I'm confused. It's Monday morning you have to be gentle with me. What clue are we talking about? Because right now I'm feeling really clueless...uummm...maybe you need to pass over one of those martinis?...please? (just so you know I am whining...I really need more coffee or one of those martinis...just sayin')

Unless the clue pertains to Sweet Scents (Sweet Briar Farm #2) by Hollis Shiloh because I think I totally got that one...bunnies and all.

It'll open up a small window in the search box enter the name of the book you're looking for and click on the word search it'll bring up all books with that title if there are a lot just add the authors name behind the title in the search box and click on the word search again that will remove all the books you don't want. At the bottom of the window you'll see the word add: and then it says 'link' and 'cover' with a small circle in front of each word. Click on the circle in front of the word cover the click on the word add beside the picture of the book you want and your done.

I might be really partial to their Unbreakable Bonds series...*cough, cough...buddy read...Josy, Christelle* we're anxiously awaiting the next book Devour (Sadly no cover yet) It's Ian's story and everybody loves Ian!!!

Hi Lila,
my favourite out of that series so far is probably book 2 (Shiver) Thoroughly enjoyed the other ones as well, though! :)

You like Lucas and Andrei? I'm totally a fan of Snow and Jude, but I cannot lie my favorite book so far was the one that I least expected it to be and that was 'Torch'.

Psst, Adriana, book 2 was Shatter, so does this mean you're a Snow and Jude fan? *fist bump*

Like Karen, I enjoyed the third book Torch (Unbreakable Bonds #3) by Jocelynn Drake the most and I totally didn't expect it to be that way. While reading, you just have to remember that's an ongoing series. After each book, some questions will remain unanswered and yes, I'm dying to read the last one! Ian is so lovable :)

Thank you, Karen. Of course it is! :) I like Lucas and Andrei, I do, but their relationship was still very much in the making at the end of book 1. I admit to a very soft spot for medics of any kind, so that's where Snow and Jude fit in perfectly. And I always like when one completely unapproachable MC gets 'worn down' by a really nice guy!
