It has it, but it is a little different than you expect; not too sophisticated, in that regard. Fun. Definitely read the DQs in the NBRC thread for some answers/guesses as you read along. But don't read ahead! LOL!
I've read 21 books this month and there were only few 5 stars:
Not 5 stars but still great books, worth mentioning:

[bookcover:..."Omg!! 21 books! You read Duncan's Bride! That is a fav of mine. Isn't the book awesome and very underrated? I love Reese and Maddie.
This was actually a very slow month for me, since I had lots of school work to do :DI loved Duncan's Bride so much, I don't know why I waited so long to read it... I liked it so much I read Loving Evangeline almost immediately after Duncan's Bride and I liked it as well (not as much as Duncan's Bride though).
Gigi, The Stranger I Married was my first Sylvia Day book. I picked it up by mistake and ended up giving it 4 stars :)
I had a really good month!
★★★★★
★★★★
The others were 2 and 3 stars.

A very good idea :)
I had a really weird month, I got sick with a neverending cold and I think that sucked the enjoyment out of some of my reading. Especially when all I could do was stare at a page with weepy eyes! I wasn't on GR much at all either.Anyway, I only ended up with 2 5 stars.
and both of them are pretty much autobuy authors for me. I didn't really dislike anything else, just nothing else really rocked my world.I'm looking forward to June though. I'm totally psyched for
&
Ugh, it's still going around my office!I'm really looking forward to the next Maiden Lane book (series spoiler) (view spoiler) it's sure to be an angst-fest!

I gave it 4.5 stars. Loved the hero and the world building. This book is truly steampunk unlike
, which was more paranormal romance.
Wow, looks like a lot of great books read this month. Jenny wrote: "KarenF, I totally sympathize with your never ending cold. I have one right now as well. Blech.
As far as books this month, I didn't get much read, but what I lacked in quantity got made up for in..."
Holy Toledo! Whats going on this month?!?! KarenF, I hope you feel better!

[bo..."Nichole, you did!!! I really liked The Stranger I Married. So weird, usually its the other way around....the male character needing to be convinced to have a traditional marriage. I really liked the change.
I see, you've read Naked in Death. Hmmmm....I'm overdue for a Roarke- fix!

I still have to read Loving Evangeline. I'm usually very critical of the heroine's, but I loved Maddies spunk!! Such an awesome story.
