Will was her perfect match. Perfect everything. Will Will Will. Gah! That ending still gets to me. Will fan for life.
Erin wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Regarding the Shatter Me discussion, hasn't everyone noticed that the book titles have corresponded to the Juliette/Warner relationship? Besides Fracture Me. The titles (shatter me..."Exactly Erin. I don't think those titles were only to Warner. I think Ignite Me can be either way. I don't care, speaking to you only....as a fellow Adam fan, those titles are so not geared towards just one guy. Honestly, I'm such a f**king ranting bitch right now. I don't even care. Not even a little bit. Because it's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. Ha. Whatever. I'm holding onto hope that Adam gets the girl or she ends up alone. I couldn't care less at this point. I bet that by the time IM actually releases, I won't give a rats ass anymore. We'll see. lol Love ya Erin :)
Okay so I finished
and HOLY HADES! This was super duper hot! Went into this without reading any reviews. It certainly held my attention LOL! Also finished
and another good start to a new series for me. Really liked the characters and the story. Now reading
very good so far. Merry Christmas everyone!

Plus why does his brother only fall for the same girl?!

I rarely like to read books by authors where each book is different protagonists, that's why I stopped with Feral Sins by Suzanne Wright. I read the next one but...I just couldn't continue on. I think Kristen Ashley's series are like that too:( I'm quirky that way.

I admit, once I fall in love with a couple I'd like to at least have them make appearances throughout the series if their story isn't the main focus. So I do understand where you're coming from in that regard.
Erin wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Regarding the Shatter Me discussion, hasn't everyone noticed that the book titles have corresponded to the Juliette/Warner relationship? Besides Fracture Me. The titles (shatter me..."Honestly, I'm team nothing, like I don't even care who she ends up but that was just my theory. I understand that Adam/Juliette were built up in SM and I do think that if Mafi wanted Warner/Juliette she should've made it more clear in SM and not just the other books. On another note, the last book is titled Ignite Me and Warner has a tattoo that says Ignite. I was just putting pieces together.
@Belkis and Bridget - Yes A place to Call Home is VERy Very Very veeerrryyyy much like SGT. I can say its mixed up a bit but yeah so far its really the same story.Its a 14 hrs 45 mins and Im 5 hrs in a lot is the same even the part in SGT where she says she was going to fix him.. in this book she tells her mom he is her "project". But I have to say I still loved SGT more even at this point. Bridget wrote: "Laura wrote: "Started
its been mentioned in many reviews of 
that they are very similar and well lets face it who did..."
I noticed and Im team neither Adam nor Warner but IF you pay attention yeah at some point in each book the book titles are said aboutor to Warner or Juliette and Yes Ignite me instantly reminded me about Warners tattoo "Ignite" I think She will end up with Warner but who knows Mafi could fool us all and her end up with neither... Personally I dont think there was ever a "real" relationship between Adam and Juliette it felt more like a Protector from Adams side and like Juliette just wanted someone,anyone that was interested in her. I dont think no matter what team you are that you can deny the spark between Juliette and Warner... Seems to be more so than with Adam. But thats just MY opinion.Michelle wrote: "Regarding the Shatter Me discussion, hasn't everyone noticed that the book titles have corresponded to the Juliette/Warner relationship?

Aint that the truth a character or a book/series always gets bashed by someone who didnt like it. I just have to agree to disagree LOL Ya know like our two different opinions on ya know that one book ..... Ya know LOL Taking ChancesErin wrote: "Tiana411 wrote: "Erin wrote: "Annie wrote: "@ Erin, I love that we feel the same about this love triangle BS! It's pissing me off.

just started
and since I've already read the other four books in the series I know it's gonna be amazing
Mod
and wow, didn't see that coming. Not even a minute. I am almost finished listening to 
and reading [bookcover:Dare You ..."I LOVED Dare You to!!! Mmmm…Ryan!
Mod
and now I am finally starting
!"I really have to read Sweet Peril. I liked Sweet Evil enough, although not as much as everyone else seemed to like it.
Oh, and I also started
, I have been waiting to read this for quite some time since the author is a friend of mine from fanfiction and she writes pure awesomeness. I've never read something she wrote that I didn't love so I'm very giddy about her debut novel.Hope you all give it a try.

Kitlina wrote: "Oh, and I also started , I have been waiting to read this for quite some time since the author is a friend of mine from fanfiction and she writes pure awesome..."Ohhh, will have to add this one to my TBR then :)

You're not alone hun, I didn't care for Sweet Evil either.

