What Are You Reading? 2015
I finished These Broken Stars! I'm super happy with it and it ended beautifully! Now I need to read the novella and wait until book 2 come out in December! I'm starting The Offering by ER Arroyo next!

So glad you liked it Andrea.
Laura wrote: "Her relationship of caring for him??? She doesnt have a sexual relationship with him but its not like hes underage ,He is in college. There are some taboo in the book i guess but nothing I found an..."Well fwiw, I hated the Dark Duets series too. I stopped after the second installment. This is probably just not my genre. I can deal with consensual erotic spankings between two consenting ADULTS etc...but not with sadistically motivated abuse and pain. I will admit that I was mistaken about something. The sex w/ a teenager wasn't with Wesley. It was with Michael. Besides adult/teen pairings, people having to be hospitalized or requiring first aid after a sexual encounter is my personal skeeve threshold. Even if it is consensual. It's just not my thing.
Regarding the relationship between Wesley and Nora.....he was still very young when they met. He was also clearly in love with her....more than she was with him, as it seemed to me. I found the relationship "skeevy" because he was living with her and it seemed like she was stringing him along and taking advantage of him. I didn't like their relationship because he was young and inexperienced and had high hopes of ultimately changing her. (He was in love with her and wanted a "normal"/vanilla relationship.) She was old enough and had been around enough to clearly see that they were sexually incompatible.

OMG LOVE LOVE all of the books in Original Sinners series Laura! And the audio books are fantastic! The Siren was great and the books just get better and better and better!
I finished

Mod
I've read the first two books in this series
, all of the novellas, and the first of the White Years. This was a tough series for me. I have no problem whatsoever with the taboo and even the more gritty unsettling stories, and this was absolutely a one-of-a-kind series (you can get this much just from book 1, it's intense). It's just not for everyone because Nora is a VERY strong-willed heroine who comes across as detached in some ways, which I didn't like. She has to be that way to be the character she is, and you've got to love her for that. But the dynamic of her loving a man that can never fully give himself to her and then freely giving herself to several other men that she then grows to love...it just became too much like a swinger relationship for me at times. Just my opinion, and I was still absolutely impressed by Reisz because these books are just incomparable.
Mod

Mod
and I'm bummed that I wasn't a huge fan. The characters both had some serious flaws that I couldn't get past, it messed up the whole vibe. On to the next!
Finished
, what a brilliant and delightful read. I loved it. I recommend to all, pnr lovers or not and it's free. Very original and one of the best indie books I have read. I continue my pnr-spree with

The novella is free on amazon right now Nicole. It may always be free but I'm not sure.
I got the last book and Im seriously LOL at myself that I read all these books and feel like the story hasnt gone on more than a years time!! I think the last few books moved forward a week or so each.And worst of all I cant get into the last book at all Im on chapter 3 and I pushed to get there ... the story just repeats and repeats blah blah I wish she really wouldnt have dragged the series out so long!Darrell wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Darrell wrote: "Hello I am reading

I think Im going to fully enjoy The Original Sinners series! Ive read plenty of erotica and BDSM but nothing that really got me into the story they were all just meh But Im really into this story.

It does indeed Tracy!! this is a YA series with a few of the books being Upper YA but seriously I couldnt believe how immature the series got and it started out so so. It was just dragged out way to far the previous 2 books before the last were like reading the same books seriously and they come out 1 year apart!!! Im glad I started this series when it was about 5 books out but still im 7 years into this series just to end hating it.That has never happened to me! Tracy wrote: "That happens Laura."
Finished
and LOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEDDDDDBut another book to come :(
Mod
Sometimes an author just doesn't know when to quit.

Mod
You will definitely love it, Laura!

"oh yay! I love this series, I can't wait to read book three, glad to know you liked it, but a little disappointed to know there is going to be more. I have a short attention span for series', three is about my limit and then I am ready to wrap it up and move on...lol
Bridget wrote: "Decided to go with . Really good so far. Better than the last for sure!"Ohhhh that's next I think for me.
I finished
it was definitely interesting a lot of sex and I mean a lot, which I knew going in but I didn't expect it that much lol. Some M/M actions as well, which was cool but I wasn't extremely into it. The overall story was interesting and kept pissing me off but the resolution to the conflict lacked, a lot.
With a name like
I was expecting a happy ending. But it's not shaping out that way. Almost finished and may shed some tears.
Yes I thought it was going to be a trilogy too but I guess not,not that Im complaining because I really love Maggies books she is a pretty amazing Author!Victoria wrote: "Laura wrote: "Finished

I can guarantee you Erin you will NOT miss a thing if you skim or even read the last few chapters because really nothing happens until then and still its still pretty meh ..Erin wrote: "Laura wrote: "I wish all ya all reading

I am now going to finish off
and put
to the side because its just making me LOL at how immature the characters are and nothing new is happening and its the last book in the series!Then Im going to give
because I love Rachel Caine and need to see if I will love this as much as I did her Morganville Vamires series.Then on to
and maybe havea look into The Original Sinners:White Years
I have no earthly idea what I feel like. I picked up
then put it down. Then I picked up
then put it down too!! Ugh. Now I'm starting
& hope I can finish it. I may start
too.

since it popped up on the iPad this morning. And planning on downloading
to start listening to ASAP. I'm not a huge fan of audio, but the narrator for this series is amazing!
