Robin  (robin-alisha) | 209 comments I'm reading "The Valley of Amazement" by Amy Tan and "Dark Places" by Gillian Flynn.

As far as "Naked", I did have a few issues with it when I first read it. However, I want to do a re-reading of it honestly.

Anino  (anino) I'm currently reading Baby Wanted (BWWM Interracial Romance) (A Bundle of Joy) by Roxy Wilson but it is so ridiculous... Too much dysfunction...

Good to know Anino. Something about that cover kept turning me away. Glad I didn't get it.

I could see where the author was going with this book, but it just wasn't for me.

Lol. I so agree with your review.


Savannah- Quad Motherin' Book Readin' Diva (quadmom2005) | 1549 comments On my phone so can't hyperlink it but I'm reading The Crush by Crystal Hubbard. Well told so far and has some genuine LOL moments . The heroine is biracial (black/Brazillian). My only complaint is that Hubbard seems determined to play up the heroines latino heritage and all but dismiss the African American side. And its not backstory/upbringing. Not really feelin that. Still, nice read so far.

Um no, the only reason I haven't written a review detailing my immense dislike, is my inability to lay out all the issues without becoming as offensive as i found that book.

I can't wait to read your review.

There was A LOT of FAIL in that book. Can't wait to read another review that shares the same WTF.

I hate to say it, but I think this may be a DNF for me. I'm having some trouble getting into the story, and the writing style.

I decided to put Unexpected Odessey (The Transformation Series) by Sanya Dane on hold for now, and have started The Governor's Sons by Maria McKenzie .

I just couldn't get in to the story, or the writing style. I may revisit it again later, but I just want to read something that doesn't take so much effort right now. You know what I mean?

Bree202 | 19 comments I'm reading Tethered by L.D Davis. Awesome read. It has more than 50 pages and is not just about sex ;)


The FountainPenDiva, Old school geek chick and lover of teddy bears (thefountainpendiva) | 1216 comments Just finished Superstar by Roslyn Hardy Holcomb . It's a quick read but pretty decent. You know I love my rock n' roll, lol.

Elise-Pinterest+Goodreads=The Perfect Book Boyfriend (eliselovesshinyandnew) | 56 comments Was reading Unexpected Odessey (The Transformation Series) by Sanya Dane and it has earned the unique distinction of "fastest book I've ever put down"!! Could not get with the writing style.

TinaNoir | 1458 comments Tamekia wrote: "Just finished In Jack's Arms by Roxie Rivera- loved it!"

I loved that one too.

I just finished two each of which i would probably give 2.5 - 3 stars

In the Moment by Vallory Vance - Good ideas, choppy scenes, insta-sex. Writing wasn't bad but I kept being yanked out of the story by how disconnected the scenes are.

A race for redemption by Serenity King - heroine was a race car drive, Yes! Again, very Good ideas and the chemistry b/t H/h was good. But the writing needed work. Dialog didn't sound natural, characters were too surface and I was squicked by the non-safe sex (especially since it was established the hero was a bit of a player).

Currently reading Kiss of Fire (St. James Family #2) by Lavender Parker I am only at 6% but I am feeling optimistic about this one.


message 173: by Anino (new)

Anino  (anino) I'm currently reading Casualties of Love by Denise Riley .. It's good, but I'm noticing some issues with grammar, etc...


message 174: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Jackson (paperbackdiva) | 335 comments Some authors that I'm learning to really like and I thought they were worth mentioning. Kiru Taye, Obi Orjiekwe, Nana Prah. I get a bit of a global perspective on romance. Some of these books are interracial and some aren't.


message 175: by Anino (new)

Anino  (anino) Currently reading Urban Vampire The bookset 1-3 by Pepper Pace , which is really good.. Wish I'd read it sooner..


message 176: by TinaNoir (new)

TinaNoir | 1458 comments Finished Kiss of Fire (St. James Family #2) by Lavender Parker and love it! Now I want to read the other two in the series.

Also finished A Subtle Tenderness by K.C. King . It was nice, thought the romance move a little fast for my taste.

Currently reading Tethered by L.D. Davis and I am loving it!


Savannah- Quad Motherin' Book Readin' Diva (quadmom2005) | 1549 comments Tina, I agree about A Suble Tenderness. I usually like a tiny bit of insta-love but maaaaan, they took it to a whole new level! lol

I'm really looking forward to reading that series! I'm glad to hear you like it. I'm curious to see how Pepper Pace tackles paranormal. It's on my "to read soon" list!

I LOVED TETHERED AND ACCIDENTALY ON PURPOSE AS WELL. BOTH SERIES ARE WORTHY OF A REREAD.

I'm almost half through it. How are you liking it so far?


Monica **can't read fast enough** (wwwgoodreadscomuser_monlat) | 895 comments I like it, but it is definitely a slow burn. I'm not sure if I really like Elliot though, he's a bit on the a-holey side! I hope there's some revelation later on that allows me to forgive his jerkiness, but he's running out of time! This is definitely different from Love Script!

TinaNoir | 1458 comments Just finished Tethered by L.D. Davis and I really liked it. Which is saying something because approx. 75% of the book takes place when the h/H are in their teens. I don't read YA/NA romance as s rule and this book really encapsulated why (steamy sex scenes with 16, 17 y.o -- no). But that said, the writing and story telling here were great.

TinaNoir | 1458 comments Been on a good roll lately with IR

Finished Sergei, Volume 2 (Her Russian Protector, #5.5) by Roxie Rivera . it was very sweet. Some of the issues I had with the first book were missing (Bianca seemed a lot more comfortable in her skin). I really enjoyed following up with Bianca and Sergei.

Finished Love through pain by Ancelli . I didn't love it as much as a lot of reviewers. Good story, but had some issues with execution.

Currently reading Again by Sharon Cullars and I am really digging the vibe.


message 192: by Kim (new)

Kim (kimgm) | 1032 comments I just started reading Love through pain by Ancelli but it hasn't really hooked me yet. Also reading The Trouble With Love by Christina C. Jones , which I really like so far.
