I'll be reading this one this month too! I also have it down for a few challenges!! It'll be my first m/m so I'm excited and nervous at the same time! :)
So I'm thinking I might start on this book next. What are everyone else's plans? (Because I could easily delay a few days if we have some more imminent starters :)
Tomorrow works for me Jane. I can start whenever you want.
I probably won't get to it until next week. But I don't have to read it with everyone else. I think I can catch up just fine. :)
Definitely Breann, everyone can read at their own pace.I will put a spoiler tag on any specific comments from the book :)
I won't start until this weekend.
I hope to start this today or tomorrow (I picked up another book in the meantime). But I also get a Bingo category call tomorrow am, so it'll put a dent in my reading time I suspect. I will have JA started before that, but it may take me some time to finish... :)
This book was sooooooooo good! You'll love it :)
I am 70% in and really enjoying it! These two guys are hot! Ad I love the laid-back island setting :)
I finished this one today. Really good. Ryan is one hot horse-riding, island owning hunk of male! And Jordan is hunky too. These two are very smexy together. They each had their own baggage to deal with, but in this not too angsty story it's a pleasure to read their journey to find happiness.
OK - I still haven't started :( I'll make this my next book post my bingo book.

Trying to get as many books read this weekend before my winter vacay is over and it'll be back to reality for me!
There were no great misunderstandings, unnecessary drama or lies- all of which I don't love in my romances. It's steamy, laid-back and they both spend a lot of time on a beautiful island naked ;)
Starting this one now! :)
I'm about halfway through, and I'm liking it so far. Definitely has me wishing I were reading beside a waterfall on a tropical island right now.
I started this last night in between some other reading I'm doing. So far it is really good. I too would love to be reading this next to a waterfall sounds very peaceful....

I finished it last night. Couldn't stop reading about them. Really enjoyed it. I have to agree with Fran they were very smexy and it was nice that there was no drama with them dealing with what they had to deal with.
Just finished the book, and my opinion goes along with the others. It was nice to read a sweet, simple story without the crazy unnecessary drama that so often appears. It was just two people trying to deal with life and love.
Aww... well wasn't that just too cute! What a sweet & sexy story. Can I semi-retire to an island?
OK - I've stuffed up and left my kindle at my parents house :( I won't be able to start this before the middle of the month. Dang!!!
I am starting this today. Has everyone else already read it?
I just finished this morning! Not going to comment from my phone though...
I'm just about to start Rebecca :)
Glad I'm not the only one who hasn't finished it already!
I really enjoyed this story! It was sweet and emotional, but not angsty. Loved both Jordan and Ryan and I am so glad I read this book!
And it was free! Even.better.

48% in here. Pretty damn steamy!
Just finished. I really enjoyed this book. And I agree with what others have already said, it was nice reading sometime that didn't have a misunderstanding and all that drama that so many books had. It was a nice, light read with some STEAMY moments that were fan-freaking-tastic. How'd everyone else like it?
Still going :) I'm about halfway...

What did you think? Hope you liked your first m/m and it won't be your last, LOL!
Just finished...this was my first m/m and I'm glad I decided to read it. I really enjoyed reading this and will have to agree with everyone else. It does want to make you want to semi-retire to a tropical island.
Glad you enjoyed it Angela :)I've been waylaid on another book for bingo challenge, but I'll back to reading JA today...
I've finally finished! 3 stars.I enjoyed the setting and the plotline but it didn't grab me enough to lift it to 4 stars. Having said that, it's a great book to relax with ;)
I'm late to the party, but at least I managed to read the book this month - that's an improvement over the last few months! I liked this book a lot, for the same reasons that have been mentioned above: no major misunderstandings or lying, just a couple of really hot guys dealing with their issues and finding a way to be together in an amazing setting...what's not to love?
It was my first M/M and it was quite a nice one. The book was chilled out, relaxed, the romance was very easy going and the setting really cool. At the same time it wasn't really a story that would get me sucked in and craving for more. Oh And since I didn't read through the whole book description before I started it, I had no clue it would be a male romance :D Quite a surprise there for me, not convinced if I would give it a try otherwise. That said I guess the book for its own genre made a good impression on me and I might take up another M/M in the future :)
Great to hear you enjoyed the book, Paulina, and could try MM again. If you are looking for suggestions, all the mods can help along with quite a few other members :)Just let us know if you need more suggestions!
