Cool. There are a few ladies who were interested in reading this book. I'm waiting for them to set a start date. Probably a little later this month. But everyone is free to start & post when they chose.

I love this book. <3

[Laura]

Excellent Laura! Hopefully we'll have an official start date soon ;)

[Katy Loves Romance ❤️]

Yay!! Awesome im all in ❤️❤️❤️

[Tanja ~ KT Book Reviews]

Okay, I have a question please :)
I just popped over to Amazon and the Kindle addition is $9.99 and if I understand correctly its book 1 in a 3 book series?

It is a 3 book series ... I didn't realize it was so expensive ... maybe someone has it available to lend? I'd offer, since I have it in paperback as well, but us Canadians don't have an option to loan ebooks :(

Lots of people only read the first 2 books in this series, btw.

Thanks, that info helps :) Think I will hunt it down in the bookstore instead of digital.

[Kim]

Vrsha! Katy! Glad to have you here ladies! ;)

It'll be up to you to decide when to start ...
I'll join in whenever you like.

[Katy Loves Romance ❤️]

Ok fab, I'm reading the fixed trilogy ATM second book now so as soon as I'm done I'm jumping in with this. Unless someone makes a date??

[Rachel]

Anyone have a date in mind? Or arcs that prevent them from starting?

[Kim]

I'm at your mercy ... since this is a re-read for me, I'm leaving it up to you ladies to pick a date ... or just to dive in & start posting ... I'm a great multi-tasker & can read more than 1 book at a time ;)

[Rachel]

I might have to read more than one book at a time during this lol

It's a long book. But, it's so worthwhile *wistful sigh*

[Katy Loves Romance ❤️]

Well this is my plan, I'm finishing the fixed trilogy.. Half way through the second! I'm then going to read f*ck love.. I am then diving into the bronze horseman.... So thinking around 15th of Jan??? Is that a good date for people??? Xx

[Rachel]

Sounds good to me!

[Katy Loves Romance ❤️]

Yayyyy happy days <3

[Kim]

I'm so excited to see that some of you have started. I brought my battered old paperback copy to work with me today ... I'll be keeping an eye on all your posts ... feel free to add your spoilers whenever, I will read them all!!!! <333

[Kim]

It's HUGE!!! but it's my fave <3

[Kim]

The one thing I love about this book are the little pieces of inspiration and hope, written throughout ... the descriptive speaks volumes ...
For example: from page 8 (view spoiler)[Tatiana knew there would be only an instant, a brief flicker of time that bathed her with the possibilities of the day. In a moment it would all be gone. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

I might start today! We will see

[~♡AB♡~]

I don't think I have time to read it #cries#

Enjoy ladies, I'll see what I can do and try and join in but I'm not counting on it.

we're all slow enough ... maybe you'll be able to join in later

[Laura]

I'm going to start tonight, I got a paper copy from the library so I'll post comments with both page numbers and an estimated percent hopefully that works out....I do also have a request in for the electronic copy but I didn't want to wait for that!

I've got both Laura ... so I can also reference the % by page number for you :)
Can't wait to hear your thoughts

[Rachel]

My current book ended on a cliffhanger so I have to read the next one! Will start BH either tomorrow or Sunday.

Is this when she decides to [spoilers removed]? I was upset too while reading, but then later ..."

YES! At the start of this I was like what is she 12? Fortunately she's growing on me...

Already found a quote to love because this is soooooo me! p49 ~7.6% (view spoiler)["There were other things,too, to ask him. Always she tries to be less forward. Always she tried to find the right thing to say and didn't trust the etiquette pendulum swinging in her head, so she simply said nothing, which was perceived either as painful shyness of haughtiness. Dasha never had that problem. She just said the first thing that came into her head. Tatiana knew she needed to rust her inner voice more. It was certainly loud enough." (hide spoiler)]

I'm on page 62 ~9%ish and eager to read more!

Also, I'm a vodka drinker so I'm already feeling that these are my people

[Rachel]

@3% and Tatiana kind of annoys me. Just a little bit.

[Rachel]

@5%.

If I met the love of my life eating ice cream he would run away because I would look like this

[Kim]

I bought vodka today.
Just sayin'

[Rachel]

I'm not really feeling this book right now guys. I think I am going to pick it up later when I am more in the mood. I'm sorry!

[Katy Loves Romance ❤️]

Oh no Rachel.... :((( I'm so sorry I haven't got much reading done this weekend as work was manic... So I'm reading my two ARC's first, I'll jump in at the end of the week for anyone who is still here LOL Xo

Good point, this might work with some of my arcs lol

[Kim]

I'm sad that it's not working for some of you :(. But completely understand. It isn't the easiest read in the world.

Elizabeth, I'm still here with you!

I would say that each part would make sense if you needed a break. They do all take on a slightly different tone. But I would think it loses momentum with too much of a break.

Thanks! I'm enjoying too much to stop now. [spoilers removed]"

I know exactly what you mean! (view spoiler)[I hated Dimitri so much. (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

I'm still reading as well, life has just been busy for me. I'm around 12% now. I'm going to read more tonight instead of going to the gym, or cleaning....priorities lol

I think you have your priorities completely straight!
What do you think of it so far?

I was a little uncertain on if I would like Tatiana at first, she annoyed me a bit, then I realized she is somewhat similar to me (now the annoying part makes sense lol) so I'm into it. I'm already wondering if there is some foreshadowing... Also, I love when a novel can make you feel the tension between a couple when they haven't even touched yet....

Elizabeth ☆❀Hot for Alphas❀☆ wrote: "@13% - [spoilers removed]

UGH At first I felt bad for him chasing something he couldn't have but not after that

[Kim]

WOW, Elizabeth! You're flying through this book!
I've been completely off track ... I'm sorry. I like you're gif ... I was the same for that part of the book (view spoiler)[I felt super guilty for eating, but also started to feel like I should eat whenever I could, just in case. (hide spoiler)]

Also - we've had snow for the last 3 weeks. You can have it if you really want it ;)

Mollie, it was't actually totally my idea ... but I had no problem jumping on board with it. You know how much I love it!

Shura!!!! any straight woman who hasn't met him yet are missing out ;)

[Laura]

I've still been reading just haven't been able to get on here to comment (buddy read fail-sorry!) I'm on part 3 now, super busy weekend so probably won't be able to get much further for awhile.

No worries Laura! Sometimes it's nice just to know others are out there reading the same book ;)
Hope you're loving it!

[Laura]
