When Jamie gave Claire instructions to go with Randall, I thought he meant for her to overtake the bloody bastard and then turn around and rescue him. Not actually go! WTF! WTG? WTF!

"Letting Go" didn't grab a hold of me. I like the hero, Jesse. I found him charming, interesting and sympathetic. I got his motivation, but didn't understand his attraction to Collen? Colleen is emotionally abused. Her ex-husband described her as a boring, nagging bitch who had to control everything. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything to the contrary. I didn't warm to her and I didn't understand why Jesse did?

I like Monica's "secret," but I'm not feeling either of these heroes.

Holy holy, did anybody else shed a tear at that dedication? Sheesh! I haven't even met the hero yet and she's got me in knots.

The nuances she puts in here about race and class and gender are achingly brilliant.

How did this chick just turn multiplication tables into a seduction? What muse whispers in Courtney Milan's ear and how can I get her to knock on my door?

Don't call me dear or love or sweetheart anymore. If you want to talk sweetly to me, call me by the endearment "computer."

There's some movement!

Its starting really slow. Luckily, I know this character and like her and am interested in her transformation. Otherwise, I would have set it down at this very moment. I also trust this author...but its really slow...

Grease? Grease! There are some details that I REALLY don't need to know!!!!

All right, I'm in love too. Let's go to Lallybrook.

Wow...okay. I have to take back what I said about the sparse sexy descriptions after that love scene. Wow...did I say wow?

The "50 Shades" moment just happened. I can't get over it. I know it was a different time and she had to be taught the lesson for her safety. But I just cant! Use your words! Ugh Jaimie!

The trailers for the TV show are everywhere! Feel like I'm running a race to finish in time.

So I got to the sex scene. I guess I've been reading way too much romantic erotica, PNR and contemporary romance because I was like "What? That's it?"

I feel like I've accomplished something making it here. I've basically read one novel at this point and I'm only a quarter of a way through!

Not much is going on, but I'm at the edge of my seat with anticipation! I find it interesting how I'm not feeling the hubby as he lovingly moons over his wife, but the writer adds some unsavory descriptors to his character.

That was a lot of reading and I'm only at 2%! I'm not sure how Gabaldon has made me like her character when not much of anything is going on? Need to investigate that bit of witchcraft.

Milan's writing is like an After School Special for grown women. Its edge of your seat drama, heart pounding adventure, sweet romance which contains a well crafted lesson plan!

Milan turned grammar into serious foreplay!

20% before I came up for breath! This is #reading!

"(He) probably gets more ass than a toilet seat." Oh Kresley Cole, how I've missed you!

You ever get pissed you have to go to work because then you have to put your book down? That's how I'm feeling right now! Layne killed that opening. I'm fretting over her heroine like she's a living breathing person lying across train tracks! Come on lunch time!!!!!!

One thing is crystal clear, @violarivard writes a good Alpha! The type that makes you forget you're a feminist!

Lovely writing, interesting characters, stakes high from the outset, you can see each character's "essence" and how they would be perfect for each other but they're both looking in the wrong direction. This is how you open a book!

Ah man! Why did I have to pick this up at the start of the World Cup. I can multitask, but watching soccer and trying to read an unputdownable book is nearly impossible. I think soccer might lose this one!

@maryann_rivers intertwines math and weather at a coffee shop and hot tub in "Rainy Season." My kinda date!

@charlotte_stein explores consensual sex with an android and its owner. Really great questions and insights. Reminded me of Pinocchio who was rewarded after telling the truth.
