Review: I’m gonna try this again in the future because I think this really came down to my mood but it just took me soooo long to get into this one. I really was only hooked for the last couple chapters when things started ramping up. Again, I think it’s a me thing though and will definitely give it another shot in the future.
and if anyone is looking for a stupendisly naughty audiobook, Wicked Lies Boys Tell *smoking*! I might listen to it again tbh.
okay, I wish there was something I'd love on that list, but I'm going with Mainly by Moonlight because after reading the third book I was dying to redo this series.

Review: I was so tempted to revisit the first two book before the third came out but never found the time. Glad the challenge forced my hand.

Anything teeth related is the absolute WORST.
Changed mine to completion - am I last to finish?I posted the completion link in the Main Thread before I checked... so I deleted it, Caipi are you done too?
I haven't slept at all - mouth pain and no good drugs to help it.
I'm going to find you the warmest, fluffiest, sweetest book to read next J!
Well as notifications not properly right yet ..im sure no one noticed 😄😄😄..i didnt
I would have thought your tooth ok now it was all complete
Most of my books have been pretty angsty lately Gustaf is the best to ask for fluff 😄😄
Then you can tell us all about them , as i could do with some fluff
Hie is everyones Scavenger Hunt going I cant find a wyoming / idaho/ montana book that i fancy ready that i can gaurantee works for the task
I read one that I did not love and I knew I wasn't going to but it was the only one I could find with slightly okay points. Even though they weren't great I'm not going to redo it because that category sucks so hard lol

Completed: 17th April

Review:
Overall this was a fun read. Paul's try at hate-sex turning more into mild dislike sex or if honest in the end even great sex was awesome. He really should have informed himself beforehand how hate-sex is done properly...... 😉😂
Posted our Completion Post on the main thread.
I called the dr asking for some stronger pain meds, hopefully he'll send them to the pharmacy soon. For an implant, they drill into your jaw and literally implant a metal housing which a post screws into... that is where the tooth will eventually be placed. It sucks, but at least it's Saturday!

the whole thing has to heal before they can put the tooth on top, but I've got the good drugs now so I'm feeling much better - plus my son went to the store and got me ice cream so I made a yummy shake

I read Lawful Mates which was crap for points
then I read Honey from the Lion which was only slightly better
I see Best Laid Plans is in Wyoming so I might do that one depending on what our next task here is.

It looks like the first book.is set in Wyoming as well...do you know if its all set there
Here is your next task! (Sorry for the delay, we have projects going and hubby keeps pulling me away from the computer!)Task 17 - 53. Each teammate reads a book set in one of your teammates' home town (born in, raised in, currently live in - all work), teams decide. No pass for this task.
As a team select one teammate and everyone reads a book set in that teammate's home town. If they live in a big city it is easy enough to select books, but you are free to use the state if within the US, or the country if outside the US. Please include the selected teammate and their home town in your completion posts. Remember to let me know how you know your book qualifies - I need to know where to look to confirm your books.

I've only read Lawful Mates, none of the other books in the series.
So for task #53, we picked England... right?
It looks like we never actually did choose lol. My vote would be either England or New York but am good with anything
Lets go with England, theres bound to be a Lily Morton book we all have on out tbr 😄😄😄
Pansies has good points for Hunt and Oz has over 60 as well
Lol I have to read Pansies for hunt so perfect for me if we do England
The rest of my family lives in Indiana, can that count?? Lol.

Review: A very enjoyable series, and I'm glad to see Lee and Patrick get their happily-ever-after. Clare London has created an interesting community, and each book has it's own unique flavor... and those ice cream recipes are an inspiration :).

Review: I love former bullies to lovers stories, especially when you can see the changes and growth. While it still took Alfie some time to really figure himself out and become a better person, it was truly a joy to watch him get to that place. And sweet, yet prickly Fenn, was an instant favorite; with his unwavering ability to be himself, even when he was completely lost to his grief. This is not a light book or a fluffy books, but a book full of big feelings that I really enjoyed. Plus anything narrated by Cornell Collins is a win in my book.

I loved bk 1 in this series , it had a bit of a 'midsomer murders' but this one was more of a gritty / police corruption type..hoping bk 3 reverts back to bk 1

Rating: 4 stars
Review:
Great re-read!
After having broken up with his girlfriend Shawn is kinda lost, angry and unsecure about himself and his own feelings. When he accidentally stumbles in on his roommate Jude working as a cam boy he's aroused but still in denial.
Jude is Shawn’s complete opposite. He’s out and proud and so confident! And then there's this dominant side Jude shows, which Shawn secretly desires.....
It was great seeing Shawn coming to terms with his bisexuality. The sex was definitely hot, the bdsm theme (thankfully) only of the light kind.
And yes Trio, there was an awesome edging scene! ;)
I'm done - that's a fun series if anyone needs short and easy standalones (if you haven't already read them): https://www.goodreads.com/series/1357...

oooh Caipi, not sure if you're read this one before, but it's got one of the best edging scenes ever, at least as far as I can remember...

It's a reread and I must admit that I don't remember but it'd fit with those two. 😍
Are you guys able to watch these videos in your country? It's from our current Let's Dance season, the first male/male dance couple we have in this show. I love it!! 😍😍
Waltz
Charleston
Contemporary
Caipi, I get a big pop up in German which Google translate won't translate for me and I can't see what's behind it.
