it from the library. When do you want to read it and how does the budy system work?

[Dee]

hi anita - I can start whenever, I have the audiobook on my computer - just let me know! We can either talk via pm's or start a thread if there are a few people interested

I"m glad you got it in. I finished mine too and I don't usually finish until close to the end. LOL

[Joyce]

Hi Diane,
I finished and loved it! I highly recommend it to anyone who has read all the other fever books. Now do I have to wait another year for the next one in the series. Uggh!I don't usually finish it so quickly it was that good.

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Hey, everyone!

For those interested in a Seduction and Snacks buddy read, as the cold-induced fog lifted from my brain I realized that there is another buddy read planned for the 10th that has some potential overlap in participants, so we're bumping the S&S start date to the 15th. I hope that doesn't mess up anyone's plans!

I'm ok with the date change.

[Kami]

I finished Caressed by Ice by Nalini Singh. I really liked it and gave it five stars. I can see why this is everyone's favorite psy-changeling book. It is actually the only one I've read that I really liked. The other two I thought were okay but this one was really good. I am going to read Wicked Nights by Gena Showalter next.

[D.G.]

Glad you enjoyed it, Kami!

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Glad to hear that. I suppose you have to finish the Fever series to pick this one up?

[Dee]

Diane - yes you do - because it picks up like right at the very end of the fever series

[Christina]

Kami - I just finished Wicked Nights not long ago and I just wanted to let you know that you are in for a treat. This was the first one that I read by Gena Showalter and I loved the book.

[Breann]

Roxy, I just finished I'll Be Your Drill, Soldier and I loved it! It took a while for me to get into it but once I did I was hooked. The banter was hilarious! Especially those emails. Oh my, the fam thought I was crazy because I was laughing so hard. 4 stars! Thanks for the pick!

[Brett]

Finished my second pick, . It was ok, not the best.

[Juliet]

Just finished Bared to You . Thanks Suzanne for picking this book. I'm going to read one more book picked out by you this month.
