How is the new JAK?

I really liked it. I read until my eyes blurred, then I would wait for awhile and read again. Let's see, it starts out on an island in California a 16 year old Lucy Sheridan is unwillingly picked up from a party by what she calls him her 19 year old guardian angel, Mason Fletcher.

Mason had heard that Tristan Brinker, the boy who threw the party wanted to drug her and rape her in front on everyone else, then put it on the internet. Mason also talks to her aunt to get her off the island. The next day, Brinker is said to have left the island and within 3 days a rumor has circulated that he was killed in a drug deal gone bad.

Now 13 years later, Lucy is back on the island cleaning out her aunt's house and getting it ready for sale. She finds the body of Brinker along with a newspaper that talks about the Scorecard Rapist stuffed in the chimney of the fireplace. After the body is found people start dying, Lucy's house is burned to the ground and the mystery is not only who is doing it but why? Is it because of the drugs that were sold 13 years ago or because Lucy also inherited Colfax stocks, who everyone believed would go to Quinn Colfax. There were holes in the story, like the timeline, but basically the book kept me so enthralled that I easily overlooked the discrepancies and I finished the book in less than a day.

[Janeiowa]

Library just called that it's ready for me. Sounds like my reading material for the next day or so!

[Dee]

I think you will enjoy it.

The Other Man: John F. Kennedy Jr., Carolyn Bessette, and Me

[Janeiowa]

was good. I had a hard time putting it down and finished it in about a day and a half.

[Dee]

I thought so too.

The Thornbirds
This book just became one of my all time favs.I could kick myself for putting it off for so long
I can`t understand why those of us born after the 70s are lucky to even hear of it
It is without a doubt a 5* read but any one younger than my Mom knows very little about it,and what a shame that is

[AliciaJ]

I am reading Twisted. Not sure I'm happy with this one or not.

[Janeiowa]

I love hockey stories, and I've read all of Rachel Gibson's and all of Deirdre Martin's. I was delighted to find a new author and a new series about the Las Vegas Sinners.

I'm now on book 2 of that series


Book 1 was On the Fly...

It was "that book" that everyone read. Kinda like DaVinci Code. The Thornbir is a epic work and well worth reading even 40 years later.

[Dee]

I just read . Personally, I didn't like the book at all. Right now I am listening to , I LOVE J.D. Robb.

I have also started . A friend of mine at the library recommended it. I am not very far, but it really has caught my attention. It looks like a wizard/vampire mystery. Not sure yet.

[Dee]

Right now I am reading Alone for another group. I am half way through and right now I am so mad that I have spent the last several hours reading the book I want to spit. Someone in the other group said she felt that way in the beginning and then it got better. Has anyone read this book and what did you think of it?

As I said in the 5 qualities to make or break a book is the book has to be realistic. This book is about a cop that shoots someone in the line of duty, but a in Massachusetts has a law where someone can circumvent the law and charge anyone with a crime, in this case a cop. If they win then the cop will be charged with a felony. What is worse is the cop goes like a lamb to slaughter and talks to the people who are trying to hang him.

[Dee]

Yay!!! I was first on the list to order the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, . I have just started it and I am already enthralled. Does anyone remember if Wrath, son of Wrath, was married before? I thought Beth was his only. I know Butches wife was his "shellan" but they never did anything except drink each other's blood. I can't think of her name, but this is not that person.

[Sera]

Marissa was Wrath's shellan. I don't think Wrath ever married before. Does it mention in The King? I'm about to read it, still re-reading Lover at Last though

[Sera]

I don't think shellan was the right word, Marissa and Wrath never did a thing but drink of each other, I think the correct word is hmm fiancee? Or some kind of

[Dee]

This one talks about Ahna, who was shellan to Wrath, son of Wrath. It talked about it happening soon after his parents died. I have read the series twice and don't remember Wrath having someone besides Marissa. I am about 200 pages into it and I really an enthralled. I can't wait to go to bed so I can relax and read a bit. I have too much to do today to actually sit down and read.

I was also dissapointed in "Hunted". I stopped somewhere in the middle of this story and did not even bother to finish it. But I enjoyed Karen Robard's Charlotte Stone series:

Coming book #3 in 26 Aug 2014:

[Sera]

Anha is Wrath's mother. Beth's Wrath. I think every king names are Wrath.

[Anita]

I haven't read an historical in a long time so I'm joining the Julie Garwood group in reading Never Seduce a Scot

[Nancy]

I am reading The King by Ward right now. I think I might be outgrowing this series; Wardspeak is getting really annoying and there are too many POVs and not enough on the main couple.

