BR with Bev and Ing, here we go!

[BevS]

Couldn't stop reading it...sorry. Up to chapter 8 now...rats is all I'll say!!

[Ingie]

I'm in the middle of chapter 7.

About rats; look at my status update... A few minutes ago. :)))

[Ingie]

Bev, Andrea think my cute tiny bald rat could be our mascot. Do you like her/him too?

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

Ingela, 'bewitched' is such a great word for a book like this! I'm getting back to it in a few minutes, starting chapter 3.

Bev, enjoy Mark and Deacon! ;)

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

Oh and I still love our bathing beauty! LOL ;)

I am so bewitched that I read chapter 8 also before I turn off the light tonight. I look forward to see what you think, tomorrow morning, Andrea!

I just hope Bev doesn't have any rat phobia... or maybe mouse fear is enough. LoL!!

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

Ok, as I type this, I've read through chapter ten.

I love Merrick and Crane... tis a true friendship.

Crane and Stephen are almost switching roles at this point: Crane is trying to reason and help Stephen and Stephen is unsteady, needing the help.

Leo is awesome, I hope we get more of her.

This had better turn out right for Crane and Stephen!!! lol

[BevS]

Morning Ladies, another miserable and wet day here **grumbles**. Haven't got into Mark & Deacon yet Andrea...all the frat stuff went straight over my head cos we don't have it over here so the first 10% of the book was wasted on me - however, we've had our first blow job so may be things will improve from here.

Will be getting on with this one after I get back from the gym later, and yes, I like the little bald rat Ingela....I'm just glad it's not the size of the ones in the story **shudders**. Catch you both later. <3

[Ingie]

In the middle of chapter 11:

I feel a bit sad now... (view spoiler)[poor guys, it was so sad when Stephen told Crane they needed some days apart... (hide spoiler)] and it is maybe to many rats right now. - But this is still spellbinding good.

I'm so eager to read more. See you later, ladies! I'll read chafter 11-14 now and look in here after that.

Bev, fight hard at the gym! I hope that I'll get out of my lazy period soon and get started with exercise and training again. But it is so terribly cold and windy here that I barely want to go outside the door. <3

[BevS]

Haven't even got to the gym yet, but I have to admit I'm feeling particularly lazy...always the same in January **winks**..
but it's got to be done!! Loving this book!!

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

January is def the month of laziness, at least it feels that way lol.

Ingela, I know re: your spoiler! I was like noooooooo! But I have faith lol.

I've gotten through chapter 12 and will read a bit more this morning to keep up.

Don't worry, Bev, Mark and Deacon have so much more in store for you. ;)

[Ingie]

...as Stephen and Crane... I wish. More nice steam, please! I'm a smut lady, nothing to deny anymore.

[Ingie]

Slightly too many right now?

[BevS]

In town having a coffee before we go to the gym. Haven't looked at your spoilers Ingela...it could be bad news...but I have faith in our men!! Still on chapter 8 so you 2 are waay ahead of me. x

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

Cuteness, Ingela!! Enough to ward off the nasty ones in the book lol.

Enjoy the coffee, honeybunch. :)

[Ingie]

Have a nice time in town, Bev!

Is it night or morning over there, Andrea?

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

It's about 9 AM as I type this.

So, I was reading, got to the end of one chapter, expecting to see the start of the next as I tapped the screen on my kindle. Instead, it was the end of the book! lol
So, unintentionally, I finished!

So as you guys move forward, post here and let's discuss! I am not in any hurry to review, I may even re-read lol.

Yummy!!

[BevS]

Really on my way out to the gym now, but at least you said yummy Andrea so that's good enough for me, I'm loving this book!!

[Ingie]

That sounds good, Andrea! I think I'll finish it later tonight (still on chapter 12).

[BevS]

Just finished in the gym and now having a cup of tea, phew!! If I had smileys on this kindle, I'd be using the puffing and blowing on the treadmill one...only did 2 miles as I'm easing my way back in, so a light meal when I get home and then this kindle and I have a hot date!! Sorry I've been so slow but lots of other things on at the moment.

Any more freebies either of you can recommend?? One of my authors is not very well at the moment and I'm sending him some freebie reads....he leans towards the less vanilla end of the spectrum but any freebie is a freebie when you're ill.

[Ingie]

Well done, my friend!

I'll think about it.

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

I shall try and think of some, Bev!

Now get back to that smokin' kindle lol

ETA: see if he's read Kraken , it both free and not vaniller, at all lol. Weird! But not vaniller.

[Ingie]

I just read the last page. As you said Andrea, the end came surprisingly quickly. I'm pleased and hope that there will be more parts about these gentlemen.

That (view spoiler)[walk and their talk (hide spoiler)] was really cute. I love love ...

[BevS]

Up to chapter 10 now, you two go ahead and do your reviews if you want. I've got 4 books I need to review I think so will have to get a wriggle on hehe.

Andrea, Kraken sounds like a good one...the old tentacle sex hehe. I might download that later for him...Ooh, and I've got a good rec for you and Ingela if you're interested...The Student Prince by Fay Jay which is fanfic and free, about Harry Potter and Merlin...all sorts, really funny - I'm sure it's your sort of thing.

Right, I'll get back to this 'hot' kindle AND story. Catch you later. x

[Ingie]

Thank you, I got that one (The Student Prince) already, just never read it. But I will, some day. I heard a lot of good about it. (I think maybe Andrea started to listening to it as an audio book?)

