That's too bad you hated it Stacia. I haven't kept up with that series, I blame her writing the books out of order. ha!

I find most HEA menage triangles to be unbelievable in books. The only one that I sort of bought into was
but it was easier because the person fell in love with both of the people at separate times. In Double Time (not really a spoiler but some people don't like knowing these details ahead of time), (view spoiler) It was all a little too convenient. I think it should have been a m/m book instead of a menage.
I read the first two in that series and had to give it up. I just didn't care for them. Especially Jessica in the second book. I hated that girl with a passion. LOLI have to say, though, the woman can do steam.

oh yes, she sure can do steam =D
Finished
I was on the fence about this series up to now but if the rest of the books are this good, I'm in.
Each book got better for me, but by three I was hooked too. The next few are my super favorites!

Finished
and probably won't continue the series.Going to start
.
Ted, I deleted your comment because True Love 101 has a no author promotion policy.
Thanks for taking care of that, Leea.Over the weekend, I finished reading
and
. I just started
.
Burned through the rest of the Psycop series. In the end, it wasn't about a romance or the myteries - I was in it completely for Victor. Great character!
Yay! That's how I feel too. Victor number one, and then I did like his romance with Jacob.
Wendy F wrote: "Yay! That's how I feel too. Victor number one, and then I did like his romance with Jacob."I liked Jacob, just that the romance evened out into a relationship without a lot of drama later on. Which was nice.
Yeah, it totally did, and I agree, it was nice. Romantic angst is not the driving force.
Got
off NG. Super fun, sexy contemp. Perfect summer read!
Finished
and really enjoyed it!Going to start
.
You know what I'm sick of? Men who treat women like idiots!
Portrait of a Dead Guy
It's all, Now don't you worry your pretty little head missy. (that's not a quote, but it might as well be)
When she isn't playing the doormat in the school play, there is enough that I like that I'll probably finish it.
Fans of Historical Romance...let me just say, The Duke's Holiday is amazing! Drop a duke with OCD into one of his estates which has been run quite well by a woman with mismatched eyes who wrestles pigs. Then let the laughs begin.

Ian, I think that should be the official synopsis for the book! I'd totally read it based on that. The actual one - eh, maybe.
Finished
based on Ian's synopsis. :) LOVED it!Also read
which in the end I didn't find the payoff worth the read.
Hahaha, I'm going to read that one!
finished
and it was ok. now to read
and listen to
I just started reading After the Golden Age by Carrie Vaughn and I'm really struggling. Not with the book, that's OK...there is a problem with the technology. I keep tapping the page to turn it and nothing happens. Finally I just go in and manually turn the damn thing. Seriously! It's no wonder people went from books made of paper to digital copies! It's surprising that the old technology lasted over 1500 years.
Finished
by SEP and was really frustrated with the direction of the story and the characters. Definitely not a favorite of mine by SEP.Going to start
.
Stumbled across
on release day yesterday. So of course had to read it. I think I'll probably just read anything with these characters. It wasn't the best of her books - too much policework not enough relationship. But I love Kels. Still lots of fun and heat just like I expect from Roux.
i'm kind of burnt out on Roux's stuff, haven't read the last Ty/Zane book and too cheap to buy the first book in that series
I finished reading
and it was cute and fun.
- very dark and twised m/m. I liked it. Liked the mob setting, liked the messed up sub assassin, and it's a smorgasbord of kinks. Something for everyone.Also read
- I've always been fascinated by the Hasidic community and it was interesting to see a mystery set here. Solid story.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

Tellulah wrote: "Got 
off NG. Cute!"It does sound cute. I just downloaded it too. Thanks!
I'm finally starting
. I have my mind set right for heartbreak and also want to finish this before I watch the movie.
Tellulah wrote: "Got off NG. Cute!"Oh...Jilly just read that and wasn't all that impressed. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts. I love the 'turning her life around after being mistaken for a prostitute' part of the synopsis....but the rich guy / poor girl thing and setting it in Seattle kind of makes me want to puke.
I just started Rock Chick Rescue. It's a hoot! I have some issues with Kristen Ashley's rough around the edges / near enough is good enough writing ... but all that disappears with the audiobook. The audiobook is awesome sauce!

I didn't really get a rich guy/poor girl vibe off it. Her family wasn't poor. She'd just made some life decisions that hadn't gotten her anywhere financially yet. And Seattle could be a filler for anywhere. What did bug me was that in the first half she veered between super sunny and self-denigration. But it got past that. And really, I was so happy that the book was actually funny that I was willing to forgive a lot.
I am flip-flopping between two books right now.

Woot! Just picked up Better Homes & Hauntings by Molly Harper. Time to drop everything else and jump in!
