No, Jahayra said the same thing ..."


You can't just dangle that little piece and leave us hanging! At least tell us the book you loved, so you don't feel like you're slamming the author :).


~IreneOust~ Yes, Shannon ... WTF??? You drop a bombshell like that and leave us hangin'??????? At least message us ... LOL!


And now I know what Mo and Shannon go through when I post Gandy GIFs ... I feel the same way about Skarsgård ... LMAO!


Shannon The Co-Captain Bahahahahaha! I kinda did... Maybe you didn't read the book. I said she was a >FLAT-OUT< Bitch...

Ahh. I get it :)

OK, let me rephrase that - I only love him as Erik because he looks freaky and suits Erik's character to a tee!

I do prefer Gandy, but I couldn't find a gif of Gandy licking blood off his fingers...LOL!

Mo gotcha. have not read that one.


Shannon The Co-Captain Ok, I looked and I didn't see Flat-Out Love on any of your lists. It was one of my favorites this year but she's not very nice. It's really disappointing...

Chris I have a good one of Erik, but I'm too damn computer illiterate to put it on here. Hahahahaha

I know! It's like if I were to meet Tom Hanks and find out he's an asshole. I would be devastated... I can assure you Tabitha is cool as hell so read her book if you haven't already....like I said, The Tied Man will stand on it's own merit but she really is the nicest person. I'm going to try and be scarce today so I can finish The Edge of Always...I've been reading this fucker since the 7th and I'm only at 34%.... Anything and everything is getting my attention. I wanted to love this book so much I could cry and I'm not far off from crying tears of boredom! I hate when this happens!

Enjoy, Shannon, was not a huge fan of the first one.

I have it on my to-read list, but I haven't gotten to it yet. I think I will enjoy it.


~IreneOust~ The Edge of Never/Always are pretty much YA, right??


Shannon The Co-Captain ~ Irene ♥s ~ Søren ~ Ben O'Callahan ~ Joe Callahan ~ Javier ~ Manuel ~ wrote: "The Edge of Never/Always are pretty much YA, right??"

Yes Irene and The Edge of Never is on my always a keeper shelf. It is not your typical story and the hero in the story....OH-EM-GEE! He's in my top five! You would probably hate it but you should be seeing a trend that I like stories that are totally original with awesome fucking characters and I like nice guys....because everybody else being an asshole pales in comparison to JZB...they just don't do it right.

SCORE!!!!!!!!!! Tit for tat big girl. For every Gandy you're gonna get an Alex. I could look at sexy Skarsgard all day long.


~IreneOust~ Shannon, you say that now but wait till you meet my Benny boy ... ;) I have nothing against nice guys, I just don't care for post-teen drama. I don't know. I'll skip it for now but I will never say never to the Edge of Never ... LOL!

You should read it Irene...it's not young drama at all. I don't read much YA unless it's really original...like this one. It's really more NA than YA. Anyway, the guy in the book listens to classic rock, plays a guitar and drives a Chevelle. Classic Rock AND Muscle Cars and I almost forgot the most important thing: he gives good head???

Shannon The Co-Captain Andrew Parrish from The Edge of Never is what I would call an old soul. He doesn't exemplify immature behavior once in the whole book. However, at this point...I'd probably tell you to stop with book one. As much as that breaks my heart. Seriously, my heart is broken. I just need to finish it today so I can put it behind me and move on...


~IreneOust~ Shannon, I trust your judgement 'cause we seem to agree on most of the books we read so I might give it a shot as long as you promise me it's not another Thoughtless ...

OMG!!!! Have you not read my review for that book Irene? Seriously....go read it. I would rather be jobbed in the eye with a sharp stick than read that shit again. I'm putting The Edge of Always on hold and reading Try.... I think some M/M sexy time is exactly what I need.


~IreneOust~ Shannon, I went and looked and I remember it now! LOL! I even "liked" it and commented on it in the past :) OK, I'll read The Edge of Never eventually. I just can't deal with anything that's a tearjerker right now (hence me not going anywhere near Making Faces). I need good sex and lots of it.

I didn't cry when I read The Edge of Never but most people do I think. Just keep it on your list for one day. Andrew Parrish is totally worth it and the heroine is good too. I could never ever like a book solely based on the guy. I don't have to love the chick but I can't hate her and then like the book. My brain don't work that way....therein lies the problem with book 2...Camryn is making me roll my eyes. It has gotten better but I'm wishing now I'd have done what I did with The Dark Duet. Left it at that. See this is the same situation. Book 1 was a standalone and then after the success she added a second book....just like The Dark Duet with the Epilogue.... I'm probably going to take a lesson from these that if the author didn't have additional books planned from the get go....skip them! lol

Irene, curious...what is your favorite tearjerker??? And don't say Hostile Takeover!!! LOL! :)


~IreneOust~ LMAO!!! Jennifer, I swear to you, my tear ducts were DRY by the end of Rock and Roll Never Forgets. I am not kidding you, that was an EPIC love story. I also cried a lot and for days after I read Blind Obsession but not as much as during and after Rock and Roll ...

Sounds good! I think book one is on my TBR already. It might actually even be on my Kindle as well. I need to do a search. Thanks, Shannon! xo

I didn't cry when I read Blind Obsession. I like never cry. I LOVED that book though and I thought the ending was perfect!


Jennifer I haven't read either of those, but I really need to!


~IreneOust~ Shannon, I too thought the ending was perfect and that bonus chapter from his POV totally sealed the deal for me.


I think I cried more because I was so envious of how much he loved Chantel, does this make sense??


~IreneOust~ Jennifer wrote: "I haven't read either of those, but I really need to!"

YOU MUST!!! Both are MUST READS, IMO!

That is so funny because I just found out about the bonus chapter like maybe 10 minutes ago. I totally get you! Jahy recommended it to me and she hated Chantel but I loved the two stories and thought it was beautiful and very brave of Ella Frank to end it that way...I think it was best though...it didn't feel contrived but realistic. Loved it! It's one of the most original books I've read and very hot at the same time! I'm just starting Try so I'm very excited!

Mo Me Before You by Jojo Moyes was the one that I could not stop crying over. Days and nights later even. yeah, think I shed a tear in Blind Obsession too. His POV, need to remind myself of that.


~IreneOust~ Mo, I know you told me to read Me Before You but I am scared. Same with Making Faces. I know I will eventually but I need to gather some courage ...

Do not read this book Irene. It is nothing but emotional blackmail! I'm still pissed over that book! and yes, I cried like a bitch!


Shannon The Co-Captain Irene, who is the author of Rock and Roll Ever Forgets...there are two books with that name.


~IreneOust~ Shannon, it's this one:Rock and Roll Never Forgets

Great book though, Shannon. I was so mad at the end of it.
