Love Sincerely Yours273 pages/GR
How it fits: Laura read on 3/22/21 and
Rated *4 STARS*
Date completed: 4/7/21
Rating: *3 STARS*
This is more like *3.5 STARS* but I decided to not round up on this one because I wasn't a huge fan of the audio.
The plot was a bit implausible, but I enjoyed that and the banter between Peyton and Rome. They were also on fire when they hit sheets finally, but I thought that the ending was rushed and I wanted way more of an epilogue than we got since the epilogue wasn't focused on the main couple.
But if this turns into a series (which it sounds like it will from the epilogue) I will continue with it because I liked the secondary characters and I liked Peyton and Rome. I wouldn't mind more of them in the future.
Hey guys gimme 1 more.day will post completion by this time tommorw had to stay at my mum's last night as we have been painting the house and did the bedroom yesterday... So the smell wasn't good for the kids... And at mums they wouldn't sleep well so not much reading.... Plus I let them watch anaconda....

The Noose of a New Moon - Helen Harper
246 pages/GR
How it fits: Nikk read on Feb 12 2021
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
Rated *4 STARS*
Date completed: 4/9/21
Rating: *2.5 STARS - Rounded to 3*
Helen Harper is always a hit or miss Author for me..... Im not a huge fan of her writing style as shes erratic jumping from one subject to another, and alot of the Novel is conversations where lots of people talk alot and over each other.... But she has fantastic characters and a great Imagination.....
This had criminal turned werewolf team up with one fanged vamp to hunt down a shady company making and selling supes.....
I wish we had a bit more insight into the world the history who supes came out came to be ect... The Author just kind of drops you there scrambling around.
Laura..devouring books like crumpets wrote: "Task 8: Each teammate reads a book another teammate read and rated 4 Stars or higher in the last 3 months. No pass for this task.[book:The Noose of a ..."
this is actually a spin off of her Firebrand series which is probably while you may have felt like you had been dropped in the middle of things. it takes place after book 3 of the firebrand series which includes how he became a werewolf in the first place lol :-)
ahh that makes sense I may check them out i have KU for 6 months x
Laura, did I tell you that I am going to do the free trial for scribd? I'm waiting for there to be a book I need for a challenge or something but it does have a lot of choices.Is it really unlimited or do they block you if you listen too much? Do you know?
You will see as the month goes on the selection available to you lessons depending on what you read..... But it's still brilliant!!!!
ok, good to know. I guess I'll have to see what the threshold is.
I did a free trial of scribd this month and I am loving it - its been great for this challenge - thanks for getting me on to it Laura
Hey, Ladies! Has anyone heard from CB? She's usually around more, and she hasn't been around for a few days. I hope she's ok!! I'm so paranoid in these COVID-19!
Your welcome Nikk!!!! Glad you are loving it!!!!Sass i meant the titles lesson over the month, once you reach the next month (on the payday) all the titles are available again.... and they lesson again throughout the month until next Payment

Tapping the Billionaire377 pages/GR
How it fits: written by Max Monroe
Date completed: 4/11/21
Rating: *4 STARS*
I enjoyed this one. It was nice to see Will and his family from Dr. OB (which I read first but this book was actually before Dr. OB).
Georgia and Kline were hilariously perfect for each other, but man you know that you could see the big drama coming from a mile away. I thought the Kline's big gesture was a *bit* over the top but I loved it nonetheless. And the epilogue was so great! Can't wait to continue with this series!
hey guys sorry hectic weekend.... I'm about halfway through the cad and the co-ed for this task it's about 330 pages or so I should be done by tonight - tommorow morning.
