What are you reading in 2015?

I finished Bringing Home the Bad Boy by Jessica Lemmon, Second Chances #1, and enjoyed it, despite a too-angsty heroine. Here's my review.
I also finished Worth the Risk by Claudia Connor, McKinney Brothers #2, and enjoyed it, too, especially the inclusion of the characters from the first book. Here's my review.
I'm now starting Midnight Shadows by Ella Grace, Wildefire #3.

LOVE the Lucky Harbor series! One thing to note...she does the series in groups of threes (separate groups of three friends/sisters, give or take a couple of novellas).
I may have to just completely give up on coulters FBI series. It has some elements that start to pull me in and then just nope. I just have a bunch of the books sitting around and started reading so I kept going, hoping!
Lucky Harbor I am definitely just in love with from this book 1 and hope it does stay that way!


I was wondering how this one is. I am very hesitant to pick up a book translated from another language. Even the award winners. There's sometimes something lost in translation.

I've finished the Lucky Harbor series and it holds up wonderfully. Very consistent reading experience.

Lol! I've only read the first two so you've soared past me (doing a Sheri):). Glad you enjoyed the series.

I've read it. I liked it but more so because of the narrator and because I quickly figured out it was more contemporary romance. Here's my review.

I loved Samara. This is such a good book in this series.


It's very, very good!

I finished listening to Hooked by Tiffinie Helmer, Romance on the Edge #2, narrated by Mia Chiaromonte, and really enjoyed it. The narrator improved in her performance of the suspense aspects from the first book. Here's my review.
I finished reading Midnight Shadows by Ella Grace, Wildefire #3, and loved it! This final book in the trilogy was much more suspenseful than the first two. We're trying to convince the author to do a spinoff or a novella for a couple of the characters from the story.
I am now reading The Bridge to a Better Life by Ava Miles, Dare Valley #8, and am listening to Sweet Release by Pamela Clare, Blakewell/Kenleigh #1.

I was in the same place and ended up loving her story.

You won't be disappointed....it is an awesome series.
LOL Shari Kay! I remember thinking the same thing when I read Mystery Man. And that went on a long time...
HaHa! I know...it was a strange situation to go on & on & on without more info. Little unbelievable.


Also in "Sweet Dreams", finished Alex Kava's "Before Evil", a Maggie O'Dell prequel that was short and disappointing since it had no ending; couldn't even call it a cliffhanger. Now reading CJ Lyons' contribution "Bad Break", a Lucy Guardino bridge story between her kick-axx FBI career and whatever her kick-axx future becomes. Very good, thus far. Allison Brennan's story up next.
For me, the Taylor Jackson book was worth the 'price of admission' all by itself. Everything else will be gravy.

Good to hear! Another reason for the Kindle.

I am also going to Listen to fantasy in death. it finally became available at the library. I have already read Indulgence and Possession so going a little out of order but will still go forth.


Shari, I struggled with this one also. I was so glad when it ended. I have since gone on to read more of her books, and to me the characters seem to be the same…..really macho men and women who initially appear strong but fall apart when they fall in love with said macho men. Just finished her book Soaring and the characters all reminded me of characters in her other books. My favorite of her books so far is The Gamble.

Feel better Maggie.

That's the series I'm talking about, Maggie (FBI). That fourth book was...just wrong. I even own all the books!
I've heard good things about her historical romances.
