Post-apocalyptic Western with werewolves?
Lisa Kay wrote: "Post-apocalyptic Western with werewolves?"Sounds crazy doesn't it? But, it really reads like small ranching town with a woman werewolf rancher. Wait, shouldn't the cows be afraid of her wolfiness?
i just finished
I gave it 4 stars because it was well written but plot moved too slow for my taste.

For you guys considering
read it NOW! It's still my favorite in this genre.

I finished
and gave it 3.5 stars. Not my favorite of the series but I haven't read any Cherise Sinclair's book that I didn't enjoy!
I've never read anything by that author, Elizabeth. Looks good.
I read
and gave it 3.5 stars. I will try to read
Oh, you've read her too, Ezi. Interesting.
Lisa Kay wrote: "Oh, you've read her too, Ezi. Interesting."oh yes. Cherise Sinclair is queen of these books. I love her Master of Mountain series. It's better than the Club Shadowlands, in my opinion
Something to remember. Thanks!
I got another read finished last night:Hitched. I rated it 2 stars and wrote a very lengthy review for it. The first book in the series, Roped, was much better.

I finished up the third in the Heart of the West series last night: Lassoed. I was very disappointed in it. It seemed way shorter than even the other two in the series, and it was practically the same scenario as the second book in the series, just with two different people and a different method of angst. I'll be rating it two stars.
That would be disappointing.
Lisa Kay wrote: "That would be disappointing."It was, and it had the potential to be so much better! The one fear of the BDSM community would be that a truly sadistic person goes into the lifestyle and winds up hurting a sub. That exact scenario was at the heart of this book, however, much of it was glossed over. I personally would have liked to know more about the entire situation: the abuse, the healing, the counseling, all of what the heroine endured to be a survivor. Instead, we're only given minimal details. I could have seen this book as a way of helping other survivors of spousal abuse cope and move past their own situations, but with how superficial this story was, it could never be that motivational force.
Trea, it seems you're not having a good month rating-wise !
I'm going to start my BDSM book, I haven't decided which one to read though!

That's positive way to think about it! You're getting the bad ones out of the way .You can start next month with all the good ones!

I'm done. I gave it 2 stars instead on 1 because the hero was gentle and caring and I like the cover!The writing and the story sucked!
ShoSho wrote: "I'm done.

Sounds like I might have wasted my money...but I'll read it anyway. It may go better for me than it did for you.

True! You might even love it ;)

I love hearing everyone's opinions so far this month! I may or may not read a book in this category..... What is everyone's favorites so far ?? (I'm open to all suggestions!)
Hayley wrote: "I love hearing everyone's opinions so far this month! I may or may not read a book in this category..... What is everyone's favorites so far ?? (I'm open to all suggestions!)"For BDSM, the first place I turn is any of Olivia Cunning's books, followed by Jaci Burton's works and Mari Carr's as well. Lila DuBois is another author that has a unique twist on the lifestyle. Selena Kitt does a wide array of Erotica, not just BDSM, but her title A Modern Wicked Fairy Tale: Alice is another good read, and short as well! I'd also recommend my first read of the month: Wrapped Around Your Finger. It was very good!
Thank you Trea. You're always so awesome at recommending books! I'm new to this genre. I've only ever read 50 Shades, which... That's pretty tame, or at least, I imagine it is. I actually just started reading
since it was free & also very short :). I am going to look into the ones you just recommended as well.

Yay, when will you be starting it? It's not very long at all.
Hayley wrote: "Yay, when will you be starting it? It's not very long at all."Probably later tonight or tomorrow.

Yes, it really wasn't what I expected. The heroine is a cattle rancher, but it's really only through some backstory that you realize the time is in the future and werewolves are more common. There were a couple of funny moments related to a supporting character as well. I'm thinking I'll probably pick up the nest story.
Nonetheless it sounds interesting Lara :)
Thanks for the update, Lara.
I finished
last night. Very short story. It's a good "scene" that is told through the eyes of a woman. I enjoyed it. Like I said, super short.
Hayley wrote: "I finished last night. Very short story. It's a good "scene" that is told through the eyes of a woman. I enjoyed it. Like I said, super short."I finished it last night as well and pretty much agree with your thoughts on it too!
I finished
- not as much focus on the BDSM as in the previous books in the series. I enjoyed the romance and the suspense plot.
Awesome Trea. I thought it was good, just not long enough LOL. But, I think all the little novellas in this particular series are just "scenes" from that club.

Hayley wrote: "Do you like this series? "Its OK. Actually I think that this one is better than the first two books. The romance was more believable.
Hmm. I've heard mixed reviews on it so I figured I'd ask :). I'm not sure if I want to read it or not.
Hayley wrote: "Hmm. I've heard mixed reviews on it so I figured I'd ask :). I'm not sure if I want to read it or not."I can recommend Lora Leigh's Breeds series if you want to give her writing a try. It is PNR and quite a longs series to date but you can try the first book and see if you like it
Lauren - I have actually read one of her books,
, which I really enjoyed! Just haven't picked up the next book in the series. One of my friends also recommended the Breeds series to me too! I may try it out someday soon too.
is actually book #1 in the Elite Ops series which is a spin off of Tempting Seals (Hidden Agendas is book #4 ). So if you enjoyed Wild Card then you will enjoy Tempting Seals. I say give it a go :0)
Yeah, I noticed that whenever I read it that it was a spin-off. I wasn't sure if I had to read Tempting Seals to understand what was happening in Elite ops, but I understood everything :). I really liked Wild Card! It was a great read!
