      Have you ever read a book so good that you want to shout it out. You want all your friends to read it. You've finished it but want to read again already. It was the best thing you ever read(in a long time, or ever, or so far). Tell us all about it. Unburden yourself and tell us what made it so good? Why should we read it? Talk it up.

      There have been a few authors that have caught my eye this year.
 and 
  
 by J.B. HartnettAbbie Zanders - Callaghan Brothers series. Very hot covers, the first one in the series is
.The best NA I have read in a long time, if not ever
.Just a few, but ones that have stood out for me this year :-)
      One of my best books last year was 
  
. That was sooo beautiful..Also 5 star reads for me :
 and 
  
. Loved both of those!!

I can't wait for the series :)
      Just finished the book called 
  
. It was so good. I really, really enjoyed it. Also a book I read recently that was fantastic was 
  
. Omg, I loved the hero Trigger/Ethan. It was a light biker book. It had some drama but it was low angst. Just a really good read when you don't want anything too intense.

      I'm doing a re-read now of Roxie Rivera's Nikolai Volume 2 
  
to prepare and refresh my memory for the release of Kostya
  
. This series is so sexy and suspenseful and there's tons of mafia intrigue. It's flat-out addicting.I would recommend that the reader go in order and also incorporate the 3 books in her Fighting Connolly's series in with the Russian Protectors. They are very tightly connected.

      I haven't read it. Every time I read the blurb I say to myself, Do I want to read that? And then I say, Naw and pick something else. lol
    
      @Sophie, you are not alone. @ Sarah, I am the same. Something about it makes me stay away. I think it may be too much for me in a read. I guess I like lighter biker books.
    
      @Sarah, amen. I guess for me I read to relieve stress and some reads make me feel off if there is too much drama and too much angst. I think that is why I shy away from YA/NA. I don't feel like dealing with that much fighting when it comes to attraction. It seems immature to me. I don't mind disagreements it is natural but to fight every step seems stupid.

      Sofia wrote: "I believe Undeniable has rape scenes and cheating... Big no-nos for me"Me too, I don't even like when the H kisses OW after he's met the h. Rape if done right, can be okay, but not the H raping the h ex: Rock Chicks (Sadie/Hector)
      
  
 Just finished this one - 5 stars for me. Read 
  
 previously, another 5 star. Very unique writing that doesn't fit the mold of most of the biker/MC genre.

      I think she means that if rape is involved in a book and handled right. Some add it but have no sympathy with it or it doesn't come off a realistic portrayal. I know I have read some where it was handled with care and some that were horrible in dealing with it. Same with physical abuse.

      Yes, I agree rape is NEVER okay. I meant it wasn't a deal breaker in a book if it is important to the story, but it is handled well. That's why I gave the example of KA's (hector/Sadie). Thank goodness I have not come across many books with rape in them (and hopefully that's because it's not used often). Sorry for the confusion Sofia.

I have come across some books where rape was handled terribly, I like books that are dark, but not so much as for me to ever accept rape :/
      In terms of Undeniable, I say don't bother. Not only are the rape and cheating points handled poorly, but no one seems to mention the underlying creepy age difference between H and h. As for biker series, I recommend both Nina Levine and River Savage as good authors with biker (light) series.

I also have recommendation for the book His Tattooed Virgin. I loved it!! One of my favorites.
      @Sbyrd64 moved our convo didn't want mods to get mad for being off topic. Garwood is an all time fav of mine along with jude deveraux. A knight in shining armor was one of my all time fav books by her.

      I have to bring up a favorite series I have been reading or I should say listening to. I get the audiobook version because the narration is that good. 
  
 is a really good romantIc suspense. It is more about the relationship but the cases are a great backdrop to all the relationships and friendships the heroine develops during the series. It about Eve Dallas a Lieutenant with the NYPD in charge of the Homicide dept. She meets the ultra alpha and sexy irish billionaire Roarke and wow. I love this series.
    
      just finished a debut book 
  
 and feel it needs to be recommended highly. It has been one of my favourite reads so far this year (can't top Jamie Begley's Shade, but what can? - for me anyways)
