. Great sci-fi erotica! The world she created was intricate and seamless...and hot. *fans self* I'll be reading the next one very soon. This morning I read a quick short
. Only 14 pages, and I connected more with the protag in this story, than I do in most books! I even got chest-squeezing-angst-feeling at one point. Yeah...in 14 pages. LOL Starting on
now. It's a good start so far.

Glad you enjoyed it, ShoSho! It's hard to find a short with any real depth. I was plesantly surprised. :)

Yeah, it took me awhile to get used to the first person present tense (I'm usually not a fan), but I liked being in Gent's head, so I was able to let it go. :)

The Burn looks like something I should check out. Creepy and weird actually sound good to me! LOL

LOL! Sometimes a change of genre does wonders!
Okay, I'm trying
and I just can't get into it! I'm not loving the characters. The fact that I'm not too crazy about 1st person doesn't help either.
Everyone and their uncle has told me this is a great read...I'm about 70 pages in right now. To anyone else out there that has read it - should I keep going? Is it just a slow start? I'm thinking about putting it aside for a while and starting something else.

That's a bummer you can't get into :( I absolutely loved this book and everyone I've recommended it to has loved and couldn't put it down. It's not a series so it does end which is sometimes a good thing. Maybe you don't like how grumpy/pessimistic the main character is?? She doesn't change much throughout but I just fell in love with Braden. I love the whole accent thing he had going on. I don't know why because the two are completely different but did you ever see Leap Year w/ Amy Adams? Braden reminds me of the main character, Declan, in that movie - maybe watching it will inspire you??
So read half of
this weekend. It's taking me forever, it's really slow but I'm bound a determined to finally finish it. I want to start

You're right...I don't like the main character too much. She does seem a little rough around the edges. I'll read a little bit further and see if it picks up for me.

I LOVED Gabriel's Inferno... I read it as a fanfic as well but I found the book to be really different ... Haven't gotten around to reading
yet

It's getting weirder and creepier !!! I'm at 53% and I don't see where it's going and how it's going to end well!! I'll let you know when I'm finished.

Any good? I read a few pages ages ago and stopped but I want to read the others so i'll have to try it again. Plus I like Lisa Kleypas now.
I complained in my status update that it was slow and nothing was happening. Shosho pointed out that nothing happens until she grows up (she's 14 or 15 when it starts). She better grow up soon, I'm bored.
I kept wondering why she was talking like she was a baby but was told after that she was actually young in it.
Yes, the first part of that book is suuuuuuuuuuuper slow. It does get better. The second book is one of my favorite Kleypas books!
Megan, I actually went looking for your review on this one cause I know it turns into a triangle. LOL I love LK and even though it's slow, I'm enjoying it.

and normally I really like her books - they are all extreme erotica but this one just left me sad and confused. I think I'm going to finish up
now.

Good to know about North of Need, I will have to look into :)

Just started
. The first book was pretty good. People have told me this one is even better. *fingers crossed*

Nope, no rain, sunny and cloudy, but quite breezy. I love this time of year. We've been sleeping with the window open for the last week.

I was finally able to finish
. I liked it but I felt like it lacked something that kept it from becoming the awesome book it could have been. It has sooo many great elements but I feel like it needed something to pull it all together. I'm definitely going to read Book 2 because I've heard Book 1 is the weakest and the series gets better as it goes.

if you like Elizabeth Reyes this is a great book! I loved it. Went well to finish up the Moreno Brothers series.
