Sassafrass, you can read any book in the series

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments Ok, great. Then I'll read Breach for Reciprocity

ETA: scratch that. I'll think about it since I got Clarification of the rules below.

You can read any book in the series, but only the actual title in the list will count towards the total. 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.

Sass, sometimes the books in the series that are only used for tie breakers actually get used! I've seen so many ties in the lists, and the tie breaking book helps the original title win and determine the next list :)


message 965: by Sassafrass (new)

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments I'm going to read A Night to Surrender for this one. I guess I'll save breach for another time.


message 966: by Sassafrass (last edited Jul 06, 2014 06:21PM) (new)

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments I read A Night to Surrender (Spindle Cove, #1) by Tessa Dare . 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!

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments 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


message 968: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (elizabeth_greece) | 1918 comments Currently reading París by Edward Rutherfurd but I won't be able to finish on time.

Suzanne (esmerelda1) | 2244 comments Random Book List #191

I finished reading Shadow Spell (The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy, #2) by Nora Roberts 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!

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments I finished Shield of Winter (Psy-Changeling, #13) by Nalini Singh 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!!

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I finished Shield of Winter (Psy-Changeling, #13) by Nalini Singh 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.

message 981: by Margaret (new)

Margaret | 354 comments I read Falling for Her Fiance (Accidentally in Love, #1) by Cindi Madsen 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 ★.

Suzanne (esmerelda1) | 2244 comments Random Book List #201

I 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...
