K-Terror, Melissa, Snowtulip & V-Nerd - Taint

[K~Terror]

I'm almost done with my book... I've laughed - I've cried - and I've wanted to inflict some serious bodily harm!

[Snowtulip]

*cough* well, since you all are busy with kids...looks like I should step in for teacher time *cough*

Such the brown nose! hahahahahahaha

[VNerdbooks]

Haha make sure you shine that apple nice and good ST

[Snowtulip]

paugh! apple... I made a nice SPICY apple pie ;)

[K~Terror]

Starting in 4....3....2....1....

[K~Terror]

So V - I signed up on our CTF spreadsheet that I'm reading this book and the MC is an instructor...

They asked what he taught?

"Uhm.. How to f#ck..."

[K~Terror]

It's OK though - I explained you were a bad influence on me..

[VNerdbooks]

Haha I see I get the blame again!!

[VNerdbooks]

speaking of apple pie, the gig on Sunday went brilliantly !!
I even got dragged up to sing a couple lol (with the hubby not the American pie man)

[Snowtulip]

...see, just like a romance novel!

[VNerdbooks]

Haha

[K~Terror]

Our own rock star!! That's awesome V!

[K~Terror]

V - How are you liking this book so far?

I'm guessing my sports bra would not be deemed sexy... Lol!

[VNerdbooks]

Yeah its quite good, although I was expecting (view spoiler)[ alpha male all the way through but he seems to be changing into a bit of a wet blanket now he's met Ali (hide spoiler)]

[VNerdbooks]

Haha yeah he would be whipping that off you in seconds.........ooh you just wait till Thursday lol

[K~Terror]

I agree! Maybe it's the way (view spoiler)[ she's being narrated but she annoys me and can't understand how she'd be such a temptress to begin with.. (hide spoiler)]

[Snowtulip]

I'm going to start when I get home tonight :) I went with the Ebook, you know i'm kind of weird about narrators and wasn't sure about this voice...

[VNerdbooks]

Yeah it is a bit..........creepyish you get used to it after a while, but I wouldn't call it sexy!

Damn it why didn't I think of a whole weekend??
Mind you the kids break up soon for the 6 week summer holidays from school ............"

First week of June here. Son starts drivers ed next week. I'm kinda scared, lol

[K~Terror]

I bet! It's nerve wracking at first for sure. My hubby was a much better (patient) instructor for my son - and probably will be the same with our daughter when it's her turn. I just kept grabbing for the "oh shit" handle and closing my eyes. Apparently that makes new drivers even more nervous....

[~Melissa~]

Yeah - hubby worked with him last weekend backing out of our driveway and just driving around our cul de sac. I heard a lot of tire screeching and had to back away from the window. Our son is going to be fine and is already really nervous. I'm actually more worried about our daughter as she is always telling hubby to drive faster - a little bit of a speed demon that one, lol

[K~Terror]

I finished this one last night and, although I liked it OK, I did not like it as much as I thought I would...

(view spoiler)[ I did not care for Ali at all... I thought she was pretty whiny and full of herself. Out of all of the people Justice has met in his life, I just didn't see the appeal in not being able to control himself with her... Which is probably a big reason why I never felt any of the chemistry between these two. I'll be interested to see if anyone else felt the same way.. I read this book right after reading a Karina Halle book ~ no secret she's one of my favorite authors ~ so am wondering if I'm being unfair to the book because of coming off a previous book-high...

By the time the big "reveal" came out, I honestly didn't even care.

Maybe reading will be better. SnowTulip, I know you're reading it - so let me know how you enjoyed when you are done.

My Thursday just freed up as I cancelled my appointment!
(hide spoiler)]

[VNerdbooks]

Hmm just finished this (don't you just love 2 hour bath soaks!!)

Anyway I agree with you Kristin (view spoiler)[ I couldn't see the appeal with Ali, I mean she didnt have anything different to any of the other women in the group so why couldn't he control himself!
I didn't see the 'twist' coming but it really wasn't that much of one, I thought it could have been something really juicy, but it was just mehh so what!
Also they went from friends to I love you so quickly it was ridiculous, damn you mint choc chip ice cream...........although I liked "he's her lobster" references from Friends (hide spoiler)]

[K~Terror]

HaHa! I did love that reference myself!!!

