<—- SQUEEE!!!! You know which one I’m reading next. π
In fact… Toski just said:
Toski: I finished last night. OMG. I loved. Logan is just as good as GarrettΒ So funny! Laughed my butt off
Maryse:Β AND THAT is what I want to do. LAUGH!! YAY ME!!Β Β Β *happy dance*
However… there are more. MANY more that look awesome, too, and I’m finally done the list. I think. π Of course if you find some that I missed I’ll be adding throughout the day, but I think with over 100 new releases today, there are plenty to choose from.
BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!!! This one just went on super-sale!! Sweet Filthy Boy (Wild Seasons Book 1)Β by Christina Lauren (over 400 pages at a rock bottom price) and SO MANY in our crew LOVED it. Marina says: “Just finished Sweet Filthy Boy and it was AMAZING. Iβm just so sad itβs over. I was in a major book slump for weeks, couldnt get swept away and this book did it for me. Itβs just sooooooooo good! I canβt touch anything right now bcuz Iβm mourning the end and I miss the characters already…”
For me? I’m especially intrigued by these books that have blurbs making me twitchy: Of course,Β The MistakeΒ is next for me (since I loved “The Deal” so much!!), and now,Β Bad RomeoΒ andΒ Broken JulietΒ are making me excited, ’cause I’m hearing that the “feel” is like “The Deal“. PERFECT! Also,Β The Virgin Romance NovelistΒ is absolutely one of the next one’s I’m reading ’cause I hear it’s laugh-out-loud funny, and my bff INSISTS!!Β Black IrisΒ (’cause OMG the end of that blurb made my eyes bug out. She’s gonna show them ALL!!!), andΒ Carter ReedΒ (sounds MAFIA-scary amazing!!) andΒ Discovering AprilΒ is calling me… (she’s lives the perfect life, but when it all comes crashing down, she befriends her reclusive neighbor? That has a secret…)
Which book are you starting next?
P.S. Let me know if Iβm missing any or if you loved any (from this list or elsewhere).

Get Maryseβs Book Blog updates delivered by emailΒ (youβll get one daily email that will have each post from that day consolidated on it).
I was sooooo excited to see The Mistake on my kindle this morning! Yay!!!! It was great that we didn’t have to wait long for the second book!
Been wanting Bad Romeo and heard there was a cliffhanger so now that the 2nd book is out, I can move onto that series…. I need to read Carter Reed based on everyone’s reactions. And I wish Overruled wasn’t so much money… that looks good!!!
Pucked!!!!!! I WANT IT!!!!
Okay, scrolling back up to see what other goodies there are!
I have an hour before work so going to start The Mistake.
Jean, I agree about the price for Overruled. I just can’t though sounds great. Just read a v positive review. Has hero groveling, which I love. But I never finished the Tangled series.
Oh, have also heard good buzz around Pucked. I think I have a novella by her. They are teachers or librarians. Need to start Bad Romeo also.
Twilight meets Elenor and Park? I’m not sure what to think, lol.
Maryse read Eleanor & Park.
I never finished the Tangled series either (only read the first book)!
Twilight meets E&P?….hmmmmm….intriguing…..
I hope our expectations aren’t too high for The Mistake because I would hate to be disappointed!
Okay bev… I will. I have it!!! π
Jean I hear that “The Mistake” is even better. TWO have told me that…
I finally am reading The Deal with everyone praising it. I’m glad I did too. I haven’t stopped laughing. *grins*
I finished Empathy. I liked it, especially (ironically) the tiny burst of humor. However, after a few scary ones, this one didn’t have me freaking out. *shrugs* I did get Desolation, because Ryan… yeah.
Maryse, sorry that sounded bossy, lol.
Grace is adorable. Romona, not so much.
But what is with all the *cough cough* pictures?
The “enjoying the pot scene” lol.
LOL bossy is fun! We all know my book-dom disappeared, π
YAY Tessa!!! That one is fabulousness…
Have to stop now but,
“I’ve got moves, Damn it.”
love this.