And we truly LOVE LOVE SGT, you know??
Laura wrote: "I noticed and Im team neither Adam nor Warner but IF you pay attention yeah at some point in each book the book titles are said aboutor to Warner or Juliette and Yes Ignite me instantly reminded me..."I have to say that I'm in the same boat on this one. I'm really just enjoying the story and how well it's written. Loving how Mafi develops both the characters and the story. I really like that we've gotten to see all of their flaws and strengths and vulnerabilities and feelings. And I don't think I'll mind who ends with who. Maybe they all need time on their own to work out their individual issues LOL!
So I finished
and it was hilarious. Love Drew! Also finished
and really enjoyed it. Another good start to a new Gena Showalter series for me. Will be continuing this one for sure. Almost done with
and also enjoying it very much. My first Lora Leigh book and will be continuing this series too. I have to say I enjoyed this one way way more that I did
which I did not care for at all. Next up for me is
to continue with my re-read of Cat & Bones because you can never have too much of them!
Participating in another readathon starting today! On this one, I'm focusing on my library books! I have 7 that I want to get read and returned in the next week!!
Belkis wrote: "Danielle wrote: "Ok to comment regarding shatter me series, idk who I want Juilette to end up with. Both Adam and Warner have their good points and their bad points, and I am just not sure who'd I ..."Yes, I liked the concept, but I didn't feel the end of the series tied up loose ends too well. Here could have been more story to tell.
So I didn't finish
yet, I got partially...ok so like 2 chapters in it, but a few other books decided they wanted my attention more so I finally read
which is breeds 3. I did like it, but there was definitely more story than hot sex which is ok. But comparing to the last two it was different there wasn't a frenzy. At least it seemed like there wasn't. I also finally finished
right that's Treys story. I liked it, I was glad he could find a relationship to work but was severely unhappy with the ending. It was like uh there was going to be more and we stopped here. We didn't get too much touring info this time around either. Lots of bedroom scenes, but not enough to know about how Reagan did on tour with the band, and how the fans reacted to her. We had all this build up in the first two books about the fans and what they do and how they act but barely saw any of that in this book. Overall I still loved it, but wish it was better lol.So I think I'm going to start breeds 4 and read torn.

and now I am finally starting

Sweet Evil was just OK for me Belkis but the second one was a lot better

I couldn't get into the story or characters in the first one Tracy.
Danielle wrote: "So I didn't finish yet, I got partially...ok so like 2 chapters in it, but a few other books decided they wanted my attention more so I finally read [bookcover:Elizabeth's..."Oh good to hear Danielle because I'm looking forward to the rest of the Breeds books :) still have to start the Sinners On Tour series too. Way too many books to read and not enough time to read them :D

Wow Jenny, that's quite a reading lineup you've got there. Hope you can get through them all in time :)
Belkis wrote: "Danielle wrote: "So I didn't finish yet, I got partially...ok so like 2 chapters in it, but a few other books decided they wanted my attention more so I finally read [book..." I know, it's crazy. I have so many books I want to read, and I just want to power read all the time.So I might have to shift around not sure yet. But my lib just told me by ebook hold is ready for me, so I might be reading [bookcover:Just Listen|51738] somewhere in there too. I only have it checked out for 14 days but that's not too bad I can knock it out. Torn is due first so I might need to read that since I also checked out twisted which is the second book for torn.
i finished a couple of books which weren't that good except for a couple..
that was 5 stars
3 out of 5 stars
4 out of 5 stars
just finished with
and it was such a fast and refreshing read. you just need to read it just for the sake of restoring your brain when other books clutter it :) it really was very nice
Yes I believe it is worth a read! Its a two part story and the first half is very much TSGT a little different but still very much the same. The second half is a bit different but again a lot of the same elements.He comes back buys property and starts building a house and so on but Its not quite the love story TSGT is!

Agreed Sweet Evil was ok but took me a few days to read it.well actually I tried it a few times and never got past the first few chapters then I finally pushed through. Now that Im invested in the story I need to get to Sweet Peril.Belkis wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Kelsey wrote: "after a long reading funk I finished

I finished
earlier and really liked it a lot. My first Lora Leigh book! Will definitely be reading the others in the series. Now starting
and continuing along with my Cat & Bones reread
planning to be nice and refreshed for the release of
on January 28!!

Mel wrote: "Finished and no..."So what did you think of the Switched trilogy? Did you like how it ended?
So I finished
and wow! What a great end to an even greater series!! Loved it!
Finished
was very much the same story as
some different elements and not quite all the love story and heartbreak TSGT was.But still a very good read/listen. I would still very much recommend it because it does have some very different situations. Yet if you have read TSGT you will still be able to tie the story all together and understand how the story of TSGT was switched up from this book.
*Note I listened to this on Audio and really did not care for the narrator at all. She has a very nasilly sounding voice and she takes these breaths that sound like shes slurping - so I think I would suggest reading it rather than listening to it.
Now im starting the Trylle Trilogy on audio
Im going to skim the last book just to get ready for Up From The Grave but not til next month.Belkis wrote: "I finished

I totally love Marie Hall's Kingdom series. Nearly finished with
and loving it.
Bridget wrote: "So I finished and wow! What a great end to an even greater series!! Loved it!"I'm so sorry to see it end, although she did a great job at it. I'm hoping for some spin offs, besides the Seven series (which so far, I'm loving).

I have to get back to the Mageri series. I read the first book and liked it a lot but haven't been able to get back to it. Also bought Seven, it looks very good. Need to read it as well. Too many books, sigh....

Okay, so the issue with that would be that those of us who raved about Adam in SM would have had no clue that when she said "shatter me" to Warner (or vice versa, I didn't notice this) that meant they were going to be a couple! Sure, if that was the plan all along, I would have liked to have been clued in. I wouldn't have wasted my time daydreaming about an Adam/Juliette HEA. =/
