There is short review for all the books I've read for this challenge in the spoilers.



✔ FREEBIES (view spoiler)[
F: The Finding 13/8/12 ★★★1/2
This one was heavy on suspense and lighter on romance,(a 3 out of 10 for the steam factor!). I like books with a lot of dialogues and this one was all about inner thoughts and descriptions .
R:Fearlessby Christine Rains 15/8/12 ★★★★★
It was only 41 pages but better than a full length book. The plot was unique and it was well written.
E:The Geek Job by Eve Langlais 13/8/12 ★★★★
It was funny in a crude way and HOT. The ending could have been better but the epilogue was great.
E:Exquisite by Ella Frank 15/8/12 ★★1/2
There were some conversations in it that was just unrealistic , the characters' actions and reactions weren't logical.
B:Blood on her Bonnet 18/9/12 ★
Gag-worthy .I didn’t like ,I don’t have any words for why of it!
I:The Inconvenient Duchess 19/9/12 ★★★1/2
It was an easy read ,but it kept my mind occupied even after I had to put it aside for the night , I just wanted to keep reading.Strong heroine , grumpy but nice hero .
E:Taking Heart 25/9/12 ★★★★ Character Eric
I really liked this one ,there is something in it that usually doesn't happen in romance books (I don't want to call it romance it's Chick lit),(view spoiler)[ the hero sleeps with another woman and is in relationship with her for a while and even thinks about proposing to her (hide spoiler)] Gah I just wanted to stop reading but well I couldn't I was too invested in the plot to DNF it!
S:The Burn 10/10/12 ★★ Charcter Seth
It wasn’t a bad book the idea was great , it was dark and creepy .I probably wasn’t in mood for it. It didn’t come together for me at the end.

A:Hired by the Cowboy by Donna Alward 5/8/12 ★★★★☆
An easy and fast to read.I think it was the first Harlequin romanceI've ever read that didn't make me roll my eyes all the time!!!
M: The Mating 7/8/12★★★★☆
At some point I was so nervous for the heroin that I couldn't keep reading.There were some stuff in Bonded that weren't in this one like the conversions that they had with their wolves.I cant wait to read the next.
A: A Needful Heart 15/10/12 ★★★★
A short sexy story with engaging characters . I loved the H , he was so cute and unsure of himself .I wanted to hug him the whole time , it just needed and epilogue
Z:Forged in Fire hero Zane 31/10/12 ★★★1/2
The whole book happens in less than a day (view spoiler)[ H/H meet for the first time in the morning and she is pregnant before the end of day! That bothered me .It was good book to start a series , I'll read the next when published. (hide spoiler)]
O:Fool Me Once heroine Olivia 26/10/12★
The plot was ridiculous and everything else horrible!
N:Bonded by Nicky Charles 6/8/12★★★★★
I can't believe this was a free ebook (I got it from Smashwords )
I'm big fan of shifter and werewolf books and it was one of the best ones I've ever read.

S: Samson's Lovely Mortal 21/8/12 ★★★
It was funny , hot and steamy but it was just another vampire story , nothing new and it was predictable!If you haven't read a lot of vampire romances you'll enjoy this one!
M:Masters at Arms21/8/12 ★★★
An interesting way to start the series ,but I'm not sure if I'm going to read them or not!
A: Pretty Girls Don't Cry 25/10/12 ★★★★★ hero Aaron
I LOVED it , I felt really close to Nora while she was going through finding herself . and that's exactly what this was about. The romance part was brief but good .I read it in one sitting
S
H:
W:The Girl With the Cat Tattoo by Theresa Weir 30/9/12 ★★★1/2
it has one those silly plots that you just can't take it seriously , when I finished reading I was laughing so loud my husband thought I've gone crazy! of course I was just looking at the cover and imagining Max the cat
O
R: Convincing Quinn Rock hard series 24/8/12 ★★★
It was HOT but too short ,I'd liked to read more and believe it or not it had a twist in its only 49 pages
D: Must love large dogs by Pat Dale 10/9/2010 ★★★1/2
A funny short story. It's told from a dog POV which is something new for me. There is doggy romance and some human romance
S:Scorched 22/10/12 ★★
It's 50 pages and I only read it for a challenge ! no comment really
(hide spoiler)]

K:The Keeping 8/8/12★★★★★

ShoSho you are rocking this!!

I will bow out of this challenge - I don't want to read anything on my list and it just stresses me out. I will however, if you guys allow it, change my word and pretend I did it (after all we are the challenge-impaired lol!). And I wow to quit filling my kindle with books I have no intention to read.

Shosho, you're doing so well!

And Susanne, you smart girl, I think I'm going to have to do something similar! Well done :-)

[S]

Thanks for cheering on me! I feel so much better now xD

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Yaaayy Susanne

[Gisela, Moderator]

I need to get back on this

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

so do I. At least it was a 6 month challenge and doesn't end until 2013. I have 23 books I HAVE to read before the new year to complete yearly challenges.

[Gisela, Moderator]

LOL! GO SUSAN GO!

[Lina]

You can do it, Susan!

[S]

Thanks Shosho and Jenny! Susan - you go girl!

[Elishia]

Ha ha Susan I'm struggling trying to find 2 for the dangerous hero them, but think that's because of the letters I'm stuck with :(.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Thanks for the encouragement, ladies! I'll keep ya'll updated on my progress :)

Elishia, what letters are you looking for?

[Elishia]

Y and I either character, author or book name. Think my problems the fact I don't read historicals.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

For I you could read The Theory of Attraction his name is Ivan. And I plan on reading Fall Guy for Y for a hero challenge. His last name is youngblood.

[Elishia]

Yay thanks Susan

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Welcome :)

[ShoSho , Moderator]

1 more to go
read today , there were 6 really short stories (less than 10 pages each)

[Gisela, Moderator]

I read a new one! Yay! It was pretty good. I would have given it 5 stars if the hero hadn't been an alpha-hole for most of the book. I think under normal circumstances I would have given it a 3 but it seems I was in the mood for this kind of book. And I really liked the heroine.
