Hey Diane, That's totally fine I'm down with these picks.
however, not sure what to do here but Pixi Poison: An Ashwood Novel has been removed from circulation, I'm not sure why, but yeah its like it no longer exists. And I am apart of the ARC/Promotion for Holding on to Forever Social Butterfly announced a release change its not expected till October now.

I can do re-picks.

[Sonja]

I can do repicks too NancyH!

[Romanticbookworm]

Thanks Sonja these look great. unfortunately I cant locate Santerro Sin as not in print where I am in the UK (checked amazon). I also think I have been recommended Trancing the tiger before and attempted it so looking forward to maybe giving it another go. I havent read Ruin or Talk to Me book one in those series so will need to read them instead but think they will still work :).

[Suzanne]

Hey Susan A! I've had the flu all weekend so I'm behind in my Goodreads duties. I really want to do picks for you this month but I'm not going to be able to make it by 8pm. Can I get them to you tomorrow? I promise I've already started, I just don't want you guys to think I've forgotten. My mind is running a bit slower than usual due to cold/flu meds.

Oh no! I thought since you had books 2 on your shelf and I couldn't find the 1st books in the series that you might have already read them. Usually I'll put book 1 if it's on the list first. Sorry about that. I found Santerra's Sin on Amazon, but in the US that might be different than the UK. DRAT! lol Hopefully the others work?

Sure. I hope you feel better soon.

[Romanticbookworm]

Sonja - sorry my list is probably too big but I can definitely read the first books as they are similar covers. Yep and I technically don't have wallbanger yet as it's on Kindle Unlimited so that works for a new pick. Will see what I manage in September :).

[Nancy H]

Susan A,
I saw the message from Suzanne and as long as you are okay with it, it is fine with me as host.

On another topic, since you volunteered to help with repicks, would you be willing to pick for Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress? Her shelf info is in message #60.

Thank you so much for your patience and your extra work!

They are totally similar, Romanticbookworm! I'll update your picks so they reflect the first books in those series... Because... you know... I'm a Virgo and we're perfectionists... LOL! Besides, the first books still apply to those picking rules so that helps.
Totally get it though, I'm struggling to read as much as I am (which isn't much!) Good luck and hope you get some good ones in this September!

Hello Carina I just finished Unexpected Family and gave it 3 stars. It was sweet but I did find myself annoyed by the hero. Thanks for the pick. I’m going to read A Hero to Keep next.

[Ashley]

I just finished A Hero to Keep and really enjoyed it. 4 stars. Thank you for giving me the push to finally read it. As an aside it is free on kindle so I highly recommend that everyone download it!

[Ashley]

I’m on an insomnia induced roll. Just read Wrecking Ball. Another 4 stars.
