Can I crash your buddy read, Regina, Kay, and Leea? I was supposed to do another buddy read, but it got pushed back, and I want to read this book!

Keep reading because with 16 + book in the series, there are bound to be some that just don't do it for you. I always found the books I wasn't that interested in or the characters were not my favorite were the books that rocked!!
Regina wrote: "Yes please do!!!"Thank you! I will probably start tonight.
I finished
and man that book was scary in all kinds of crazy ways. the ending is a sort of cliffhanger so I cannot wait to find out what happens to our dynamic duo :)I'm so glad we're doing a buddy read of
because I need a genre change and something light. I have some stuff to take care of but I hope to start in a few hours. I'm trying to prep for another crazy busy fun weekend, so i'm no rushing around.Kay, have fun in your sons class! I get to work in both boys classes tomorrow. It's going to be 95 here - say cool in the bay!
Yay, Angie! Looking forward to discussing with you gals!
Kay wrote: "Yay, Angie! Looking forward to discussing with you gals!"I am, too! I'm just sad that this is the last one of hers to read. :( She's right up there with Pamela Clare for me.
I missed your post Angie, so glad you're going to join us :) you're always welcome - heck anyone is welcome. haha! It's crazy this is her last book for us to read. I wonder if something is in the works, she's a great writer?
Here is a link to the Western HR thread in case we want to chat there... up to you ladies.http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

That's funny because I'm finding that too!

I experienced that with Sam's book. He was my favorite Troubleshooter, but his book is my least favorite. I think I had set my expectations too high for his book.
Tellulah, I liked
, but I, too, was annoyed by the way Brockmann told the backstory in the first 1/3rd of the book. But I still love Max & Gina, Jones & Molly, and of course Jules! But the book felt like a fragmented "Lost" episode with so much back-and-forth.Leea - girl, you are rolling through Dex & Perry! I can understand you needing a break! Hope your son is feeling better.
- Regina and company, I'm in to buddy read this whenever you are. I picked it up yesterday. I've read the Alex Kennedy books (
,
, and
. I wasn't as hot on "Naked" as the other two, but they were pretty good. I'm willing to give Megan Hart another try.I couldn't help myself. I put aside
again in favor of
. Once I start on a series, it's tough to get me to stop - especially if I'm pulled in. I have to get back to the Troubleshooter series soon, too. I'm kinda bummed that I can't seem to get back into Highlander mode, though... hoping that when my massive work deadlines are over (end of software cycle, about to release end of May), that I'll be able to go back to yummy Highlander alpha males!
Oooh--Highlanders. Do we have a Highlander thread? Do we need a Highlander thread?

I liked the book before it better - believe that?
But I still love the Troubleshooter series... something about those hot, alpha males and those feisty females! Can't help but love 'em!
Angie wrote: "Oooh--Highlanders. Do we have a Highlander thread? Do we need a Highlander thread?"
We have a historical romances thread, which includes Maya Banks' Highlander series... But maybe we need a separate Highlander thread, instead? Dunno. Books like Anita Clenney's Warrior series cross-over into PNR as well as Highlander. But Monica McCarty and company are pretty much historical fiction/Highlander.
Mods? What do you think?
Lori what did you think of Tempted? I liked it.
Lori that would be great if you would join us in reading Dirty!
Angie wrote: "Oooh--Highlanders. Do we have a Highlander thread? Do we need a Highlander thread?"
Well... We should have a few HR threads you could use but let me pow wow with the other mods and see. :)
I finished
and it was so good, I just love O'connell's characters.My sons sick so I have to stay home and not go to the family Rivercats game - which sucks so i'm going to read something on my Kindle that I need to read.
, I haven't read a Kitt book in such a long time.
cause she (samantha) is waiting for me to The Hypnotist for our BR - but I suck and am slow (and now rather tipsy)...
Oh gosh. You must be tipsy if you think you are slow. You can out read anyone. LOL.
coming from the person who finished the book before me ;)
woosh...give Djee anuzha jink! Summon...give Djee a jink I shay.
Regina wrote: "Lori what did you think of Tempted? I liked it."I liked it, too. It was sad, but good. I liked Alex's POV in "Everything Changes", although the cover is stupid, since it implies something m-m, which doesn't happen. I was in a menage phase for awhile - LOL!
Just say "WHEN" to start in on Dirty.
Leea, that's a wild book! Short, too. I got it on a freebie (also in my menage phase). :-D
Haha. And since I did, I had to go with the thriller theme and start Kate's book.
Haha I love that - your ménage phase. :)
Let me know how Dirty goes for you all. She is hit or miss author for me.
Ian wrote: "woosh...give Djee anuzha jink! Summon...give Djee a jink I shay."yes, give mke a dirnk I says!!!
Samantha wrote: "Let me know how Dirty goes for you all. She is hit or miss author for me."Same. Although more miss than hit.
my copy of Dirty should be here Monday (it was on 4-14 day shipping, but the UBS was in the same, so i'm hoping sooner rather than later) - I think we said 15th ish, so a potential start date
i've only read 2 by her...one hit (Broken), one miss (the letter writing/fantasy one) - blanked on name
Broken was great. I cried do hard it gave me a headache. Left me drained.
I'm going to hold off in picking up a new book in hopes I can get some things done around the house this weekend. We'll see how this goes. LOL

Angie wrote: "I'm going to hold off in picking up a new book in hopes I can get some things done around the house this weekend. We'll see how this goes. LOL"lol - good luck...when I have the most to do seems to be when I am the biggest bum ;)
I've only read one by her and it wasnt erotica or romantic at all for me but I really enjoyed the characters.

I don't usually have that problem if I get up first thing in the morning and start going. But if I laze around in bed reading, I won't get to it. LOL
i got to hit up home depot and find out if they still have the measurements for my kitchen (for replaceing the floors) available, so I can set up a time to do that, since I have a little bit of cash...going to re-do those floor and new oven
Dee wrote: "i got to hit up home depot and find out if they still have the measurements for my kitchen (for replaceing the floors) available, so I can set up a time to do that, since I have a little bit of cas..."Ummm...can you do that hungover? ;)
yes!! I know what tile I want (getting rid of the icky lino crap and replacing it with stone tile) and then I have the oven picked out (although I might go to hhgregg via HD for it - liked hhgregg more in my experience)
and i'm one of those lucky ppl who rarely gets hungover ;)
Dee wrote: "and i'm one of those lucky ppl who rarely gets hungover ;)"LOL...phew! ;) Good luck with the home improvements!

That's what I was thinking too...about the same storyline. That's why I haven't picked it up yet. I really liked the first few books but the last one was just not impressive at all. I still can't wait to hear what you think of it when you decide to finish it.
And it's true, my heroes have to be an likable ass!
