The Temptation of Lila and Ethan (Secrets #3) by Jessica Sorensen → Start Date: November 5, 2013

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Please feel free to join Gisbelle, Mandiann, Kathy and I as we continue the Secrets series with Lila and Ethan's story!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Be sure to let us know Mandiann and Kathy (and anyone else interested in joining!), if the date doesn't work and we can move it around!!

[Gisbelle]

I'm excited about this one (even I haven't finished or started book 2 yet :P)

[Mandiann]

Me as well! But it gives me the right incentive to start book two. I can also start this weekend with you but probably not until Sunday as Saturday I will be reading Allegiant!!

[Gisbelle]

I'll read it on Saturday, mandiann. I'll be reading another book on Sunday :D

[Mandiann]

Sounds good. I will check here for your thoughts.

[Emily]

I would really love to join you guys but I need to read the mountain of unread books sitting by my bed and the hundreds of unread kindle books I already have before I buy anymore. :) but can't wait to see what you think of it once I start making a dent in my already owned books I'm most definitely reading this one. Loved Callie and Kayden.

Yeah, no worries. I was just doing the reverse.
this one first and then greed. but I noticed I was doing it backwards :)
I'm absolutely drowning in books lol

[Gisbelle]

I'm about 1/3 in Greed, so I guess I'll be able to finish it tomorrow, then I'll read this one.

[Vicki]

Trisha, lol playing catch up? Isn't it still so fun though? Lol

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, I'm through the Prologue...

Ethan - Does anyone else remember who London is?? Did I miss her in another book and forgot? I went through old threads and couldn't find anything about her...
I just wanted to make sure I didn't forget who she was :)

[Gisbelle]

I don't recall any London.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, lol, I thought I was losing my mind.
I dug through old reviews and our old threads. I'm glad it's not just me :D thx Gisbelle!!

[Gisbelle]

welcome :) I'll check again and see if I missed anything :D

[Gisbelle]

Nope... still no London.

That Prologue is LONG!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

right?! LOL

it's soooo stinking long. I was thinking I was already a chapter or 2 in and then...

chapter 1

lol

[Gisbelle]

lol :D I'm reading it right now. Geez (view spoiler)[ her parents are so irritable. It's like living in a boot camp or somthing. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

OMG @ 31% !!! FINALLY

I now understand the joke about Red Lacy bras

lol! Yay! :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, done with 5 chapters

yikes these 2 are a mess

Lila (view spoiler)[ OMG she is a walking train wreck. someone needs to help her. Get a job, pay bills
my goodness she's entirely unprepared for life (hide spoiler)]

Ethan (view spoiler)[ he's so good. I wish he'd let himself try to help her. (hide spoiler)]

Ella and Micha (view spoiler)[ I guess I never realized how wrapped in their own world they are. but they are entirely missing what a downward spiral both of their best friends are doing... (hide spoiler)]
Red lacy bras and candy canes (view spoiler)[ OMG I LOOOOOVE knowing the story now. I remember these 2 laughing about it in the previous book! I so love knowing.
(hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

I'll continue tomorrow. I finished Lila's part in the prologue.

[Vicki]

I hope to start this tomorrow.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay 10 chapters in

Lila (view spoiler)[ wow, going through all that - with Ethan. I'm glad he's standing by her but wow. it's a lot.. I'm glad she's finally getting her life back in order. Selling those clothes is a great first step. (hide spoiler)]

Ethan (view spoiler)[ jeez, I understand his distance but REALLY?!?! Yikes! it's just such a messed up situation..I'm glad he's giving her distance tho. (hide spoiler)]

London (view spoiler)[ I kind of think he should go visit and let it finally go. He didn't make her do what she did. (hide spoiler)]

[Mandiann]

I am almost done book 2! I will start three tomorrow.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay! Can't wait for you to join in Mandiann!

Are you / Did you like book 2???

[Mandiann]

Just finished book 2. I liked book 1 better. I will start book 3 today.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

and...I'm done.

I love knowing about Lila and Ethan... I can't wait to see what you guys think!

[Gisbelle]

Glad you liked it, Trisha. I'll read it once I finish which is not that long so I hope to finish it by this evening.

[Gisbelle]

finished chapter 5

I agree with you, Trisha.

Lila (view spoiler)[ is a total mess. It seems to me like she doesn't care about anything. I know her parents are part of the reason why she is who she is now, but come on, she needs to take more responsibilities in her life.

I can't say I like her character :( As usual, I don't like reading about characters who like to sleep around. (hide spoiler)]

Ethan (view spoiler)[ he is hot and cold and is sending mix signals all the times.

Why I don't understand is why he keeps saying he loves London. From what I have read, their relationship was mainly physical. (hide spoiler)]

Red lacy bras and candy canes (view spoiler)[ I liked that scene :) It was sweet in a sexy way lol (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

finished... (view spoiler)[ I liked this one more than book 2. I loved the part that Ethan helped Lila become independent and learn to live without having a lot of money. He was so sweet. (hide spoiler)]