Yay, great list so many books!!!
Starting “The Mistake,” tonight, can’t wait.
Pucked, Binge and Overruled, cross eyed with all these goodies…..
Goodness sakes – that’s a humongous list up there!
Bad Romeo was SOOOO good! You have to read it! Just got Broken Juliet today and can’t wait to get started!
Bad Romeo is very high on my tbr, but I’m trying to wait for the whole series. Really hate CHs.
The Mistake – first paragraph – ha! So great. This is going to be a doozy of a read. I didn’t even hesitate, I simply put my other books aside and jumped into this one.
Thanks for that feedback Mindi! Bad Romeo is high on my list!
Fabi, I just need to finish Asa (which I’m trying to do at work) and then I can jump right into The Mistake! I’m excited based on your initial reaction to the first paragraph!
Maryse do you know the debt inheritance is free on Amazon right now? Just the 1st one though i have started reading but haven’t got far yet but he’s already a control freak bully u want to punch but are scared of o_o
Say Yes to the Marques by Tessa Dare is on sale for 1.99. I have been WANTING this book. Happy face.
I finished “The Mistake” and loved it!! John Logan is swoon worthy! I liked this one a little bit better than “The Deal” which is saying a lot cause that book was awesome! Can’t wait for Dean’s book next! Love this series!
Starting “Broken Juliet” next. So excited!!
Also I can’t believe I haven’t read Carter Reed! I love mafia books!
Um….yeah….anyone else think the P in Pucked looks a tiny bit smudged?
Hey yeah Lauren!!!
If you squint slightly, it could possibly say something totally different. *snort* π
Me too Anne!!! Love the mafia reads, and this one looks exciting!
I am looking forward too Pucked sounds good…and The Mistake now… And Rising Darkness…where do I start?
Alright, I’m loving The Deal so much, I’m probably going to be jumping into The Mistake right away.
The Mistake is AWESOME and I’m not even that far into it!!!!!
Jean isn’t Logan amazing?? Love him! Grace is also great!
Tessa you totally should! Both books are amazing! They are on my top 10 of 2015 for sure π
Squirreled from the Fall Away series and started reading The Binge after reading the sample(which seemed to be better written then the rest of the book). When I read the blurb it made me think of After I Do. Unfortunately, the writing is choppy and the H/h are annoying with their schizo feelings that change from I love you and want to make this work to youβre sh*t and I hate you from literally one sentence to the next over and over and over again! Iβm at 75% and was tempted to not finish but my curiosity at where this was going won over. Weβll seeβ¦then itβs either The Mistake or Kissing Madeline or The Reckoning next.
Anne, I bought The Mistake. I already adore Logan just based on The Deal. I’m at 92% of The Deal and absolutely love it. It has such great writing with such humor. I admit, though, I really like Dean. He has me curious.
Alright, and that was absolutely awesome. *grins* Yes, reading The Mistake right away. I should have read The Deal sooner, but oh, I’m glad I just got to read that.
Anne, Logan and Grace are both amazing and this author really knows how to write a book! Can’t put it down! I love all the characters! And it’s just great when a second book in a series lives up to our expectations!!!
I can’t believe how many books I’m going to be one-clicking. I can’t remember which book I read recently that said it, but she said she was going to be a one-click whore or something like that…um, I think that would be a fitting label for me. π
GAH! Does Broken Juliet have a CH as well?!? I have been *dying* to read Bad Romeo but have held off because I heard there was a CH…I don’t wanna have to wait for the next one now too!!! Does anyone know for sure yet? Anyone??
I needed a break from all drama… so I picked Matrix of Destiny #1 for my next read. Michelle posted the bargain price for books 2 and 3 in one of her posts. It is so dang funny I am dying laughing!! It’s just what I needed. So much fun. I mean seriously? A space-time traveler hot hot guy in boots and a cape comes waltzing in to be your “protector”? They’ve been to the mall (hilarious) and McDonalds and the airport – and I am in stitches. Just what the doctor ordered. Thank you, Fabi, for talking me into it a while back.
