I am sorry it didn't work out for you. Hopefully you will like your next read more!

There's another series that I have on my list that I haven't started yet. Too many series, too little time.

Thanks! So far, so good. It's got a little suspense to the story line, and it's well thought out and executed nicely. Little over halfway, and I don't want to put it down. (Stupid job. Stupid need for money to live...and for books.) ;)
I've heard about but haven't read it. I'll be watching to see what you think.

 I don't add book to my to-read list anymore. I add them to my to-think-about list. I feel better this way. Only when I start a series the books go on my to read list. A long to read list makes me nervous!

Thanks - got your email. :) And I was surprised by this book, too. Not by the erotica or M/M/M (because, come on, it's me LOL) but the vested interest I had in the story. It had all the elements I love, and they came together beautifully.

I saw your rating for the Alien 'n' Outlaw book and added it to my TBR stack. Looks interesting!!

I really wanted to like it but, unfortunately, it didn't work for me. :( There are 2 things that happened in Book 2 that really put me off of the series.
Elishia wrote: @rachel is it a good series?
I loved the worldbuilding in Book 1 but I found Book 2 disappointing. However, it's gotten really high ratings so I might just be odd man out. Again. lol
So now I'm not sure what to read next. I think I might read
