Between the Lines Series by Tammara Webber - Starting July 24th 2013

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Reid Alexander is used to getting what he wants – and what he wants next is his newest costar, Emma Pierce. The universe is lining up nicely to grant his wish, until he’s confronted with two unexpected obstacles on location: a bitter ex-girlfriend and a rival for Emma’s affections.

Emma Pierce just got her big break after years of filming commercials and made-for-TV movies. Winning the lead role in a wide-release film – opposite the very hot Reid Alexander – should be a dream come true. But Emma’s heart is hiding a secret fantasy: she wants to be a normal girl.

Greta and I will be starting this series from July 24th. Everyone welcome to join ☺

[Greta]

I've read really good reviews about this one :)

[Sapir]

I'm in!!! This series sounds awesome and I'm really in the mood for a buddy read so I'll pretty much read anything with you guys. xD

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I have wanted to reada these for so long!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just found out that there is actually a fourth book in the series coming out august 6th!

[Kate]

The first one is pretty nice. I just can't remember why I didn't finish it. I probably got to sixty-ish percent when I stopped reading (I think it was last summer). I may have had a reader's block (my version of a reading slump) and lost interest in a few different books.

[Mei]

I'll join! Never got around to reading these the first time. Just wasn't up for a romance.

I'm In!!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Great!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I started about an hour ago. I'm glad there's no pretense that Emma doesn't know Reid.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

40% (view spoiler)[ A love triangle? :( (hide spoiler)]

[Greta]

First impressions of Reid and Emma?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

They're alright. I just finished the first book. It was okay. I kinda expected more though.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

WYA 10% (view spoiler)[ I do wonder what exactly she's doing going to college? Why doesn't she just focus on her acting career? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

WYA - Have to say that I like Graham better now that we're getting some bits from his perspective. Throwing in Brooke's perspective as well is possibly taking it too far though.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

WYA 30% Well so far it's no better than the first one.

I warmed up to Reid a little. Emma was annoyingly passive. and. Wish we had more if Gragams thougghts the whole way through.

I'm bored in the Brooke and Reid chapters. I just want Graham and Emma.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm pretty bored full stop. I just want brooke and Reid to stop interfering and leave Emma and Graham to it!

i started days ago and have hardly budged. i dont think this one will get the 3.5 i gave the first one.

i know reid will have to redeem himself at some point in this book bc the third is all about him

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Finished. It didn't get any better. Felt like hitting Reid and Brooke. Why can't they just move on already?

[Greta]

Sarah wrote: "Finished. It didn't get any better. Felt like hitting Reid and Brooke. Why can't they just move on already?" was the ending good or anticlimactic?

btw... u must have the best child EVER if he or she leaves u to read so much! lol

[Sarah Elizabeth]

He generally just sits on top of me while I read the kindle. I haven't watched a non-kids tv programme in months!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

This third one is even longer than the others.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The third one is more boring so far too. They're decorating.

[Greta]

awww... a snuggle bunny :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Finished. the third one was probably the best of the lot, the romance was much better. I did think it quite bad that Reid was perving on a 16-year-old though!
Emma, Graham, and Brooke were not in this one at all though. (view spoiler)[ have to say that I'm a little surprised that Emma and Reid didn't end up together as that is what I expected from the beginning. bit of an odd series really. (hide spoiler)]

Dori is 16? How old is Reid in this? 20?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

she's 16, and he's 19. by the end she's 18 though, it's set over quite a long time period.

[Greta]

oh...then it's not insta love. i might like that:)

graham was 20 and emma was still 17 when they met.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I know, but it just seemed a bit weird. she's 16, and a pastors daughter, and he's nearly 20, and has been arrested for drunk driving. you can kinda see why her parents told her to stay away from him!

[[deleted user]]

You guys are fast! I'm hoping to start the first one soon!

[Mei]

Hahaha I know! Still at 55% in book one though! You can always hop in the discussion, even late. I'll join you

[[deleted user]]

I will!

[[deleted user]]

Starting the first one!

[Greta]

i hate it when authors make mistakes about details ex. (view spoiler)[ Gragam was a senior at sixteen and had his daughter just after his seventeenth borthday. then in the second book he says he was a college sophomore at sixteen (hide spoiler)] idk why these things annoy me so much.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I thought she got mixed up with ages too. I just couldn't be bothered to go back through the book to confirm it. It annoys me too!

The third one was my favorite. (view spoiler)[I liked Reid and Dori better together than Emma and Graham. (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait for !

(view spoiler)[ I didn't really get Emma and Graham, I totally expected Emma to end up with Reid. The romance was definitely better in the third one. (hide spoiler)]

Emma, Grah..."

I felt the same way :)

[Greta]

69% into WYR...Brooke is totally despicable . I can't believe she thinks that getting a picture of something will ultimately make it real. Crazy girl.

I can't believe that Reid just sleeps with that sorority girl who basically hates him or that he and Brooke as a couple used to play games like (view spoiler)[ Brooke getting Reid to hit on girls justo she could "take him" away from the (hide spoiler)]

I hate Brooke. She's immature, selfish, and petty. Really don't like her. She's going to be one of the main characters in the fourth book!

[Greta]

:(I hate how naive and PASSIVE Graham and Emma are.
Ex. (view spoiler)[ when Emma offers to get an apartment in ny and graham says she might prefer to liven a dorm! Wth (hide spoiler)] it's not that I need an alpha male character all the time, but show a little enthusiasm, dude!

[Greta]

Just started GfY...in the beginning it says she is 18
Reid is 19. Hopefully the author doesn't contradict herself later.

[Greta]

Reid acts like a friggin' sex addict!

[Greta]

Definitely like Dori better than Emma so far.

[[deleted user]]

I'm still on book one but I'm enjoying it. Still out on the characters.

Someone warns Reid to stay away from her, and tells him 'She's only sixteen you know.'

Starting Where You Are today!!

I liked the first one! At times the characters got on my nerves it in the end I ended up liking a few of them.

[Greta]

About 70% into GFY ...I'm really liking how both Dori and Reid are reflective about their own lives. I'm absolutely gutted about (view spoiler)[ Deb's accident. I absolutely understand Doris's crisis of faith. (hide spoiler)]
