Hi Stacie

- definitely NOT sweet... I keep meaning to read this series but keep forgetting about it!

Hope you enjoy some of these!!!

It did for me to give you some!! I couldn't get any of the books you recommended from week 1 from the library so the Lorelai James one is on the way from Thriftbooks.

Recommendations for LaurLa for Artist/Dancer/Musician romance

by Ilsa Madden-Mills So this is number 2 in the series but I don't think you miss much if you skip #1. #1 was good, #2 and #3 were awesome (imo).

by Suanne Laqueur I kind of devoured this series. So so good.

by Elizabeth Hunter I flew through this one. I picked it up because I needed a green cover for a challenge and ended up really liking it.

Week 2 - Picks for Grace (Western romance)

1.
This trilogy is set in Texas and follows the romances of 3 brothers. I like the closeness of the brothers and their obvious love for each other and for the home they grew up in.

2.
Cute story, also set in Texas, and revolving around the lost recipe for moonshine that both main characters are searching for.

3.
Good start to a popular romance series, although I haven't read past this first book. Based in Wyoming.

4.
I had to include this one, another Texas book, because I enjoyed this whole 4-book series very much. The main characters are 3 sisters and their best friend.

[Grace]

Hi Connie! Thanks for the picks. I'm not sure which one I'll go with yet. I'll have your picks up by tonight. I decided on What the Duke Desires for week 1 and really enjoyed. It was a cute story and it wasn't just your typical historical. Thanks for the push to read it!

[Grace]

Week 2 Picks for Connie

1.
This is a NASCAR racing story with a single mom and a younger race car driver (it's really only 6 years which is not much).

2.
I haven't read this series yet, but I have read other books by Lori Foster and enjoyed them. Usually she writes light hearted and funny books.

3.
An MMA fighter book. This series is one of my favorite series. It's more of a dramatic story and I cried reading all three of the books.

4.
Mari Carr is another one of my favorite authors...she writes really sweet stories. This series is written with two other authors and I'm really enjoying it.

[Connie N.]

Thanks, Grace, for your suggestions. I've ordered Flat-Out Sexy from the library.

Recommedations for Stacie for Roadtrip Romance


-- I know you aren't a big HF fan, but you might like this one.

-- not a lot of travel, but there is some travel between the 'haunted' house and the city where the MCs live.

-- I like this author a lot. This is less quirky than I expected and more RS so it took me a bit to switch expectations in my head. Once I did, I really enjoyed it.

I had to stop myself from grabbing rockstars-on-the-road books as recs for this because I'd be using up my musician recs for when (if) you roll for that!

Happy Reading!!

Thanks for recs! I requested The Genius and the Muse from that special place we both know ;-)

For last week I read One Hit Wonder instead of a rec because, well, it fit perfectly, I had to read it for another challenge and I had it. But I did add the Tessa Bailey to my TBR!

[Connie N.]

I'll work on your picks this afternoon. I rolled a 5, sports romance.

[Connie N.]

Week 3 - Picks for Grace (Sports Romance)

- Based around small-town football set in Alabama (although the romance is about the coach, not YA or NA). Warm and friendly.

- So far I've enjoyed all of Rose's baseball romances. And get a load of that cover!

- A Kindle freebie that turned out to be a winner. A bit of a mystical feel to it. All about revisiting past football triumphs.

- I haven't actually read this particular book, but I've read 2, 3, and 4 from this series and have enjoyed them. Light and enjoyable hockey romance series.

[Katherine]

Okay, I rolled a 2 (Artist/Dancer/Musician Romance)

So I decided to go with Bring on the Heat...the cover may have had something to do with that decision ;)

Connie's Picks for Week 3~Humorous

-This was one of the first romance books I read and it is just so sweet. It's the equivalent of looking at cute puppies and leaves you with an awww feeling inside

-This is an opposites attract story about a treehouse builder and big city girl. I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this book.

-Meg Cabot is one of my favorite authors. I absolutely love this series.

-Kristen Ashley is really hit and miss for me. I either love the book or hate it, but this is my hands down favorite book I have read by her. It's the third in the series, but reading order doesn't really matter and I have to admit I hated the first two books in the series. But this one is funny in one moment and heartbreaking in another. It really is a great intro to Kristen Ashley.

-This is a perfect balance of romance and action and one of my hands down favorite series. Cat and Bones are one of my favorite couples I ever read about.

I will try this book

[LaurLa]

Stacie!! I haven't forgotten you. Tomorrow (Sunday) for sure!

[LaurLa]

For you dearest Stacie! I love sport romances... so this was the easiest set yet to pick. We have similar tastes but you are a much harder rater than I am, so I hope you enjoy one of these ;-P


Hockey: Delayed Penalty - Shey Stahl -- there has been some question about plagerism surrounding this book. I don't know if it's true. I haven't purchased any other books since I read about it but I already had this one and needed it for a challenge awhile back so I read it. It IS a good story just don't know if it's hers. In case that bothers you, I included another Hockey choice :-)



Hockey: Body Check - Deirdre Martin -- this series is getting a little dated now but I know I enjoyed it when I first came across it 5 or 6 years ago.


Horse Racing: Jockeys and Jewels -- a different take on sports romance. This is also romantic suspense. I just recently read it and especially enjoyed the detail around the sport.



Baseball: Hot Stuff -- another getting to be dated series. I enjoyed it. It is somewhat category romance...but I like Carly Phillips so enjoyed it for what it was.

Thanks, Grace. I've been in a paranormal mood lately, so I will probably give Halfway to the Grave a try.
