Lucky you. It bothers me because it makes it difficult to read, especially when you are tired. Some sentences I have to read twice. I don't know if it's slang or just 'cool' when there's an a' instead of 'of'.

LOL!! I really like guy #1 :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to give us some nice visuals :)
I don't have a clear image of the MCs yet but I hope that will change soon! I like that Colin seems to be on the nerdy side :)

To be honest, I rarely notice. Usually, I skip over something like that, lol! I'm sorry it makes it harder for you, though!

I was so proud when I finished Zero at the Bone with no problem because a lot of reviews complained it was so hard to read because of that :-) Bad spelling or missed words are harder for me :-(

I was actually looking for a pic that would grab my attention and say 'This is Hernan' but instead I got these...not Hernan but still not hard on the eyes.

Well, I gave it 5 stars *lol*, although you are right, it's not easy to read. I think it's just that I'm tired, that it bothers me more tonight, so don't mind me. ;-)

LOL!! Is it bad of me that I don't mind that we haven't found Hernán yet? Nope, I don't mind at all, lol!

LOL! I listened to his one so I didn't notice but yes, for some reason I focus more on missed words than slang.

No but it's bad for me that I keep looking, I'm definitely going to fall behind :/

I will wait for you but I don't think you are that far behind yet. I'm in the middle of chapter 4 :)

Hi there ladies, you have been awfully busy and reading your comments about September I realize ... Holy .... I have no clue who is who (and that rhymes.... )

I always mind you, Simone <3

LOL Just read that recently and I had no idea what word it should have been. Argh. Very irritating!

Hi, Ariana!! Wow!! We are getting lots of stalkers, lol! I love it :)
LOL!! Don't feel bad :) I didn't either and I had to read up on them. Apart from Joe, I was lost. But a few glances into September and I remembered them :)


Ariana  (mostly offline) An official 'hi there' to you all. I haven't started yet as I got sidelined by Valor on the Move. I kind of raced through it and enjoyed it again, but now it is time for Asylum. :)

I know, right? When it happens more often, I can deal with it after a while, but to figure it out takes some time. ;-)

Josy I start to really like Colin!! And Hernán, too :) I hope it stays that way!!

Accidental rhymes are wonderful things ... My brain is kind of folding in on itself now. Still getting over Valor on the Move, but checking your comments with curiosity. :)

Thanks for the thumbs up, Josy. :) I will catch up tomorrow (and try to check on September)

HELLO Ariana !!!
Nice of you to stop by. And LOL : I've started rereading "Valor on the move" while my poor partners in crime are hard working and can't BR Asylum !!!

I'm sorry, but I think I'll stop when I'm finished with chapter 4... It makes no sense for me to keep reading when I have to go back every few sentences because I forgot what I just read. *facepalm*. It's not the book, though, just me. :(

I still have to read this one (or any Keira Andrews for that matter), but it was your second time already, right?

I do get the scrambled brain syndrome, too Simone. It will be better tomorrow! :)

Karen Josy, I just finished chapter 4 and am at the very beginning of Chapter 5 because...you know...5 comes after 4, right? Oh, I am braining well today. Anways, before we go any further ladies, I know it's 10 p.m. in your world and some of you have to work tomorrow so where shall we end for today and tomorrow I have to go out and get my INR done so I won't be able to start until around noonish, my time but if you all want to start sooner. I can read some extra and I'll catch up with you all at some point. Just let me know the plan and I'll follow it.

You had a working day, so no wonder it makes concentrating harder. I was about to start chapter 6, but I'm going to stop right now.
At what time would you be ready to start again tomorrow. 7.30PM (11.30 AM) again ?

Yes, it was and I liked it a lot, but maybe not as much as the first time round. But Keira Andrews is awesome. I loved Kick at the Darkness and Beyond the Sea (terrible cover, but loved the book) :)

Work is too exhausting at the moment, I'm afraid. :( I'll make sure to take a nap before we start tomorrow, so I'm hopefully fit by then. ;-)

Yes, that and the hot weather. It has come too quickly. I am totally dopey. :) Have a good rest, Simone! xx


Christelle Simone wrote: "I still have to read this one (or any Keira Andrews for that matter), but it was your second time already, right? "

It has just been a reread for Ariana and it's an on-going reread for me. Valor on the move was my 1st from Keira Andrews, so it's bittersweet for me :-)

As for me, I could start at round about 6 p.m. tomorrow, but I'm game if you want to start later. :)

Yes, it was the first one for me, too. One of my first ever m/m romances. Never forgotten, too :)

I wanted to do a BR with Anne for Beyond the Sea, but I had to cancel it when I got sick. :( One day soon, I'll read a book by her. :)

Yes, definitely too hot here. On Wednesday I had the headache from hell and I was fighting one again today. Thankfully it was gone in the afternoon. :)

EDIT: thank you, Ariana, you too. ;)

Yeap. I can feel you. And it will stay hot for the next few days, particularly Saturday.


Christelle OK, ladies. Some need to rest. So, we start all at chapter 5. As Karen has her morning appointment, is 7.30 PM (11.30 AM) OK for everybody ?

LOL. I even did a fifth one with Cut & Run. ;-) At least the first books... LOL.

Josy Sooo... lot's of comments and I'm sure I missed some.
Let's try to make this work. I can start at chapter 6 and around 6.30 PM tomorrow.
Karen, since you have to go out tomorrow at noon, I'm sure you could read a few chapters more today so that you will be near us when you come back. Just if you have the time, of course :)
How does this sound, everyone?

It's okay for me. I just have to get up early on Saturday because I'm meeting with some friends for breakfast, so I probably can't read until midnight or so *lol*. I hope that's okay for you?


Christelle Simone wrote: "LOL. I even did a fifth one with Cut & Run. ;-) At least the first books... LOL. "

I'm not sure I could do that...a fifth read I mean. After a second read, I remember so much of the read that, the few times I tried for a 3rd read, I got a bit bored :-(


Simone - on indefinite hiatus  - Okay, I'm done with chapter 4 and I'm off to bed now!

I'll read the rest of your comments tomorrow to see if we stick to 7.30 p.m. or not. :)

Josy, Christelle and Ariana, sleep well and sweet dreams. Karen and Anne, enjoy the rest of your day! Big hugs to all of you!!!! <3
