It's so hot here today... It's going to be 90 this week, where did spring go.
I think you stole our heat! We're still in the 40s here!
It's hot here today too! I took the kids to the park and it heated up quickly. Then we came home, turned on the sprinklers and the kids were having a blast running through it.

Marcella wrote: "Angie wrote: "Can someone who has read The Unfinished Hero series by Kristen Ashley help me out? How similar are the books in this series? I just finished and it was jus..."Thanks, Marcella. I guess Knight just didn't do it for me. LOL I'll give the next one a go! :)
There wasn't much action in "Knight"...don't get me wrong Knight is one hot guy...but the other ones have more of the action. As I said the stories aren't earth shattering but they kept me entertained. Did I mention the men are smoking hot? Ha ha!

Ha ha! Knight's book was a little disappointing but I stuck with it because I really liked the characters. This series falls flat compared to her other ones but for me the characters made it worth the effort.
The last book Raiden had me balling like a baby.

Oh, great! The only KA that had me crying so far was Lady Luck.
Correction...the last book is called Raid. Not sure why I keep calling it Raiden...maybe because it is his full name. Oh geez...I remember Lady Luck...yup I was crying on that one too.

Yeah, Ty and Lexie really got to me. It's my favorite KA so far.

I'm reading
but I'm taking a bit of a break because work is about to go crazy and I need to spend time with my man and have my own romance before I end up working an entire month non-stop.
Finished our buddy read of
and I really enjoyed it. I cannot wait to read the second book. Tomorrow i'm going to start our viking group read. I hope more are going to join us.Why are the weekends so packed with stuff to do and sooooo short. haha!

I concur. ;)
Glad you are enjoying it Angie. I was worried when you said you weren't impressed with Knight.
Marcella wrote: "Glad you are enjoying it Angie. I was worried when you said you weren't impressed with Knight."I actually like Knight better in this book than I did in his own. LOL

I did too. I think his woman made him more sensitive. Ha ha!
Starting in on
today with the Group Viking read - yay!Waiting on EiT #2
(Red Fox) until the end of the month for another potential buddy read.Just finished up with Troubleshooter books 7
and 8
this weekend. I can't help myself - I have to jump into book 9,
, because I know that Max-Gina and Molly-Jones are in it. Although I'm not so sure about this jumping-around in the plot device. It's making me a little crazy right now.
almost done with UnWholly - I liked how the first one was on the Micro level - just the kids, this one on the Marco level - more of the government, the campaigning for and against etcalso reading Exposed (Skylar Cates)

Marcella - much better, thank you for asking! I just have a few sniffles and fight a sinus headache. But most of the coughing and other gross stuff is gone. No more breathing treatments, either! Yay!

Toni Blake's series is another one I need to get caught up with...lol!
LOL. I didn't like the last book so I hope the chick in this redeems herself. Toni too! Lol
I am reading
again for the buddy read!
I am hoping to finish
tonight so I can read
for my group read.
I finished
...the girl was so stupid in this book but I loved the hero! Also, the sex was so hot!I'm starting
for the group read. It will be my first Viking romance.
Kay wrote: "I finished ...the girl was so stupid in this book but I loved the hero! Also, the sex was so hot!I'm starting

Thanks Jen. Looking forward to discuss it with everyone when we're all done.
De nada. Me, too! It's going to be fun to see what everyone thinks about these Viking men!
Kay wrote: "I finished ...the girl was so stupid in this book but I loved the hero! Also, the sex was so hot!I'm starting

I folded... I couldn't get Perry and Dex out of my head so i'm starting
I finished
and was in the middle about it. The first half was silly but the second half was a lot better/more intense. I'll probably read book 2.Halfway through
and I sense a ranty review coming up when I finish. It's pretty ridiculous in parts. Will start the viking book in the morning.
I've been wanting to read The Rules. I loved her Ghost and the Goth series, but was nervous about starting this one. It didn't seem to have the same light hearted feel to it that the Allona and Will books did.Also reading
. Normally it's easy for me to break up a series, but this one has it's claws in me.
After the disappointment of
I'm going to dive back in to the Troubleshooters series.
Here's a question for all of you - anyone know of any good NA (I want the more mature content, more than say a Cassandra Clare book) that's UF, PNR, romantic sci-fi or fantasy? But there should be some level of romance.
There isn't a whole lot of non-contemporary romance NA out at the moment. It's still a fairly new/untapped market. The CR stuff is pretty steamy, but the limited stuff coming from other genres isn't.The only NA PNR book I know of is
. It was originally published as a YA book The Falling Star, but the author added in some steam. But I haven't read it and the book seems to have very mixed reviews, so I don't know if it's good or bad. I read one of her NA contemps and it was decent enough but nothing exceptional.You're almost going to have to go with adult books featuring a younger protag for the time being...something like
or
maybe?Although if you get to a point where you wouldn't mind less steam (there is a romance though), this is an awesome NA UF book
. It's one of the only non-contemporary NA's I know of.
Oh, I forgot about Angelfall. Penryn is 17, but because the book is a book about survival, it reads older/more like adult. Good pick, Regina.NA (New Adult) is college age, mainly 18-22. It bridges the gap between YA and adult books. It's not a genre, but a reading level itself.
I was thinking about angelfall and maybe nominating it for a group read - since its been on my pile forever
Yeah it's all I got. Lol. Also
but I think the heroine is 25 just still in college.
What the heck classifies a book as New Adult?

I'm so glad you're enjoying these as much as Wendy and I did. I was so sad that we finished and there are none coming...
