Alycia | 1478 comments LOS sounds good, do you have to read the previous books in the series to know what's going on?


message 252: by Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny (new)

 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 3737 comments Hi Alycia. It is part of a series, you can read it as a standalone.


message 253: by Alycia (new)

Alycia | 1478 comments Thanks so much for letting me know Danielle! Have you read other books in the series? I was just wondering if reading the whole series was worth it.

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Yay Cheryly! LOS was awesome!

Bekah (bekah317) | 2750 comments I just ordered some books from Lora Leigh's breed series. Am I going to like these? I really got into the Riley Jenson series, but stopped after like book 6 I think, not because I lost interest, only because my library didn't have copies anymore..and I wasn't sure I wanted to start buying them in the middle of the series. Anyway, anyone have thoughts on the Breed series from Lora Leigh???

TIA

Bekah

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments I really enjoy the Breeds series. It's a progressive storyline so it makes more sense to read it in order, but as the story progresses it's not as important. My favorite of the series is Dawn's Awakening, Elizabeth's Wolf (Breeds, #3) and Coyote's Mate well... there are others for sure but I'm not thinking of their titles right now. I'm REALLY looking forward to Lion's Heat which is out in April. It's Jonas Wyatt's story and he's so hard on the Breeds and their matings... I can't wait to see him deal with his own mate, finally.

Some of them are pretty erotic and some contain anal sex. Just letting you know.

Hi, Alycia. The short story, "The Mad Earl's Intended Bride" in Three Weddings and a Kiss is definitely worth reading. As well as The Last Hellion. Personally, I was underwhelmed with Captives of the Night, and I haven't heard good things about The Lion's Daughter, although I intend to read it. Loretta Chase is one of those authors that I intend to read everything she writes. For someone who doesn't feel that need, if anything, read the first two, and LOS. I hope that helps.

Yes, it does. Thank you! :)

Thanks Dhistiny! I appreciate it. I was concerned because they are NOT cheap books. Plus...I can see how a breed series would have anal sex...I mean..well..ya know..

Yeah, some of the breeds 'partake' of the 'back door' method and other's don't. You always know when it's coming though, so if it offends you it's easily skipped.


message 262: by Anne (last edited Feb 23, 2010 10:53AM) (new)

Anne Finished Enchanting Pleasures. I was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did! I usually don't romances where the hero or heroine has physical problems. I know, I know. I'm shallow when it comes to my choice of books.

Danielle...Enchanting Pleasures would be right up your alley!


message 263: by Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny (new)

 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 3737 comments Is that the one where the hero has bad migraines and the heroine is plump? I definitely want to read that one, Anne.


message 264: by Anne (new)

Anne Yes! And believe it or not...I loved it! You know me, I like my fantasy men to be pretty much perfect (physically anyway), but this dude had some 'issues'.


message 265: by Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny (new)

 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 3737 comments Great. I think this one is buried somewhere. Possibly in my garage. Well, good thing I have resolved to clean up the garage over my vacation. I'm so not looking forward to it!


message 266: by Holly (new)

Holly (velvetsun) | 144 comments Well, I made the mistake of reading Slave by Cheryl Brooks. It was AWFUL. *sigh*
Going back to reading Turn Coat by Jim Butcher. At least Harry Dresdan never disappoints...


message 267: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments I'm reading book 3 of the Bridgerton series, An Offer From a Gentleman. It's a sweet, light read and exactly what I need after reading Whitney, My Love and Until You which are anything but light. LOL


message 268: by Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic (new)

Bekah (bekah317) | 2750 comments I'm reading The Warrior A Novel by Nicole Jordan

Sorta reminds me of The Conqueror (de Warenne Dynasty, #1) by Brenda Joyce

So...right up my alley so far.. :-)


message 269: by [deleted user] (new)

I am reading but not loving Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1) by J.R. Ward


message 270: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Rachael, don't give up! Dark Lover is the weakest in the series, IMO, but you need to read it to understand the world the WARDen has created.

IM really trying here .. and i no you guys all like the sme books as me so i was sure i woulf love this series .. i feel like its rushed .. its all over the place .. i am liking the other brothers .. whos the leading brother in lover unbound???? i like beth and wrath .. im looking forward to the change.. but im just pushing through .. I have "devil in winter" calling me im desperate to start but i cant read simultaneously :)


message 272: by [deleted user] (new)

Im skipping past Mr X and the lessors .. is this bad could i miss something important ???


message 273: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (last edited Feb 23, 2010 03:31PM) (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments At this point all you need to know about the Lessers is that they need to die. Later... maybe 3rd book and on, their role is a little more important. Lover Unbound is Vishous' book.