Okay, it’s been quiet here the last couple of days sooooo…ROLL CALL!! What’s everyone reading right now? I’m either starting The Mistake tonight or Bad Romeo and then Broken Juliet. Stupid tempting CH’s. Although The Beginning of Never is sounding good too…how can it not when compared to E&P and Twilight. Sidenote: MARYSE!!! Read E&P already!!!!
I read Degradation then Separation and had fun with them, but I have to take a break before Reparation ’cause I’m gonna tw@t-punt her if I hear games or liar from Tate one more time. She’s a-p!ssing me off.
MichelleS, I’m making a note of that one!
Amy………Broken Juliet does not have a cliffhanger……in the blurb she says it’s the stunning conclusion to their story…..there is 3rd book though and I believe it’s about Ethans sister……….I started freaking out too because I’m reading broken Juliet next……so I just had to look that up;)
Tessa: So happy you liked The Deal!! You are going to LOVE The Mistake! I am so curious about Dean too! I am so happy his book is next!
Jean: I agree! I am always nervous about a second book in a series not living up to expectations but this one exceeded them!
I’m reading Kissing Madeline, then I plan to read The Mistake. Then back to The Fall Away series.
Amy, the blurb for Broken Juliet says it’s “the final chapter in the Bad Romeo duet.” I want to read them too. I agree Tate needs a good tw@t-punch, but then again Jameson is “Satan.” π
Need to put E&P on my tbr list. Maybe I’ll buddy read it with Maryse. *snicker*
Deborah, I would love a book about Ethan’s sister! I really like her!
I am 20% in Broken Juliet and really liking it! Oh the feels and angst!!
I’m finishing the second book in the Buried Secrets series by Silla Webb which I love and then I’m going to bite with The Beginning of Never and see what’s going on with that.
Excited to see The Mistake is getting great reviews…I just bought too many books from this list though. Ok off to read instead of buy more…
Hey, Amy. I’m at 20% of the Mistake. So far adore it. Going home and very quick dinner so can get right back to it. If it keeps up I doubt I’ll stop until I finish it.
Anne, I’m reading The Mistake, I’m only 3% in, (been busy) and I love it already. *grins* Already giggling.
MichelleS, YEAH! That’s the appeal, the laughter. My late teen/twenties self is happy dancing.
Amy, what Cheryl said. She is dating Satan, and let’s be honest. Sanders the real hero of the series. π
“Don’t give me your sex grin. It’s creeping me out.”
lol. I love that I’m smiling so much while reading this.
Love Logan *happy sigh* and Dean is next. I’m in such a book fog.
Anyone familiar with the Quantum trilogy? All three are out and all have 5 star reviews! I get so excited when a series is complete and highly recommended!!!! Cannot wait to start The Mistake and so many others I’ve one clicked!!
Amy – so much fun! He is a “warrior knight” that she calls an “arrogant beast” with all his “swaggering lordliness”. He can’t say her name, Deanna, he says “adeeann”, which is totally growing on me. Again… pure fun and sexiness. I needed that so much!!!
But The Mistake is calling to me too…….
Bev you won’t be able to put it down. I started reading and was like “ok one more chapter and I’ll stop” yeah right! Lol! Such a great book!
Loved that scene with Dean! He is amazing too!
Fabi, Logan stole my heart! I have to say I love him a little bit more than Garret! Yeah blasphemy lol
I seriously can’t wait for Dean’s book! I think I know who the h will be in that book and I am super excited! Hopefully it’ll come out soon!
Linda I’ve never heard of that series before! Who’s the author?
I just finished The Mistake & loved, loved, loved it!! It was such a good 2nd book! I may have loved it even more than The Deal, too!
M.S. Force. Not sure what else she’s written. Will have to research but she sounds like author I’ve read before. Third book just released in Maryse’s list above.
MichelleS I’m tickled you’re reading that one before Rejar. Such a fun read.
