I picked up Pride Mates by Jennifer Ashley (first book in the shifters unbound series) on a complete whim and finished it in one day. I loved it! :)

[Giulia]

I totally was disappointed by that book Erin. I'd been wanting to read it for ages, but when I finally did I didn't love it like I expected to. Too bad since I lived the premise of the series.

Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy it, Jewel. I've read other reviews with similar opinions. I'm a total sucker for shifter romance so it was right up my alley ;).

Lol! I read some criticism about the actual 'mystery' storyline so I don't know if you'd care for the book. I was all about the alpha male shifter myself :).

[Jonetta]

Both Lauren and Noni Fro recommended it and as Lauren and I rarely disagree on mysteries, it might work fine for me. I'm also a shifter fan, especially the feline types:)

Well the hero in this book is one heck of a feline!! Lol!

[Jonetta]

And there you go again!!! Shades of Curran...and boy do I love his beastliness:)

[Jonetta]

By the way, I finished listening to House Rules by Chloe Neill, Chicagoland Vampires #7, and enjoyed it (minus the Ethan/Merit drama). Did we have a discussion set up for this? If not, I wouldn't mind putting together a few discussion questions.

I'm now listening to Captivated by You by Sylvia Day, Crossfire #4.

I really enjoyed and the sequel . The third book was meh though and I was about to call it quits on the series when I read #4 (because the build up to it in #3 was the only thing that the book had going for it). #4 turned out to be my absolute favorite and I'm hooked again :0)

[Erin]

Glad to hear that, Lauren! I was worried when I saw that book 3 seemed to have completely new characters so soon into the series.

[Jonetta]

Good to know!

Yay! Glad you enjoyed it. Apparently it wouldn't be a Chicagoland novel without the Ethan/merit drama. Although I'm happy to say that this aspect has much improved in the more recent instalments!

I didn't actually check to see if there was a discussion set up.

[Giulia]

Erin, I like shifter stuff too. But in this case...

Maybe book two is better, I don't know.

[Dawn]

So, as I was going through my Audible library looking for books I haven't listened to, I discovered a four book series by Nora Roberts that I purchased and apparently never listened to. So, O'Hurley's here I come.

[Jonetta]

I've had that series on my shelf for awhile, too, but am concerned it may be dated.

[Dawn]

A little. I am listening to the first book and it is kind of sweet. Not at all what she writes these days but I am enjoying it.

That sounds like a series I could get hooked on, Erin and Lauren!

[Charlene]

I've just finished Christy Reece's , # 7 in the Last Chance Rescue Series. I'm about to begin #8, .

If anyone else is interested, Jonetta has posted 2-3-4 discussion questions for SWEET JUSTICE and it would be great to see your responses, too!

There's a buddy read underway to finish this series this upcoming month.

[Phrynne]

I just finished Susan Ee's Penryn and the End of Days trilogy. The last one is End of Days and it was a rather weak ending for a series that started out so well.

Bummer, Phrynne. I wish you'd had a better experience with this one! I enjoyed the ending, but I find I'm pretty easy to please, lol.

[Monica]

I finished Beautiful Sacrifice (book 3 The Maddox Brothers) by Jamie McGuire. I loved and hated it, lol. I finished it in one heart-stopping/breaking/bursting sitting. Here's my review.

[Monica]

I figured since I'm on a roll with continuing on in series, I'll keep up the pace.

I'm reading Dearest Rogue (book 8 Maiden Lane) by Elizabeth Hoyt. This is Lady Phoebe's story, and I have been looking forward to it for quite a while.

I will start listening to Black Arts (book 7 Jane Yellowrock) by Faith Hunter later today.

Wow you have made good progress with the Maiden Lane series!

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

I made it over another 2nd book hurdle with Pray for Silence by Linda Castillo. I am now reading Snow Blind (Book 4) by PJ Tracy.

Haven't a clue when I can start Jane Yellowrock. Glad to see you're still enjoying the series.

[Jonetta]

I finished reading Sweet Revenge by Christy Reece, Last Chance Rescue #8, and, while I enjoyed the story, it is probably the weakest in the series. It has some really good moments but too much repetition of the hero waffling about his feelings. And, I needed more from the ending. 3.5 stars and review to come.

I also finished listening to Captivated by You by Sylvia Day and think I understand why this extra book was considered necessary by the author. While nothing really spectacular happens, it does focus on Eva and Gideon's relationship development and it's well done. 4 stars and review to come.

I'm now reading A New Hope by Robyn Carr, Thunder Point #8 as I need a break from suspense for a moment. I'm also listening to Suddenly One Summer by Julie James. Though the author doesn't officially include this in her FBI/US Attorney series because the lead characters aren't agents or attorneys, they're of that series world.

I'm looking forward to what you think of Suddenly One Summer. And I love its cover so much, lol.

Too bad about Sweet Revenge, but I guess it happens even to the best of our authors ;)

[Jonetta]

A weaker book by Christy is a pretty good one by most other authors:) She just sets the bar pretty high. Still liked it.

It's early for me with Suddenly. Are you up to date in that series!