Here's the run down for you

Dark Lover - Wrath and Beth
Lover Eternal - Rhage and Mary
Lover Awakened - Zsadist *sigh* and Bella *grrr*
Lover Revealed - Butch and Marissa
Lover Unbound - Vishous and Jane
Lover Enshrined - Phury and Cormia
Lover Avenged - Rehv and Ehlena
Lover Mine - John Matthew and Xhex


message 274: by [deleted user] (new)

who is the hottest brother .??????? i need motivation to keep reading .. Zsadist is dam scarey...which brother is the sex addict??? i cant rememebr but im interested in him LOL


message 275: by Alycia (new)

Alycia | 1478 comments I agree with Uniquely Moi! That's what I've been telling you Rachael, just keep with it, they do get better :)


message 276: by Alycia (new)

Alycia | 1478 comments It's hard to pick the hottest. I love Zadist, Rehvenge, and later you meet John Matthew (post transition) and Qhuinn. But a lot of people love V and Rhage.


message 277: by [deleted user] (new)

Is V the hollywood looker or the guy that screws anything ? there are so many of them cant keep up


message 278: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Rhage is Hollywood. V is into ... how can I say this... well, the title of his book is Lover UnBOUND - so you should be able to figure that out.

The most tortured hero, and my favorite is Zsadist. The WARDen has said that he is her favorite too, and the only one of the books that she will never read again. It was emotionally painful to read, but is my favorite.

I didn't hate the book, but I didn't love it either. I keep telling myself I'll pick the series back up again, but so far I haven't done it.


message 280: by Stamatia (new)

Stamatia | 5 comments V is my favourite for being so brainy . *looks around furtively* anybody else notice that we turned an LK thread into a BDB love fest? LOL


message 281: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments LOL Actually this thread is NON Lisa Kleypas and I'd say the Brothers fill that bill quite nicely!


message 282: by Alycia (new)

Alycia | 1478 comments I can talk about the Brothers anywhere, any time *sigh*


message 283: by Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic (new)

Bekah (bekah317) | 2750 comments I may get them a try....

On another note.. How long do you guys think you should wait for a book to be delivered? I ordered a book on the 22nd of January, and I still haven't gotten it. It was LK's Where Passion Leads, which I had to pay $19.95 for! Still not here. I've already written them about it on the 11th, cause all of my other books had already been delivered. Their response was that it would be coming soon.

Thoughts?


message 284: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments I would email them asking for the actual date they shipped the book, and what does their website say about how long it will take to be delivered? Media Mail is usually 4-11 days according to most eBay sellers.


message 285: by Carolyn F. (new)

Carolyn F. If they have a tracking # you can look it up at USPS.com and they'll let you know where the book is at.


message 286: by Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic (new)

Bekah (bekah317) | 2750 comments I got a shipping confirmation from betterworld books on 1/22 which stated that some of the books would be arriving separately, but that I should recieve all of them 6-17 from January 22nd.

How was Whitney my love ???????? had my eye on that 1


message 290: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Rachael, Whitney was a very, very, powerful, emotional read. I loved it, but I haven't sobbed so hard or been so frustrated with characters in a book in ages. Be ready for that kind of read when you pick this one up. And try to make sure it's the revised copy, not the original. I wrote a review here:

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

but there are major spoilers, so don't read it if you don't want to know.

Rachael, where is your BDB thread? I'll chat Brothers with you ;)


message 292: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments I was looking for your thread, too, Rach. Be sure and put it in this folder, the OFF TOPIC NON-Kleypas folder.


message 293: by Alycia (new)

Alycia | 1478 comments Speaking of BDB, Uniquely Moi, have you been on the message boards lately? Anything interesting going on?


message 294: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments You know, I haven't been over there in a long time... the last time I posted stuff over on Updates From The WARDen in the BDB group. That thread was deleted, but no one knows how or why, not even Otis knows who did it and he said that he checked and there was nothing wrong with anything. Everyone posted so many good things there, it's a shame it got pulled.


message 295: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl (ghemomma) | 900 comments I have been on a roll this week! I read two great books in a row- The Raven Prince and And Then He Kissed Her! They were both excellent and I recommend both of them to everyone!

I also ordered some books online and am anxiously awaiting their arrival- Everything Forbidden, Something Reckless and Taboo all by Jess Michaels and I ordered The Bronze Horseman.


message 296: by Alycia (new)

Alycia | 1478 comments I saw that. :( I hope it was an accident and not someone being mean. You started that thread a while ago and it was pretty active, I agree with you there were so many good things there. Well, I'll have to go lurking one day. I may find something good, I am hoping for a live chat after Lover Mine is released.

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Cheryl, I was told by a little birdy that Nothing Denied has some... *clears throat* backdoor visitors. Just wanted to pass that along.
