Once again, I've made no progress with this challenge. I'm going to cross this one off my list. Thanks for the great challenge. I just haven't been able to get motivated.

[JoAnne]

Welcome Connie!

I think that maybe the key - to choose after you read one. I believe that Readers Also Enjoyed changes all the time.....

OHHHH guess what I saw on Love Irresistibly - All He Ever Desired by Shannon Stacey !

[Connie N.]

JoAnne wrote: "OHHHH guess what I saw on Love Irresistibly - All He Ever Desired by Shannon Stacey !"

I know! This time I checked the Readers Also Enjoyed section before choosing the first book, to be sure I could find something I was interested in reading.

[JoAnne]

Ok, I'm gonna try this.

[JoAnne]

Welcome Karen!! Ohhh, Wicked Lust!! My favorite character of that series is Bridger. But I did not like his story as much - it's the last one, I think.

[Connie N.]

I'm still working on Sawyer Bennett's Cold Fury Hockey series. How does Wicked Horse compare?

[JoAnne]

Connie N. wrote: "I'm still working on Sawyer Bennett's Cold Fury Hockey series. How does Wicked Horse compare?"

Wicked Horse is BDSM. It takes place at a sex club, mostly. And there's a spin off series from it but I can't remember the name right now....

[JoAnne]

It's Wicked Horse Las Vegas -

[Connie N.]

And how do you like them?

[JoAnne]

Connie N. wrote: "And how do you like them?"

I liked them. I like how she writes the characters.

[Connie N.]

Sounds good. I'll finish up Cold Fury Hockey first, then I'll take a look at those.

[Karen ♐]

I haven’t read her hockey series yet but I’m loving wicked horse.

[JoAnne]

I like the hockey series. I just looked Bennett up and I've read almost everything she's written! I liked the Last Call series too. Takes place around a bar.

[Karen ♐]

I’ve just started reading her books lately. Just finished which I really loved.

[JoAnne]

Karen ♐ wrote: "I’ve just started reading her books lately. Just finished which I really loved."

Yeah, I liked those too. Bennett is just as good as Nicole Edwards.

[Karen ♐]

JoAnne wrote: "Karen ♐ wrote: "I’ve just started reading her books lately. Just finished which I really loved."

Yeah, I liked those too. Bennett is just as good ..."

She definitely is. I’m really enjoying her books.

[Brianna]

I'm planning on signing up for this, but I'm having such a hard time picking starting books! Maybe I'll finish one in a couple days and go from there. lol

[JoAnne]

Brianna wrote: "I'm planning on signing up for this, but I'm having such a hard time picking starting books! Maybe I'll finish one in a couple days and go from there. lol"

I'll link you when you find one! You don't have to pick all of the books at the beginning. You can pick as you go along....

[Connie N.]

JoAnne wrote: "I like the hockey series. I just looked Bennett up and I've read almost everything she's written! I liked the Last Call series too. Takes place around a bar."

That sounds promising. Always good things happening in bars. (Hmm, that didn't come out right.)

[Connie N.]

JoAnne wrote: "Karen ♐ wrote: "I’ve just started reading her books lately. Just finished which I really loved."

Thanks for the link, Karen. I have a couple of Nicole's books on my TBR but haven't read any yet. I'll have to move them up my list.

[Connie N.]

Brianna wrote: "I'm planning on signing up for this, but I'm having such a hard time picking starting books! Maybe I'll finish one in a couple days and go from there. lol"

I've learned that the secret is to pick a book that's in a general genre that you read a lot. That way you'll have lots of books to choose from that you really want to read.

[Claire]

Thanks for the tip, JoAnne.

I had The Ice Twins from the library but I had to return it before I got to read it. Did you like it?

[Claire]

JoAnne wrote: "I had The Ice Twins from the library but I had to return it before I got to read it. Did you like it?"

I liked it a lot, but I felt so annoyed by the parents. Like when you watch a movie and want to scream the whole time to the actors because they act stupid:-)
