BR with Bev and Ing, here we go!

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

Ok ladies, here be our thread for this BR. I have a feeling this will be more successful than some of our others lol. :D

[BevS]

No comment about previous sci-fi reads!! Just going through my 'social' in-box...over 1000 messages (faints) so it just shows you how far behind I am...and how I must try and keep off FB for a while, but it's very addictive isn't it Mrs Gassy!!

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

1000... what the hell? lol that's nutty.

and yes, no more sci-fi for us for awhile. I have high hopes for some fun with this one, fo sho.

[BevS]

What about Mark Cooper...final verdict?? Loose Id's website is going to be absolutely swamped on the 28th...I can't believe they haven't put pre-ordering on the book page!!

[Ingie]

I'm out of town over the weekend, in our beautiful capital city Stockholm. See you later. :)))

[BevS]

Have a lovely weekend Ingela, enjoy yourself in Stockholm. :)

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

I hope you're having a fab weekend, Ing. :)

And Bev, MCvA is definitely worth it. Gotta work on the review today so I can have it up before Lisa and JA stop by next week.

So looking forward the reading this one with you both. :)

[BevS]

Stop by on PBA when?? I'll make sure to look in...make sure you ask some really difficult questions hehe.

KC Wells has just offered me another ARC, and I thought that after my review for her last book...Ingela knows which one, I'd be off the radar cos I only gave it 3.5 and that was being generous, but I've decided honesty is my new word for 2014 so if a book stinks IMHO, I'll say so. ;)

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

I think the interview is set for the 30th? Would have to look at the schedule again.

And I try to be honest in my reviews, good, bad and everything in between. If there is a good bit of bad, I try to find those silver linings.

[Ingie]

Hey Ladies! I'm back in my small boring town (Motala) again. The advantage is, of course that I have time to read a bit in all my languorous and dirty romances again. After a fantastic hetro romance last week, I look forward to meeting our mysterious men on Tuesday.

Will now try to catch up with what has happened here on GR and what you girls have going on right now.

[BevS]

Hey Ingela, hope you had a great time in Stockholm!! Not been on here a lot, too many things to do, and I'm still trying to sort my new kindle out..not very happy with it actually, it doesn't do a lot of the things my old one did, but that's something for me to take up with Amazon tomorrow.

Really looking forward to ACoP on Tuesday and our next buddy read. Apparently Lucien is even more sexy in this one...impossible I would have said hehe.

Andrea, have put the 30th in my kindle planner for your chat with Lisa and JA so I don't forget assuming of course that we have the ruddy book to read by then!! Catch you later ladies and have a good night. <3

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

lol @ ruddy book. When I looked on Loose ID today, it was listed but still no option to order. Verah odd. Hopefully soon.

I'm really looking forward to our BR, too. Sooo wana escape with those two. :)
And both of you!

[Ingie]

I feel just like you, Andrea! I miss you girls.

[BevS]

OK Ingela, what can you tell me about Jack Otterstedt?? One of the male authors I follow on FB has been completely mesmerised by him and really all he knows is that Jack is Swedish and has long hair (Fen loves guys with long hair hehe). Is he gay, straight, married, how old etc?? Whatever he is, he went straight into Fen's spank bank (Andrea will know what that is)...I won't tarnish your innocence Ingela by telling you what it means...although I'm sure you can have a very good guess hehe.

So looking forward to tomorrow's read and your company as usual. Am now going to look (yet again, sighs) on Loose Id's website for that ruddy book, and to check if you've posted your review honeybunch. Catch you both later. :)

[Ingie]

Bev, I had never heard of him. I looked him up online and I see that he is very, almost divine, beautiful. I understand your friend. The Swedish newspapers or gossip pages haven't written anything about him that I can see. Maybe he is too new? What I see is that he is 22 years old, unmarried and living in a suburb of Stockholm.

[Ingie]

"spank bank"??

[BevS]

Spank Bank means a folder or file of pictures a man such as my author Fen looks at when he fantasises and masturbates to help him 'cum'..oops, this is embarrassing , there are so many words for masturbation as far as men are concerned and 'spank' is another one. Fen has recently split up from his boyfriend and so 'wanking off' is the only way he has to relieve sexual tension, he's not into casual sex. Hope that all makes sense Ingela . These are just a few examples of what masturbation is called in slang terms 'self-abuse, wanking, frigging, onanism, playing with yourself, autoeroticism, flying solo, beating the meat'. Today's medical lesson is now over phew!!

[BevS]

This is the picture that Fen was over, he was drooling ...and not making a lot of sense at all, hehe.

[Ingie]

Haha, haha.... I love you, Bev!

[BevS]

And no, Mark Cooper vs America is still not available to order on the Loose Id website ...it supposedly gets published tomorrow!! I wouldn't think Lisa and JA are going to be very happy...

