Goodreads tip: When setting up BR thread if you put book title where it says "this topic is about" it auto puts book cover/link. 🤓

I am guessing this is for: ?

[Grey]

28% gahhhhh! (view spoiler)[ She was so fucking sweet and warm, our first kiss was unreal: just a slide of my lips over hers, asking: Let me do this. Let me do this and be gentle and careful with every part of you. I kissed her a few times, full lips, careful kisses so she knew I'd take this as fucking slowly as she needed me to. (hide spoiler)]

[Grey]

56%(view spoiler)[All that is rare for the rare. (hide spoiler)] My heart!!!

[Grey]

where are you guys???? it is midnight here on the East Coast, I should totally be sleeping or reading an ARC, but NOPE... here I am, sucked right into the world of my Player and his Plum.

[Kooloo]

Hi Grey
I'm here - just got home from work an hour ago
I've already read the book BUT LURVED IT!!

[Grey]

Pffft, come on, Kooloo, be one of the cool kids like me and Jan, we're rereading. It's like a comfy pair of jammies. I've read this book, I don't even know how many times... Love it. but, I've gotta go to bed. I'm at 70 %...

[Nay]

I'm here! I'm at 50% and can't stop!

[Grey]

i know....it's everything!!! right?!?

[Nay]

Yes! I see! I see! lol

I don't know why I ever stopped this series.

[Melinda]

Oh Nay, it just gets better and better. I think it's better than 50 shades. 🙈🙊

Maybe!!

Thankyou Thankyou Grey for recommending.

Thankyou Jan for buying. Looved it. 10 stars.

[Melinda]

Thank god it's Sunday afternoon here.


Grey, you are going to go to bed and dream of Will. Your hubby might get a tap on the shoulder. 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Turns to run and hide. Hehehe

[Jan]

No maybe about it. It IS better than 50 shades! And yeah, this my third or fourth reread and it does feel like slipping into a comfy pair of jammies. I'm chillin' with my old friends. Actually I'm surprised how fresh and enjoyable it still is even after rereads. I'm loving their funny banter. And Will really is so damn sexy. Rawr!

[Melinda]

Here here Jan. Huge crush on Will right now.

If you didn't guess. 😁

[Jan]

Melinda if you haven't read Beautiful Stranger yet, it's really good too. Max (Will's business partner) and Sarah. Great book as well. God, that opening scene at the club. Hot hot hot!!!!

[Melinda]

Maybe Grey, wants to do a buddy read of that one next. That's why I had them on my list to read. I loved the first one too. Beautiful bastard.

[Grey]

Le sigh. Will.& Hanna are my faves. I must finish. I didn't quite get there last night. where is everyone at? I'm at 85% the shit-eth is hitting the fan...

[Paula]

Hmmm Sunday morning here - well just - nearly noon! I haven’t started yet and look at GR and you all are nearly finished!!

[Melinda]

I'm at 50% second read through. Just love that banter. Nearly time for us to go to bed.

[Grey]

gee, what a hardship to have to start again 😂 and I think Jean is going to read too!

[Melinda]

Paula, read it, read it. It's bloody fantastic. Aussie enthusiasm there.

[Melinda]

Grey you want to read Beautiful stranger too? I haven't read that either.

[Nay]

Paula--It's my first time reading it, so I'm just at 59%. You should be able to catch up with me in about and hour. lol

Shit just hit the fan. And I agree with you all about Will! But I've known guys like him and I can totally understand Hanna's reservations.

I've read #1 and #2. Were #4 and #5 any good? Or did they lose their luster?

[Paula]

Just started - hope it is better than #1!

[Paula]

18% - this conversation is funny! I am liking that she doesn’t have a filter!

[Grey]

IMHO, 3 is the best. 2 is really good. and 5, is really quite good as well. There are just so many fantastic quotable lines in this book... I FLOVE this book!!!

*Throws confetti to rival NYE celebration* it really is that good!!

[Nay]

Finished! You girls were SO right--this book was phenomenal! Now adding to my favorites, and I'll have to leave my actual review later because I'm moving on to Beautiful Beginning and Beautiful Beloved!

Do I need to read the Wild Seasons series to fully enjoy any of the rest of the books? I think I read that one or more of the characters is a crossover??

[Jan]

I never really got into the Wild Seasons books as much, Nay. I did read them all, but the characters weren't as interesting IMO. I also haven't loved their more recent books either :/ For me, they haven't bettered the Beautiful series.

Grey, exactly! I agree #3 is best, then #2, then #5 which is the final book, just called Beautiful. Jensen's story (Hanna's brother), and particularly enjoyable when you've read all of the others. I did like #4, about Max's brother, but he's a bit beta and it's not quite as good as the others. But I've read and liked the lot, novellas and all. One of the best CR series out there.

[Jan]

I'm loving that you're all loving this book as much as me. It's one of my favs. FINALLY I like a book everyone else likes. So often I'm a weird loner with my books LOL.

I'm at 31% and a bit surprised how much I'm enjoying it again. I thought I might be over it now, but no. It's still fun. And HOT! I've just read the scene at (view spoiler)[ the grad student party. Will's dread of the cheap soda and corn chips is funny and rings so true!! (hide spoiler)] OMG! That scene is HOT! *fans self* And Hanna is (view spoiler)[ going to go on a date with Dylan, cos he asked her. I get why she's mixed up and unsure of Will. I really do. But it still makes me gnash my teeth. Will was about to ask her back to his place! Damn! (hide spoiler)]

Must make some more time to read later today.

[Paula]

63% and enjoying it. Reading slowing down as Hawaii Five-0 on and love me some Steve McGarrett!!

[Nay]

Jan--the entire book is hot. These men are just hot!

I started reading Beautiful Beginning, but hell, I'm just going to go back and read Beautiful Bastard again. It was so long ago that I read it, and hearing Chloe talking about their history is making me HAVE to read it! lol
