What book is it?


Paganalexandria  | 4065 comments I just finished His to Own 50 Loving States, Arkansas by Theodora Taylor another Theodora Taylor. It was different then the other books I'd read by her. Had a little shock in the beginning with the hero being part of a White supremacist biker gang. I enjoyed it though.

TinaNoir | 1458 comments Has anyone read Home, Hearth & Heaven by Tamara Hunter

The premise looks interesting, the sample was good -- but there is no indication on page #. But I've never read anything by her and I don't want to pay 2.99 for a 60 page book.

Blurb looks interesting.

BrokenAngelxxx (cocoabutterfly23) | 40 comments i'm re-reading I'll Be Your Everything by J.J. Murray My favorite interracial romance book is still rock star by Roslyn hardy Holcomb though. I've been in a really bad reading slump for a while now :(

Man that's one of the few physical IR books I own. I like this cover better than the one I own.

BrokenAngelxxx (cocoabutterfly23) | 40 comments oops! I typed in the wrong book. I have Too Much of a Good Thing. I wish I had some new books though. I'm trying to finish up my last semester of school before I go on a huge book buying binge.


kittykat AKA Ms. Tortitude | 124 comments Am really looking forward to Maybe Tomorrow a Maybe... novel by Kim Golden . Loved the first three about Laney & Mags, hoping this one is just as good.

Also just gotten into Being Mrs. Blakemore by Olivia Gaines Olivia Gaines recently, the majority of her books that I have literally inhaled have been HILARIOUS Holden (The Serenity Series Book 2) by Olivia Gaines being my fav so far, so I've added a few more to by TBR list... Being Mrs. Blakemore by Olivia Gaines this series and Oregon Trails (Modern Mail Order Bride Book 4) by Olivia Gaines when it's released next month.

The first of hers I read was Montana (Modern Mail Order Bride Book 2) by Olivia Gaines because the premise of a mail-order bride was intriguing, but it was nothing like I expected (no damsel in distress nonsense) and was so funny that I needed more.


Paganalexandria  | 4065 comments Hkk, I've never read anything by Olivia Gaines. Thanks for the rec of some new blood.

Finished Commitment to Love (Chasing Love #3) by Kenya Wright here is my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...


message 15: by BrokenAngelxxx (new)

BrokenAngelxxx (cocoabutterfly23) | 40 comments I've started reading Jason & Kyra. This is one AA romance that I really like even though I don't really read much YA anymore. It's one of those books that I catch myself re-reading all the time and I never get sick of it.

Lushlala | 8 comments Recenly finished The Playboy's Convenient Bride
It was good, but I was disappointed to find it was a very short read. All things considered, a 4 out of five for me.

I haven't read anything from her. Is that your first book by that writer? Do you normally like her stuff?

I upvoted your review.



Reading The Master (The Game Maker, #2) by Kresley Cole and surprised to find a Kresley Cole was multicultural/IR. Russian hero, Latina heroine. Now she just needs to slip in a sister in the mix of one her books.

Elle Rush (ellerush) | 24 comments I fell off Goodreads last year and barely did any reading in 2016. But I'm trying to make up for it in 2017. I just found Radio Silence (Off the Grid, #1) by Alyssa Cole and it's up next in my Kindle cue.

Elle come back and let us know if you liked that one. I've been thinking of giving that writer a try.

Thanks! I might read their second story one day.

Fashionista  (fashionista99) | 439 comments Just Finished Cravings and Triggers by Gisele Walko .

It was a great read. I loved the fact that Sani's sexy Navajo Ass had a supernatural ability. But...adding in the vampirism towards the end was overdone and unnecessary. I gave it 2 stars.

Starting Irish King by Dahlia Rose

Fashionista it's been a minute since I tried a Dahlia Rose. How are you liking it so far?

Mel | 53 comments I finished A Kiss of Ashen Twilight (Ashen Twilight #1) by Rae Lori it was ok, I was expecting more. I'm currently reading Most Likely to Succeed (Superlatives, #3) by Jennifer Echols

Kimberly  | 67 comments Currently reading Vegas, Baby by Theodora Taylor . I'm enjoying it. There are not as many grammatical errors in this text like the author's 50 states series.

