Random Book List #341 (ends June 25)
Random Book List #166I finished reading Lover Reborn by J.R. Ward and I enjoyed it. The dialogue and pacing of these books get on my nerves after awhile. I rent them from the library on audio and this one was 19 discs so I had to listen to it over a couple of days. I'm definitely enjoying the series more now that I know the characters better. I gave it 4 stars.
Reread Dark Lover for Lover Mine by JR Ward. I'm now hooked with the BDB series and currently reading Lover Unbound.

Random Book List #171I finished reading No Good Duke Goes Unpunished by Sarah MacLean and I loved it! I like this series because the dialogue is so witty and the plots are interesting. They're historical fiction, but it doesn't bore you with all the details! The second book is still my favorite though but I enjoyed this one too. 5 stars!

Random Book List #176I finished reading
and it was a good finish to the trilogy. I hated 50 Shades of Gray but I gave the genre another chance and now I'm really enjoying it. The first book in this series seemed like a better re-write of 50SoG but it was nice that the other two books were different. I gave it 4 stars!

It's a little slower to develop than Lisa Kleypas book, but I enjoyed the story. I am about to start the next one, which is a novella (book 1.5)
*I also just bought
since you and Pat gave it glowing recommendations. I hope it lives up because I thought books 1 & 2 were kind of slow

First Night
is free on Amazon right now.I have both First Night and LoveLines so I will probably read one of them.
I finished First Night
today 5/4. Super short but a nice beginning to their story. Some annoying typos that were distracting, but otherwise good. 3.5*
I read
for Lovely Trigger. It was highly readable with some interesting characters but I felt there is just too much angst and drama to make it totally enjoyable for me. 4 stars.
Random Book List #181I finished reading
and really enjoyed it! The two main characters have fought throughout the series but now they need each other in more ways than one. It was interesting to read about the back stories of these two. Definately 5 stars!

Hey Jane. No worries. Life is keeping me busy, but I can still sneak in some reading. : )
Just finished reading
. Without taking it too seriously, I thought it was a fun, light-hearted read. 4 stars for me.
I finished
for
by Julie Ann Walker yesterday and gave it 3*. It was ok but didn't love it. I'll check the next book in the series though.
Gea wrote: "I finished

I read Archer's Voice and enjoyed it, although I wished there was a little less sex and more character development at the end. Mia Sheridan is a great writer and worth reading.
