I read it before Ugly Love and I was just sooo ..."You didn't really Rebecca? I felt they all ended in a cliffhanger. I will probably finish because I have a hard time stopping a series like that but I just don't know when.

Mod
I read ..."I agree with Rebecca. I only felt book #3 was the biggest cliffy.
Finished
I can see why some people got upset with Adrian, but I can also say it's true to his character. I also was hoping Ms. T would have been there, or around.

Ok, so i flew through
while the kids were at school and I happened to LOVE it!!! Ive seen so many people saying they didn't like it and it was different than her other books. But different can be good. I thought it was in this case. To each his own I guess. I think CoHo is brilliant. I think I'd read her grocery list! Lol
Mod

Mod

Mod

Bridget wrote: "Ok, so i flew through while the kids were at school and I happened to LOVE it!!! Ive seen so many people saying they didn't like it and it was different than her othe..."Me too Bridget, I'll read anything she writes. Anything.
Mod

Ok so idk what to read, I'm looking for a contemp romance.or NA but idk.Between these I guess.
or
Now I like equal or more parts dialogue, sass, snark, not a lot of description but general enough. I like stories that pick up quickly, I'm sick of nothing picking up until 50%+ way through the book.
And as you can tell they are all part of the challenge lol.

[bookcover:The Vincent ..."Not sempre then. That book is so effing long! The first and second halves are also distinctly different. The Vincent boys is decent but thats about it. Havent read the other two.

[bookc..."Thanks. I hear Sempre is good, but it just takes a while then?
Danielle wrote: "Ok so idk what to read, I'm looking for a contemp romance.or NA but idk.Between these I guess.
[bookcover:The Vincent ..."Sweet Gum Tree!!!!!!
Danielle wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Ash, Kishan, Warner ♥ wrote: "Danielle wrote: "Ok so idk what to read, I'm looking for a contemp romance.or NA but idk.Between these I guess.
[boo..."Well, the first half is all mush and romance. Then the conflict starts in the second half and its action and life or death. I preferred the first half. The second half ruined it for me, but that's just me. But if you prefer the story to really delve in early, Sempre does not do that. Well, unless you think of the romance as the story.
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Ok, so i flew through while the kids were at school and I happened to LOVE it!!! Ive seen so many people saying they didn't like it and it was differe..."I'm not sure if I prefer Maybe Someday or Ugly Love..... I think I like them equally, but in different ways if that makes sense. It's like, MS punched me in the gut with the whole Ridge/Sydney relationship, but Mile's story in UL is heart-wrenching. It just takes a while to get to the heart of it. Again, I'll just say that CoHo is brilliant!!
Hello everyone. I am reading n old favorite.

[bookcover:The Sweet Gum T..."
Gotcha, I'm just sick of having to go through even 50 some even 80% of the book before anything meaningful happens you know? Plus with being a moody reader if I'm not in the mood for it I just can't get into it.
I say idk what to read all the time lol.
Bridget wrote: "Danielle wrote: "Ok so idk what to read, I'm looking for a contemp romance.or NA but idk.Between these I guess.
[bookc..."I know it's good but does it get into it quick?
Bridget wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Ok, so i flew through while the kids were at school and I happened to LOVE it!!! Ive seen so many people saying they didn't..."This is good for future comparison since I LOVED MS

Ok Bridget thanks I'll read that then!!
Mod
Between these I guess.
[bookcover:The Vincent ..."I've only read Sempre and I didn't enjoy it at all.
Mod
while the kids were at school and I happened to LOVE it!!! Ive seen so many people saying they didn't..."It's true they are both brilliant. And I gave them both 5 stars. But I just loved Ridge and Sidney's story line. I liked Miles and Tate's too, but it was very different. I guess they are kind of hard to compare.
Bridget wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Ok, so i flew through while the kids were at school and I happened to LOVE it!!! Ive seen so many people saying they didn't..."Yes Bridget, she's the Queen of love for me :) I will everything this woman writes till the end of time!

Out of all the ones listed the only one I haven't read yet Danielle is The Vincent Boys. But of the 3 left, Sempre is my least favorite. I honestly didn't care for it. But Girl With Guitar was good, I still need to read book 2. And my absolute favorite is The Sweet Gum Tree. LOVED LOVED It! But it is emotional so don't know if you're in the mood for that. It's a fantastic read though.
Okay so I finished
and loved it! It was perfectly written. Jumping straight into
because I need to more of Lucas & Mia! Then I plan to jump into
because I'm so hooked on these Kowalskis LOL! And then
for my perfect reading weekend :)

?
In all honesty No I didnt really notice any cliff hangers either I mean it was a series so I expected there to be some mystery left but even after finishing Opposition It still had an open ending,not everything was wrapped up. No clue what happens with the Origins and so on ...

I just couldnt get into this book for me it was the slowest and boring of them all.It started out good and just went to meh for me but that ending!!! Was not expecting that !!Danielle wrote: "Finished
I can see why some people got upset with Adrian, but I can also say it's true to his character. I also was hoping Ms. T would have been there, or around."
Finished
and I had a WTF? moment at the ending because I thought this was a trilogy! But I see now there are 2 -3 more books? Gah Had I known I wouldnt have jumped on reading it so soon! But again was pretty good!
Not sure what Im going with next Nothing Ive looked at is grabbing me sooo not sure ...Ill have to look through the Mod challenge list and see if theres anything there that grabs my attention.
Mod

Did you go with SGT? I loved SGT I was hooked from the beginning! Especially after she says "How am I supposed to fix him if he dont listen" that was sooo cute. Its a love story from the beginning just cant go wrong with this book!Danielle wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Danielle wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Ash, Kishan, Warner ♥ wrote: "Danielle wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Ash, Kishan, Warner ♥ wrote: "Danielle wrote: "Ok so idk what to read, I'm looking for a contemp r..."
Laura wrote: "Not sure what Im going with next Nothing Ive looked at is grabbing me sooo not sure ...Ill have to look through the Mod challenge list and see if theres anything there that grabs my attention."LOL! Yeah Laura when I first started reading this story I had thought it was going to be a trilogy too. But then I discovered, too late at that point having started book 2 and fallen totally in LOVE by then, that not only was it not going to be a trilogy but that it was going to be a 6 book series!!! UGH! Talk about torturous waiting but at the same time more books to anxiously look forward to hahahaha! OMG talk about love-hate!

Yea I could see that I found myself wandering at times too. Yea that ending was good, but I almost felt like Sydney saying she is tired of all that and wants peace I really felt like it was Richelle saying she's sick of writing the series? Am I projecting? Lol
I finished
and I thought it was good, but ok. Idk it didn't blow my socks off. The constant foreshadowing really did it in plus the way the story was told instead of experienced I didn't like. I want the feels.

It's probably in my top 5 favs of all time. It's one that I go back and read at least once a year.
Bridget wrote: "Danielle wrote: "I finished and I thought it was good, but ok. Idk it didn't blow my socks off.

I do that when the book blows me away lol.
Bridget have you read
I kinda dug it.
I'm reading
, why are there so many POV's! I loved the first 2 books but all these POV's are making me skim. WTF!!!! I've been looking forward to this book like nobody's business and I'm feeling disappointed so far.

For me its the major cliffhangers. I understand one every now and then but every single book is ridiculous. Have enough confidence in your writing to know that your readers will come back. And that's not just JLA but for all of them that think they have to end every book that way.
