Glad to hear you liked it Ty! I am starting this one in the next few days :)


message 557: by Ty (new)

Ty  | 1943 comments It was a quick read. I was a little apprehensive at first - more of a oh no, please don't let this be a teeny bopper story. But most Entangled books I've read have actually been pretty decent.

This week I read Rush (Breathless, #1) by Maya Banks and I enjoyed it! It's nice to read a BDSM book that didn't irritate me like Fifty Shades. If I heard "Oh My" one more time, I was going to start ripping pages.

Yz, I haven't read this one yet but I think that you should have read The Dream man series first, as many characters appear in this book.

I'll keep that in mind next time I pick up a Kristen Ashley book. I just have a hard time with the way the characters talk.
