I've been wanting to read this since Sept. 2010. It only took me 4 years and a buddy read to finally move it up my reading list. I am so ashamed of myself *shakes head*

[Tully]

I bought books 1 and 2 last month when they were on sale for 99 cents each. But I totally understand about how long it takes to get to some books. . . I have a ton on my Kindle I've purchased and not yet read!

[M'rella]

I bought the whole series on Kobo a couple of months ago, when they had 80% off. They might again. If another sale happens these next two weeks, I will let you know.

I also joined a challenge on BookLikes to read books already on my device. I read 48 books from it this year. Out of probably 400. LOL Still, it's a progress :D

[M'rella]

Here are some discounts that Kobo is running right now. Just keep in mind that most of it is epub. But then again, there is Calibre :D

I'm into book 2 on my reread, but it would be fun to discuss the books. This is a favorite high-fantasy series for me. It has a bit of a YA feel to it and I do recommend it to the teens who are looking for gay fantasy books. There is no really graphic on page sex that I recall even in book 2, (and very little sex at all in the first book - Kiram is 17, and it is very definitely a slow-burn, friends to lovers with complications story.)

It's really one long book in 2 parts - you have to read both. There is no plot resolution after the first one.

[Tully]

Thanks for the heads up on the plot, Kaje! Lucky I purchased both on sale then! I'm going to start on these within the next week.

[Kaje]

I'll keep an eye on the thread and come chat if you guys are here :)

I love this author's style, so I'm happy to see people trying her work.

[M'rella]

awesomenesssss =)

I am doing a buddy read with Tais-nar starting tonight. It looks like we are the only two left on this planet who haven't yet read Mark Cooper versus America.

So, next week is perfect for me! I will be lurking :D

[Tully]

Not the only person, Mammarella. . . I've not read that one either. And I like Lisa Henry a lot. But my next by her when I get around to it will be Sweetwater

I don't like late 19/early-mid 20th centuries :(

[Tully]

LOL. . . I'm not so big on college guy stories in most cases. :)
Different strokes.

I totally get it :D

[Kaje]

I loved both Mark Cooper and Sweetwater (although Sweetwater has a dark tone to most of it - Mark Cooper is light and funny and warm amid the kinks and slightly more serious moments.)

[M'rella]

Are you reading yet? =)

[Tully]

well. . . no *blush*
Right now reading Play Me, I'm Yours and should finish that tonight/tomorrow, then I'm going to move to Hunter of Demons (the BOM for LGBTFantasy). Maybe after that one.

[Kaje]

LOL - distracted by the pretties...

[M'rella]

I have pretties, too, so it's OK =)
But we need to start soon!

[M'rella]

How's everybody's pretties doing? =) I am almost done with Hidden Gem. Can't get prettier than that :P

[Tully]

I bought that one but haven't gotten to it either, mammarella!! Right now I'm reading Smoky Mountain Dreams which someone loaned me on kindle. . . about half finished. Good book.

[Kaje]

I'm contemplating Champion of the Scarlet Wolf Book One which is supposedly set in the same world as White Hell... But the TBR is long.

[M'rella]

Are the books in sequence? Does it matter if you read Lord... or Champion... first?

I think the secondary characters carry over - it is called "book 3" for the White Hell series, even thought the MCs appear different. I'd read it in order.

[M'rella]

thanks! good to know :)
