That's saying a lot from you since you read a lot of this genre. Have you ever attempted to read any of her other books? I looked at the descriptions and then read the first few lines of a few of the reviews and none sound like anything special. A lot of insta-love in them all.

I've heard lots of good stuff about Slade Danielle and have it in my kindle. Maybe I'll move it up since it's a short one for when I'm in the mood for a smexy read.

Oh I can't wait until you get to Q & B's book Erin. It's SO GOOD! I liked Tohr's story too. Hope you're enjoying it.

It's a really quick read I started from chapter 2 today and finished shortly. I think I started a couple hours ago.

OK Donna, I just got Finnikin of the Rock (Lumatere Chronicles, #1) by Melina Marchetta from audible. After I finish The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden, #1) by Julie Kagawa I will start it.

YAY!!! OMG I'm so happy you loved it as much as I did Donna!! And I did the same exact thing, jumped straight from one to the other until I finished the entire trilogy. I'm planning on rereading soon I loved them so much :D Quintana is by far the most heartbreaking of the 3 books Donna. My heart just kept breaking over and over for her :'( so be prepared. But it's magical and you're going to love it just as much or more than Froi's book!

Oh I hope you like it Tracy. It's utterly fantastic. Such a layered, complicated, emotional, well written story. And the narrator is marvelous for these audios. Does a brilliant job at capturing the feel of the story and characters. Brilliant!

I still haven't made my peace with it you know Tracy. Even though I truly liked Tohr's story and have some to appreciate his new love (I draw a blank on her name, Xhex's mom) I'm still not 100% with Ward's choice with Wellsie and how it all went down for them. I try very hard not to be resentful and bitter but often times I fail miserably LOL!

Yeah I picked this one up a few months ago and it was getting a lot of love from readers along with Bend (Bend Anthology) by K.I. Lynn before it was pulled from being sold for some reason. Plan on reading both and I hear that they're both rather great :)

Her name is Noone and I totally understand. I hated that she killed off Welsie but she (view spoiler) because seriously, if she was going to do that Welsie would have been the better choice. Anyway, I guess she was seeing the bigger picture. Things wouldn't have turned out the way they did I suppose.

Yeah that's waht I keep telling myself too Tracy but somehow I still go into a mini-rant every now and then LOL! Because of what you pointed out, exactly that, come on! If she did that?! Then why not Welsie?! UGH! So unfair :(

Right LOL! That's what I said. Not sure why, I can't remember. But presumably the stories in it are scorchers LOL! Look at the yummy cover HOT! It was offered for a limited time as a bundled anthology for .99 and I grabbed it before it was pulled. I think the 8 stories are available for purchase individually from each of the contributing authors. I need to move it up my reading shelves so I get to it soon and don't forget in the piles and piles of books hahahaha!

It may be not necessarily be a sensible reaction, but I honestly just refuse to read anything else she writes. There are too many amazing talents out there with great reads, and she lost my trust in her storytelling when she did what she did with that story. Many disagree and enjoyed her other work, but I just can't get past it. On to the next! LOL

Oh I am DESPERATE to read Q and B!! I just finished my first "official" M/M romance by another author, so it's got me completely enthralled with the idea of the two of them together! lol Not loving Tohr's so far, I just never really connected with him because he was so distant and No'One is just kind of blah so far. She's just now breaking out of her shell so I'm hoping she grows on me. I have to admit though, I was in tears during the scene where he laid next to Welsie's dress and imagined her there...uuuugh.

Have you read Jake Undone (Gemini, #2) by Penelope Ward and My Skylar (Gemini, #3) by Penelope Ward yet? Two of my faves I read this year, just devoured them. How about R.K. Lilley's books? Both of her series were incredible, one kind of a better twist on Fifty Shades-style In Flight (Up in the Air, #1) by R.K. Lilley and the other a great contemp that rips your heart out Bad Things (Tristan & Danika, #1) by R.K. Lilley . You might have already gotten to all of these, just ignore if these are old news for you. ;-)

Laura  (llbasaldua) | 790 comments It was her first and I loved it I payed .99 for back when it first was released. Erin hated it I loved it it is ONE of my rare 5 star review books. My review is still on Amazon but nothing on here since I deleted my account and started all new I dont think I added it back on here. So if you bought it back before it got picked up its most likey still they old self published edition. I have both ha!

I liked Slade. Saw where the second one just released. Think I might try it. I've been soooooo busy these last couple weeks and haven't had any time for reading. It's way past time to get back in the groove.

Tiana411 | 701 comments Just read Six of Hearts by L.H. Cosway , really enjoyed it. Also read Sparks Rise (The Darkest Minds #2.5) by Alexandra Bracken and I LOVED it! Best novella that I never wanted to end. So sweet and heartbreaking. Arghhhh I want more of Sammy and Lucas!!! Normally I don't like spin offs but this might've changed my mind.
Now I'm going to impatiently wait for In the Afterlight (The Darkest Minds, #3) by Alexandra Bracken !

I'm not sure if you will love Tohr's story but it is a necessity for B&Q. There will however be more parts in this one that will make your eyes water.

I just finished My Skylar (Gemini, #3) by Penelope Ward and I LOVED it! I doubt I would've read it if it wasn't part of the mod challenge but I'm so happy I did. I've been recommending it to everyone I know.
