Off Balance by Jay Hogan
381 pages
How it Fits: published 29 September 2020
Read: 6 Nov
Rating: 5 stars
Review:
I love the descriptions of New Zealand, it sounds magical.

Jay Hogan writes a lovely hurt/comfort romance, and Judah's story is a heart wrencher. Really beautiful.

MountainKat | 31755 comments Here is your next task!

Task 16 - 92. Read over 1500 pages in books set in the future or the past - teams decide.

As a team decide whether your books will be set in the past or in the future, then read at least 1500 pages set in that time frame. ‘Historical’ or ‘Futuristic’ tags will qualify depending on the selected time frame. If looking for specific years, it would need to be 25 years to the future or the past. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.


message 375: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 2988 comments Will go with The past

Whisper by Tal Bauer
Whisper by Tal Bauer
726 Pages
How it qualifies: MPG Historical
Date Read: 11/8/2022
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: As always Tal completely sucked me in and I was on the edge of my seat. It was a little slow in the beginning, and because I've read a lot of Tal I saw the exact big twist coming very early, but it was still so engaging and riveting and I loved it.

The Soldier and the Spy (Society of Beasts, #2) by Annabelle Greene
The Soldier and the Spy by Annabelle Greene
276 pages
How it Fits: MPG Historical
Read: 9 Nov
Rating: 4 stars
Review: Annabelle Green's Society of Beasts is a terrific series. While it's best to read them in order, I actually read The Soldier and the Spy last, and it worked out fine for me.

Also, I did the first two books in audio (beautifully performed by Cornell Collins!). However, I liked The Servant and the Gentleman best. I just really liked that story. Anyhoo - beautifully written, super erotic, and really nicely done historical.


message 384: by Trio (new)

Trio | 2790 comments I'm all done - Caipi, it's all up to you now.

We've got the second AFI concert tonight, but then stuff slows down again for me for awhile :)

Caipi (bookaholic17) | 1376 comments I just finished my book, sorry it took so long. Do we have to post the usual completion post in the main thread or not since the challenge ends today?
