Gigi’s “Favorite Read of the Month” for November.

[Sandra J]

I read and really enjoyed it.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

As you all know, I'm pretty liberal with my stars and I round up when giving half stars. But even with that allowance, I only had 2 five star books this month.

was H.O.T.

was great! I loved it more than the first in the series and I didn't even think I'd like the heroine LOL

My least favorite for the month was

[Lina]

I loved , Susan! It was so unlike any other BDSM erotica I've read recently in that the dominant guy doesn't have to be your typical alphahole.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

I know! He sort of reminded me of Ian MacKenzie :) I love unconventional heroes.

[S]

I really must read The Theory of Attraction soon! Ian MacKenzie is one of my favorite heroes xD

I got immersed in Julie Garwood books this month and found



which I loved loved. The Bride mad it into my top 10-reads!! I haven't actually finished Ransom yet but I'm predicting that I will love it as much.

An unexpected delight was



which featured a crippled but very charming heroine.

Susanne, I liked The Secret more than I liked The Bride, but I think I'm in the minority on that thought. I've really enjoyed everything I've read by Julie Garwood.

[S]

I really really liked both and I think for me it could have been the opposite if I would have read The Secret before I read The Bride - now my heart was already taken. Lol! I'm only half way through but I think Ransom might steal that place xD

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

I read The Secret before The Bride, so I think that's what happened LOL

[S]

Of course! Lol!

[Lydia]

I really enjoyed the third Rainbow Road by Lisa Kleypas.

[~Megan~]

Guys, have you read Saving Grace by Garwood? Because it's just as good, if not slightly better than The Bride and The Secret!

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Yay Jenny! :)

Megan, I haven't read that one yet. I'll have to read it :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it, it's on my TBR!

[Gisela, Moderator]

Ditto on Saving Grace! I loved Ransom too! In fact I think a reread is in order!

[S]

Wow, even better?! I have Saving Grace planned for December - yay!

[Ren Puspita]

I read more than 20(!) books for November, and even its fun, I'm also exhausted to read so many books,lol!

My favorite this month is :

, the best YA I read this year

, I'm on Shelly Laurenston/G.A.Aiken marathon lately :)

, 30+ and the series still going strong.

, perfect balance of paranormal romance and suspense!

My least favorite is :
, too much brand things and the hero is childish

, I don't know how to classify this one, sci-fi or PNR

Already got my copy of , and hope its will good :)

Oh, I'm so glad someone else didn't like . Totally agree with you on that one, Ren, but I felt I was all alone in my opinion.

I feel alone too, LisaK :(... so many friends like that book and I feel otherwise. BTW, my friend, he is a man who don't want admit he reading romance novel (very cute!) said that book is his book, since he think he is the sexiest man alive. I love to tease him about that, lol! ^^

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Yeah, the hero was a little to narcissistic and immature for me.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

**hee hee** about your friend...

[Gigi, Moderator]

Thank you as always for starting the thread. I can't believe the month is over. Well, I started and I adore Jax so far. *finger crossed* that my short attention span (which has nothing to do with the book and all to do with my old brain) won't kick in again.

I still loved the book but I totally agree with you ladies on the hero. For me, the heroine and the humor made it up anyway xD

If you think you like Jax, wait till you get to Ford's book ;)

Yes, loved the heroine.

[Gea]

I have read 28 books this month and as always there were plenty of 5 stars:


- there's hardly a book from this series that doesn't deserve 5 stars
- two great HP books worthy of 5 stars
and - first two books are from a new author and they were awesome; the other two were a pleasant surprise after the beginning of series and Rock Chick seriess just became my top priority to read ASAP
- first two books are erotic BDSM romance, the third one is YA and the last one a historical romance

[Lina]

Man, this thread always ups my TBR pile!

[S]

Added it to my tbr Jenny! I still haven't tried a m/m romance but I'm getting closer xD

[S]

I just realized! And I will try one as soon as I'm done with my 2012 challenge reads *please be soon* Lol!