I know Anne. Right? But I think I started falling in love with Logan in Garrett’s book.
Thank you Linda! I’ll have to check that series out! So many books so little time lol!
Fabi, me too! He is so amazing!
Lorris. That has to be the geekiest and cutest thing, lol.
Ugh, reading much slower than anticipated and a very early alarm.:-\
Heh. I love that Drew Baylor the quarterback from The Hook-up just got a shout out.:-)
Tessa, I loved Sanders! Wish he could get his own book; now that’s a back story I would like to know more about!! π
Just started The Mistake!! “Drew Baylor from the Hook-Up”-that was a great book too!
I am slow reading The Mistake! Don’t want it to end!
The Mistake = Book Heaven!!!!
I know! I can’t tear myself away. I have to go to work, but…I don’t want to leave Grace and Logan.
Had to put it down last night. But in the final 20%. I love the guy’s relationships with each other. I wish more authors would do that with the heroines in NA.
Have any of you noticed how much better a book is when you love the heroine as much as the hero? For me it just makes the book that much more. Curious if anyone else feels this?
Now for my little tiny nit pick, lol. I wish the beginning before V day(or night) had lasted longer. More movies and water towers. I think may of given it a slightly bigger oomph. And, for me, more of a connection to how Logan felt afterwards. This could just be me though.
That did happen rather quickly. But I put it down to college life and the fact that he’s ultimately a really decent guy.
Loving, “The Mistake,” so far. That Logan, I was crushing on him since, “The Deal.”
I can’t wait to get on the train for my afternoon commute so that I can continue being in book bliss!!!
Reading The Mistake – my face hurts, it’s been stuck in a grin for hours.
Fabi, I know! I can’t stop grinning either!
Damn, I missed the Bad Romeo sale again…..grrrr…
“he’s not abusive,he’s self destructive.”
Something about that line just hurts my heart.
Jean, that is always so frustrating.
Alright, Romeo and Juliet are going to have to wait ’cause I’m diving into The Mistake. All this collective love for it is just making it too tempting!
Cheryl and Tessa…never thought I would say this, but by the end of Separation he was looking less and less like “Satan.” And I LOVE Sanders!!! What little we were given of his history was just so sad though, and when Tate flipped out on him on the boat I wanted to throttle her.
And thanks to everyone for the heads up on Broken Juliet…you guys saved me from accidentally reading possible spoilers so *muah!!* π
That’s a lot of new releases! Thanks for including mine.
One other little thing I like about The Mistake,Grace ‘s parents. I like them but also the way they are portrayed. That there is no shaming in the fact that they basically swapped roles. Usually a mother would take a serious hit for that and she doesn’t. I appreciate that. That it shows that the family is still very healthy and that a mother can still be a good one even in that role, you know.
The Beginning of Never is soooooo gooood. Saw it on your list yesterday and finished it this morning! Super angsty and left with a cliffhanger – argh! Seems like it’s going to be the first of a trilogy and by the Amazon blurb of the second book it doesn’t sound like the angst is going to stop soon, but it’s really well written, great characters (leads & secondary) and just really good first love, heart-melting sweetness!
OMG today has been so busy, I can’t wait to get back to The Mistake. They were literally on a water tower last I read. Bev, I agree. If I like the heroine as much as the hero, big hit. However, to make an awesome book, make even the secondary characters complete, good and bad. She does that soooo well!
Jean, bummer. I’m sorry about that. :/
Amy, big thing to remember, Separation is book two. Tate has a LOT of growing up to do still. I think, by the end of Separation, Jameson has basically done most of the growing. Tate is still operating on old Jameson, rather than new Jameson. Does that make sense?
Sanders = <3
Good point Bev!
I’m also reading The Mistake and loving it!! So funny!! The Friend Zone by Kristen Callihan comes out on Tuesday!! It’s the second book in that series, the first one was The Hookup!