I will just do a short review and will finish it now.

Have a nice time with these gentlemen.. they are so good to be with. :)

[BevS]

Oh no, I thought they were going to split up, but Esther has decided she has no problem with what Stephen and Crane get up to...I expected as much, the justiciars have to be quite forward thinking to do their job don't they?? Up to chapter 12 now.

Ingela, I've had the Student Prince on my kindle for at least 9 months and am still no nearer reading it, but people I rec'd it to back then said it was great. I must get around to reading it...perhaps I'll send that one to my author...he needs a laugh!! :)

[Ingie]

Yes it is really some great emotional scenes at the end. ... But watch out for the rats.

Maybe TSP should be a BR next summer?? Haha! It's a long book also...

[BevS]

At 74% now...ah bless, they're in love!! Wonderful.

You'll have to start thinking about the next buddy read...what do you fancy??

[Ingie]

A ordinary mm CR maybe, and the new C&R of course.

[BevS]

All finished, sighs. Loved it to bits. Mine will only be a short review as others have done huge ones. Will have a look through the books I've got on pre-order tomorrow to get some ideas, and read a little more of Mark Cooper now and call that it for tonight. A successful book, yippee!! :)

[Ingie]

What is more suitable for this BR success than a the slideshow of adorable and very cute rats one more time. I have written my review and it got 4.3 stars and a lot of love for this lovely series.

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

Ingela, you crack me up. :)

Glad you loved it, Bev! And Ingela, that walk and talk was lovely!

I have the audio for TSP and have listened to the first few parts - hysterical!

Yay for a fun BR! We'll def have to see what's coming up for another.

[Ingie]

Looking forward to read your reviews. ((Hugs))

[BevS]

Good morning from a dull, dank, dark and depressing UK **grumbles**...yes, it's raining again!!....swears at the sky.

Enough with the cute and adorable rats now Ingela...or I will develop an allergy hehe!! Andrea, she cracked me up ages ago!! This will probably get 4.5 cos it wasn't as funny as the first one, although I'm sure it's not KJ's intention for them to be laugh out loud funny anyway!!

[Ingie]

Ugh, I'm also so tired of this snowy, but gray and so cold winter. It's dark and depressing here up in the north too.

I really hope there will be more parts. I have just started reading a police romance (A Rookie Move) and it feels promising so far. But it's not quite the same as the funny lord and his dirty talk to his hot lover. :)

[BevS]

Ooh, Sam B Morgan...yes, I really liked that one months ago, and have have downloaded his new book Slow Burn which is a bit hit and miss apparently, but it's been so long since he brought A Rookie Move out, I was hoping that his latest one would be spectacular hehe.

As for our next BR, I've got Strain by Amelia C Gormley on pre-order with Riptide, but it is sort of science fictiony (!!)...and I have to admit not a lot else that would be suitable for a BR so it's up to you two Ladies!! I have got lots of things on order but mostly parts of series which I'm following.

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

This one did have a different tone than the first Magpie, and it felt like the nature of the story almost dictated that. I'm gonna be re-reading this lol.

I've had Strain for awhile now, supposed to read and review with Marc for the blog. It's had good reaction from some who have read it already. Here's hoping tis good!

We'll def have to find something good for the next BR. :)

[BevS]

Good reaction...yeehaw!! Andrea...you know what's coming out, give us some advance warning. I'll be ordering AJ Rose's Queers tomorrow and I know from FB that Brandilyn has already claimed that one (hehe). <3

[Ingie]

About next BR:
You two are always a hundred steps ahead of me in reading all these books, so I trust that you will soon have some good ideas. There is hardly anything I've read that either of you already haven't read, etc. I like most books and different genres too, and I rely on your good taste in smexy m/m books.

About this BR:
I agree with you Andrea. This book was also more true romantic than what I expected, and everything was much cuter and nicer this time. But it also felt quite okay.

[BevS]

I've tried to do my review..but have now had to do a factory reset on this tablet as well...it kept freezing when I was doing my review, and it's only 6 months old!! It's not the way I treat things...honest!! I'm doing a mini review with quotes. Let's see what Andrea can come up with as far as future releases are concerned....ooh, did either of you read Collide by Riley Hart?? Her next book Broken Pieces is out on the 4th February..if we can't find anything else, and we don't have to read it straight away. ♥♥

[Ingie]

Haha! - What happens to all your technology? Virus? It's so hard when things just stutters and doesn't work. Sigh! I suffer with you, Bev!

I got Collide in my Kindle. But I havn't read it yet.

The new one Broken Pieces sounds good with me. If you look at the cover it looks like a ménage with 3 guys. I haven't read any "3" yet so it could be fun to do it with you two (holding my hand...).

It's definitely a menage Ingela, and I'm fine with that providing there's a story there and it's not just sex. Riley was one of the first people to friend me on here...she didn't wait until she had a book coming out hehe. I've had enough of technology for today, I'm off to bed to do some reading and try to prepare my reviews for tomorrow. Have a good night and sweet dreams my friends. ♥♥

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

I can't believe your tablet is now acting up lol, that's crazy!

I also have Collide but haven't read it yet. Do you think we'd need to read it before reading Broken Pieces? I have BP marked on my tbr but haven't pre-ordered or anything. I wonder if/where it will be available?

I probably won't get to my review for ACoP until this weekend unless I'm rully up for it tomorrow.
Right now, I just wana git in the shower and snuggle in for the night and read lol

Hugs to you both!
