Easy - For those who've read the book (sorry Kelly :)(view spoiler)

Just finished
. Just terrible. I'm actually pretty upset that I bought it!I think any book I read after this one will be too good to be true.
That sucks. I guess they can't all be winners.
I like the exclamation point. Think positive!
Uhh. Good luck with that one. Lol!!i hear the series get better.
Just started reading
and am already contemplating whether to bang my head on the desk or reach into the story, grab the lead female and bang her head on the desk until she gets a brain... oh well, only 344 pages left :S
Lol, thanks Leea!Stacia - I am! I think anything will be better than The Deed.
I heard
is not that great either in terms of writing.
It's really not good, I'm quite sure the editors just skimmed it, saw there was a niche in the general public bookbuyers market and just wanted to fill it asap because I wouldn't hand in my A-Level English (or any subject) coursework written like that!Oh well, I'm hoping there are some redeeming features about it that I have yet to get around to reading.
I just finished
and the narration was so good that it took me until 75% of the book to realize the story wasn't that good. It was exciting at parts but the romance wasn't the type I like (man chasing woman while they bicker constantly.)

DG who is the narrator? Sounds like we should track down his other work.

"Good for you! I've been planning to read that novel for about a week now but I got sidetracked with reading Western/Marriage by Convenience-themed books. I'll probably start on this one once I got over my mania. :)
Yeah! Holly had some issues for sure. Okay I'm loving Easy. Tammera Webbers writing has improved or it's just the combination of Lucas/Landon, that's making me reorganizing my day to read longer. No we don't need food, well pick up pizza after swim ;) lol.
My laptop had to go back to the apple store. Ugh! Something is wrong with the plug where it connects to my computer and the charger. Who knows? At least this time my husband is taking care of it and I don't have to talk to the apple people. Although I have this feeling that Jim will come home with an iPad. Lol!

Leea, I'm about halfway through Easy and CAN NOT PUT IT DOWN! My lunch comprised just reading and no eating! Yeah, I totally agree with the others that this Webbers book is the best one so far.

I'm also thinking I need to confess an addiction to book reading. Lately, I can't seem to go one minute without having my face plastered in a book. Once I'm done, I'm avidly looking for my next read. Withdrawal is not an option. :)

I'm hooked, I love it and also can't put it down. Dang swim lessons are messing up my reading time. I'm about 65% done and it's really good.

Welcome to the group Sarah! It was a good book.
Ok, Leea, I now understand the doubt. Not a good book so far...
Kelly, we all hit those stages where we can't seem to read fast enough. Then real life smacks us and we have to pull back before the next addiction cycle starts. I've been reading a lot the past month because my husband's been working lots of extra hours. One of his crew quit recently, so he's been having to pick up the slack. It's great for my reading but terrible for my sanity because the kids act up more without a man in the house!
Finally unchained myself from computer long enough to start book. Yay! Sadly book was
with characters that I found irritating and an attraction that was waay too sudden. So bailed after 100 pages.
I'm started
for a buddy read w/Stacia. I also started a couple chapters of
last night.
I will be starting Gio tonight (with Kay of course). I'm going to try and push through Golden Lily first.
How is Golden Lily so far? Better than the first one?
I'm liking it but I don't think it's any better/worse than the first one so far. We'll see after I'm finished if it ends up being better but even if it's not, I doubt I'll go under 4 stars. Either way, it's another solid book from Mead. Adrian is in fine form.
Adrian is attractive to me but I still <3 Dimitri! I'm glad to hear that it's another solid book. I like Mead's writing style. I hope to start it sometime next week.
I love Adrian. I'm starting Golden Lily tomorrow and I can't wait for more Adrian.

"Sorry to hear that your husband has been working so hard lately. That's tough on your family. But it is good that you can find a silver lining it in all.
I won't see my husband for another two weeks (haven't seen him since May 30), so I'm sure that has something to do with my reading addiction. I'm sure during the month of July (he'll be home for the entire month before relocating to another base) my reading will drop off significantly.

Ahhh... I'm at 87%. So close and I can't wait to see how this ends. Is this book a stand alone or will there be another? Anyone know?
Stacia, i'm so sorry your husband has been working so much. At least you've been getting more reading done ;)
True. I like reading but I miss our routine too. It's weird having him come home close to bedtime.As far as I know, the book is a standalone, which I think works. I liked the book but didn't love it to the point of wanting to explore the characters' lives beyond what happened in that story. I felt like the closure was good.

Dimka will always be my number one but Adrian's humor makes up for the Dimitri hole.
Sorry Stacia and Kelly, that sucks. :( sometimes it is a relief to have time on your own, but over and over again is too much.Glad you are all starting #5, I am interested to see what you think about this one and the heroine.
I finished
and really liked it. I am in the same dilemma again for #3, all of my libraries only have the audio on tape cassette (really?) and my overdrives do not have the audio -- AND audible has it for 2 credits. So frustrating!
I ended up reading
spur of the moment today because the closest reader to where I was sitting didn't have my current book on it. This one was good but I liked the first better. The ending was another shocker though.

Welcome Sarah! You will love it once you start Easy :)
Finished
and I loved it! My favorite book by Webber so far. I can't wait to see what she writes next, one of my favorite YA authors for sure.Starting
I'm really excited because i've grown to love KA as an author and this series is longer, I think 6 or more books. I'm so excited to see what all the fuss is about :)I've been on a huge contemporary romance kick and why stop now. lol! Maybe it's the summer or just that we're so busy, I don't know?!?!
Finished
. I did not like it....haha, that's all I have to say. There were some moments that were nice, but the book as a whole? Not my cup of tea. No development at all, in anything really!Now I'm going to start
!
Yeah I didn't like that book either. Good luck with Silence in the Mist ;)
well, ROCKS! I laughed so hard at the first chapter. Oh. My. I had tears in my eyes. I'm devouring this book. It kept me up last night and I was up at 5am wanting to read more.
I'm going to have to check this one out...

I thought the characters were really well written, but I agree I preferred 1. 4 is my favorite though! I can't wait unti you get there. I may wait to read 5 with all of you.
I still need to get 4 and 5. I keep meaning to go over and price them.
For awhile 5 was free through Prime, but it isn't any longer.

Meme, felt the same way about her Sweet series. That's why Colters' Women was such a surprise to me. Have you read them all? I'm curious about Coulters' Daughter.