Just read the Drew Baylor reference, which tells me I need to read the Hook Up. *grins* Lorris is awesome. Just pure awesome.
You are right Bev
Pmsl the mistake – “at this point I’d be thrilled if a carrier pigeon tapped its beak on my window and delivered a handwritten letter done in perfect calligraphy” π there are no words how hard I’m laughing don’t know why and I’m getting looked at funny now lol
and how about this one?
“She sighs when she notices the campsite on the bed”
yup, you’re imagining that one right *snicker*
Niki, does it really!?! So. Happy. With The Hook Up I really liked it, just not love it as much as the buzz. Sometimes I think the buzz can work against me. But still a great read. I do want to read The Friend Zone. Just a great premise and liked the little sneak peek of it we got.
Laura, I think I laughed the hardest at Justin’s “What is happening right now?” scene.
Fabi think you have totally passed me. Have not got to that scene, yet.
I finished a few minutes ago Bev. And I totally want a copy of that picture Justin was laughing at.
Bev I totally agree! I loved The Mistake because of both Grace and Logan. I loved her too!
Lol! Poor Justin! That scene was amazing! I want that pic too! I loved how Garret was acting like it was a normal ocurrence or something lol!
I am 62% done with Broken Juliet and really liking it! Ethan is amazing! Love how he has changed and matured.
Fabi did you love it? I am still thinking about it. I love Logan! Now I am anxious about Dean’s book. Can’t wait!
Tessa I agree! The secondary characters are great too! Love Tucker and his beard and the guys reaction to it for example. I don’t know it makes everything more believable. I can’t get enough of this series and Elle’s writing!
I love them all in The Mistake! And there are just too many funny lines to recount. Just got to the Lorris Brangelina line…too, too funny!
Yeah, and can you believe he did that?! omg
Just one of the many funny lines from Logan…”How long does an erection have to last before itβs considered bad news? Three hours? Four? No way this movie is that long, right?”
Starting supper and then will FINALLY get to start The Mistake! So, I should pretty much plan on not getting any sleep tonight? π
Talking about shout-outs in books…anyone remember the KELSEX (Kellan!!) shout-out in Avoiding Temptation? She mentioned how good they looked together and wondered if they were a couple. Grrrrrr…
And yes Tessa…that is a great way to describe Jameson and Tate in Separation. I’m not too thrilled with Ang either now. Jerk.
So I’ve been listening Maroon 5 all day and now I am craving a great rock star/musician romance book! Any recs? Which one is your favorite? Thanks guys!
Cheryl lol! This book has amazing funny lines! Ahh love it so much!!
Yeah Amy no sleep for you! Lol You are going to love it!

Joanna, The Beginning of Never has a CH!! Nooooooooooo…I’m only 20% in but now I’m bummed…*grumbles but goes back to reading*
Thank you Michelle! *grins*
OMG, OMG, OMG, the happy feels. Just finished The Mistake. I even snort laughed at one point, and I honestly rarely do! But the feels! So many smiles.
I just saw that comment too, Michelle…that sucks donkey balls ’cause I was looking forward to it. π But thank you Joanna for that heads up!!
Yep Fabi, this seems to be a good year for some GREAT reads! π
Anne…what kind of RS book are you looking for? Standalone, a series, angsty (my favorite!), sweet?
Anne I’d recommend Forever red or Mayhem.
Eeep, there were so many good books that came out, I missed one I wanted to read, Cold Burn by Jennifer Estep. I have to wait to buy it, but next week, it will be MINE! *grins*
Anne, what rock star books have you read? You’ve read Thoughtless, Olivia Cunning’s Sinners on Tour, Kylie Scott’s Stage Dive series and Terri Anne Browning’s Rocker series, right?
Amy I don’t mind if its a series or a standalone π I love angsty and passionate!
Deborah I’ve read Forever Red and loved it! Haven’t read Mayhem though! Do you know the author?
Tessa I’ve read all of those except Terri Anne Browning’s! Need to check it out! Do you have other suggestions? Thank you!
