There has been quite a few interesting bits and passages in this one, also hilarious bits, but yes, interesting bits.. It is very interesting reading it again after having read number three, four and five in the series relatively recently.. 🤔 And this is my forst re-read of this one..

I have been almost consumed by this book, it's only been today, I think, where I haven't been reading anything at all 🤔
I had forgotten how early on some of the bits happen, and just now we've had the other "big" reveal of the book, and I'm surprised that it's already tbh.. xD But I'm loving the book.. <3

I started this day before yesterday, but stopped as I was sitting down for dinner, as Owen was describing how maggots were falling out of a zombie's face in chapter one, and I figured I'd save the rest of chapter one for later.. xD
I picked it up again yesterday, with a vengeance, four ch, 3h 42 min in <3

Long Game - The End... It was an alright story 🤔
I suppose it was a bit predictable, or, at least, I had a few details locked down, but I HAD been spoiled to "the plot twist" (I guess you might call it) in a review on Amazon, so I was looking for clues 😆 But it was alright story, I liked it, a little suspense, alright on the heat, good on the fun front ^__^ 3,5 stars..

There seems to be some mystery around who the girl is and her past, and the guy's cocky asshole, whose regular 'routine' doesn't immediately seem to work on the girl.. So far I've found the story quite intriguing and the exchanges and characters engaging.. ^__^ I am excited to continue.. Tomorrow sometime..

I started this yesterday, got it for free on Amazon on Sunday, I quite enjoyed the author's other story, Hustle, and after reading the sample for this one, I figured I'd give it a go... ^__^

I listened to another couple of hours today, and coming upon some of the interesting passages I did today, having read the story before, I saw some of those passages quite differently this time around, noticing and being amused by all the forshadowing I hadn't picked up on at all the first couple of times.. xD

I've been listening voraciously the past couple of days, except for today :-) Today I watched a movie with the co-pilot and put on a tv-series instead.. Ooh, and read another sample of a Kindle book, because of course I did xD
But I am enjoying myself immensely with this one, I had forgotten how much fun this first book was :-)

Since Monster Hunter Siege recently came out, and I haven't listened to this one in ages, I figured I'd listen to the series again to start no 6 off right, and it's been really interesting listening to this again, realising that Oliver Wyman hadn't figured out what voices Harbinger and Franks would end up with yet.. :-D And so much fun off the bat!

On last Sunday and Monday (July 23-24), I believe, I was reading the second story in this book, called Throttle, which I think you could call a kind of romantic suspense like book, maybe? There is at least a little suspense in it.. 🤔 It is centered around a year in Formula One, and it was quite good, but I liked Hustle better.. xD

I got this on Thursday, July 27, after reading the sample, and I read the first story, Draw, that day..
I found the characters engaging, the story exciting, and I quite liked it, I had a very hard time putting it down.. xD Each story will focus on a different couple, in Draw we had Cord and Saylor..

(I feel like I haven't done a status update in ages 🙈)
I finished the title story, Hustle, early this afternoon, and I thought it was well good, great bants, the back and forth between the main characters had me laughing in the street 😂
This book has three bonus books, plus two bonus stories at the end that are related to Hustle.. I give this first story 4,5 stars..

BUT! Tuesday morning, on my way to Group, I got my shite together, and decided to actually start this one, because the sample had stuck with me since I'd read it, and I'd kinda grown bored with my fluffy smut fest 😆 I read 16 pages on Tuesday, and I read almost 300 pages today, I could barely put it down 😆😅 I've barely done anything else today 🤦‍♀️

I read a lot of samples and am often intrigued enough that I end up getting the books, but.. When I look through my Kindle library or on my shelves, I have a hard time choosing.. Because there are so many things I want to both do AND read.. 😆🤔😓

Do you ever feel like, I want ALL the books!!! But at the same time you feel like, I have SO many books, I want to read ALL the books right NOW! ALL of them! But how do you choose? 🤔

I got a newsletter from an author about a week an and a half ago talking about this trilogy and how the las book had just come out and how they were all free for a short time, so I checked out the sample of this one, and was really drawn in, so I got the lot of them! 😃 Then I didn't actually do anything 😆🤦‍♀️

This ebook came with the title story, Hot Damn, plus Lady and the Champ (which I already had and have read) and two other bonus stories..
I finished the title story last night, the story in itself was cute, but the writing was a little bit inconsistent and the editing too.. Now, I am the type of person that notices that type of thing, some might not, I don't know, but it did make me chuckle and wonder :-)

The pace, to me, has quite picked up, I was shocked to see how far along I'd gotten!.. xD I've just been really flippin' terrible with updating on here -_-'
I've been struggling with audiobooks a lot lately so I haven't finished this as soon as I would've liked, I get easily visually distracted, so I end up rewinding a lot -_-' Even in audiobooks that I am extremely familiar with, it's painful..

I was actually on the second to last CD of the audiobook when I picked this back up maybe about a week and a half ago? I hadn't been reading ANYthing at ALL for two weeks at that point, not even audiobooks, I was so stressed and rapidly headed towards a breakdown >_< I managed to finish the last two CDs over about four days, at a guess ^__^

I finished the first story/book in this box set, Her Vigilant SEAL, 2 hours and 40ish minutes ago, so, SO good.. I had gotten this box when it was for free on Amazon several weeks ago (came upon in Bookbub mail) after reading the entire sample on the website.. xD I was well into it and I loved it, I thought it was solid ^__^

I'm quite entranced by the story, I am curious where it will go, but I am definitely enjoying the process ^__^ I love things that make me think <3
Ooh, and the co-pilot says "Hi everybody!"

-ish :-) I've been listening here and there for the past couple of days, sure but it is slow going because I've found that because of the nature of the story (permaybehaps?) and my tendency to get easily visually distracted, I can't actually be doing anything while I'm reading/listening, else I miss something xD

I decided to just finally dive in to this today, and already by page fourteen I was swooning all over the place xD
I am already loving this, but I have a soft spot for New Orleans and a Southern drawl *sigh*...

I have not actually read anything, it seems, in days.. T_T And I haven't read really read any books in print in weeks, not even ebooks... I read loads of samples, and get a ton of books because they spund great from the samples, or put them on my wishlist for later purchase, but I just don't seem to get around to actually sitting down to read anything at the moment... And it sucks >_<

The bits in Spanish are going straight over my head, it's just little snippets here and there, an odd sentence or two but it catches me off guard and comes so naturally that I completely miss what she's saying, so yea.. xD

I listened to the first half hour again Wednesday morning, and have been listening today as well, this is one of those books where I can't really do anything else while I'm reading, which is alright but different from what I'm used to.. :-)

This sounded very intriguing from the description and the sample I read, and the audiobook has started out very strong and intriguing for me, I am very curious to see what this is about.. So far so good.. I was given a copy of the audiobook by the author in exchange for a review and it looks to be right up my alley ^__^

Almost.. 85,80% really, but I don't really want to be nitpicky ;o) We're coming down to the wire, final confrontation approaching, this is getting even more thrilling ^___^

The book is positively flying by at this point, and I can hardly believe I only have four hours and maybe fifteen? xD It is very exciting! :D But I'm calling it a day, I can hardly see straight, I keep nodding off as I'm typing xD Sleep tight loves! <3

Looks like I've been a busy little bee this past week or so.. xD I was going to update about twenty percent ago, but then I kept reading instead, sooo, yea.. xD
But I'm thoroughly engrossed, and I think I've figured out what is depicted on the cover ^__^