No, I'm still behind, I have book 3 on my plan for this month.

And I agree, a weaker book by Christy is still better than most. 3.5 stars isn't bad either, balancing between "liked" and "really liked" lol

[Lauren]

I finished - while I loved Apollo's character, I never managed to warm up to Lily. Really looking forward to Phoebe and Trevellion's book though.

[Liz (Bugetta)]

I finished Frostbitten by Kelley Armstrong and loved it. It's one of my favorites of the series. I loved being back with Elena and Clay. I'm enjoying the Women of the Otherworld so much, I decided to keep going, so now I'm listening to Waking the Witch .

I've been reading a lot of stand-alones lately and one I just finished, Kick at the Darkness by Keira Andrews was so good, I'm dying for it to be a series. It starts off like it's going to be a college romance and then there's a zombie apocalypse (well they're zombie-like) and it turns into an enemies to lovers road romance full of action and danger and I just adored the main characters.

[Sunny]

I'm on book 3 of the Cold Fury series by Sawyer Bennett. I'm loving

I finished Snow Blind and I am hoping I can join the discussion starting tonight :)

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

I am reading Sweet Revenge and I am so glad to finally get Dylan's story! I have a feeling I will read the next book back to back.

[Monica]

I finished reading Dearest Rogue (book #8 Maiden Lane) by Elizabeth Hoyt. I enjoyed this one, I have always been a big fan of Lady Phoebe and I loved seeing her come into her own. And Trevillion has always been an enigmatic character, I enjoyed getting inside his head.

I finished listening to Black Arts (book #7 Jane Yellowrock) by Faith Hunter. I really enjoyed this one and hadn't realized how much I'd missed Jane and Beast. Good addition to the series.

Now I'm just rolling right into the next book Broken Soul (Book #8 Jane Yellowrock).

[Jonetta]

I finished A New Hope by Robyn Carr, Thunder Point #8 and enjoyed it a lot! The hero is quite unconventional, full of passion and exuberance. It's a real feel-good story, too.

I also finished listening to Suddenly One Summer by Julie James, narrated by Karen White. I loved the story and couldn't put it down. It really is part of the FBI/US Attorney series as several characters appear in the book. I think James is blundering by positioning it otherwise. For those following the series, consider it #6.

I'm now reading Unforgiven by B. J. Daniels, Beartooth Montana #1, and listening to Breaking Silence by Linda Castillo, Kate Burkholder #3.

Oh I disagree in both counts. I think she's right positioning it as a standalone. People are too afraid to jump in long established series because they feel they have to start at the beginning and there's no background whatsoever in the characters from the series, they just show up now and then. One of my friends read it without reading the other books in the series and didn't feel lost at all.

I enjoyed the book but I feel JJ needs to step out of her comfort zone a bit. I'm getting tired of the perfectly beautiful, successful, lawyer heroines.

There's the distinction of having a book be able to standalone without necessarily being lost by not reading the previous books and then character continuity. There were four characters from the previous books in this story, three with significant roles. For those of us where this matters, my comment stands.

[Liz (Bugetta)]

I finished Diving in Deep by K.A. Mitchell. It's actually the first book in her Florida Books series, but I read book two first (I know! The horror! :)).

Book two in this series, Collision Course was the first m/m romance I read and it's been three years now, so I'm going to re-read it. It will be interesting to see how it holds up after all the 100s of m/m romance stories I've read since!

Yes, I noticed that and was wondering why it isn't included in the series list. It seems strange. Perhaps James wants to distance herself from the FBI/US Attorney association because the books are contemporary romance and not RS.

That's a good point and as the storylines in the series are all self contained with no continuous arc then it makes sense to publish it as a standalone. It could also encourage new readers to go try out the earlier books.

[Jonetta]

Lauren wrote: "Jonetta wrote: "I also finished listening to Suddenly One Summer by Julie James, narrated by Karen White. I loved the story and couldn't put it down. It really is part of the FBI/US Attorney series..."

She said she excluded it from the series because neither of the main characters are an FBI agent or U.S. Attorney.

[Jonetta]

Lauren wrote: "D.G. wrote: "People are too afraid to jump in long established series because they feel they have to start at the beginning and there's no background whatsoever in the characters from the series"

..."

Then under that logic, none of them should be in the series.

I hate when authors do this in an attempt to sell to new readers. It's confusing to the old. The main character in the story is the best friend of one the main characters in a previous book, who also is significant in this one. For those who think character continuity is important, this makes a difference.

Nothing annoys me more than to feel I "missed" something when reading a book that ends up being connected to other books or a series.

[Lauren]

That makes sense in a way but then I personally thought that the series title was very misleading.

[Lauren]

Jonetta wrote: "I hate when authors do this in an attempt to sell to new readers. It's confusing to the old. "

I also dislike this and the fact that the characters are obviously connected does make it difficult for those of us who are OCD about reading in order.

It really is. Aside from the first book being suspense, it's a contemporary romance series. I read an interview with her some time ago and she was surprised that the first book was considered romantic suspense.

Really?! And I thought the inclusion of a murder was a dead giveaway, lol!