So just finished Broken Juliet and loved it! The perfect ending to Ethan and Cassie’s story. I am going to miss them.
Tessa, I got Cold Burn of Magic already and was thinking of reading it next…that or Rising Darkness but I need a PNR stat! And no CH…*still grumbling*
Anne, I agree with Tessa about The Rocker series by TAB. I believe Jean has read it to and would agree with us. The Devoured series by Emily Snow is good and a bit angsty, and I haven’t read it yet but have heard that the Groupie series by Ginger Voight is really good and very angsty…I HAVE to get to that one soon!
As for standalones, I absolutely *loved* How To Kill a Rockstar. Also, Carnage is rockstar book but it seems like people are divided on it. I personally liked it but didn’t love it simply because it exhausted me emotionally, almost like it was *too* much angsty drama…which is saying a lot for me. π In face, I believe Maryse said in her review that she blew an emotional fuse, LOL! Hope this helps. π
*should have been “In fact”…stupid autocorrect.
Time to pick my next read. Rubs hands together. I never did read my historical read last week. So maybe one of those. I’m thinking one from Bonnie Dee that I have. Now time for my commute read.
First off, read the Terri Anne Browning’s The Rocker That Holds Me. That one is a big heart tug. It’s one of my favorites. The rest, let me look through my books. I’ve read…a LOT, and Rockers are my thing I’m pickiest about.
I agree with Amy, Devoured was good and angsty. I have Groupie in my TBR as well, the TBR now one, but just haven’t tried it yet. Carnage and How to Kill a Rockstar… I’m the only one who didn’t like either of them. *sighs* The picky thing again, though in Carnage’s case, I just hated the heroine.
Michelle, PNR without a CH? Do such things exist? π I’ll look at what I have. *grins* Though, Jennifer Estep usually doesn’t have CH, just next episode. Don’t they usually end the book’s story, even if the total arc is still going?
Yes I agree, The Rocker series!!!! So, so good!!!
In a book funk after The Mistake…. not sure what to start next…
I felt the same way Jean! I finally decided to get back to the Gentry boys with Cora Brent because I wanted to stay in the CR zone and I’d loved the first one.
Same here. I finally decided to read Diamonds by KA Linde. The heroine is the type of girl we all hate, but that’s on purpose. I’m liking it so far.
I think I am going with Nobody’s Dream (Masters at Arms series). I had been waiting for it for a long time and I just love the series so much!
Won’t be able to really start until this evening, but yeah next read. And since it’s Thursday……..
“Clouds were painted on the flat blue-gray sky, not even a gull disturbing the barren heavens.”
~ Captive Bride by Bonnie Dee
“Broken – mind, body and soul.”
– Diamonds, K.A. Linde
Really, the book is better than that line. It’s rare to really like a character who is normally the villain, or the catty cheerleader in a typical story.
Oh shoot, the first line of my book….”His hard body pressed against the length of her back, hands reaching around to paw at her breasts.”……. and that’s not in a good way…..
LOL!!!!! How can that not be in a good way, Jean?? I just had a flash of Khal Drogo… π
I know y’all have already read it but my line is…
“Lusting over your best friend’s girlfriend sucks.” ~ The Mistake by Elle Kennedy π
Tessa…you’re freaking brave!!! That is the first book in a series, and K.A. Linde is one of the queens of angst…don’t you remember the Avoiding series?!?
Believe me it is not it a good way. It’s non-consensual………
Yes Tessa, you are brave! I’ve had the Avoiding series for so long and still have not read it…. Avoiding it! Lol!
I know Any! Those first lines sucked me in so hard
I just finished it and it was Sooooo good. The more I read, the better it got. I know it’s taboo, but it wasn’t read like that. The taboo was more of a gut clench, but it wasn’t the main part of the story. So many secrets and intensity, and sadness… So many feels! Yes, CH, but I loved it. I can wait for July if it means more like that. It was just… wow type good.
Irony, I haven’t read the Avoiding series. I should though. No CH at this point. *grins* I’ve loved all her books so far.
