Random Book List #340 (ends June 18)
I am in. I am going to read
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.
So I finished the book
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 ****
Finished
last night. A light-hearted romance with plenty of funny moments. Kept me grinning all throughout. 4 stars.
I said that I will skip then list and then I noticed that I unintentionally read a book from it. LOL
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
at Feb. 19 ★★★A cute romance story with a nice buildup (it's so refreshing when characters don't just fall into bed).
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.
finished
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!

I got it on kindle AND audio at an amazon kindle deal of the day. But I also want to read
Finished
for
today. 2.5 starsThe heroine was so supremely slap-worthy. Spent much of the book wishing the stalker would get her... I know.... Evil....
Finished
. 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 finished

Random Book List #125I 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
