Pam (whitewitch1905) | 842 comments This entire series is mistitled and/or misnumbered. The correct series titles and numbers in the series (per the author's website) should be:

Breathe for Me (Be for Me: Xander, #1) Goodreads URL: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...)

Beg for Me (Be for Me: Logan, #2) (Goodreads URL: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...)

Bared for Me (Be for Me: Rocco, #3) (Goodreads URL: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...)

Bound For Me (Be for Me: Connor, #4) (Goodreads URL: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...)

Blaze for Me (Be for Me: Austin, #5) (Goodreads URL: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...)

Broken for Me (Be for Me: Hunter, #6) (Goodreads URL: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...)

Could you please make these changes. The last two aren't even included in the Be for Me series.

Thank you.

Lieke | 4925 comments I added book 6 to the series, but I'm not sure this is a series.
Do the books have any characters and/or universes in common?

I'm also not sure about the numbering Goodreads has different rules about series numbering, and some of the books have a novella length but I'm not sure what the maximum page length for a novella is.

Pam (whitewitch1905) | 842 comments I'm honestly not sure what GR considers to be a universe? There books are essentially standalones, although some of the major characters (in say, book 1) will have slight supporting character roles in subsequent books. They don't take place in the exact same location (like the same town or a club). So I'm not sure how it would be characterized by GR. I know the author lists them on her website as a series, but she also emphasizes that you don't need to read them in order. That, in and of itself, doesn't really mean a lot. As an example, Tymber Dalton's Suncoast Society books (over 80 books) are advertised as standalones. There are a number of recurring characters from book to book (even from the earliest book to the most current book). So that confuses me. There's them with Ms. Dalton's books (BDSM) that might be considered a universe, but again, I'm not sure. I've only read the first two books in this series so I honestly don't know the answer to your universe question. I hope I'm not being even more confusing. I do appreciate your help. Happy Thanksgiving!

Shared characters do constitute a series.


This is not possible:
Breathe for Me (Be for Me: Xander, #1)

However, this could be done:
Breathe for Me: Xander (Be for Me, #1)


The books shorter than 100 pages should definitely be numbered with decimals. The 130+ page one is on the edge, but is ok with a whole number.

@ Rivka: So book 3 has 119/129 pages and should be 2.5? Or could I leave it as a whole number?
For the current book 4 one edition has only 91 pages, but another has 203 pages, so I will leave that a whole number.
Book 5 only has 78 pages so I will make it a decimal number.
Book 6 has 132 pages so I will leave that a whole number too.

So the only change I would do according to the rules is for the current book 5.


The names are not on the covers and not in the records, they where only mentioned in the first post.

That seems reasonable.

Ah. Then no need to add them.
