Oh, gosh. This is so intense. I've got to take a break and read something fluffy. If you like psychological thrillers and two flawed and haunted mcs, then you'll like this book.

Oh good, this book. I should've checked the reviews first. I'm dying. Whoever heard of 'effervescent cum'? Or a tongue that reaches the prostate? And the MC is not likeable. Someone save me...

Why on earth is there so much face slapping going on in this story? And from both characters too. Do guys slap each other in the face a lot?

One of my favorite series and it just answered a question from the previous book I was wondering about :)

This is one of the best series I've read and I don't think many people have even heard about it. Most people compliment stories by the more well known authors in the M/M genre. But, this Christmas series is a gem. I've rated each book 4-5 stars and I'm stingy on stars. I'm not sure how many more books the author has planned, but I hope there's more since there's only one book left for me to read.

I can't keep reading this, it's too boring. Setting aside for now and reading a Christmas story by Keira Andrews instead which is so much better.

Many of my friends like/love this book, and I'm only a fifth of the way through and am so bored. I keep putting the book down. I can't get into the characters at all.

Ben's a jerk. He had eight years to beg for Rory's forgiveness, but he was too much of a coward, still is. It was always about what Ben wanted, even now as adults. Not about Rory's feelings or what Rory wants. Ben refuses to respect Rory's boundaries. Again, it's all about Ben. It's easy to see how Rory still hurts even if we don't get his pov. Ben doesn't deserve Rory.

Happy New Year, Everybody!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

First person, present tense. Not my favorite :\

Oh, good grief. I just went on a holiday book buying spree over at All Romance during their book sale >.< Not that I don't already have more than enough books to read on my TBR stack :D Merry Christmas to me! ^_^

This has to be a YA or NA book only with lots of sex. It reads like one. Chris graduated high school two years early, makes him 15. His birthday was a few days away when Earth was invaded. So it makes him 16 when he's caught. He tells Morgan he was going to get a fake ID so he could get into a club. Chris is under 18 for sure. The guy on the cover looks way too old. I don't think this book says it's YA :\

Surprisingly, this is funny. I'm enjoying it so far.

'The Nothing.' One of the best unsettling descriptions of something... that's nothing. I'm really liking this book.

Cover love! I want to know who made it. Also, so far this book is really good. I hope it stays interesting until the end.

Hahaha! This book is funny :)

Twenty-two pages into the story and there's a lot of monologue. And I mean 'a lot'. I can understand from Caleb's pov because he's deaf. But Luc's? I don't know how much more of it I can take. I think I'll set this aside since it's monotonous and not doing a thing for me. Rarely do I DNF a book, but this may be one of them. Maybe I'll try again some other time.

No! That can't logistically happen! Giles is sitting at the table next to Mitch. ACROSS the table sits the parents and Shaz. Giles CANNOT put his arm around Shaz and give him a kiss on the cheek if he's sitting across the table from him. You can't just put in a scene like that for convenience if it doesn't fit what was written earlier. Ugh! Why did no one catch this? Editor where are you?

DNF for now. I decided to put this aside. Maybe I'll give it another try some other day. But as of now, the loads of head-hopping did me in.

Crazy amount of 'blushing' and 'cheeks heating' and I'm only up to page 21. I didn't realize guys blushed so much.

I just started this story and I'm already thinking of putting it aside to read something else. There's load of head hopping happening and I'm only 23 pages into the book. I struggle to figure out which character is thinking or feeling because the pov changes are occurring sometimes every paragraph. Ugh!

Such a cute story! But why is it that Tim never questions how Chance gets out of the house everyday? It's not like he has a doggy door at his home. I dislike plot holes like this.

I am on a roll. Fourth Eli Easton book in a row!

I'm enjoying Grady and Josh. Great characterizations in this book.

Wait, I just realized this is book two and a prequel. Oh well, I'd rather read it in this order. It'll probably make more sense. And this story is a much better BDSM read than the other one I'm currently reading and I had to put aside because the other was doing my head in. This has safety, consent and cleverness. The other book is hit you over the head with a caveman's club. I prefer subtlety, it's much sexier.

Oh god, just no! >.< I like kinky stories, but there are so many 'do nots' happening in this, like no safe words, manipulation through fear, etc, that I'm cringing inside. But it's like watching a horrific car accident, I can't stop reading. This is bad and not in a good way...

Happy New Year's to my GR friends!
