What Are You Reading Now?
I can't wait for more of them!Regina, are they in another one?
Jules and Robin are serious favorites of Brockmann, so they appear as a couple in a few - -and they are in short stories. Also, the bad Adam has a short story that made me actually like him!
Got turned on to
My my. Nice steaminess but thought the case aspect somewhat obvious.
I've heard a lot of people really like those book tellulah!

How far did you get into Garden of Stones? I read the first 51 pages so far.
I read up to pg 61...ch 8. I'm going to stop there and most likely read only a little bit every day. I just don't think I can emotionally handle anything too crazy right now.
Well hold on honey because it's going to get crazy... Hope everything with you is okay :)
Thanks, Leea...I'm fine. I'm just nervous about the book and its topic.
I'm anxious too. I am wondering how the first chapter (you know what I mean) plays out with the rest of the book. This is not an easy topic to discuss and brings out strong emotions is people.
Hi everyone!I'm stil new here, and this is my first post not in the intro thread. I'm not reading anything right now, but I want to be. Nothing in the recommended is pulling me! I like a vairety, but I think I'm in the mood for not a full on erotica read, but something with maybe a bit of depth- does not have to be too much- and mabey one or to steamy scenes? I dunno... just a good read? A good story... Not in the mood for any sequals right now though. A good stand alone would make me smile!
Any suggestions would make my day! Thanks!

Hi, Melissa. :)
I just read On Dublin Street by Samantha Young, and I loved it! Rock Me by Cherrie Lynn is also a good read!
Welcome Melissa!For those who are reading
... how far are you? I'm on page 135, almost half way through and there have been some big revelations revealed that shocked me. I didn't expect a mystery... so this was a little different but i'm enjoying it. Even though the subject matter is hard to take.
I am glad it is good Leea! I may pick it up again. Did you see that it is Target's feature book?Angie, somehow I didn't realize those were the same authors!
Wendy you are right about Adam and Brockmann making it layered and complex -- I guess what she did with Mary Lou, right? I hate when authors make villains or the other woman/man black/white evil and good. It is way too simplistic.
So Leea and Wendy are you on a Troubleshooters break?
is good. There are only 2 TS books I didn't/couldn't re-read. And Into the Fire is one of them. I re-read the first 1/2, but somehow couldn't get through the 2nd half on my re-read. Maybe b/c I had only just read it the year before - I did really enjoy it the first time around and it is a good closure to some storylines! It has the HEA for Vinh Murphy (yay! he deserves it) and *drumroll* Dave! Also, there is a supah sexy scene with my favorite and yours .... Izzy!

Do you like new adult type books? If so I would say
Were on a break from the Troubleshooters unroll we read Adam and Tonys short. This weekend maybe. My oldest got sent home, stomach flu. It's crazy how much he's thrown up... Everywhere and even a little sip of water. Just when I thought we were all better and not sick. Ugh!! My washing machine has been going since 8am washing all the sheets and towels... Oh boy!
I am halfway through the audio of
and it is getting good, I have no idea where this is going! This is the uniquest zombie book I have ever read. I like the philopshy inserted in.I am halfway through
and am enjoying this series. It is the third -- decent romance/passion, good sci fi/ fantasy elements and the world is growing. It isn't like an oh-my-god-I-can't-stop-reading series, but it is good.

Oh no!! Poor little guy. :(

They aren't from the same author, Regina. I'm just pimping some of my favorite books. LOL
But I didn't realize how similar the covers were until they were posted side by side!

Regina, Easy is at the top of one of my favorites. I'm in a bit of a New Adult phase right now. I'd love to find something similar, for sure. It's one that I measure quite a few New Adults against :)

Thanks Angie, I've Dublin, but not Rock Me. I might just have to have that be my next one! Thanks!
Haha, there is nothing else like Easy! :D We all want another Easy. ;)
Regina wrote: "Haha, there is nothing else like Easy! :D We all want another Easy. ;)"LOL! I know... I know... Really though... nothing like Lucas, really if you want to get down to it!

Here's a few eroticas that I liked:

Rock Me is good. It is fun, it is really steamy.Have you read Lisa Kleypas's Travis series?
It is an excellent series.

[bookcover:Smooth Talking Stranger|4..."I love the Travis' series!! I'll just agree with everything Regina is recommending! LOL

I love Damaged Goods. I haven't read the other two yet. I gues I need to if Kay is recommending them!

oooooh! I thought Dave's would be in a different book, since book 14 is the Sophia/Dave/Deck story...
I can't WAIT for the Izzy steaminess! I am super super eager for his book!
I don't want to give too much away ......Yum, I may just re-read that Izzy scene for fun.
Yay! Now I have quite the selection to pick from. Thanks ladies!

The story is very layered and so many things happen that I found myself in grosed in the story. I put it down for a bit because it's very emotional.

I second what Wendy said :) Izzy is funny as all heck and he's so yummy!
@Regina, u beat me on recommending the Travis trilogy. such a great read. i love those books =D@Melissa, another one i'd recommend is
by Lori Foster and
by Jaci Burton
I'm reading "Alice Will" by Ashley Chappell
It's a fantasy with a bit of humor.
may be one of the hottest books I've ever read. Just more Ty please.
I'm almost done with
and it's very good but so heartbreaking. It's funny I didn't cry when they were taking to the camp but little things have me tearing up, those small moments a 14 year old girl should not witness or ever have to endure.Tellulah, you have me so intrigued by the Cut and Run series, may have to pick those up.

Hahaha! I finished
and it was very good. Not what I expected but very good and sad... Kay and Regina, are you ladies still reading?
I read
and it was so cute. Although, i'm a little peeved that (view spoiler)Next i'm going to read
Started
and wooooowie...it is hot! This is the first romance I haven't been pissed off at in a while.Also re-reading
and loving it just as much the second time. I wish more people knew about this series. I think it's so much better than Delirium and some of the others I've read lately. I'm glad to be reading a couple of books that I'm actually into because I've had a bad couple of weeks for meh books. Finished
last night and was not a fan. :(
I wrote my review for Tony and Adam. I liked it a lot. Though I had the same peeve you did, haha.

I'll have to check this out. I haven't read a shifter book in awhile those are hit or miss. Can't wait for your review.
Wendy, off to write a little something for Tony and Adam - wish they got a full book.
