Really didn't like the hero..."You're not at odd. I think the series is great, it'll fall flat if you're looking for BDB's continuation or BDB's intensity. But if you're reading the series by itself, it's has all the potential to be a great series. I loved it and can't wait for the next book.
I am either going ot read
or
Not sure which one I am going to read first. Any suggestions
Beth wrote: "I'm so glad. I think that I was hoping for more of a connection with the BDB books. It was my anticipation for the brothers to show up or something along those lines that did me in with this seri..."Beth, I'm sorry to tell you, there's no Brothers' connection, sorry. Now I understand why some authors write under different names, lol. That said, I think JR Ward has done an amazing job with these two series. It still has a long way to catch up with the Brothers but it'll get there...but two separate storylines.
I really like JR Ward so I will keep going with the series juse because I like her so much.

The No'One romance does make sense, and I think it's a pretty cool idea if she does do that. It would bring everything full circle - John Matthew/Darius and Xhex, and Tohr and No'One....I read on her Facebook that for this book we needed to have tissues ready, so I'm sure there is going to be some heart-wrenching scenes , I'm guessing with Wellsie and Tohr. I liked Wellsie as a character - I hope we get to learn some of their backstory, like their courtship and what have you. I'm interested to see just exactly what Lassiter's deal is, as well. Wellsie sent him to Tohr, but we really don't know much about him, other than he likes bad TV, haha. Is it March yet?!?!

Beth wrote: "I really like JR Ward so I will keep going with the series juse because I like her so much."I hear you, that's why I stuck with the series. JR Ward, Karen Moning, J. Frost...so far are the authors I would read everything coming out from them. That's not to disrespect N.Singh, S.Kenyon, G.Showalter and many more...I just haven't gotten enough time.
Crazy4more wrote: "Anna wrote: "Hmm. Guess I'm the odd one out. I really enjoyed Covet and Crave. Didn't have a hard time getting into the new characters/world she created. Didn't care for Envy though. Really didn't ..."Must be it. I started it thinking it was a completely different series and not expecting any carry over really then was pleasantly surprised with the side characters from BDB that showed up.

Well I decided to read
first and then

I know lots of readers are outraged about the Tohr/No'One pair up but J R has really given us heaps of backstory in Lover Mine about why they might be a good match. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt till I read Lover Reborn... March is seeming ages away...
Beth wrote: "Finished Riley Jenson Book 2 and starting Unholy Ghost tomorrow. Hopefully will finish "last Breath" tonight."hey Beth, last breath as in Morganville Vampires? I finished bk 2 of night huntress last night & went down & got last breath about an hour ago so I have something I know I'll enjoy while im waiting for the 3rd night huntress to arrive at my door

You feel his struggle. The part where he is dreaming about Wellsie and then when he has to drink from the Chosen for the first time. I was driving and crying all over again. I cannot wait to get more backstory on he and Wellsie.

. It had great reviews. I think you gave it 4 or 5 stars.
Thoroughly enjoying the love triangle in this one.
I just finished Lord of the Vampire by Gena Showalter, which is part of the Royal House of Shadows. It was good, but not great, in my opinion. I did post my first review on that here.
Brought me back to the very beginning of it all. It was emotional for me :')

I did order the 2nd book cuz it's written Nalini Singh. I love her Archangel series.

I will look for that! I seriously need to re-read the series. There are so many aspects of the stories that I have forgotten.
Kim wrote: "Well I decided to read first and then ."Kim I loved the Goblin King. It was dark and delicious and reminded me alot of the Labrynth with David Bowie, who I enjoy! Hope you are liking.
I am trying to get the Hollow series started. Hopefully I can finish Book 1 by Sunday.
finished
don't know why it took me so long to read this but it won't take me two years to read the others lol. Now I'm reading
to finish this series out.
I just finished
& Now I'm reading
Yaaaaay! I'm excited to see what happens :)
I'm on a Shelly Laurenston/GA Aiken kick right now. Just finished up the Magnus Pack books and started in on the Dragon Kin ones.
and
. Not bad so far. Still love her Pride series more.

I have a friend who absolutely loved this series, but it was just okay for me. But it might be worth trying the first book to see on which side of the fence you fall. I preferred Lara Adrian, Shannon K. Butcher, and Larissa Ione, to name a few.
Beth, I agree it was a bit rushed. I have to read Jill Monroe next. Looking forward thought to Jess Andersen, as I love her Final Prophecy series. Not to mention Doc Jess is a hoot, her typos are super fun. lol

to read for my November challenge. Is the series good?

I actually really loved this series. They are "very" wordy, to be sure, but still good. Hope you enjoy!
I think I will start The Host today. Treat myself a little for the weekend.
Just started Moon Called and I'm really liking it so far. The only complaint I have is that the S names are too close for the guys, so it gets super confusing!

Oh I am liking very much, but the worse thing is that I am going to be finished soon.

Just finished this, so good she never fails to deliver,can't wait to the next one comes out
Just finished
and cant say anything about it here. Just starting Reckoning by Lilly St Crow.
I finished

How are u feeling, sug? Yes the Morganville series. I really enjoy it. I fell asleep instead of reading last nite. Darn it anyhow!
I just finished
and I loved it! I really wish I would have added the second book to one of my challenges for this month.Next is
, which I hear really good things about, so I'm excited to get started on it. I refuse to start it today though because if it's as good as I hear, I won't want to go out tonight then :)
Ellen, you are right about Fifty Shades. Once I started I read til I finished then didn't even wait a full 5 minutes before I cracked the spine on the second(actually it was more like powered on my reader, but you get the point)LOL
P.A. wrote: "Ellen, you are right about Fifty Shades. Once I started I read til I finished then didn't even wait a full 5 minutes before I cracked the spine on the second(actually it was more like powered on my..."I agree PA...once you start a good book it is hard to put it down and go do life....

Many a times, I've wandered around the house with my eyes glued to my ereader, bumping into things and knocking stuff over just because I don't want to stop reading. Let's not talk about how many times I've been late for the same reason :)

I didn't either! But there it is, on the 4 star shelf :) Can't wait for the next one!
Furthermore, I'm gonna go ahead an takes sides: TEAM AREN!

It's a sad thing when a good book comes to an end. Fortunately there is a sequel! Not sure when it's due out though, but definitely not soon enough. I'm glad you are liking!

Is Shades of Grey a PNR book?
No, Shades of Grey is not a PNR book. It's a contemporary romance. Well, I suck at putting books into correct genres, but that's what I would count it as. There are some BDSM aspects in it, but it's not huge. I LOVE it and wholeheartedly recommend it.As far as reading a good book and getting lost in it... I've gotten in trouble many times because I didn't clean for the day or finish dinner on time because I was so engrossed in a book LOL. I swear, when my kids want a snack again because they're hungry for the hundredth time that HOUR, I'll reply with, "Didn't I just feed you yesterday? What is this, a daily thing now?"
