Lauren (laurenjberman) Finished reading The Best Man (Blue Heron #1) by Kristan Higgins for Waiting On You (Blue Heron #3) by Kristan Higgins on July 8th (hope it still counts) - 5 Stars. Can't remember the last time a book made me laugh till I cried and cry till I laughed. Can't recommend it enough!

Fran | 12278 comments I am currently reading Fanning the Flames Fanning the Flames (Jackson Girls' Night Out, #0.5) by Victoria Dahl and loving it!

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments I finished Fanning the Flames (Jackson Girls' Night Out, #0.5) by Victoria Dahl today. I thought it was really cute. I like reading books with older main characters in them, probably because I'm getting up there myself. I really wish this had been longer, but it definitely got me interested enough to check out both of series connected to this story. *4 STARS*


Hey, Fran, I think we're book stalking each other! LOL

I am done and all I can say about Mystery Man is #dumbassho
but i have promised to read book 2 and 3 because people claim book 1 was the weakest in the series.
That book was barely a 3-star, barely!

message 724: by Vi (new)

Vi | 2794 comments I read Dare to Love (Dare to Love, #1) by Carly Phillips on 23 August. I read it for the BDSM portion of the Tournament. I can't say it is a mainstream BDSM novel though it did have certain elements. On the whole, an ok contemporary book. 2 stars

I just had to share the book I am reading right now, Deeper (Caroline & West, #1) by Robin York starts with a girl who breaks up with her boyfriend and he retaliates by posting her intimate pictures on social media. I am a mom, and I was thinking if that happened to my daughter, y'all might need bail money to get me out of jail. Anyway, my other thought was "why do you take them" so I am trying NOT to blame the victim here.


message 729: by Sassafrass (new)

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments I finished One Night of Sin (After Hours #1) by Elle Kennedy on 9/11/14, and I thought it was adorable. Probably not the words you'd expect me to use with a MMA fighter as the hero but it's true. I am going to continue this series because I loved the secondary characters just as much as the H/h in this book. *4 STARS*

Elle Kennedy seems to be one of those authors that just make stories work for me. I'm pretty sure out of all of the books I read by her, she hasn't let me down once.


message 730: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 2657 comments Finished Deeper (Caroline & West, #1) by Robin York on 9/11 gave it ★★★★. Listening to Harder (Caroline & West, #2) by Robin York next

I finished reading One Night of Sin by Elle Kennedy and I gave it ***. This book was pretty steamy, and I enjoyed it. Other than that it was ok. Enjoyable but not memorable in any way.

Ugh. That's just horrible. I have to agree though - my first thought pretty much is why do you take them? I don't get the appeal.

That was my reaction too, like "Why?" but no one said squat to the guy. He got the opposite, "oh man, she's got great tits...I'd bang her". He got Hi-fives.
No fair!


message 734: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 2657 comments Okay, I just finished Harder (Caroline & West, #2) by Robin York and I gave it ★★★. I liked it less than book 1. It went from REvenge porn into this angsty save the bad boy from his f'd up family drama story. The amount of time on the main issue of Revenge porn as 10%. I was a tad disappointed with the heroine

message 736: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (vampiregoth28) | 265 comments Yz, Salt & Storm by Kendall Kulper is due out the on the 23rd. Does it still count for this list? I double checked since the Goodreads page says it was first published last month, but that was a 11 chapter sampler. Thought I'd double check before I pick.


message 737: by Dragana (new)

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) I think since books from this list should be read starting from September 23rd, that it's not a problem. But that's just me. :)

That's kind of what I'm expecting the answer to be, but I wanted to make sure one way or the other before deciding on a book.

I didn't realize that its release date is the 23rd, but since that is the day the challenge begins, I think I will let it stand.

That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure. Oddly, I'm not sure which book to read for this one. I'm torn between three of them. It's going to depend on what I want to read when the time comes and if The Homecoming is available at the library.
One (or more?) of these
The Homecoming (Thunder Point, #6) by Robyn Carr Salt & Storm by Kendall Kulper A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall


message 743: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Same here. I can't decide what book to read for this list, although I got the freebie one that Fran mentioned.


message 744: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments I like the sound of A Little Something Different A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall but my library doesn't have it. I inter-library ordered it, but if it doesn't come in time, I am going with the freebie, Wildcard: Volume One.

message 747: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I started reading the freebie, Wildcard Volume One (Wildcard, #1) by Missy Johnson since it is the one I have at hand, and I was surprised how easy a read it is. Almost done with it, but dreading the 'expected' cliffhanger ending (since it is part of a trilogy, I sort of expect that).


message 748: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I might use this list as incentive to start C.J. Roberts' The Dark Duet.


message 749: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments I finished A Little Something Different A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall last night 10/5. I really enjoyed this sweet book. It was unique to watch two people's relationship (or non-relationship) unfold from 14 different perspectives. 4*