[Anita]

I am reading the last Troubleshooters book by Suzanne Brockmann, Breaking the Rules I am so sad as this series has been so good and I just don't want it to end.

[Janeiowa]

Coming Home is the series by Jessica Scott I hate to see end.

I didn't realize that was the last troubleshooter book in the series. I am going to have to reread that book. I know I read it, but I can't remember it. I HATE when a series ends.

As I got further into it, I realized it was Wrath's mother.

I agree with you about the Wardspeak, but I like the different POV. When I first started reading the BDB I felt that way, but with all the cliffhangers I would have hated not knowing what was happening. I am really interested in Layla and Xcor. How are they going to work this out?

[Nancy]

More mystery than romance but I did enjoy Suzann Ledbetter's Hannah Garvey series (4 books). Funny, with quirky characters & situations.

I completely agree with you on this Nancy. I was very disappointed by the last book and from the reviews I've seen so far, this one isn't going to be much better. So, I've been reading a lot of m/m right now, as well as romantic suspense by Kaylea Cross. I love the Titanium Security series.

This is Izzy and Eden's HEA. The story is all about the very dysfunctional Gillman family and how Izzy and Dan finally come together to save the day and become family.

Quick question Why is Mackenzie's Mountain so hard to find and if I do find it it's in a higher price bracket?

[Dee]

Anita, is this a new book? I thought I have read everything by her.

[Dee]

Kate wrote: "Quick question Why is Mackenzie's Mountain so hard to find and if I do find it it's in a higher price bracket?"

I have no idea. I know I got the Mackenzie Legacy and Mackenzie Honor, which was Mac's Mountain and Mac's Mission then Mac's Pleasure and Game of Chance. I expected them to be more. Then I got a the whole series, I think I got it on EBay by bidding on a bunch of LH books. They were included in the package. I think I gave away that copy or I would send it to you. Did you get the book?

[Dee]

I just finished The Other Man: John F. Kennedy Jr., Carolyn Bessette, and Me . It is really good, and I was surprised by Carolyn Bessette.

Thanks Dee I just got Mackenzie Legacy from good old Ebay. Mind you I have a stack of LH books to read as I have only recently discovered her and have only read about 4 of her books. Lucky I don't have much of a life and can read so much hahaha Although given the choice of going out or staying at home reading I would be at home

[Dee]

You are a lady after my own heart. I also like audios because I can multitask.

[Janeiowa]

I just got Kristan Higgins Waiting on You from the Library. It's over 400 pages. I'm very up and down with this author. I loved Best Man and I gave up on several of her others. We'll see how this one goes.

[Nancy]

Here's my review Jane on that book.

The overall " tone" was so wrong in this book. I won't be reading any more of this author. Even her pet dog, on the cover, wasn't fun. Huge disappointment :(.

Anita, is this a new book..."

It was a good book published in 2011, I think, I borrowed the e-book from my public library. I enjoyed the change of pace from the romance and romantic suspense I normally read.

I am so surprised. I thought I had read everything she wrote. I am going to have to get it.

[AliciaJ]

I just started the epically (is that a word?) long book, A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin. I'm doing pretty good, I'm at 45% right now and I just started it yesterday.

[Dee]

Wow! it must be a good book.

[AliciaJ]

Dee wrote: "Wow! it must be a good book."

It helps that I've watched it on dvd already too. LOL

[Dee]

Do you like Historicals?

[AliciaJ]

Dee wrote: "Do you like Historicals?"

Love them. I'm a big fan of medieval history too. Actually, I'm pretty much a book whore. I'll read just about anything! LOL

[Dee]

So am I Alicia, my mom gets so mad at me because I love to read so much.

[Eve]

For those who want to read good Romantic Suspence - I recently discovered Christy Reece. Enjoyed her Rescue Me
Me and I'm currently reading next book in this series Return to Me and its been also very good so far. I already ordered next 2 books of the Last Chance Rescue series (hope they are also well written and fast-paced). BTW: Christy Reece's #1 Most Read Author is...Linda Howard

[Dee]

Thanks Eve I will look for her books.

I just finished Dream Man I have had a pretty bad bladder infection and really haven't felt like reading, listening to my audios or watching TV. All I wanted to do was sleep and stay away from the pain.

I am starting an audio of and probably

[Anita]

I just finished Dangerous Refuge by Elizabeth Lowell. It is a 5 star book. Great suspense plot and hot romance. I was so pumped by the ending, I couldn't sleep and read a read Lori Foster book Wild until the rush wore off.

I really liked that one. I agree it was 5 stars.

[Nancy]

I am reading In Hot Pursuit by Suzanne Ledbetter. 4 star so far...it didn't draw me in quickly but there are definitely some nice bits in this story.
