Fran | 12278 comments I finished Foreplay Foreplay (The Ivy Chronicles, #1) by Sophie Jordan for Tease yesterday, 8/22.

I liked it, it was a fast read that kept my attention. However, it seemed like I've read the same storyline before. Shy, inexperienced, damaged college girl meets hot, damaged bartender. Conflict and sparks ensue. I think I need to take a rest from college-aged angst for awhile, lol. But it is well-written and Reese is sweet. 3.5*

Gea (gea89) | 545 comments I also finished Foreplay (The Ivy Chronicles, #1) by Sophie Jordan and it was a nice quick read - 4 stars

I was supposed to be listening to the sequel but got side tracked. I can't wait to start it either.

I read Reckless by Skye Jordan and gave it 3 stars! Whew, this was steamy! Plus it was cheap! Free on Kindle with a 1.99 upgrade on Audible :) Loved the hot scenes and the main characters were interesting even if the way they met was not completely believable. However, I enjoyed it!

message 864: by Dragana (new)

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) These ebooks are currently FREE for Kindle: Tucker (The Family Simon, #1) by Juliana Stone & Beauty from Pain (Beauty, #1) by Georgia Cates .
=============
If someone is undecided, here is RECOMMENDATION from me. Both Wallbanger (humor, adult, contemporary romance, made me lol so many times) & Easy (new adult, college, sweet romance, good message) are very good.
============
I miss these challenges so I am going to participate. Currently I am undecided between Heroes Are My Weakness (which I already own) and Alias Hook (which I just discovered and it tempts my fairy-tale-retelling-lovin-soul). :)


message 865: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Thanks for the info, Dragana.

I'm heading to Amazon to pick up those freebies.

I second the rec for Wallbanger (Cocktail, #1) by Alice Clayton . Totally fun book to read. I'm thinking of reading the third book in the series, Screwdrivered (Cocktail, #3) by Alice Clayton for this list.

message 868: by Sassafrass (new)

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments I finished Heroes Are My Weakness by Susan Elizabeth Phillips on 9/21/14 and I was a bit let down. the beginning was SLOW, I mean SLOW and the story lines were all over the place but it all came together at the end. I give it *3 STARS*


message 869: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (last edited Oct 14, 2014 06:53PM) (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I finished Tucker (The Family Simon, #1) by Juliana Stone yesterday. I thought it was pretty much a typical contemporary romance with all the elements that make that genre a relaxing read. Enjoyable but not entirely memorable. However, intriguing enough to check out the next book since it is obviously going to be a series based on the Simon family. 4 stars.


message 870: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) I'm going with Tucker (The Family Simon, #1) by Juliana Stone


message 871: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (vampiregoth28) | 265 comments Finished Alias Hook by Lisa Jensen , 4½ ★! Really loved this different take on Captain Hook and Peter Pan. It covers a longer amount of time then I expected, but offers backstory for Hook and shows a very different view of Pan that I hadn't thought about. Children can be cruel and Pan is forever a child - that isn't something I thought off before this book.

Elizabeth (elizabeth_greece) | 1918 comments I finished Heroes Are My Weakness by Susan Elizabeth Phillips by Susan Elizabeth Phillips yesterday, 3.5*.


message 873: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Forgot to mention that I also read Screwdrivered (Cocktail, #3) by Alice Clayton for this list. Not as good as Wallbanger, but better than the second book. 4 stars.

Cassandra (vampiregoth28) | 265 comments I'll read Dare You To (Pushing the Limits, #2) by Katie McGarry for Take Me On (Pushing the Limits, #4) by Katie McGarry . I might also read The Bees by Laline Paull


message 880: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (vampiregoth28) | 265 comments Read Dare You To (Pushing the Limits, #2) by Katie McGarry for Take Me On (Pushing the Limits, #4) by Katie McGarry , 5★. Loved it just as much as the first one, Pushing the Limits. I loved Beth in that one and I'm glad she got her own book, even if it wasn't her with Isiah like I'd expected after reading Pushing the Limits.
I also read Crossing the Line (Pushing the Limits, #1.1) by Katie McGarry which got 3½★. I didn't really remember Lila from the first book, so I felt a little disconnected. I didn't say I'd read this one, so I'm not sure it counts.

Hi Cassandra!

You don't have to post what you will be reading in advance, so it will definitely be counted. You just needed to post your completed titles :)

I didn't think so, but I wasn't completely sure either way. Thanks, Fran!

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments I read Strike Out (Texas Titans, #1) by Cheryl Douglas Strike Out for this one. It was free and I had it. It was OK. The whole secret kid thing has been done before and it's been done better. it's also been done a whole lot worse.

It was a quick read and it was fun, but it's not something that I'm chomping at the bit to read again or continue on with the series. *3 STARS* overall.

Silk Is for Seduction (The Dressmakers, #1) by Loretta Chase

I like Historical Fiction books with really strong leading ladies! This novel was similiar to Sarah Morgan and I really enjoyed it. The scenes were steamy and the dialogue was humorous. Definately a five star read!

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments I read The Practice Proposal (Suddenly Smitten, #1) by Tracy March on 12/16/14 because after Fran mentioned that it had been a freebie, I checked and I had it too.

This was a cute read. I liked the baseball theme (my favorite sport), and I liked the character. The war between the O's and the Nat's added a lot of realism to the story, and I really liked the way it ended.

I think I'll end up continuing on with this series.

*4 STARS* for me.


message 895: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1245 comments I finished The Vixen and the Vet by Katy Regnery The Vixen and the Vet late last night. It was just okay for me. 2 stars.

I haven't read a contemporary romance in awhile and now I remember why. ;) This was loosely a Beauty and the Beast story. The maid was even named Miss Potts. {eye roll} Mostly it was the whole "I think I love him, but it is way too soon to be love so I'll do stupid things and say stupid things until I realize it is really love and then do anything I can to prove I'm worthy" I borrowed it for free so no regrets!

Suzanne (esmerelda1) | 2244 comments "Random Book List #213"

I finished Perfect Pitch (The Diamond Brides #1) by Mindy Klasky and it was ok. I gave it three stars, it wasn't super steamy and kinda short. It was alright.

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I read Jabril (Vampires in America, #2) by D.B. Reynolds 11/30 5* and really enjoyed it. Even though I read the first book a long time ago, I had no trouble continuing the story...and I like how bad-ass the heroine is.

I also read The Vixen and the Vet by Katy Regnery 11/28 4*...I thought it was a fun read...although I feel the language was a little dated and unnatural...and though the characters are supposed to be older, their actions feel pretty immature.
