Randi | 119 comments Perfect! I just started reading Captive in the Dark (The Dark Duet, #1) by CJ Roberts , the first one in the series tonight so I'll read that one for Seduced in the Dark (The Dark Duet, #2) by CJ Roberts


message 503: by Dragana (new)

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) I think I am going to skip this list. I don't see anything that tempts me to read it. :(

Ty  | 1943 comments Wow, there's a lot on this list already on my TBR... gotta ponder this a bit more. :D

Fran | 12278 comments I am going to read Vanilla on Top (Walk on the Wild Side, #1) by C.J. Ellisson .

Charlene (charley627) | 130 comments I am in. I am going to read Undeniably Yours (Kowalski Family, #2) by Shannon Stacey

Finished 2/24/13, **** really cute book. I loved the pregnancy, brought back many fond memories. You had to really love Kevin Kowalski and his infinite patience and determination to have the girl he loved. I would certainly read other books by Ms. Stacey.


message 507: by Randi (last edited Feb 18, 2013 07:43PM) (new)

Randi | 119 comments So I finished the book Captive in the Dark (The Dark Duet, #1) by C.J. Roberts like last week on 13th. I give this ****. It's not easy to get into if people aren't usually reading non-consensual stories. However, I definitely can understand why ladies went nuts for the kidnapper in their reviews for most of the part.... So ****


message 508: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Finished Seduction and Snacks (Chocolate Lovers, #1) by Tara Sivec last night. A light-hearted romance with plenty of funny moments. Kept me grinning all throughout. 4 stars.


message 509: by Dragana (new)

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) I said that I will skip then list and then I noticed that I unintentionally read a book from it. LOL

Tempting the Player (Gamble Brothers, #2) by J. Lynn read at Feb. 20. ★★★
Cute romance book, I may have given it bigger rating if I did not read book #1 just before that and where Bridget (heroine) seemed so quirky and independent and I rushed to book #2 because I could not wait to read her story. I expected take-charge kind of heroine, so I was disappointed when she turned out to be mushy and sentimental.

BTW I also read Tempting the Best Man (Gamble Brothers, #1) by J. Lynn at Feb. 19 ★★★
A cute romance story with a nice buildup (it's so refreshing when characters don't just fall into bed).

Elizabeth (elizabeth_greece) | 1918 comments Just finished Seduction and Snacks (Chocolate Lovers, #1) by Tara Sivec by Tara Sivec, 2.5 stars, not fond of this kind of humor


message 511: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments I read Vanilla on Top 3/8. 3.5*

I really liked the premise- woman takes charge of her sexuality and goes after what she wants, pushing herself to fake an air of confidence and control with the guy she wants and eventually becomes more sure of herself for real. A little slow in the middle, got somewhat bogged down with business/work entanglements between the H/h, but overall I liked it.


message 512: by Ty (new)

Ty  | 1943 comments finished Undeniably Yours (Kowalski Family, #2) by Shannon Stacey today. 4 stars!

really liked it much better than the first, although Kevin seemed a little too perfect to be true in the beginning. But the family became a little bit more endearing in this one. Definitely gonna continue the series!

Ty  | 1943 comments Finished More than Meets the Ink (Bowen, #1) by Elle Aycart for Heavy Issues (Bowen, #2) by Elle Aycart today. 2.5 stars
The heroine was so supremely slap-worthy. Spent much of the book wishing the stalker would get her... I know.... Evil....


message 522: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 2657 comments Finished Backstage Pass (Sinners on Tour, #1) by Olivia Cunning . It was a 2.5 stars for me. I didn't enjoy it as it was just good sex and thin plot all the way through. I do have book 2 and will try it before making a decision on the Sinner series. But Myrna just seemed like an older groupie who passed judgement on younger groupies once she (Myrna) got in the bands inner circle

I totally agree, I think the next one is a little better (not much - maybe 1/2 to 1 star)


message 524: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 2657 comments Thanks Elizabeth. Then I will make sure it's on the bottom of the TBR pile


message 525: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I finished Rock Hard (Sinners on Tour, #2) by Olivia Cunning for Backstage Pass (Sinners on Tour, #1) by Olivia Cunning last April 1. I didn't like this as much as Backstage Pass, mainly, because I didn't like Jessica. Still I enjoyed reading about the Sinners and will probably continue reading the series.

3 stars.

I read Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler and it was really good. I had a hard time getting into it in the beginning and I was listening to it on audio but it was still really good. Reminded me of my first love and first heartbreak. I gave it 4 stars.

I finished reading Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella and it was great! I know a TV show was made with Christina Applegate that was very similar to this, but I can't remember if it was Sophie Kinsella or Cecelia Ahern. Anywho, it was very good! 5 Stars!
