No worries. I'm just glad it's family and not something like you getting sick or hurt or something worse. Family can keep definitely be a handful though.

Just answered my question - no. Looks like we are 2nd? Another team is a few spaces ahead of us. And the rest behind?

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Yay for 2nd place! Yay for another Green.

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

I've got to finish 1 library book that is due tomorrow, then I will start on .

[Regina]

I have no idea what I am going to read! But I will pick something, lol.

[[deleted user]]

Yay for 2nd place (tied ) too :D:D

I have nothing lined up in green , thought I will do a BDB marathon this month , but oh well ! Let me check my arc's if I have any!

[Paris]

Green will work for me. I have a bunch of green books to read for another challenge this month anyway. Not sure which one I'll read yet though.

[Regina]

I think mine will be the audio of

[Paris]

I'm going to read

[Crystal S]

I am reading . I'm about halfway and struggling sooooo much. So if I haven't made more progress by Friday I'll switch it to something else.

[Regina]

Struggling is so not worth it -- I say switch now.

I am reading a book that I am having SO much fun with (and it isn't green), just thought I'd let you all know:

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

That sounds really good Regina. Looks like I can only get the older version on kindle. So I may be stuck with the orgy scene, oh well, the sacrifices one makes. LOL.

[Regina]

Lol. I was kind of happy to have themst version .... * blush*

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I'm 55% in and really enjoying it Regina, so thanks for the rec :DDDDDDDDD

[Paris]

I added it to my TBR. Gonna have to move it up a bit I think.

[[deleted user]]

I just finished feral sins yesterday regina !!!

It was so good!!

I had the orgy scene too !

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I'm finished and I didn't get the orgy scene, so I must have the new one.

So for those of you with the orgy scene, whereabouts in the story does it happen?

[[deleted user]]

Chap 17 and its on the authors website also .

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Ooh, thanks Karen I'll go check it out :DDDD

[[deleted user]]

Check ! Check! It was hot !

[Regina]

Sandra you read that fast!! I am at 80% and stll loving it! I am glad you liked it!

Lol at us. Pervs R Us. :)

I cannot wait for the 2nd!

I need to try her camp series. Anyone read it yet?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I thought it might be there, and I must say that was steamin!!!!

But I agree with one of the reviews, that it didn't sit well with the level of possessiveness of Trey. I think I prefer the story without it.

And I've just read the excerpt for Dante's story. Looks like another winner. Due April 26.

[Regina]

Sandra it was so steamy! I just finished it last night. I really really enjoyed it. I kind of bought into the orgy based on how it was set up but ... it didn't need to be in there (lol - is there every a need for an orgy?)

I can't wait to read Dante's story and am I curious about her vamp series.

[Regina]

So I am almost done with my green book I am listening to the audio and am about 75% in. I likely won't be posting a review until close to around 12:00 pm central time.

[Regina]

I just realized I read a Robyn Carr book two weeks in a row.

Week: 6
Card: 3 of Clubs
Space: #116 Green
Book: A Summer in Sonoma by Robyn Carr

Finished: 3/9/13
Rating: 4.5 stars
Review:
I loved this book. This is not like Carr's Virgin River series in that it is not focused on romance or HEA. Instead the focus is the relationship between 4 women and then their relationship with the men in their lives. I guess this might be more women's issues or chic lit. I have never read anything like it but I loved it. This is like Carr's books in that the characters are richly developed, the setting and "world" is complex. I really enjoyed this book and am so thankful that I read it. While it does have romance and the search for happiness, this book is more focused on what happens after the HEA.

Week 6 - #116 - Green

Finished: 3/8/13
Rating: 5 stars

I'm gonna start this review by saying that some of what I'm about to say makes me feel like a dirty old lady, but I can't help it.

People in another group have been talking about this book and it's been on my TBR for awhile so I figured I'd get the sample from Amazon and see if it was something I could get into since I need to read a bunch of green covers this month. The minute Daemon graced the pages of this book I was in love. I have a soft spot for the jerky, hot guys and he is so the epitome of that. We learn throughout the book why he is the way he is and that just makes him even hotter to me. And do not get me started on the chemistry between Daemon and Katy. Holy smokes. There were some moments I wasn't sure I was still reading a YA book.

Besides Daemon and his utter hotness and rocking chemistry with Katy, the book was great. Totally reminded me of one of my favorite shows Roswell. Brought back a lot of those feelings for me and made me want to jump up and put the first disc of season 1 into my DVD player. There are a lot of great characters in this book and hopefully we'll learn more about them in the next book. I wasn't even finished with Obsidian when I rushed to Amazon and purchased Onyx and Opal. And of course I figured out a way to start Onyx as soon as humanly possible. I have to get more Daemon time in.

Crazy day, Friday is usually my reading day but my daughter got sent home with an ear infection. It is supposed to start snowing soon and be flat out nasty all day tomorrow so I am prepared to go snuggle down in blankets and do nothing but read so I can be done by draw time tomorrow.

[[deleted user]]

Regina that's a good idea , if you will be done late by tomorrow Dawn and Crystal S , could you please post like regina did and I will make the review posts , and you can edit it later , because I will be sleeping quite early today !

I loved how it jumped right in with the action. I loved Holly and her OCD meets Cade the true messy bachelor. The story was really great, lots of steamy goodness drawn out just enough and a HEA... well kind of.

What. A. Snoozefest. It was so boring I wouldn't have finished it if I didn't have to for this game. By the time I had time to get some reading done though, I didn't have time to find and start a whole new book. The overall plot was too thin to cover a whole 275 pages. About halfway through, when the hero and heroine (Matt and Annalise) reconcile their differences, would have been a good time to end it, making it a dull but perfectly acceptable and complete story. Instead we were treated to a few stupid plot contrivances to extend an already weak storyline.

But really, let's talk about what drove Matt and Annalise apart in the first place. Years ago, Annalise left her fiance, Matt, to go to medical school. He wasn't ok with it, but he accepted it. Until (view spoiler)[lo and behold, Annalise writes to him that she has miscarried his baby that she didn't know she was pregnant with. (hide spoiler)] He assumes that she's lying (view spoiler)[ and knew she was pregnant when she left (hide spoiler)] and left anyway. He never writes her back, breaking her heart in the process. So we understand why she isn't a fan of him. But I never quite fell for his reasoning that she was lying to him. Ok fine. About halfway through the book, he finally realizes she wasn't lying, apologizes, and their relationship appears to be nearly back on track, although she is slow to trust him with her heart again (who can blame her?). Plot contrivance. Plot contrivance. Then, another incident involving his dad and a surgery she performs on his dad. The procedure has complications and once again Matt irrationally flies into a rage at DOCTOR Annalise claiming she lied to him about his father. Ok, at this point, I would have washed my hands of this "hero" and said buh-bye, don't let the door hit ya on the ass on your way out. And truthfully, Annalise is a lot slower to forgive this time. But she still does forgive, where I never would have. (Of course she does. It's a romance novel.)

Other problems with the book include way, way too many characters from past books in the series and future books in the series. The author repeatedly used the word massive to describe the hero. Massive conjures up in my head Fezzik from The Princess Bride (mentally insert an image here, cuz I don't know how). That's my own problem with the word though. There were other mini-rage inducing problems I had with the plot, but at some point I stopped writing them down to avoid having a really, really long review. This review is already too long for a 275 book.

Rant done!
