Did you know they made a movie in 2009 with Gary Oldman? I just checked it out on IMDb. I may have to see if I can find it. Maybe on Netflix.

I think they made a Japanese version of the first book but I'm not sure if it was very good...

Yeah, this might be a Japanese version. The trailer was spoken in English (as in no subtitles). It only got 1.5 stars on IMBd, but sometimes those low rated movies are good...maybe :)

I just read a ream of reviews...BAD movie. too bad that they have to destroy a good book with a bad interpretation for the screen. :(

Oh, well, may KR will do a better job.

I met this author at a book signing in Pittsburgh a few years ago. I remember he was a cutie (that is what drew me to his table) and his books sounded interesting too, so I picked up the first one. Still haven't read it. Maybe your review will give me incentive.

I've only seen pictures of him (jealous). I hope to be finished by the weekend and will post a review shortly thereafter, but read D.G.'s (message 1328). It's a great review.

Monica | 860 comments Not to go waaay off topic, but another cute author is Pierce Brown. I follow him on Instagram and he is funny and adorable, and knows how to write a good story.


message 1308: by Monica (new)

Monica | 860 comments I just finished Stay with Me by J. Lynn, book 3 in her Wait for You series and I was slightly disappointed, which is really hard for me to admit. J. Lynn (Jennifer Armentrout) is one of my top fave authors. Also, the hero kept calling the MC honey! I can't escape that stinkin' endearment if my life depended on it. But the last 40% was really good and redeemed itself.

I must say I'm surprised as I know how much you like Armentrout.

Melissa (melissasd) | 1610 comments Finished Dead Run (Monkeewrench #3) by P.J. Tracy by P.J. Tracy, Monkeewrench #3, and I gave it 5 ★. So looking forward to reading book #4, Snow Blind (Monkeewrench, #4) by P.J. Tracy .

That's great to hear, Melissa. I am reading that one this month too.

Pierce Brosnan is SO cute! I loved him as Remington Steele and he is aging so well :0)

I'm really enjoying the series as well.

If you are interested, Jonetta and I were thinking of doing a buddy read of the third book next month.

I'd definitely be up for this. I've just ordered the third book from the local public library. Thanks.

Totally jealous!

If you read my status of that first book, I almost dnfed it but decided to continue when I saw Mr. Eisler pic and that of that first narrator who was also totally hot!!! Hahahahaha!

I'm glad I continued because I became a huge fan of the series. If you are going to continue though, do not read the descriptions of books 3 onwards before you get to the books. My paranoia of not reading book descriptions of later books in the series paid off in this case. I was totally shocked at something that happened!

Anyhow, I'm up to book 5 now - it was very emotional for me so I'm still digesting what happened...I'm still yet to write the review a year after I read it! I feel that once I write the review, I'll be ready to continue the series.

Jorran | 184 comments Finished listening to Nash (Marked Men, #4) by Jay Crownover , Marked Men #4.

This is my least favorite in the series because while I loved Nash, I couldn't stand Saint.

I finished Barefoot by the Sea by Roxanne St. Claire, Barefoot Bay #4. I loved how the series ended and how they've shown up in the spin offs. I wasn't looking forward to Tessa's story, which is probably why it took so long for me to read it. Turns out it was really good. Should have known.

I'm now reading A Rake's Midnight Kiss by Anna Campbell, Sons of Sin #2.

I'll have to give the first couple of books a try and see if I like them. I own the first one and am pretty sure my library has the others. Thanks for the advice on not reading the backblurb. I don't want to discover any spoilers before I actually get to read the book.


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 2447 comments I am caught up with Brooklyn Ann's Bite Me, Your Grace series. Another fabulous book in the paranormal historical romance.

Finished Night's Honor (Elder Races, #7) by Thea Harrison - this is a great series (although there have been one or two weaker books) and this installment is one of the best. I really enjoyed the slow burn office romance type story.

lorii (Loriidae) I started the Protect and Serve series by Norah Wilson with a bang, really enjoyed the first Guarding Suzannah, the second Saving Grace was ok and the third Protecting Paigeis barely readable it is such an inane plot, oh well that is a couple off the TBR list.

I know! I don't like spoilers either. And I HATE them when they show up in the blurbs! It's maddening.

They are soooo fun! Lol. I get that same fun feeling reading them that I got from Lisa Kleypas's Wallflower series (just to give you a sense).

Well, this series is now on my TBR, lol. Love the Wallflowers, so that is high praise!

And that's a huge tease!


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 2447 comments lol! Sorry about tease. I had not really read historical romances and Kleypas was an author that changed my mind and as you both know I now enjoy that genre. This is another series that is a bit different - strong heroines, tortured heroes and great humour. It is not the Wallflowers but still great (if that makes sense).

Monica | 860 comments I read Her Highland Fling by Jennifer McQuiston and loved it. It's book 2.5 (novella) in her Second Sons series. Some of you know I am not a big novella reader, I very rarely read them. Unless they have pertinent info for the series as a whole, I skip them. However, I really was drawn to Penelope from book 2 that I had to find out her HEA. And I was not disappointed. Far from it, in fact.
