Wait...

The blurbs make these books sound seriously heavy.

But...they're funny? I might reassess.

Bridget | 1517 comments So I just finished Lover Unbound (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #5) by J.R. Ward which I enjoyed very much. And The Other Fish in the Sea (Grab Your Pole, #2) by Jenn Cooksey which I absolutely loved and cannot believe that it ended that way! Ugh!! Hate waiting for the next one in a series!!

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments So currently in the midst of reading One Tiny Lie (Ten Tiny Breaths, #2) by K.A. Tucker and Epilogue (The Dark Duet, #3) by C.J. Roberts . Caleb is definitely winning LOL! Put One Tiny Lie on hold for him (yeah, big surprise huh?) but OTL was getting a little predictable so shelved it and moved onto Mr. Hottness.

That's good to hear. I just finished with book 5 and I'm still enjoying them, but not sure that I'll care as much when the stories of the original brotherhood members are through.

Oh my gosh! The ending to The Other Fish in the Sea was too much! I actually went back and re-read it. I was sure that hadn't just happened

Ah yes Bridget I totally understand. However darling, I've got 2 couples that can turn it around for you honey.

1. John Matthew & Xhex (hot damn hot freaking hot!)
2. Qhuinn & Blay (wow wow WTF oh yeah!)

The story for these two couples are unfreakingbelievable! The stories build along in the books prior to them and are so worth it. She had me waiting on bated breathe for the next book just to find out what was going to happen next for the characters. I do have to say that this is my favorite UF series. Aside from KMM's Fever series.
Lover Mine (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #8) by J.R. Ward is John Mattew's & Xhex's book
Lover At Last (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #11) by J.R. Ward is Qhuinn's & Blay's book

Yes. There are a few books in the middle that I didn't love in their entirety but still solid reads. And the fact that all of the characters and subplots keep evolving throughout each subsequent book keeps the reader engrossed.

I wouldn't say it was a bad ending. Not like some others. It's a twist that pretty much comes out of nowhere but it's worth it :)

I've mentioned this before, but I read so much that, by the time the next one comes out, I usually forget that I read the books in the first place and have toi re-read them (most of the time, all the books I read tend to blend together into one strange and very disjointed sage). So I wait.

I also hate cliffhangers, because I like closure when I read. The only books I've ever read that really embraced cliffhangers was the Sookie Stackhouse series, and for some reason I didn't mind those.

Awesome Tiana! Thanks so much for letting me know. I'm diving into it this weekend for sure and looking forward to it. Loved the first one. Such a unique story. Super excited :)

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Okay finished One Tiny Lie (Ten Tiny Breaths, #2) by K.A. Tucker and even though I LOVED TTB this second book was enjoyable enough. It was a 4 star read for me. Livie's story could never top her sister's. but it was still good in it's own right. And finished Epilogue (The Dark Duet, #3) by C.J. Roberts and LOVED LOVED! Goodness C.J. Roberts is brilliant! Absolutely blew me away. 3 for 3! Just when you think it's not possible for her to outdo SitD, BAM! She hits it out of the park with Epilogue. Bow down to another master. I plan on reading anything and everything she writes. Next up for me Being Me (Inside Out Trilogy, #2) by Lisa Renee Jones The Pirate's Wish (The Assassin's Curse, #2) by Cassandra Rose Clarke You Are Mine (Mine, #1) by Janeal Falor The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden, #2) by Julie Kagawa quite an ambitious plan I have for the next few days. Hopefully I can stay the course :)

So glad you enjoyed both of them!! I'm anxiously awaiting responses to Epilogue, CJ was really nervous it wouldn't be taken well and even some of my die-hard Dark Duet gals were having mixed feelings about it. I absolutely loved it like you, I think it was the perfect glimpse of their life in his eyes, from the mundane to the kinky! LOL

I've yet to get to Being Me, so I'll look forward to seeing what you think of that one!

Finished Officer Off Limits (Line of Duty, #3) by Tessa Bailey which I LOVED, it's another great sexy quick romance, and Feeling Death (The Death Trilogy #1) by D.T. Dyllin which was confusing as hell at first but turned out to be a really captivating steamy read!

Finishing up Mated to the Devil by Eve Langlais , which is a decent PNR for a short 200 pages. I think I'll grab up The Faerie Guardian (Creepy Hollow, #1) by Rachel Morgan next because I need a YA switch-up!
