Thanks Hun. I am enjoying it so far :)
Mod
from Netgalley and I am so excited!

Mod
. This was the most beautiful, heart-wrenching love story I've read and I've had quite a few great ones on the list this year. This is a new favorite contemp romance for me, if you guys haven't picked up
yet, these two are both incredible reads and I can't recommend them strongly enough. Penelope's characters are all so real and have these awesome funny personalities, but then the stories just hit you right in the chest. Loved these!!
Finished
don't think it has anything to really do with the MC aspect of the book, that it makes you think. It mostly takes place at the tattoo shop. It barely has a spike in plot, but overall it's still a ok but still good book. Just the plot could have been better.

But still, that type of referral and mention can go a long one in the future. Name recognition is HUGE in this business and it means so much to me that you would mention me to someone like that :) THANK YOU!

You know, I'm kind of thinking the same thing. After I finish my two current series (LOL) I think I'm going to write a few standalones :)
Mod
. On the bright side, they all look really good! =)

Oh David, that'd be great :) series and trilogies are wonderful but sometimes you just want to read 1 awesome book that tells a whole story from cover to cover and leaves you with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. And standalones seem to be a rare thing lately.
Bridget wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Finished up some new ones that I recently got: and . All were pretty ..."Thanks Bridget, I'm planning on an exciting reading month :)
Erin wrote: "I'm in a blissful 'cloud nine' mode right now after .

Are they about 1 couple or different couples? Just don't want to start anything new that's going to leave me hanging on for the next one to come out or worse even, a cliffhanger LOL! As I finish off trilogies and series that thankfully have come to an end I'm starting new ones on their places so this would be a new one I'd love to start for sure :)
Erin wrote: "Getting backlogged on my blog reviews, so I'm going to be speed-reading these over the next few days: [bookcover:The Fall of Ja..."Oh Erin, these look good. Especially The Fall Of January Cooper. I've added all of these to my TBR but super excited over TFoJC! Will be reading that one soonish I think once it releases. Please keep us posted on how you like it when you're done reading it :)
Now reading Bloodrose. Just reading it to finish the series now really. Not enjoyed it as much as I thought I would. Only on page 174 though so hopefully it might pull back to the greatness of Nightshade
Mod
[bookcover..."
It just made sense. If you read Drowned I'm sure you'll see it. Your writing style and Cyn's are very similar and if they would pick hers up, well, then they NEED to look at you, PERIOD! I will keep mentioning you whenever I can. I want people to read your books. As a matter of fact, I think I will be giving the series to my cousin this weekend. I want her to read it!
UGH!!!!!!!!!!I am reading(and finishing) this book. Have you ever read a book where the idea was good and the plot was sort of good...But the writing and execution is just so awful.
Like it's a good story but horrible way of telling it.
This book has way too many characters(at east 30 have appeared) and they don't all need POVs. They just don't.
Love develops pretty much instantly.....Conflict is seemingly ended rather fast.
yet it's oddly enough keeping me entertained, if I am only hate reading.

each character has their own POV? That sounds seriously confusing

I'm okay with sequels as long as they don't end in total cliffhangers. I hate those, it makes me feel like not reading anymore. There should be some sort of resolution in a book even if it's intended to be a sequel. But stand alones are really nice too. In
those characters go through so much that it was nice that they got their HEA and won't be dragged through any more drama in further books.

Agreed. What she said! :)

Yes. Whether it is a focal/main character or the random guy they just literally met who has to give his thoughts and opinions.
Never mind the fact the fact there are so many characters(with such extravagant and elaborate names and a plot that has way too many turns(not twists...literally so many characters in the book, it's not twists, it's just literally like reading 10 different stories at the same time) that it confuses me.
It's gotten to the point I am literally only focusing on the plot of the brothers and nothing else.

Oh, cliffies are my worst nightmare! Ugh, and everyone is doing it nowadays! Yeah, TBS gave what it could, those characters had nothing more to offer and I would have hated to see it dragged on with false drama. I would not say no to a little novella, though. :D
OMG! I'M SO LOVING this book
LOVE LOVE!

I totally LOVED These Broken Stars Ekaterine :) It's so great when we feel love for the same books! Hopefully we'll have a similar experience with Loving Mr. Daniels LOL!

Oh my Micah, this book sounds really confusing.
Belkis wrote: "OMG! I'M SO LOVING this book LOVE LOVE!"I grabbed this one a few days ago. Think I will read it next.
Sara wrote: "Belkis wrote: "OMG! I'M SO LOVING this book LOVE LOVE!"I grabbed this one a few days ago. Think I will read it next."
I'm loving it Sara. The story is really well written and the characters are layered and deliciously developed and feel realistic not overly dramatic not full of fake/overdone angst. And a lot of the words and sentiments conveyed/expressed are raw and simple. Found another book for my Love shelf and a new author to crush over :) I hope you enjoy it.
You guys seriously need to stop sharing such great books, my list just keeps getting bigger and bigger and my wallet smaller and smaller... Lol such enablers...
Mod
and ."Oh I really liked These Broken..."
I totally agree Ester, that's why I won't read Jennifer Armentrout until the whole series is out if I even do then. She is the worse!
Mod
Haha me to Andrea.

Yes Andrea, we are LOL! But there are so many great books and we're very lucky to have found them enjoyed them and share them with each other :)

Okay so I finished listening to Deeper and Loved it. A 4 star read for me. Had some glorious 5 star moments throughout. No cliffhanger ending, but open ended for an obvious continuation of their story, which of course I'll be picking up as soon as it releases.

I didn't read the first book (Gemini) because I got a review request for Jake Undone, but I'm not sorry I skipped ahead. Jake Undone was awesome, and My Skylar, which has the young girl from JU all grown up with her heart-wrenching story/past, was just outstanding. Apparently the first was just good, so I don't know that I'd recommend starting there since it may turn you away from two absolutely unforgettable must-reads! lol

Mod
Ah, Bloodrose...reaaally didn't like it. Loved the first two, but this was a big disappointment. Then there's the whole Twilight-style love triangle decision that divided fans straight down the middle. Hope you like it more than a lot of us did!

None of my friends are big readers and my husband can only take so much of my ramblings. Coming here is such a relief. I can go on and on about charachters and books and you guys not gonna roll your eyes but fangirl with me. I love it. You keep me sane!
Sara wrote: "Ekaterine wrote: "Finished , Oh I LOVED it!!! It was sooooo good and amazing and heart wrecking and beautiful. Totally worth every tear. *sigh* Can't believe ..."Thanks, glad to hear it's good!! I heard there is a lots of similarities to Slammed, is that so?
