I read somewhere that she said the series will be over when Illium's story is told. But she is writing it for 2019, right?

I wonder if that means no book for Aodhan?
I checked her website & it says that she's contracted to do one more book ~ 2019. No mention of title, MCs or exactly when its due. I assume she'll either do a joint book or more books. Hopefully more! Especially as AP has a cliffhanger.
I guess I shouldn't assume, but I thought all the Seven would get their own story. I really want to find out what happened to Aodhan. With him "coming back" hopefully he will find love in the Refuge. I would love to have at least one scene with him with his nephew.

This has been on my TBR list for a long time. After reading it I don’t know why I waited so long to read it. I really loved Janie spouting off whatever is on her mind when she gets nervous or flustered. I liked the growth Janie throughout the story. In some ways she was very awkward since she had to force herself to interact with people so she wouldn’t become a hermit. She would be happier staying home reading instead of being at a party. With Quinn, she eventually realized that she could be herself with all of her quirkiness and let herself open her heart to real love instead of settling.

Review: I've heard good things about this one, and most of them turned out to be true. I enjoyed the weirdness of the heroine, and the H was great in his reactions to her. I liked their banter, and the way then muddled through things. At times, I would have liked a little more information on what the H was thinking, as some of his actions didn't make much sense to me. I like the knitting circle, and will continue with the series at some point, but probably won't go out and read them urgently.

Review
This was the first in the Eternal Mates series which features Loren and Olivia. This was a good start to the series although it did feel that elements of the plot had been taken from other series, along the same vein. The author however has weaved subtle differences through the story to build a different world. Not sure whether I will continue with this series, I may read the next one to see if things improve.

As I get further in the series, the more I like it. Elise loss her husband five years and recently lost her son from going rogue because of Crimson. Her only goal is to get the drug off the street and to find who is behind the operation. I love how Elise didn’t curl into herself after her son died. She took all of that anger and focused it and became very adept with killing minions. Regardless of how much Teagan wanted to protect her, she proved that she could handle herself and help solve the mystery of deciphering the package that she was able to intercept from a minion. I do like the continuing story line as it has developed. There has only been talk about the ancients and now it looks like one will be showing up soon and it will be interesting to see what happens.

Rating & Review: ★★
I get it. You can have physical love and spiritual love. You can love God and love a woman. But the way this book went about it was disrespectful, selfish and thoughtless.
People put great trust in their spiritual leaders and Tyler betrayed that trust. In addition, I felt like Poppy was such a predator that her actions were disturbing. I didn’t care that she (view spoiler)
This author favors numerous sexy scenes over development of characters and plot. While I enjoyed their intimate times, I didn’t like them as characters and this kept me from connecting with their love. There was a good message hidden behind all that grunting and groaning by Tyler and Poppy.
Rating added to Dragon review. Will have both outstanding reviews up this evening
I downloaded Priest earlier this year for a group spell-out challenge and never got around to it. I was hoping it would be something similar to A Little Too Far as far as the character questioning if he should take vows and how he can still serve the Church without being a priest.
I'll be a bit late with my Warrior book. Should have it done sometime this weekend.
Not quite sure what I am going to read for part of series. I am mad at myself for starting Shades of Wicked earlier today since it would have worked great for this week.

by the same author and it was porn with little to no real plot. The Unit has this thing she does where she gives you crumbs until the last two hours of the audiobook where she begins to reveal what she has been hinting at. It was always anticlimactic to me.but the characters are so underwhelmingly

I love this series and it keeps getting better. Kate and Curran are finally getting married but not without complications. There is so much goes on in this book from Kate struggling to come to terms with her power and its potential to the love/hate relationship she has with her father. The most surreal part was the talking sword which is also her aunt. A great series that I hope continues to build.

Review
This is a book I've been meaning to read for quite some time and I can't believe I left it so long. As the title suggests this tells the story of Iam and Trez in the lead up to Trez being called into service as the anointed one. This was a very fast paced book that also was highly emotional. It was good to see a side to characters that have been in "the shadows" in previous books. The one thing I love about this series is the side stories of other characters which are opening up for their story to be told. I can't wait to read the next one to see what happens next.

It appears Ethan’s sire has come back to life and causing problems for him and Merit. In addition to dealing with Balthazar, the Circle is upping his demands on what Navar House needs to do in order to pay back all the money Selena borrowed from them. As the story unfolds, it is apparent that Ethan’s sire is working with the Circle, and that he really isn’t Balthazar. It appears they now know who is in charge of the Circle even though he hasn’t come out and said it. Curious if the person they believe is in charge really is.
I have really enjoyed this series and a bit sad that there are only two books in series to get things wrapped up with Ethan and Merit to get married and if not have a child at least get pregnant. It would really suck if the author only teased about a prophesy without it coming about before the end of the series.

Rating & Review: ❤️❤️❤️½
This audiobook was a romantic comedy set in the Ton.
Widower Duchess Harriet Berrow is still coming to grip with her husband’s suicide over his failure as a chess gamer when she decides to aid her friend, another Duchess, in a plan to lure her husband back to London.
The plan involved Harriet dressing up as man named Harry Cope and accompanying her friends to reside at Lord Jem Strange’s estate.
Part of the amusing part of this story was trying to pull off the ruse as well as the inner musings of Lord Jem who found himself attracted to “Lord Cope”. I chuckled often and I enjoyed the personal growth of Jem and Harriet. It made me think of transgendered people in the Ton and the sheer terror it would have been for them. This story wasn’t about that but I thought about it anyway.
Harriet and Jem fit because they challenged each other mentally, academically and they were physically attracted to each other.
It was a fun story
Team, The Shelf: Part of a series AND Warriors give us 4 in a row in two different spots. We could possibly be in a position to get Bingo today
