I finished Wrong Number, Right Guy this month but forgot to post it. I liked it enough to put the next one on the TBR and was happy to see my prediction about bringing the sister in worked. Don't think I'll get to another one this month but thanks for giving me a new series, new author!

hi diane ~firefly~

i only managed to finish one book this month, as life kind of got in the way of my reading. i am currently reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but i'm not sure when i will finish it. i finished The Deal and i enjoyed it. i thought it was cute and entertaining. i liked both the characters and the story.

Hi Susan A!

August turned into a completely crazy month for me, and I ended up only getting through one of your picks: Worth the Fight, which I really enjoyed! I'm also almost done with Full Coverage, but didn't quite manage to finish by the end of the month. I have several more that I intended to get to in August but couldn't, so they're definitely on my short list for September.

Thanks for the great picks!

HI Tina Theresa - I meant to get back to you earlier!

I finished 3 of your recommendations :)

Undercover Boyfriend - 4 stars. A solid contribution to this line that I really enjoyed. Geeky comic book artist Marty grows up to meet the challenges the world when he meets the hunky FBI agent Luke.

The Tin Box - 5 stars. Wow - what a tear-jerker! But I loved it. There is so much depth and growth in this book, set in front of a tragic background. Clearly the author did some detailed research into mental institutions, methods used to 'cure' patients and particularly the practices upon homosexuals through to recent days.

The front couple (MCs) had their own journey, bringing out the best in both men.

Highly recommend!

How to Walk Like a Man - 5 stars. I loved this book. I love the way Easton works the traits of dogs into the everyday life of their shifter-beings. Its so cute and so clever! The MCs connection and this storyline are just delightful.

...Off to get the next in the series :D

Thanks!! Great selection :)
