My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Finished listening to by Julia Quin and by Eloisa James. Both were 4-Stars for me. Very enjoyable.

Starting by Eloisa James

It's January and I'm falling behind in my reading already. At least I can catch up on the reviews of the books I've read.

Last week I finished Another One Bites the Dust by Chris Marie Green.

Next I read Flanna and the Lawman by Cathy Maxwell.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Today I finished First Family by David Baldacci.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm listening to I love this narrator.

I also started reading , it's ... well ... horrible. It's not a bodice-ripper but the hero is appearing to be the ultimate ass*e! and the heroine is cringe worthy, a doormat and a pushover that has been in lurve with the hero all her life! eek let see how it goes ....

Not one of my favorites either.

I got stuck on book 4. I hated Dmitri as a hero plus I hate books where children are hurt.

I read and enjoyed books 1&2, I found book 3 to be too long. Haven't read book 4, if you get to it I'd be up for a BR.

I don't love this series as much as Psy-changelings. But I'm still reading them.

#2 is long too, 23 hours I think!!
I'd love a buddy read :D

I am glad I am not the only to dislike Dimitri., unfortunately the heroine Hope? Didn't appeal either. I have found this series is so much darker than Psy changeling,

I didn't find Hope appealing either. There were scenes I where I was uncomfortable. He would do something to hurt/scare her and she either apologized or brushed it off or consoled him, or something like that. It made me so angry! I wanted her to run as far away from him as she could.

They're all long. Book 4 is over 800 pages. Yikes!

Just finished my listen of the Splendid Trilogy Series #3 book Minx and really enjoyed the story. 4.5 Stars

What Doesn't Kill Her . . . Makes Her Stronger.
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Mister McHottie

You Will Suffer by Alexandra Ivy 4-Stars
Intriguing plot and a red-hot romance. This book is a standalone, you don't need to read the other books.

Don't you just hate that? It always annoys me. Such a letdown.

I am now listening to Alone and Then She Was Gone...hoping they turn out to be good listens.

I was so disappointed. I really wanted this book to be great. The cover was!

I love Kendra Elliot...enjoy,

I really like Kendra Elliot too and I've got the Bone Secrets Series, but what I don't have is time to read it. I need to change that this year.

I just read a new author as I had given up on the ones I knew lol and couldn't put this book down! It was insanely refreshing and spoke to my heart.
Circlet of Orchids: A novel inspired by a second chance love

I also read Forever My Girl which I really enjoyed! I didn't quite fall in love with the Liam character but it was still alot better than most romance out there and wasn't all about sex.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO I love both these authors!

Wow, what a nice wrap up to the Bone Series by Kendra Elliot. She has made me a fan of her books. Just finished a two day listen of Alone and Known.
Both were 5-Stars for me and highly recommend.

Next is finishing her Merciful Series after my listen of Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell

Oh how I loved this book when I read it. It was a delightful story. 😊

It was a lot of fun, but serious in parts too. I really like the series.

I finished Mail-Order Bride by Maureen McKade.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I also read Last to Die by Tess Gerritsen.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I adore Laura Griffin, her Tracers series and her new Wolfe security one but I almost didn't finish . It is an older book. The heroine is so TSTL, and the events and her actions so highly improbable, even for a romantic Suspense.

I have found this a bit lately. That an author's recent work is so much better than their backlist I guess it shows their development as a writer.

That is so true. It is kind of like learning to ride a bike the first few attempts aren't very pretty, then you get the hang of it.

Finished No Other Duke But You by Valerie Bowman
A funny and enjoyable read. A delightful story to read..last in the series.
My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm going to read this book for this week as part of the 2019 challenge.
