Haven't read it yet. Had a look inside on Amazon and somehow the writing style didn't really work for me. Or is it just the first few pages and then it's easier to get into it?

I'll definitely be reading it soon too. Am totally hooked. Can't stop thinking about it.

and it's already piqued my interest right from the first page. I wonder who the hot mystery guy is *co..."Gah, it's such torture not telling you what happens in the second one, but let me just say I had the same feeling you do right now about T but she literally keeps you guessing and going back and forth even through the second book! WHat is your theory on 'Him'? You MUST go on to episode 2 so we can discuss, I'm dying to bounce ideas off of someone here. lol I think I get the third one this week so I'm counting down!

Oh GOD, yes!!! SO excited!

Well, I mean everyone has a style that doesn't work for them and I can't say for SURE that's not the case for you here. All I can say is this was a great story with (as Danielle mentioned) a feel to it like
, so I loved it. You should definitely give it a go!

too. As I was reading reviews I was disappointed to hear that someone who gave it 1 star was singled out by the author on her Facebo..."Thanks Erin for your take on the review, I respect your opinion and I get what you're saying. I'm glad to hear that the author is a sweet person. I hate reading when bloggers/reviewers get attacked for their opinions. I guess when I read Laura's review I took it a little differently because I agreed with some things she pointed out. She did say she liked her previous book:)

Oh hmmm maybe I'll start a different one then. I haven't started yet.

It was super easy for me to get into. I didn't have a problem.

I love both Penelope's too! So far Gemini is great. It's Jake's older sisters story. If my child was autistic and someone said things like the reviewer did, I'd have a hard time not saying something too. If she had complained simply over a bad review that's different but there was more to it this time.
Bridget wrote: "Sara wrote: "Going to read 
which is cute so far, and 
which i have high hopes for because i loved the Trylle trilogy this is a spin..."I was going to start Frostfire last night but picked Gemini instead. Ill start it next though because I'm reading it for a challenge. I'm excited to read it too because Amanda Hocking is one of my favorite authors. Trylle and Watersong were both amazing.

Hey Heather, I'm a fan of both Penelope's as well. If we're referring to the same reviewer I don't think she said anything bad about the author's child. She said "I'm aware the author has an autistic child and I applauded her for raising awareness of it in Gemini but considering all three couples from each book are connected somehow it again seemed a bit 'convenient' that there was another autistic child and it was similar to Gemini how said child responded so well to the heroine. "
My only point in bringing this up was that I don't agree when an author dislikes a review they receive and points it out for others to attack. Sometimes we don't like or agree with each other but it's a difference of opinions that makes life interesting:)
Hey everyone has anyone read J.R. Ward's
series and would you recommend it? I actually haven't read any of her books yet but I know there's a new book in this series coming out soon so I thought it might be a good time to jump on board

It may have been timing or mood, not sure but I didn't care for it. I did however LOVE the Black Dagger Brotherhood!!!

Thanks Bridget :) I'll read it then. Eventually LOL! Goodness the pile of books I need to get thorough is a mile long hahahaha!
Bridget wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Just finished and it was really, really good."Oh good to hear Bridget, since I've got this one sitting in kindle too."

Oooohhhhh Well now I'm going to have to move this up because On The Island is one of my all time loves!
Okay I finished
and it was so SO good! I need to read book 2 as soon as possible I've already 1-clicked it onto my kindle! Erin this was soooo addictive! I'm reading
which is good so far. I needed to get back to this Clipped Wings series. I'm also listening to
which I'm also enjoying so far. Next I'm planning on jumping into
hopefully I can stay on track LOL!

I shall once I get to it. I'm restoring my ipad because none of my notifications were working except for 2 apps and it was annoying the crap out of me. GRs wasn't working. So I've been googling and backing up and all that.

Yeah, it was just a flippant remark about her having autistic kids in her stories, but I mean, come on...that's not something that needs pointed out. There are tactful ways of saying you don't like a story, and for the VERY few times that I really nit-picked it was because the books were suffering from truly obnoxious and unlikable characters and poor editing. You just don't need to bring up personal references or bash a book that is clearly well-written but just isn't your thing, ya know?
Mod

I have read almost nothing but M/M since the new year. Dont know why. Just got on a big kick. So now I think maybe I should try a M/F again and not sure where to start. Maybe something big and PNR.
Mod
is so not keeping my interest. Been there, done that plot, annoyingly clueless heroine, and a frustrating leading hottie who just keeps promising to protect her while refusing to tell her what's going on. I'm only 40% in a 200 page book and I feel like I've read for hours! I swear I've got to stop agreeing to review these entangled stories that have no reviews yet, especially when the author only has 3 star reviews for their other books. =/
Bridget wrote: "Just finished and it was really, really good."Well, since your recommendation and everyone's comments, I just bought it! It sounds great. Up hope I like it too.
I need a tearjerker for a challenge. Recommendations?? I've already read last year's big ones...Fault bbc.co in Our Stars and If I Stay, which I didn't like. Sorry!! I know that book has lots of fans!
Ok someone with an iPad tell me if the goodreads app is in the Notification Center for you. I redid my iPad because I was suddenly not getting notifications so I made it like new, and now goodreads is no where to be found in my settings or Notification Center and so I am not getting any push notifications at all. It's driving me crazy. Is it the latest version and are you iOS 8?
Mod
That's what happens to me Rebecca. When I start reading them that's all I read.

I've read it before and thought it wasn't bad but nothing that really stuck in my mind forever and always.