Channasl | 138 comments I just finished reading Hope Blooms by Jamie Pope . I thought that it was a good book and I am waiting on the next one!


message 38: by Fashionista (new)

Fashionista  (fashionista99) | 439 comments I am reading An Extraordinary Union (Loyal League #1) by Alyssa Cole . It is soon good. I just love IR historical novels.


message 39: by Elle (new)

Elle Rush (ellerush) | 24 comments Just finished Radio Silence (Off the Grid, #1) by Alyssa Cole . I knew it was NA going in, and since I haven't read NA before, I prepared myself for a higher than normal angst level. It was mildly dystopia, not the full-out OMG-apocalyptic setting I expected, but parts were touching, and she had some humour where it was appropriate.

I liked Alyssa Cole's writing style a lot, but I think I'll try another series of hers rather than continuing with this one. She has some interesting-looking historicals.

BrokenAngelxxx (cocoabutterfly23) | 40 comments i'm reading Perfect Chemistry (Perfect Chemistry, #1) by Simone Elkeles I know it's YA but it's my guilty pleasure. I have the entire series and it's one of those things i'll always catch myself reading time after time. I'm finally graduating college in like 3 weeks so i'm getting my amazon wishlist ready.

i'm on a NA/ interracial romance kick as these are my favorite genres. I can't wait to read Therapy (Therapy #1) by Kathryn Perez Happiness In Jersey by Jacinta Howard Finding Kennedy (The Prototype, #2) by Jacinta Howard and Beast by Pepper Pace

BrokenAngelxxx (cocoabutterfly23) | 40 comments i just read Natural Beauty by Leslie DuBois I really enjoyed the book


Paganalexandria  | 4065 comments I just finished Undeniable by Thayer King . It's been awhile since reading Thayer King. I enjoyed it. Great for someone wanting to read IR couples with regular degular jobs. He is a mechanic that owns his own garage, and she owns a small business.


message 43: by Kathy (new)

Kathy Golden | 244 comments My thanks to the people who recommended A Future Worth Fighting For: http://amzn.to/2qGp94W. I read the first book and really, really enjoyed it. I'm on the second book. It's a little slower for me, but that's because some parts of the story are moving too fast. LOL. Still, the first book was just a great read. So thanks!

The triology is still free, BTW. http://amzn.to/2rLcYbb

Sorry I just saw this! Yes, it was my first and I have since not seen anything else by her.


Paganalexandria  | 4065 comments I just started Her Scottish Wolf (Howls Romance, #12) by Theodora Taylor


Paganalexandria  | 4065 comments Finished Sergei, and just started Sergei, Volume 2. I haven't read anything else in the series beside these featuring the Black heroine. Liking it enough to check out the other heroines' stories eventually.


message 47: by Elle (new)

Elle Rush (ellerush) | 24 comments I really enjoyed Roxie's books.


kittykat AKA Ms. Tortitude | 124 comments Just about to start book 3 of the Adrenaline series by Xavier Neal.

Finished Classic (Adrenaline, #1) by Xavier Neal Vintage by Xavier Neal and just about to start Masterpiece (Adrenaline, #3) by Xavier Neal .

These first three in the series are about the same brother in a family of 5 (which inclues triplets). The remaining books are all about a different brother in the family.

Beware, books 1 & 2 end on a cliffhanger. But I only read a series that is complete so it doesn't bother me!

Some of her other books include characters that appear in this series
Compassion by Xavier Neal which is a standalone
Blue Dream by Xavier Neal and Purple Haze (Blue Dream Book 2) by Xavier Neal which are a duology.


message 49: by Isa (new)

Isa Jallow | 5 comments I finished Home by K. Carr a couple of months ago and it is my favorite book of 2017 so far. I find myself rereading it every couple of weeks. I can't recommend it enough! If any of you have read it, let me know what you think of the book.


message 50: by Jamilla (new)

Jamilla (jamilla_) | 14 comments Yes! Home is such a beautifully written story plus stories about married ppl are a favorite trope of mine. And it was nice to read a story very different from the usual fare in that it involved post partum depression, a sick child, and one parent doing a 'runner'. It was also very British, which I loved, but some ppl might not.
Not sure if any book is going to topple Home off of my best romance book of the year pedestal...
