Question: can I read Breach the first book in the series instead of reading Reciprocity. I'd like to start at the beginning of the series.

I agree!

Ok, great. Then I'll read Breach for ReciprocityETA: scratch that. I'll think about it since I got Clarification of the rules below.

If you read another title in the series, it's counted only if there is a tie.

Oh, thanks for the clarification, Fran. Back to the drawing board then.
I think i'm going to read either a Tessa Dare's Spindle Cove or a Jennifer Ashley book. Can't decide yet.

I've seen so many ties in the lists, and the tie breaking book helps the original title win and determine the next list :)
I read
. I'm not a huge fan of historicals because they are too stuffy usually, but I really enjoyed this one. Susanna was my type of heroine. She was intelligent and strong with a lot of sass. But, I also loved that she was coming into her own with her vulnerable side as well.Bram did a lot to piss me off but he grew on me. I really enjoyed the secondary characters as well, so I will definitely be continuing with this series at some point. I really have to know what happens next. This is 4 stars for me!
I inadvertently read Shadow Spell which fit this list - IDK, her PNR trilogies are all starting to sound the same - this one reminded me of the circle trilogy, with sign of seven mixed it - I'll probably read the 3rd one when it comes out, but it will be a library book - I gave this 2 stars
Random Book List #191I finished reading
and I liked it a lot more than the first installment. I learned more about the back stories of the past three witches and how they tied in with the current three witches. It reminds me less of Nora Robert's witch trilogies. I gave it four stars!

I finished
yesterday (8/2/14) and it was amazing! I never thought that Vasic would have so much depth, but I should have know that Nalini Singh can make me fall in a love with just about any character she writes.It's amazing that thirteen books in, Ms. Singh can still write such amazing stories and continue the plot that has had me intrigued since book one! I absolutely can not wait for this series to continue. A Huge *5 STARS* for me!!
I finished
during the weekend and I love it. I always have a special fondness for Singh's Psy heroes and Vasic has just joined the club. Another 5-star read.
I am reading
for the World Cup of Romance Reading Tournament , so might as well add this challenge to my challenge list too :) It is my first time participating in this challenge.
I read
and was pleasantly surprised. I enjoy reading friends-to-lovers romances but the whole "fake engagement" plot line had me worried. But this author made it work. It is well written, with great character development. I will definitely be looking to read more from this author. 4 ★.
Random Book List #196I finished reading

I read Crave The Night. I continue to enjoy the series.I'm stilling looking forward to seeing where the story is going.
Random Book List #201I finished reading Kiss of Midnight by Lara Adrian and gave it 3 stars. It was ok, but I felt like it was a J. R. Ward Black Dagger Brotherhood knock off and the alien thing was just a bit too over the top. Maybe the series will get better with the next couple of books, but so far it's just bleh...
