2016-October/November/December- What Are You Reading?
I'm finally reading Slave to Sensation
by Nalini Singh and loving it! I don't know why I kept putting this one off.
Recently finished Childish Games, absolutely loved it. now I'm currently on Rule. Lets see if i enjoy this series
I just read The Lucky Hat Mine by J V L Bell. It is a great book, it made me write the first ever review in my life! I hope you find it helpful.
2016 October:
Hello everyone i just finished reading
i'd love if anyone could recommend me a steamy and funny romance novel, i want to laugh and be intrigued about the couple's love story :)
Finishing both
and
and enjoying them both. Hoping to get to
!
I'm reading a lot at the moment...These are all currently reading:
Iv became hooked to a particular set of books within romance. Romance/paranormal/fantasy/adventure
Almost every book Iv read with this kind of set up has almost always been 4+ stars for me. Some worthy examples being :
•Angelfall series by Susan Ee
• Slumber (The Fade) by Samantha Young
• Touch of Power (Avery of Kazan) by Maria V Snyder
• Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
• Acid by Emma Pass (less romance)
All these books have a mix between romance and dystopian/fantasy.
Powerful heroines who grow as the story progresses, stronger even beyond the expectations that everyone had for them.
Heroines who even though may have moments of 'damsel in distress' they grow backbones and end up becoming just as much as a protector for the men in the books.
Each book has lots of adventure, which I like a lot !! Also very common medieval themes. Not in all though ! (Angelfall/Acid/Under the never sky)
A true, deeply ingrained love. One that blossoms through shared moments, witty banter and deep discussions.
For me, there's something so real about falling in love with a person whom you face life or death situations with.
Each one of these books made me laugh, cry and swoon. They had hilarious banter between the hero and heroine and most of all NO insta lust. In fact most of these books start on a slightly negative vibe for our heroes. It's fun to watch their relationships grow.
Fun, quirky and loveable secondary characters ( especially in touch of power !) so much so that you're just as much invested in them as you are in the main characters.
If anyone has any book suggestions for me that are similar to those I mentioned id be grateful. I can't seem to find any similar to my likes.
