For a female author to write from a 16/17 teenage boys POV, I thought it was really well done"

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it in the end! I really liked the whole series, in fact the second was even better than the first. =)

Hi Karen H,
I finished my second pick for the month and it was so great that I have already recommended for someone else: The Cowboy's Mail Order Bride.

Although I didn't get a lot read this month, I am keeping my list so I can continue reading them. Thanks for the excellent picks!

Elke,

Finished 5 Star read I love this series. I'm still hoping to get to before the end of the month.

☘KathyD☘,

I listened to and liked it a lot. Tried to listen to but didn't really work in audio so I'll try reading it.

I just finished Blood Hunger and loved it. It's been sitting neglected on my TBR list for a while so thank you for giving me a little nudge!"

Did you finish any other books this month Aminko?

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy Angels' Blood in audio...I hope you can enjoy the book in its traditional format! Glad you enjoyed Shadow of Night...that whole series blew me away...it was really well done!

I agree I'm glad I already have the third book! Angel's Blood in audio requires your full attention which I just can't do, I like to multitask

I'm also planning to read some of the others. Also, thanks for recommending me Out of Time, it's truly new to me and if May wasn't such a short month I would definitely read it, it caught my eye.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I'm so glad you enjoyed you picks fleurette!! And I hope you enjoy Out of Time too - I really did when I read it. The other books weren't out then and I haven't ever gone back to them, but maybe someday...

Hi Stacie, I'm terrible with updates during the month for this challenge - but I did lots of reading! I did sort of fail at paying attention and read two of the picks in April before May started.

A New Hope by Robyn Carr 4.29.16 - So sweet!

Haunted in Death by J.D. Robb 4.30.16 - Short and simple, but I love these books!

I was able to use the series rule for one of them, but you had picked the next In Death book too, either way I read it!

Big Bad Beast by Shelly Laurenston 5.4.16 - Loving this series in audio, so fun!

The Heiress Effect by Courtney Milan 5.6.16 - Slow to start, but then I really got into it and enjoyed!

Sustained by Emma Chase 5.17.16 - I really enjoyed this one, loved the MCs, unlike the first one! The audio was good too!

Red Zone by Mari Carr 5.18.16 - I always enjoy Mari Carr's books!

Wildest Dreams by Robyn Carr (series rule) 5.20.16 - Lovely story, great characters!

Into Deep Waters by Kaje Harper 5.20.16 - SOOOO good! Loved this!! And the audio was awesome too!! (Yes, it deserved all those exclamation points!)

Born in Death by J.D. Robb 5.30.16 - A really good In Death installment!

Ride Hard by Laura Kaye 5.31.16 - Loved this one too!!

Thanks for the GREAT picks! I'm anxious to start on June!

[Gabriella]

Hey, Pam!
I'm awful with updates and I didn't have much time to read this month, but I'm in the last pages of Divided in Death by J. D. Robb, and it's awesomesauce. I'll be reading some of the others too as soon as I have some time. Thanks for the great picks!
