I think someone asked this before and there's no page requirements.

I'm stuck on J. Only because I can't work any of my JJ books into my other challenges at the moment. But I need my KK book for another challenge. So..., going to have to just pick one that won't work for anything else.
I'm finally back to this challenge!RLftCI (In Order) Double-Decker Alphabet Bus

If you're looking for an II book steer clear from The Ruthless Italian's Inexperienced Wife, it was awful! I should have waited for
, it has a higher rating than the rubbish I read.
I downloaded this as a freebie on Amazon today and the heroine is Luci Lombart if anyone needs an LL book. It's short too at 185 pages. I had some LL books already but I think I will use this because it's short and I'm 2 books behind for my yearly goal.
I started off really good with matching this up to the RT Authors Challenge but now I am having trouble doing that.
I guess I need to branch out and look closer at characters for double letters. So far I've been focusing on titles and authors' names.

No, the free one is by Lynne Graham, the one I read was by Christina Hollis. I should have gone with Graham's book, I don't know who one earth comes up with these lousy titles! I think they pull them out of a hat, because they often have nothing to do with the story and can put people off, which is a shame because many of these series romances are quite decent.
