Thanks for the great story (and inspiration - I'm going to use titles as well) and picks. Not sure what I'm going to read yet, but looking forward to deciding.

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Hi Sunshine,

I hope you enjoy your story. I'm not much of a writer, so I threw in a couple extra selections to help make up for it.

Once upon a time, there was a Law Man named Luke - The Callahan Brothers (Brazos Bend)
who was Crazy Hot

Running scared from seeing her ex Naked in Death, she turned in terror
and ran straight into Crystal Gardens and Luke's arms

When Wicked Nights occurred, Suddenly You scream in ecstasy
they were then asked Can You Keep a Secret? about the Night Pleasures?

As they escaped from being Dragon Bound
they found And One Last Thing ... to bind them together forever - love

And they lived happily ever after

Aw...I was looking forward to reading a story, especially one from a Goodreads author :( Well, I appreciate the picks anyway, thanks.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Tania, if you need help with repicks I can try to get the creative juices flowing again! I will be out running errands all day though so I might not be home until after the deadline. If you need to use me, I will try to get them up as soon as I can but I'm letting you know because I hate to make people wait any longer than they already have!

[Fran, Moderator]

I can help with repicks too Tania :)
I would be able to do them later in the evening tonight if you need me.

This is my first time with PIFM and I misunderstood the instructions. Here's your story, Penney!

Once upon a time there was a…woman possessed by a ghost Red Lily
who…was given one half of an enchanted pair of crystal slippers. The Crystal Slipper

Running scared she…bought the wrong gigolo at a bachelor auction Slow Hands
and ran straight into…a time portal into the 17th century. Mariana

When…she met a man whose mind she couldn't read Uncertain Magic
they…fought deadly family curse together. Lyon's Bride

As the…hot government agent tempts her Midnight Rainbow
they…discover bargaining with the fae can be sexy. Rogue's Pawn

And they lived happily ever after.

Thanks! These all look great.

Hi Kay! This is my first time doing a Pick it for Me challenge, so I hope you like some of your picks! Happy reading :)

Once upon a time there was a handsome stranger (Salem Falls) who dreams of a dazzling snow queen (Winter's Child).

Running scared she flees to an ancient castle (Love's First Light) and ran straight into a horrible dragon (The Bride and the Beast).

When she meets the handsome stranger, their desire consumes them both (Mine Till Midnight). They form a friendship that starts to grow into so much more (Own the Wind).

As the attraction becomes irresistible (Crave) they surrender themselves to love (In Bed with a Highlander).

And they lived happily ever after.

Thanks, Cristina! I am going to go with Salem Falls. I am in the mood for a Jodi Picoult book. :)

If you need more help with repicks Tania I'm all yours :)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi all - I'm going to assign repicks for Tania!


Fran picks for Suzanne

Penney picks for Rebecca

Thanks for volunteering!

[Tania]

Thanks MountainKat - I had to make a mad dash home to Qld (6 hour drive) so I've just now got computer access again. The end of February is kicking my butt.

Hi Diane,

Thanks for the great picks.

I'm going to go with Law Man and Can You Keep a Secret?. Possibly Suddenly You, too.





...stay tuned

[Penney]

Good Morning Rebecca, I am just opening my eyes for the day (yes, the very first thing I do is grab my iPad, lol). Let me shuffle to the kitchen, give my brain a caffeine jolt to wake it up and then I'll delve into your shelves. This may take a few hours...sorry ;-)

[Fran, Moderator]

Hi Suzanne!
I will have your picks up very soon :)

[Penney]

Okay Rebecca, since you had to wait I think you deserve a nice long story. For some reason I couldn't get a really good handle on your likes and dislikes so I hope I've done right by you :)

This story is dedicated to the true Queen of Mt. TBR... (Yes Dee, you hold the title of Most Organized, but I'm afraid she may have you on volume)

