Malina Skrobosinski I don't know any of your books or authors so I chose what I thought looked interesting
and
and I really enjoyed
Debbie wrote: "Malina Skrobosinski I don't know any of your books or authors so I chose what I thought looked interesting

is so good.
GreenFairy, for you I'm choosing authors I've enjoyed:
Bonus:
- I read this one a long time ago but liked it and continued with the series. I remember it as a fighter romance.
- I just finished this one, which is definitely erotica, although it was different--lyrical, I guess, which elevated it a bit.

Thank you, Chelle! I'm looking forward to reading your picks, however I already read the bonus
and loved it! I read the first three books in that series. In line with your choice I could instead read
or
from that same author, or something else if you have another suggestion for me?

I see that the other participants are suggesting two bonus books. Do you want me to add another one for you? I admit that angsty romance is not really my thing but I can come up with something if you want. That won't be a problem :)