I would LOVE to have a 2 hour bath soak Sounds awesome!

[VNerdbooks]

ahh it was lush!!
Just topping up the water when it gets warm ..........sigh......

[Snowtulip]

Just started...

[Snowtulip]

I'm having a hard time with this...(view spoiler)[I'm 25% in and not much has happened, waiting... (hide spoiler)]

[K~Terror]

Yes... That sounds about right. (view spoiler)[ Other than his brutal honesty to the rich chicks, there wasn't too much else that seemed to go on during the first part of the book. (hide spoiler)]

[~Melissa~]

I've started - I'm in Chapter 5 did anyone feel like maybe (view spoiler)[ we should have seen him in action with the last group that he taught - where he was all alpha male. He's already becoming sappy in his brain. Not what I was expecting with this book. (hide spoiler)]
Ali - isn't so bad when you're reading her - since I can make them sound anyway I want them to.
One of the reasons I don't do a lot of audio - the narrator can really make or break a book for me :)

[Snowtulip]

I'm glad I didn't do audio for this one :)

It's picking up for me, fingers crossed!

[K~Terror]

I'm glad Ali is more manageable in print.. I'd agree that this is definitely one to read over audio. (And you know, ST, how hard that is for me to say!) LOL!

Melissa - I totally agree... It would have been nice (view spoiler)[ to see how he was pre-pussy. ;) (hide spoiler)]


ST - Did you read or listen to Beneath the Stain? just started this one tonight and I think I'll have to buy everything Nick Russo narrates now...

[Snowtulip]

Kristin, I read that right around the same time you and V were converting me to audio ;) So I kindled that one, but I'm going to have to go listen to the sample.

I told V that kleenex were needed for this one, also put your phone in a protective case for when you want to throw it :)

[Snowtulip]

Just finished (view spoiler)[decent enough read, but was expecting a lot more sizzle and spark :( (hide spoiler)]

[K~Terror]

Like right about now!!!!! (view spoiler)[ Grant's stupid girlfriend... (hide spoiler)]

[K~Terror]

I don't think I've listened to this narrator before - I'll have to go look. But I love his "Grant" voice the most.. kind of deep with a slight southern drawl.

[Snowtulip]

Kristin ~ Experiment in Terror Junkie wrote: "Like right about now!!!!! [spoilers removed]"

Uugghh!! So much get's me riled up in this story!

[Snowtulip]

Ohh, the southern drawl, second favorite (I'm still hung up on my Scottish accent kick).

Might have to give a reread on this one :) with the audio.

I loved the music components in that book, so excited when books about musicians actually have them writing music *swoon*

[K~Terror]

Oh yea.. I'm loving that too!

[K~Terror]

There's a Scottish dude in the Karina Halle book I just listened to - The Pact. ;)

[Snowtulip]

Yipeee!!! I need to get that ASAP ;)

[~Melissa~]

Ok ladies - I finished this one. Hmmmm - thoughts - I stand by my feeling that we should have seen him with another group of ladies to see what he was like before Ally. I think that would have made it better to see him in action as a bad ass. Also - it mentions how he goes without during the six weeks of training (view spoiler)[ but yet every women who works a session for the girls he's had sex with - I was kinda shaking my head going - you just said you went without. I thought we would see him go out and pick up a random hook up chick?? I'm wondering if I missed a reference of him having a three way with the tantra couple in the past. No big shock that it was Erin doing the blackmailing and I wasn't shocked that Evan and Justice were half brothers - I saw that coming. I was surprised that he didn't have to work to get Ally away from Evan.
(hide spoiler)] Totally glad this wasn't a cliffhanger. I saw that it was a 1 of a series - so glad their story is done. I read the blurb for the next one and I kinda want to read Heidi's story.

[Snowtulip]

I don't know if I could go for the next in series like you Melissa ;) Maybe you could give me the cliff notes version on Heidi's story!

[~Melissa~]

LOL - I'll prob only read it if I can get it for free like I got this one :)
If I do I'll let you know how it goes

[K~Terror]

I was thinking the same thing.. Will probably wait and see what you think Melissa!