Once upon a time there was a... kick-ass cop (Immortal in Death) and a Russian soldier (The Bronze Horseman)
who...got lost in a mystical forest (Daughter of the Forest) hidden deep in the wilds of India. (Tiger's Curse)
Running scared they... hijacked one of the sexiest dragons EVER (Dragon Bound), flew to Faerie (Splintered)
and ran straight into... The Last Werewolf who, although beautiful, was horribly scarred. (Making Faces)
When... they were handed over as a Warprize to an age old druid with the most hilarious dog, (Hounded)
they...escaped with the help of an instellar navigator (Grimspace) and a "freewheeling ghost hunter". (Unholy Ghosts)

As the...streets of Chicago ran rampant with sexy vampires (Some Girls Bite) and awkward Neanderthals (Neanderthal Seeks Human),
they...played out their epic, forbidden love affair (Katherine) amongst the "angels of the apocalypse". (Angelfall)

And they lived happily ever after.

The End!

TBR

When….he came over to her! It must be Fated
they…be together. They were looking forward to New Beginnings
As they…began My Shifter Showmance (yes! they are lion shifters)

I am the biggest failure in life lately. I have had such limited internet access this last week as I've been on vacation in Austria. Finally got to see my boyfriend for the first time in 4 months. But on the plane home right now is the first time I've really had to update steadily. I'm sooooooooo sorry Suzanne I didn't get here earlier to get your picks in. :(

Great Rebecca, I'm glad you liked it! I loved that the heroine, in spite of her young age, was strong and intelligent. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series :-)

Thankyou for the picks I will try to get a few more in before the month is over.

Ashely, Playing for Keeps was awesome. Thanks so much for the recommendation!

Jojo wrote: "Hi Dee

This was harder than I thought - I am not creative at all - but I hope you can find something to enjoy.

Once upon a time there was a celebrity blogger - The Hooker and the Hermit - I had actually started this in Feb but it was languishing and I was struggling with it, but I finally finished up - was very underwhelmed overall - i expected more from Penny Reid

Chained by Night - really enjoyed this addition to the series - i'm really hoping she writes more

Double Full - yikes just yikes...i don't even know where i begin...i will say that I liked previous books by KA, this one just didn't work for me

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Suzanne,

I read and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation.

[Nancy H]

Hi Sadie,
THANK YOU for the great picks! I just finished Veiled Threats, and LOVED it! Next up is Scots on the Rocks and I will be starting it today.

Thanks again for the great picks and Happy Reading to You!

[Rebecca]

I have finished Some Girls Bite and Hounded I gave both 3 stars. Next I will start The Last Werewolf

[Kristy]

MountainKat

Your picks for me are great! So far I have read Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake and Exclusively Yours. I loved both of these giving the former 4 stars and the latter 3 stars. (I am stingy with stars and only give 5 to absolutely the best.) I hope to get to a few more of your picks soon. Thank you!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I'm so glad you have enjoyed your picks!!

[Tarsila]

Hi, Kay! I started reading Jane Eyre and I loooove it! Thank you!!! The writing is great and I see myself as Jane when about her love for Mr Rochester, I identify myself with her so it is great!!! I love when it happens. But my native language is portuguese, being english a second one, so sometimes the reading is difficult and it gets me scared of not understanding the whole story behind the book, so I will stop it for some time and read other books and then I will get back to it and make it. Thank you for your picks, I will probably read another one of the picks soon and keep you updated.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Stacie, I figured I should do an update. =) So far I've read Revenant and really enjoyed it! Thanks for the excuse to read it, in this group it helps to have a reason or two!! I still have a couple of books I plan to get to and would love to fit in even more if time allows. Thanks again for the great picks and stories!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

It's time to start looking for new PIFM host volunteers! Don't let this challenge intimidate you - we want to see what your creative minds come up with!! If you are interested in hosting May, June or July - send me a PM and I will get back to you with the details so we can set something up. =)

Come on, you know you want to!