[BevS]

Love you too Ingela.

[Ingie]

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

Hopefully you see this, Mark Cooper finally went up for order a little while ago. It'll be waiting for you!

Freakin lol @ your "wanking 101" - classic!!!!!

Just fyi, since this should be on my kindle when I wake up, I'll be starting in the morning! Woot!

[Ingie]

Morning Bev! (I hope you're in bed and sleeping now Andrea)
Our awaited book has now absolutely magic found its way into my Kindle. Yay!!

How are we doing today?

[BevS]

Yeehaw!! I love the way these books magically appear, and I really like the cover too!! 16 chapters in ACoP so shall we get to the end of 4 cos they look like long ones and then chat?? Or make silly remarks before then as normal hehe. Catch you later Ladies, I'm off to order MC vs A right now!! :)

[Ingie]

4 chapter sound good.
(I'm reading Bodies in Space and it's so touching cute that my heart nearly burst of emotions. What a wonderful gem about love.)
See you later!

[BevS]

Hallelujah....got it AT LAST!!

[BevS]

Ooh, will have to look that one up Ingela. x

[Ingie]

Bev wrote: "Hallelujah....got it AT LAST!!"

Congrats!!! :))))

[BevS]

Okey Dokey, will download that one later. Come on Andrea, where are these rec's?? Off to look at your MC review now. x

[BevS]

Up to the end of chapter 2, loving it so far but RL intrudes unfortunately grrr!! Back to this later. Bye Ladies and have a good one. x

[BevS]

Ladies, could one of you email me the mobi version of the Bodies in Space?? I've tried to log onto the Archive website and my details have expired and I'll be waiting forever in their queue to get it reset. Email address is bevsutherland2306@gmail.com....PLEASE??

[Ingie]

I will do it. But did you try this link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/7855...

[Ingie]

Bev, I couldn't send a mobi file from my iPad (it was a pdf). I will mail you the one you want from my PC later today. Okay!? :)

[BevS]

Thanks Ingela, all sorted. {{{Hugs}}}

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

So, Bev, are you all set with Bodies in Space?

And my ACoP is here, tooooooo!!! :)

[Ingie]

Good Ladies, then we're in BR shape!

I'll start to read for a while now. It will be so wonderful to meet them again. I hope for a great BR with mysterious tension and very amusing heat.

As a true Swedish, I must, of course, brew myself a cup of coffee first.

[BevS]

Of course, a cup of coffee (or tea) always comes first!! :)

[BevS]

Thought my days of Wanking 101 were over Andrea hehe!! ;)

[Ingie]

Dear Bev! I love your country and when an Englishman says “He's a pleasant enough chap.” I know I will enjoy the book. LoL!

[♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣]

Just finished chapter one... loving!
On to Ch. 2.

[Ingie]

Me too! I'm very pleased so far. :)

...or “Oh, jolly good, XX!”. I would have loved to say that in all possible and impossible situations. LoL!

[BevS]

I can just imagine these guys wearing a monocle, with cravats and very posh accents...'I say old chap' or ' My dear chap'...unfortunately in the Real World most of us have regional accents cos we're not posh, so God knows what I would've done in those days....hooker with a heart of gold maybe hehe?? ;)

[Ingie]

My dear chap, you would have been kidnapped by a broad-shouldered blonde and blue-eyed Highlander and after some time with heat and tumbling in the tower room, given the responsibility of all the keys to the castle and become a dear Lass. LoL!

[BevS]

Why thank you Ingela...you've elevated me to mistress of the castle, hehe!! Scottish is even more difficult to understand than English...even I have trouble and himself is of Scottish heritage!!

[Ingie]

I love to dream... some day I've to write a steamy and epic romantic HR. :))))

[Ingie]

My thoughts after chapter 1-4:

Yeah one thing I can atleast say, they were not shy (or apathy or dull..) back in the day either, more than 100 years ago. I loved (view spoiler)[that hot couch (hide spoiler)] scene!

There is something magical about these books. I get just as bewitched at once, and I like to read a few more chapters this evening.

We'll keep us away from those sci-fi books. As soon as we choose something else it immediately becomes so much better. This is gonna be a hit as it thunders about. Or what do you two say so far?

[BevS]

Yes I agree. Just finished chapter 4, and as you say, this sort of book is so better than the sci-fi ones we've been trying. Her writing is so crisp and concise, it's funny and Lucien is doing his best to be protective of Stephen and Leo (I think he feels more for Stephen than he's letting on)...Merrick can look after himself of course hehe.

I'm going to start Mark Cooper now AND take a sneaky peek at Bodies in Space. 3 wonderful stories at once...**happy dancing**

[Ingie]

Have a great reading night, Bev! See you tomorrow. :)
