Yee haw! This one should be easy. Me too! Will have to pick book later.
Oh yeah - I'm definitely in for this one!!!
Ooooo dark romance! I'm definitely in. I'll be curious to see what everyone reads for this challenge!

This is super hard for me. I am notoriously picky as it is with my preferred genre of straight up CR... suspense/dark/thriller is not my thang which makes me even more persnickety. *sighs* First world problems!!!Anyway, I am *trying* Ruthless King
. The start is slow go. Fingers crossed I grow to like it.
Good luck, Leslie! I just realized it's October 1--I need to get my PFM shelf sorted and get my dark book picked.
Good luck Leslie - I read that one a little while back - it was a slow start for me too but I ended up liking it.

Finished Ruthless King
The only reason I was able to get through it was that it had great narration and was only 5.5 hrs. The story was very slow with way too much sex that wasn't sexy. The only exciting thing that happened was the cliffy in last few sentences. 2**
I have loved some of Ms. March's books, but this one is not for me.
Another one off the TBR.
That sucks, Leslie! But at least it was short.I'm going to read Kitty Thomas. I'm pretty sure I read
Comfort Food and never rated it. So I'm going to check it first, and if I've already read it, I'll go with
.Grey, I'll let you know when I figure out for sure.
I'm a little behind guys. My Aunt Emma passed yesterday, 2 days short of her 95th birthday (Auntie Em). I think I'll do Comfort Food for this one. I've had the book for years!

So sorry, Jean. Bless her heart--she lived a long life.I've also had Comfort Food for years. I have the pb around here somewhere, which is why I think I may have already read it. But I've read a bunch of her other books too, so I'm not sure.
Hugs to you Jean... so sorry for the loss to you and your family.
Hugs Jean!Warning! If you love chicken soup you may want to stay clear of Comfort Soup....just a friendly warning. I could never get into this author's books, like any of them!
Finally picked a book. I think, based on the first series, it'll be dark.
So I'm looking through Maryse's lists there are several under IN THE MOOD FOR SOMETHING DARK?:http://www.maryse.net/books/book-reco...
I think I might take a stab at Break Her by B.G. Harlen
Can't wait to read your thoughts as you read this. It looks crazy!!
So far it's quite intriguing! You should join me because Comfort Food is just not for you....I just know it....I have this one review full of spoilers.
i just finished
and now I'm reading
. Comfort food was a quick read and I give it 4 stars!
Stephanie! I need you to pick a book for me on the other challenge thread!

Well, well, well...
was definitely a dark read. 3.5 stars for me that I rounded up to 4. I think my only problem with the story was that it leaned heavily on the psychology aspect and was a bit too cerebral for me. But, I still very much enjoyed the dark deliciousness...and I'm totally enraptured with Grayson. It had quite a few little twist, turns and reveals. And did I mention Grayson??? I heart a serial killer!!
Oooh Lisa, I liked a serial killer too! Despite me typically not reading dark ones, this duet was a good mindf@ck.

Jean wrote: "Stephanie! I need you to pick a book for me on the other challenge thread!"I did sign up! I'm SO SORRY Jean!!! I see Grey chose something for you though.
SO SO SORRY!!!
Hahaha! It's okay Stephanie!Just starting my pick from Grey today!
I ended up going with Sidetracked
and gave it 5 stars!It's a series of 5 novellas (around 120 pages each) that are dark romantic suspense. I've read the first 3 and love them so far. I just needed a break, but I'm going back to them next week.
Ended up reading Doll House for this challenge.....didn't expect it to be dark, but it was in the beginning and definite thriller! Loved it! 5 stars!
