You're mean!!
No, I just point you to all the good books, even if you end up crying.
Week 6: Revelations3 stars
I was hoping for more from this book, but I enjoyed it. Not too bad for an M/M/F, but there just wasn't enough content to make it really good for me. This is often a problem for me with this series. The books just aren't long enough to give me a complete story.

Week 6 Main character is a musician No ApologiesNo Apologies by Sybil Bartel

Main Singer Plays Bass in a Band
4 Stars
What can I say except that I absolutely loved this book. The story is mainly told from the male lead character point of view (Graham Allen). I really enjoyed following him through the novel - as must novels I read, its following the female lead. Allen is a rough around the edges type of male, who takes crap from no one and is notorious for his one night stands. That all changes when he meets Carly Sullivan.
I loved the dynamics between the two characters, Carly never taking the bull from Graham and how they didn't immediately fall in love. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride the characters took to find their journey to love. I really liked the pet name that Graham named Carly - "Hummingbird".
Overall, this book was a great read and I was glad that I was given the opportunity to review. Bartel does a great job of staying true to the characters and never sold them short of a great story.

Review:
Sarah, aka Mims is a famous romance author, her newest book is a western, so to make it authentic she signs up at a dude ranch for six weeks to do research. Little does she know that the owner is world famous
model and cover guy for her latest book. To make things worse they never hit it off too well on the day of the photo shoot.
Dream Kisses was an alright romance, nothing really jumped out to make it supper special but it was ok, I liked it.

You can do it, Shannon!

I've been trying to read it since the 1st...I can't get into at all! :/
I'm nearly done. Quick, easy read. Not a lot of sex though.
Oh man, the pressure's on. I really, really hope you like it, Katie!!
I've got to read it as well this week. It's a GB Book and a hunt book.

It was a sweet love story and I liked Jake and Brandon and their interactions with other school stuff and students. I found it quite tame, though, as there was no conflict. Moreover, I would have loved an epilogue!

This was a good continuation of the series. At times though I thought it was Sophie who wasn't good enough for Ruger...not the other way around. Noah, Sophie's son was such a sweetheart. And I'm sad that we never got to know the full meaning behind Ruger's name.
This book also set up the next book quite nicely, and I can not wait to see what's going to happen there.
But this had it all for me. Nice plot, great sex, sexy as hell bad boy, who even came with his own metal accessories (even one is a place that it seemed like he made the absolute best use of).
Anyway, I digress. I'm glad that things worked out in the end. And the epilogue was a perfect glimpse of Sophie and Ruger in the future. I"m sure glad she found a little spine.
OMG, fine! I'm starting my book now....again!! *mumbles about overachieving teammates* :p

What's taken to so long? Probably adding all those books to your tbr shelf. I saw them all, lots of bare chests and hunt cover points.

Week 7 Finished Finally!!
Cross & Crown ★★★The cross over between the Cut & Run series and this one is just confusing for me. At the end of the last Sidewinder book Nick and Kelly were being separated because the crew got called back for a mission and they hadn't had actual sex yet. THAT was what I was waiting for in this one. Except it happened in the last Cut & Run book and now we've skipped all the way to a long distance relationship and totally in love. And Julian Cross?!? What happened to the badass we loved? He was kind of useless in this book. Sad. And wtf happened to the treasure? We spent the whole book looking for it and....nothing! What?!? The only saving grace in this book was Kelly. I lurrrrrve Kelly. The snark was fun but overall, disappointing.
It's so peaceful over his in this thread. I'm going to hang here...the SH is driving me freaking nuts...thank you lawd that I do not have to answer some of those questions.

So, if I understood I should read Shock & Awe before Ball & Chain?
Yes. Shock & Awe ends with them going away. Ball & Chain is when they return.

Hopefully it won't be as crazy next month....hopefully. :D

Week 7: Slide3 stars
I liked it, but I didn't love it. The whole book read really slow for me. There wasn't a moment where I was just sucked into the book and I kept reading to try to find that moment. Overall it was a sweet story, though.
