I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I loved seeing your updates pop up as you were reading! I hope you enjoy your next pick as much or even more!

I got my books we can start the buddy read when you ready"

Great, Let's start reading!

[Irina]

I finished my first pick which was also a Buddy Read with Photojim. Really liked the book and enjoyed a few laugh out loud moments.
Looking to get my hands on as my next read.

[Ashley]

Lol I just read my second pick. A lady most willing. And while I liked it I couldnt help wanting more of each couple stories. I think that is the downfall of have three stories by three different authors put into one book. 2.5 stars

[Ty]

You're welcome! I really liked this series. :)

[Ashley]

Pam,

Just read my third rec and first Nora Roberts book The Witness. And it was great I gave it 4 stars.

[~Leslie~]

HI Carrie thanks for my pick
It would have taken me a long time to get around to reading this and now I'm totally Team Vlad!! I can't wait till the next one comes out as we are definitely left hanging. Loved it!!
I'm going to try and read one more of your picks this months but I haven't decided what yet. I will let you know!

[Irina]

Photojim
I just finished my 2nd pick of the month LOVED IT! will be definitely reading more books by this author. Five Stars from me!

[Pollyanna]

Hey Carla I finished The Fault in Our Stars last night and gave it 5 stars, such a lovely read. I really liked the characters and although I didn't cry I would definitely class it as a tearjerker. I haven't read a book by John Green yet that I didn't like so I hope that continues.

Thanks for the pick

[Cacophony]

Hi Nicole,
Just letting you know I finished Beautiful Disaster. I had some mixed feelings because I didn't really like the heroine. But it was definitely a page turner and an interesting look at a dysfunctional relationship. I feel the need to read some more YA romances now.

[Nicole]

Good, I read a lot of YA romance, they are my fav.. Have u read love unscripted by Tina Reber? Great book!!!

[Skandia]

Gigi,
finished reading my first pick On Dublin Street. I think I liked it enough for 3,5 stars. I had a little issues with both Braden and Joss' extreme jealousy, otherwise very good book.

I'm glad you liked On Dublin Street. I hope you enjoy All He Ever Needed too...I love the Kowalski family! I'm currently reading the most recent book, All He Ever Dreamed.

I haven't but I will try to hunt down a copy. I started Slammed by Colleen Hoover today and so far it is awesome.

[Sassafrass]

ok ~KarenH~

Here's what I've read so far:
--so yummy! PUN definitely intended. LOL I'm really enjoying this series. Plus even better, I've got an ARC for the 3rd book in the series, so I'm going to be reading that soon. :)

--such a cute story. I love when unrequited love is finally realized. But it also has menage in it when makes the story even better. I know you said that you wanted to read this series, and I really think you should. Eve Langlais knows how to blend the erotic with the perfect amount of snark. I love laughing with my smexy books.

--OMG, what a great recommendation. I totally fell in love with Mick. You were so right, he was definitely a misunderstood bad boy. I was very surprised at how good (not to mention STEAMY) this was. I'm definitely going to continue with this series. Thanks again for this rec!

I'm still planning to read:





and I'm really going to try to get to:
since you recommended them
and also

I really need to get to this book!

[Dee]

One Reckless Summer was totally worth it and I liked the second one as well - I have the series on my stacking the series list ;)

[Angi]

Does anyone know if Black Dagger Brotherhood, by J.R. Ward - Dark Lover (#1) is a kindle lendable book?

Well, that is at least three people telling me it is really good, now I just have to find the time - and a challenge to fit it into...

I'm so glad you liked One Reckless Summer, I thought it was wonderful, too! I just looked back and I only gave it 4 stars - had to change that, I don't know what I was thinking!

I just finished Phantom Pleasures - the first half of the book took a while to get into but once I did it was very good - although I did prefer the secondary couple's story.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Yz - I finished a second book from your rec list: After the Sunset. 4 stars. I really enjoyed it (as I do nearly all Mary's work) - it was great to catch back up with Rand and Stef and see how they were, and what they were up to :)

I'm now reading a third book off the list! Wes and Toren

[Nicole]

trying to decide my next pick to read... just finished Clockwork Angel, which I loved!! can't wait to read the rest of the series, and it looks like a movie is coming out thus summer, even better!! Thanks Villa for the awesome pick!! now what to read, what to read....

I was just thinking that, glad we got it figured out!

I don't think we'd decided definitely, but my schedule is flexible so whenever works for you is fine for me.

Hi Skandia! I'm sorry that it wasn't at least a 4star read for you. However, I'm glad that you liked it.
