Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments Yes, one a month. I read the next in the series this month as well, Midnight in Death which is book 7.5. I don't know if everyone else will read it. It's taking a lot out of me not to just go ahead and read the next one. This is a series I think I could read 3 or 4 in a row of before needing something else.

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 1416 comments I've only read one in the Cynster series, it was The Promise in a Kiss (Cynster, #7.5) by Stephanie Laurens . I started collecting the Cynster novelsa few years ago, have about 10 of 'em maybe, but I kept losing track of what ones I had and which ones I still needed. Then I went and got a few of the Bastion Club ones thinking they were ones I needed, got me all mixed up. One of these days I'm gonna sit down and go through my boxes of books and be sure of what I have lol. I do have Devil's Bride and A Rake's Vow (Cynster Series, Book 1 & 2) by Stephanie Laurens set up to finally read in a challenge, so will get to it soon. :)

Leslie, I've read a few of Stephanie Lauren's books, just starting on the Cynster series (I've only read the first and have the rest on my TBR shelf, so ready to go anytime if you wanted to buddy up for it?

rameau, that's a pity! The synopsis reads well. Do you get any say on what ARCs you get sent?


message 506: by Kit★ (new)

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 1416 comments I could do a buddy read of the first one for sure :)

I do, I request them from NetGalley and they either accept or decline my requests. A friend pointed this and another suspense romance to me and I thought I'd give them a try. It didn't start out as impossibly bad or I would have flounced early on. It just got steadily worse as the story progressed.

This is self-induced pain.

I just posted the review. I'm pretty tired though, and might edit it after I've slept and woken up again.

Sorry, CaroB, but my pulse rate about tripled when I got to that middle part. Whoa, baby. I thought the last one was good. But this one is about Roarke and Eve.

message 522: by Rachel the Book Harlot (last edited May 20, 2012 11:49AM) (new)

Rachel the Book Harlot This is another series I've had on my TBR forever. I really need to hunker down and start Book 1. I've heard so many great things about it...and Roarke. :)

My problem is that I'm kind of a slow reader (I'm realizing this as I do buddy reads) and I suffer from book A.D.D. - I'll have it set in my mind to start one book and then someone will make a post about a cool book and this will be me:

(view spoiler)

The next book on my scheduled TBR will be lost to me. It's a vicious cycle. I really need to work on this. lol


message 523: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments LOL! So CUTE, Rachel! I totally understand the ADD with regards to someone posting something about another book. Drives me crazy sometimes, as I don't want to miss out on the fun. ☺

lol same here, i've been really bad lately.I'm going to try and work my way through my tbr list before I add more but don't know how well i'll do.


message 526: by Carolyn F. (new)

Carolyn F. I'm reading The Principal's Office (DeKnight, #3) by Jasmine Haynes , I can't remember who recommended it to me but I'm enjoying it. It's more than just erotica novel, with some character development that I'm liking.

Okay, Kit★, I put it on the "buddy read" calendar for July 9th (after the holiday), with question marks after it... in case we move it around.

I'm also curious as to how Ann is liking the Black Tulip :)


message 540: by Elishia (new)

Elishia | 2620 comments Oh god this just reminded me I have loads of the Pink carnation books to read before the buddy read, think I'll have to put In death on hold till I've caught up. Think historical's take me longer to read because I always stop to look things up i'm not sure of (style of clothes etc). I'm still near the beginning of book 1.
