The Challenge Factory discussion

Vicci & Kristin - Wanted

So I've just started this a bit ago and am on Chapter 4 (of 66)

This poor girl... if (view spoiler)[ it weren't for bad luck, she'd have no luck in love. She is definitely a jerk magnet of the highest order. Poor girl!

She's just met 'Gunner' though, her brother's best friend.. seems like there are some sparks flying but she, of course, is ignoring them since it would no doubt turn bad, just like every other love interest she's had so far in life...

I totally understand her wanting to put that wall up! (hide spoiler)]

uh oh... crooked smile alert!

Ellie is a bit clueless.... I kind of want to slap her.

And what's with the brother?

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[
Seems like Jefferson has gone from one extreme to another... It sounds like he went to great lengths to keep his best friend away from his sister up to this point... and now he's practically pushing them together..? What's up with that??
(hide spoiler)]

Oh no.. add in some achy thighs. (view spoiler)[ And, yes, Gunner is walking around with a constant hard on... (hide spoiler)]

Insta-love...

Can we just pitch in and get counseling for the whole family?

The story hasn't necessarily improved but I did find one saving grace while perusing other people's reviews so thought I'd share these book-ends:

Chapter 18

(view spoiler)[We should have turned this book into a drinking game - a shot for every time Gunner talks about his hard dick... Course, we probably would pass out a quarter of the way into the story. (hide spoiler)]

I'm making the most of my **FREE** reading time tonight. Both kids are sleeping elsewhere and hubby is at the fire house. It's just me, my dogs, Gunner & his abs... :D

Chapter 28
(view spoiler)[ I still want to smack Ellie and want Gunner to man-up. Threw up, really?

They are both so miserable. She is so insecure and scared. It's driving me crazy.

Ellie needs to put that stupid 'friend card' where the sun don't shine. Not sure what she expected Gunner to do after pushing Gunner off on that girl to dance... **smack**

IMO Jefferson should have spent the money on a good counselor for little sis rather than a car.
(hide spoiler)]

Chapter 29
(view spoiler)[Now Ellie is over it and gave Gunner hugs & kisses... okaaaaaaaay..... just going with it..... (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 48
(view spoiler)[More vomit. Thinking he should have gone for the girl instead, but maybe that's just me...

puss.... (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 49
(view spoiler)[ YAY!!! She is going to TALK to Gunner before she gets pissed this time! Progress! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 54
(view spoiler)[...and then two steps backwards... (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 55
(view spoiler)[ 30 Days is pretty patient. (hide spoiler)]

Omg you were on a reading mission last night lol.
We had band practice and then sat and watched a film with a takeaway last night so couldn't do any reading :•(

Finished The Good Girl in bed last night, but I had to rewind it about 3 times as I fell asleep lol

I'll get to this one later.

Ya, I was on a mission last night . Was up anyway working on something til 4am & with the house to myself, this book kept me company.

Have to rewind and listen to the last 30 minutes.

Sounds like you were on a mission too with Good Girl! :)

Yeah had to speed it up a bit lol.

Just starting Until Trevor too, see you've finished that one too speedy lol.

omg so THIS update popped into my feed this morning and had me cracking up!!!
I miss you Kristin and Vicci!! We have to do a buddy read again soon! What are you reading in Jan together? I may have to jump in...

Hi Stacey *waves*

I'm not sure if we both have BR's together in Jan, we're on the TT together so there are lots of buddy reads with that.

Haven't got anything planned really, just signing up for too many challenges as usual lol.

Have you got any planned?

I'm surprised that this girl can even walk, her achy thighs are going to cause her a problem .......she's going to be leaving trails behind her lol

Funny thing - I just had a message from a friend in my inbox this morning warning me about this book bc it was a bit juvenile. Good description!

CAN'T ........STAND.......ANY.....MORE.....COCK........TWITCHING!!!!!!

**waves Stacey**!!

We need a new author since we read all of the Rainbow Rowell books!

I actually haven't signed up or posted any books for January. Have I missed the thread? I'll have to take a look.

erghh it is just never ending haha

lol yeah I think it was up last week sometime

V - I didn't see you had started on this until now. Your comments are cracking me up! I spoilered the same things!! Achy thighs, crooked smile and he talks about (view spoiler)[ his dick pretty much 24/7 (hide spoiler)]

I rated (view spoiler)[ it higher than Bully because there actually was stuff that happened and wasn't a book about nothing. LOL! (hide spoiler)]

Ah is it the same author lol I had no idea!

Yeah I think I'm going to change Gunners name to Tripod haha!

V Audio Nerd wrote: "Ah is it "

I think the other was Penelope Douglas but this BR reminded me of that one bc of all the whining I did them too! Haha!

Omg! Totally going crazy with the new 2015 challenges!!
I. Must. Stop.

TRIPOD!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That is perfect!!!!

Lol, the poor guy must have the worst case of blue balls EVER!!

Oh my god, I thought I was at the end of the book, it only had about 5 mins left, but no, it was the first half haha!
I have another 7 hours to go!!!!!!! Arghhhhhhhhh

Oh noooo!!! You've reached intermission!!!! LOL!
Mine was all in one so I knew how much more pain was in store at all times...

I listened to the last half on chipmunk speed...

Haha I'm kind of thinking that I need to do that !
I have it on 1.4x already lol

I must have missed it too bc I am also not signed up for a Jan BR. Will go research... Yes- need a new author and book!

Too funny but wow you are involved in a lot of challenges! How do you do it???

I have to log them all or I will forget to do them, like this one lol.

I try to use the same book for a few challenges at once, or listen to them at warp speed lol.

I definitely try to overlap my books across challenges too!

I think I've gone crazy on all the open series I have out there... I'm excited for the 2015 FWYS Challenge - I'm hoping to complete 50 series over the year.

Unfortunately, Wanted was one of the series - so I'm definitely just yanking that one off the list entirely!

50!!! omg you are a machine lol.

Does everyone in this book throw their heads back when they laugh?!?!
Everything can't be that funny!!

LMAO!!! (and, btw, I threw my head back when I did that)

IKR?!!!! That was the other thing that bugged me.
Ellie must be a real riot with all that head-throwing-back-laughing going on...

Many of my series to finish/catch up on only have like 1-2 books so it's not really too crazy over a whole year.

Course, some of them are because of Ezi's Start-A-New-Series challenge... LOL! But I only signed up for the ones I had the first book to read. :)
