I read a great one for #10, and since you don't mind a bit of steam in your books, lol, I'd recommend , and LOL I now see that Kathy recommended the same one. IT WAS AWESOME! I loved every second of it, and it has an epilogue, and I love those!

Good Luck! I haven't checked to see if it's lendable but if you're interested and it is, i'd be happy to lend it to you!

[Gisbelle]

Thanks ladies! The title is enough to prove how steamy it is :D

[Mandiann]

I really enjoyed . Very cute and sweet!!

[Gisbelle]

Right? I loved Lola more than Anna. Cricket was so cute!

[Mandiann]

He was swoon worthy!

[Kathy]

Yes! I loved it too! I can't wait for to be released! Why do we have to wait sooooo long!? :(

Right? It is so frustrating waiting for the books you really, really want to read.

Mandiann wrote: "He was swoon worthy!"

Totally! I was so in love with him when I was reading that book.

[Mandiann]

Because the author has her own complicated real life stuff to deal with. I will happily wait as long as she needs to write it.

[Gisbelle]

I see :) It doesn't matter much since we have so many other books to read anyway.

Gisbelle wrote: "I see :) It doesn't matter much since we have so many other books to read anyway."

Too true! I cannot keep up with them all! So many books to read!!

[Kathy]

Yes! You're right Mandiann! Sometimes I need to be reminded of those things! I can be so impatient when it comes to these things! Thanks for cooling my heels! lol! :D
