Finally picking up pace!

*gasp*
There's an ENTIRE SERIES dedicated to Lyre?! How did I not know about this?
I'm going to faint...

"What happened? Do you want to talk about it?”
“No.”
My eyes narrowed. “That sounds like an ‘I totally need to talk about something but only if you pry it out of me’ sort of no.”
“That was a normal no. The ‘don’t pester me’ kind.”
“Hmm. I’m pretty sure not.”
“Then you’re pretty wrong.”

LOL.

Cooper shook his head. He felt Park's arm flex under his hand and, being the professional sleuth that he was, realized he was still holding on to Park's arm.

I can't remember the last time I shipped a couple this hard so early on in a book. I don't even know why, they've hardly interacted! All I know is that I love being in Cooper's head and that I'm head over heels with these guys.

Man, how could I ever forget how amazing a book boyfriend Marshall is? Swooning so hard over this guy..
<3

An M/M mystery series by Jessica Frances? Well, yes please!

LOL

It's 1:30 in the morning on a weekday. I'm 93% into a book, in the middle of the big, greatly anticipated showdown of all showdowns.
What do I do? Why, start Queen of Dreams, of course!"

This is disappointing.
I positively adored Janzen and his witty quips in the last book. Here, I find his sense of humor and his permanently flippant attitude plain annoying.
Wonder if it's me or him...

Oh em gee!
How didn't I know this book exists?! Need to right that wrong stat.

Damn. I'm not even American and even I feel offended by this insultingly stereotypical portrayal of Texans...

Just got back from this amazing trip to Dublin where we held my sister's hen party.
We had such an incredible time, and now I'm hooked on this beautiful, friendly, welcoming country once again.

Which is why I'm looking for recommendations on romance books set in Ireland and/or starring Irish main characters.
Got anything for me, my friends? :-)

Wow, that was freaking weird. Reading about a couple having Virtual Reality sex? Yeah, not into it.

I'm in the process of developing this unhealthy obsession with Michael...
Anyone else?

I was still babbling and trying to stop crying when he pulled me into a hug. It was a Gabriel hug - an awkward embrace that feels more like restraint.
I swore he counted to three before letting go. But then he reached out and patted my back, the kind of “there, there” comfort you give a child who has scraped her knee, and I had to bite my cheek to keep from laughing through my tears.

Oh, Gabriel...

I'm really, really digging this. Such an imaginative and unique concept!

I feel like something terrible is going to happen soon. Surely, someone's going to be killed off, right? Please don't let it be Joe. I believe I can handle anyone's death but Joe's.
:-(

It wasn’t the best orgasm she’d ever had. She hadn’t seen stars or JFK’s face or anything, but she’d appreciated the feeling of a big, hard body next to hers, hands and words that wanted to make her feel good, no more, no less.

Exactly why I love Keyes' books so much. She doesn't need to rely on soul mates, insta-love and unrealistically mind-blowing first sexual encounters to create her love stories!

Yessss! So excited! ❤

OMG, yes! This is it! This is the book to ultimately pull me out of my reading funk! I just know it!
So far, I'm loving everything about it. I'm so happy. Unless there's a major turn of events coming up, this will be a 5 star read! ♡ ♡ ♡

Do I get up to put the ice cream container back in my freezer now, or do I keep eating until it's gone thus saving myself having to get out of bed? I mean, half a litre isn't THAT much, right?

Only 10% in and on the edge of my seat already.

"If we live, and don't get arrested, you're going to be broke."
"My lease is almost up anyway."
"No." He saw where that was going.
I smiled ear to ear, a twinkle of mischief in my still swollen eye. "I already got my stuff moved into the guest bedroom."

Man, this book is so quotable. I just wish I had more time for reading.
<3

It was nice to know in the middle of all this mayhem two men could prove that no matter the circumstance or setting, guys would revert to schoolyard antics if given the opportunity.

Loving this adorable bromance between Janzen and Grove. <3

I finished selling my casually walking production by starting to hum Hips don't lie by Shakira. I was scared shitless and it was the only thing I could think up. Not my proudest moment.

Kinda laughing my ass off here. I'm loving the sense of humor.

Great. Two hornball drama queens in a car together.
This will be a blast.

This is so super sweet, but I'd really like some tension now... please?

Wishing all my beautiful Goodreads friends out there the most wonderful holidays with lots of love and laughter. May all your wishes come true.
Merry Christmas!
