What series are you reading?
I just finished listening to Echoes of Scotland Street (book 5 On Dublin Street) by Samantha Young. I was so excited to get to Cole's book. We got to watch him grow up through the previous books and I fell in love with him. He did not disappoint. However, I could not connect with Shannon. She was nice enough, but she was such a martyr (in her own head). Her friends shared horrific experiences of their past and hers didn't quite reach their level. However, she was the one not moving forward, while the others had. And I honestly don't know what Cole saw in her besides her looks. I enjoyed the narrator, although her Italian accent was a cross between the Count from Sesame Street and a Russian accent. I am currently reading A Summer to Remember (book .6 (second prequel) Bedwyn Saga) by Mary Balogh and really enjoying it.

I'm so behind on Dublin Street. Every time I try to get back to it, something derails it. Definitely on my 2016 schedule.

I am officially caught up on Kate Burkholder series (Linda Castillo). Now hoping to finish Lucy Kendall series (Stacy Green).

Enjoy Monica! I really liked it :)
Mod

Woo hoo!
Maybe when the next Kate Burkholder book comes out, we can group read it!
I just finished book 4
.This one read different from the rest.. I still loved it, but it was pretty much a downer through the whole thing. It worked though, for the story. I'm next in line through the library for book 5 so I shouldn't have to wait long for Coles book Yeah!
I am currently reading
. It is part of a series i am reading and also a christmas book!!! Yay!
I finished the novella Hear No Lies - I am glad that I read this after book 3 rather than as a prequel.I am now reading All Fall Down - the last book in the series.
I'm glad to see the excitement over Stacy Green's book. I've never read her, but a friend asked me to participate in a Book Release tour and I did. Now I can't wait to start. Looks fascinating.

I began the
series about 2 weeks ago and I plan to read all 3 books
Starting book 3 of US Marshalls series
Hi everyone! Long time no "see." I just finished One Good Dragon Deserves Another by Rachel Aaron and it was such fun. I listened to the audio, which I recommend if you're in the mood for a fun, high adventure UF with dragon shifters. :) Next up with be What Happens At Christmas by Jay Northcote, as soon as it shows up on my kindle tonight. :)

Yay! Looking forward to seeing you more.
I've not heard of that series and will check it out.
I'm reading the next Marliss Melton Seal Team 12 book:
.I really like it -- almost halfway through.

Good to know that she's continuing to get better in that series.

Good to "see" you on GR! I'm glad you've had some good reads. I'll have to look into the Heartstrikers series.
I finished Sworn to Silence (book 1 Kate Burkholder) by Linda Castillo and I loved it. Very graphic, but I enjoyed the case and the very flawed characters. I just to take a break from the gore and nastiness, and then I'm jumping into book 2. I also enjoyed the audiobook for the most part. Some of the male characters come across sounding a little like women, so that threw me off at first until I learned everyone's voices.I am now listening to Only Mine (book 4 Fools Gold) by Susan Mallery. It's been a couple of years since I read the book before, so hopefully I can get back into this series easily. I decided I need to catch up on my older series, the ones at the bottom of the pile.
Mod
If you're going to jump back into Fool's Gold, I'd be willing to catch up with you. I'm just on #2 though.

Mod
So have I. It's one I've enjoyed enough to continue but have always gotten sidetracked by other books.

Falling for Her Enemy by Victoria James, Still Harbor #2, was a sweet and poignant story. Here's my review.
A Pirate for Christmas by Anna Campbell was, in a word, fabulous! Here's my review.
I'm now reading Rescuing the Bad Boy by Jessica Lemmon and the hero already has a big hole to dig out of. I put him in the anti-hottie harem while reading the prologue. This isn't going to be a fun ride.

Well, considering that title, I guess I'm not surprised he is on that thread!
