Like usual, I'll take the first 15 book nominations before creating the voting poll. Here are our guidelines.

1. The book has to be in that months genre selection.
2. If nominating a book in a series, it must be the first book in the series.
3. Each person can only nominate one book.
4. The book has to be available in print as well as ebook.

Let nominations commence!

I think this might be my first post in this group (thanks Wendy for recommending it on the Outlander one ;) )

Can I recommend -

How about

Yay! Thanks for joining Dee!

I would like to recommend i've heard wonderful things about this book and have wanted to read it for awhile.

Thanks Wendy for all the hard work - we love the Group Reads.

How about

Good one Leea, I've been wanting to read the Troubleshooters series.

... I vote for this one!

I know, Regina has sold me on this series but I want to finish a few series before starting it :)

The Survivors by Sharon Sala/Dinah McCall - I loved this book!

I am so excited about this one. I don't read a lot of romantic suspense. Can't wait to see what the pic is.

I nominate.... !!

I have been doing some research. How about by Lauren Dane? Looks good. I can't vouch for it personally, but would love to read it.

I'd love to read the Unsung Hero too.

I'll nominate my favorite RS series:

I've read most of the books recommended here already. I have not read Maggie Shayne or Pamela Claire. I'd love to try Extreme Exposure. It's been on my wishlist for a while now.

I've heard a lot of good things about I-team.

I've heard those are great! Pamela Clare is a great Author and I've only read her Historical Romance novels.

Dying to read Pamela Clare! Have never read her before but heard she is so great!

This genre is fairly new to me. After some research I nominate .

We're at 10 nominations so far here. I'll accept up to 5 more, but if I dont' get all of them I'm still stopping nominations when I get home from work tomorrow.

10 books, and Nominations are closed.

I'm going to the movies in a bit, and have some family plans, but I'll get the polls up this evening.

The link to the September Poll is in the first post of this thread.

Voted already!

i'm going to have to go over and check out the polls, lol

Our winner for September is Extreme Exposure (I-Team, #1)!



Thank you everyone for voting.

Yes!!!! Can you tell how excited I am to read this beauty. I hear it's a great series and hot hot hot!

Thanks again Wendy for doing all the hard work.

Yay! I really want to read this book. It sounds hot!

Awesome! One that I have not read yet. Looking forward to it.

Damn it! This kind of bums me out. I want to read this book but not as a group read because I will have to read the whole series and we will not be doing that. I suppose I could read the rest of the series on my own but where is the fun in that? :-(

I'm going to read the whole series, I have them all lined up. I figured once I read one i'll just have to read the next and next.

Ok I am glad I won't be the only one. Where did you get the books from?

I got them from BN.com

I bet others will join us, plus Regina and D.G love the series so they will chime in for sure.

I will check it out there. Were you able to find the whole series on there? BN is famous for not having a full series available.

They have them all, I got them awhile back.

That's great news. It is frustrating when buying books for the Nook and the series is not complete. IT means I have to go hunting for it.

Ugh, I know. Some of Pamela Clares older books aren't in eboook yet but will be soon.

It just doesn't make sense to me why BN wouldn't have a complete series. There have been times when I found book 1 and 3 of a series but they didn't have book 2. Does that make sense to anyone because it sure as hell doesn't make sense to me.

Glad to see you gals so excited! :)

Like Regina, I have problems with Romantic Suspense - I'm a mystery reader and I find the suspense plots to be a bit on the ridiculous side - but the I-Team series is incredibly well researched. The author was a journalist in a previous life and the plots are based on real-life investigations she (or her newspaper I believe) had to deal with.

Another good thing about the series is that the plots tend to develop during weeks and months. In most RS, you have a couple on the run for a few days with bad guys shooting them left and right and always I find it hard to believe they have a HEA after that. But in this series time passes, so you get the feeling that they really get to know each other.

If the first one is good, I'll probably read the rest of the series right then and there. I tend to do that with series books.

I am the type of person that has to read a series once I start. I have not done that in the past and I don't like it.

I have to read the whole thing too! Unless I just realy don't like the first book, I can't wait to read this one! I have been wanting to read Pamela Clare for so long!

Even if I don't like the first book I have to read the series. Hello OCD!

Haha Marcella, I'm kind of the same way... Well once we are done with #1 and some of us want to keep going we'll start a thread to talk all about it. So excited to start this book.

I must be the odd one out. I'm really bad at reading any series back to back. I always have other stuff I have to get to for challenges, group reads, buddy reads, etc. There's only been maybe 3 series I can think of that I read back to back, and they were all shorter series.

I don't really read whole series. The Mercy Thompson series I don't think I will continue and I'm already reading another book after I read the first book in the Fever series but I will get the second book for sure.

I just got number one, will get the rest so that I can read along with you guys Leea, let me know what thread you are discussing on later on!

I stalled out on Mercy after book 3. I keep promising a friend that I'll continue but I can't seem to motivate myself. Maybe someday.

I will let you know for sure... Let's read book 1 first and then we will see.

I'm pretty bad about reading a series back to back unless I really love it. Like I read books 2 through the end of BDB back to back. I read most of the Fever series back to back, and Georgina (I'm caught up AMY!). But others, I just read them occasionally.

I have to read the whole series...it's a compulsion :)
