Review
What a fun read! The story ended up more about the relationship between Griffin and the ghost Wes, which was hilarious. Yet we still get the HEA with Griffin and Byron. By the end of the story, I found I want more, another book with Wes. Overall a great Halloween story.

Review:
I liked this well enough, especially the first part of Kaden and Rogan meeting, connecting and falling in love. The end and the part where Cortez came back went too smoothly (I know, I can't believe I'm saying that either. Suddenly and without a lot of talking about it or anything at all they are a having a threesome and then in love all three of them. Yeah, no. But the first maybe 60% of the book was sooo good. And hot. Seriously hot.

I liked this, but would've liked some more communication between the guys. Nowhere near a smash hit as the first book in the series though.

Review:
This was so so so good. Seriously, so good! I fell in love with Leland and Jamie and Farthingdale and all the side characters and the horses... everything. But especially I couldn't stop reading. I felt what Leland and Jamie felt. Not only was this an amazing romance, but this author is truly gifted with words. At times, it was almost poetic and I highlighted passage after passage.
I might come back for a more flashed out interview, or I might not and just leave it with my ramblings.
That's it. I've finally had time to update our tracking post.

Great! Just change it from selection to completion.
Thank you Gustaf. I really loved that book. I recommend it to anyone who has read the other books.
Is there another challenge coming up?
Gustaf wrote: "We are still waiting for Diane."I was asking about challenge. This one is almost done

Ah, sorry misunderstood.
Eh.. I don't know...
Ok, I’ve downloaded a massive amount of books while in port. Probably all the wrong ones for our next task though🤣Ive been entertaining myself with the Turn of a Page group challenges (thank you Gustaf for the invite), collecting buttons. But none of the challenges are team/group ones.

I know. Also thank you Gustaf
I have just discovered something we four are good friends but we have very different reading styles. I am in the urban fantasy/paranormal books. I like we can get ideas for future books from genres we don't normally read

Review: Oh my! Oliver and Cooper just get better and better together. Loved this next story and how they managed to incorporate Eli into their pack. Sex is hot, they get into lots of trouble, and they come out stronger and happier than ever.
Sorry for the delay guys. Was a fabulous weekend at the cottage with my girlfriends, but there was a lot of wine involved and not a lot of reading. Home safe and sound, but had to drive through a bit of the white stuff coming down from the sky. Ugh
Oh man, only 3 more days. Think we can get another couple of categories in?? Gonna miss this group, but at least I know we can communicate in the larger group.And we are totally winning for number of posts!! No competition at all.
Oh wow, we did crush the number of posts…over a thousand 🤣
Yes and it is not even a long challenge. 😂😂
I'm going to miss having this challenge telling me what to read. Hopefully it will be back in the spring.
DeeNeez wrote: "Oh wow, we did crush the number of posts…over a thousand 🤣"I'm not surprised, this is usually what happens when we got together on a team.
I would do this one again for sure!After UNO though!
Diane wrote: "I would do this one again for sure!After UNO though!"
Oh yes, Uno!!
If there's another bachelor round coming up I might just do it, since there will be a shortage of team challenges until the new year.
Uno is January in The Perks of Being a Book Addict thread.
Diane wrote: "Uno is January in The Perks of Being a Book Addict thread."Is it in this group?
The group name is Perks of Being a Book Addict. Not in this one.
Are we going to try to do one more task? Or is this it?

Will do Dee, it's easy
Here is your last task!Task 24 - Last Task. Read books with more than one person on the cover.
Books selected for this task need to clearly and obviously have more than one person on the cover. The cover does not need to show all of both people, but it does need to show enough that it clearly has at least two people on the cover. You can use any edition’s cover to qualify. Please include the qualifying cover in your completion post.
Remember completion posts with errors or missing elements will not count towards your team total or the completion of this task. The task will be considered ‘completed’ when each team member has completed one book for this task, additional books will count towards a tie breaker if necessary. Help each other out by double checking posts are complete with the first edition Kindle page count!
There is no need to post a team completion in the Q&A thread, I will be checking all team threads at the conclusion of the challenge. 😊

Review: Just as lovely and sweet as the first book in the series. Ansel and Daniel are amazing together and finding out all the mating/relationship habits of polar bear and penguin shifters and their differences is fascinating. What a really neat world.
