Haha, thanks!

All I ever read is Romance...
Here's my list for books till now:
1. A Court of Thorns and Roses - Retelling of Beauty and the Beast, East of sun and West of Moon and some Nordic fairy tale about Tam lin.
2. A Court of Mist and Fury - Sequel of ACOTAR
3. Rock Chick Rescue - Great funny read by Kristen Ashley (Book # 2 of Rock Chick series)
4. Rock Chick Redemption - Not as much fun as others but still okay (Book # 3 of Rock Chick series)
5. Rock Chick Reawakening - Book #8.5 of Rock Chick series
6. Egomaniac - Vi Keeland's book. You'll love it. Give it a try...
7. Badd Motherf*cker - Not as bad as the title predicts but too much smut! One time read for me...
8. The Winner's Curse - Loved this one... more subtle romance than other books but worth it!

I recommend reading Egomaniac and Winner's Curse. Many might have already read Sarah J Maas' ACOTAR series. <3

Hey ! I just joined this group and was interested in this challenge . Though I've just started reading paperback as I did a lot of e-reading initially . Could I join ?

Sure, Harshita. Welcome to the challenge!

Priya, have you thought about picking up Devil in Spring. Gabriel is the eldest son of Evie and Sebastian. It's my favorite out of the series.

Same here. I also recommend it :)

Ora wrote: "Priya, have you thought about picking up Devil in Spring. Gabriel is the eldest son of Evie and Sebastian. It's my favorite out of the series."

Yes! I loved Rhys Winterborne's story.

27. Midnight Angel
28. Prince of Dreams
Lisa Kleypas is one of my favourite authors and I found all her books that I read to be good, but not these two. I didn't like these books much. Looks like these were her earlier books and she developed her current style of writing over years.

29. Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake

Yes, the style is quite different in Prince of Dreams. I have its audio book. At least, you finished it, I quit halfway.
