Books 4-6 were Seduction of a Highland Lass, Never Love a Highlander, and In Bed with a Highlander. They were read shortly after I was done reading The Hunger Games trilogy.
Book 7 was Clockwork Princess (I re-read the first two in the series but I don't think that counts for this challenge).
Book 8 became
. I wouldn't recommend it unless you have nothing else to read, there were only two good stories in it.
Book 12 was interesting: A Valentine from Harlequin: Six Degrees of Romance. A collection of sis stories that start off the same but have vastly different plots and characters.
Books 13-16 Never Again Good-bye, Blind Trust, When Dreams Cross, and Broken Wings. They were a really good series, easy to read. The last book took me longer than normal to read though.
And book 19, the most recent (finished yesterday) was
. It wasn't my normal YA but it was a good, steamy book.
Book 20 finished yesterday:
. It was.. erotic but was it believable? Not in the least. Maya Banks is one of my favourite author's (after reading the Highlander's series) and this book was a let down because the lack of plot.
Book 21: Voices of Courage: Inspiration from Survivors of Sexual Assault. Best piece of non-fiction I ever read. Note: Read back in February.
Book 24:
. This is the first of a series and I'm in love with the series after reading this first book. What an amazing read.
Book 26: Bed of Roses. Amazing sequel to a great book. Started on the third in the quartet this morning.
29:
this one was pretty mediocre compared to the first three but it tied off any loose ends. Overall only three stars.30:
All I can say is much, much better than 50 Shades in writing and plot.
So originally I was going for 100 books, but now that I have a full-time job and have a lot less free time I feel as though I need to lower the amount otherwise I'll feel terrible with myself for not meeting my quota. So now I'm aiming for 55, hopefully I can surpass that but we'll see.
Book 32:
. What a spectacular ending. But now I'm left wanting more, and aside from two short novellas there isn't more. Pity.
Book 34:
. While I liked it because of the cheesy romance, I was extremely exasperated by the characters and their idiocy when it came to communication. How hard is it to say "I love you and I want you back?" Not very but the characters here sure had a fun time misunderstanding one another.
Books 35
, 36
, and 37
. Okay so I've rated them. The first book I gave 3/5 because I love the author's writing and previous works. I like the main characters, the sex is steamy, but the dialogue is lacking. I found Maya Banks to be a great author when I read her Scottish series but the dialogue in these books is crap. The main characters in each of the books are okay, but any secondary characters are lacking. The first book centers around Mia and Gabe and I liked them well enough but whenever Mia appears in the other two books her dialogue is out of character. I was highly disappointed with this series.
Book 39:
. A very wonderful retelling of Snow White. I just love the characters and their dilemmas. Definitely one of my favourites.
Book 40:
.Book 41:
.A cute series about love on Bridal Veil Island off the coast of Georgia. God-centered relationships and some non-stereotypical drama. Not your average romance, but they were pleasant books for my boring days at work.
Book 42:
. I enjoyed the sequel (which I read first), but this one didn't hod my interest. Kind of a let-down.
Okay so technically there's more than one book but since they were about 10 pages each I'm going to list these eBooks as one. So number 43:
,
,
,
,
, and
.
Book 44:
. Loved this book, the characters were great and the love match was everything I could have hoped for. Already started reading the second installment to the series.
Good luck: )
Keep going. You are almost halfway there: )

my love for Scottish men has been reignited. 46:
I am pleasantly surprised o how much I am liking this series.47:
So this one I bought as a trilogy on sale through Google Play Books and I couldn't finish it. I hate not finishing books but this was so dreadfully boring I threw it aside after I forced myself to read halfway through it.48:
I regret not reading this sooner because I'm hooked.