What are you reading Jean? That sounds like the beginning of major heart pain.
*hee hee* Fabi said sucked and hard in the same sentence. π
Jean! You gotta read the Avoiding series…so angsty and so fun! Tessa is brave ’cause if there is angst plus a CH in Diamonds then oooooohhhh, that’s gonna be rough. Avoiding Commitment had a CH of sorts but I already had the second book…if I would have had to wait for it I would have been p!ssy!!!
Same to you Tessa…gotta read her Avoiding series! My Oh My by Tristan Prettyman is seriously the theme song for that series. π
I have it and I will. Tristan Pettyman? I’ll look it up.
Amy *snicker*
Tessa, Nobody’s Dream by Kallypso Masters. She is so broken but about to be saved by a hot cowboy who rescues abused horses. Love this series! You have me excited about Diamonds though CH or not!
“Vibrations reverberate throughout the miniscule apartment.”
Avoiding Commitment, K.A. Linde
Good thing I don’t judge a book by its first line. She’s an awesome writer, but the first line? Meh.
Did we get that one for free? I think I have that. Still doing Avoiding at this point though. Yeah to angst!
Did you all now she wrote a rockstar book too? I apparently have that. Must have been free?
Tessa, your reaction to that first line made me laugh! Keep me updated on Avoiding….
Tessa!! *squeals and squeezes Tessa* Can’t wait to hear what you think of it! Here’s that song I mentioned…oh man, those lyrics…
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3b6sYhdqKqA
*jumps up and down with clappy hands*
Whoa…shouldn’t have had them put a couple extra shots in my S’mores frappucino. π
Ooh, I do know that song. It makes me want to read it more. π I really need to learn the names of songs I hear. *grins* I so many songs, but if you ask me by name, I’ll stare at you and think huh?
Alright, I know that I’m reading an angsty book by the same author, but Diamond keeps coming back to my head. *sighs* One of THOSE types of books.
The Avoiding series was a dnf. I didn’t like any of them.
I want one of those smores fraps. They look so good. I adore marshmallow anything.
Thanks guys so much for your suggestions! I’ve read How to Kill a Rockstar and loved it! Carnage I don’t think I’ll ever read it since I know what happens at the end of the first book and yeah I can’t take it lol
So I started Overruled and I am loving it! Stanton Shaw has the potential to win my heart π
I have Diamonds on my Kindle but I think I am going to wait until the entire series is published. From K.A. Linde I’ve only read the Record series and really liked it, so I am excited for this new one.
I still haven’t read The Avoiding series either but have it and I got Diamonds but no CH for me right now…I’m still finishing The Beginning of Never and am dreading the end!
Tessa, yep Jennifer Estep usually wraps things up in individual books even though the story is ongoing.
Anne………It’s Mayhem by Jamie Shaw……soooooo gooood!!!!!!…..I totally got my rock star fix with this one;)
Deborah now I need to read it! Its going to be my next read π I’ll keep you posted!
I finished Overruled and LOVED it! I totally fell in love with Stanton Shaw and Sofia was amazing too. I totally recommend this book!
Alright, I have to ask. Does the past/ present switch off ever stop? I’m at 21% and feel like hitting something because every chapter goes to the past. I just want to know it will stop eventually. Please?
Oh and see. Michelle, You get to read her next! No CH, technically. I will be getting that next week, and then devouring it. *grins*
Deborah, did you read book two of the Mayhem book? (No worries, Anne. They are standalones. The second is about another bandmate). I’ve been staring at it, curious.
Oh, I read the first chapter of Gold, and the CH is basically the end of Diamonds. Then, it goes to months later. Which, poor girl.
Alright, back to the past!
Alright, last in my over posting. :/ Anne, thank you for reading Overruled. I was really looking at that, and only the price slowed me down, since the author is unknown to me. I’ll put it on my tbr.
Tessa, past/present can be tricky for me. I just be getting into the story and it switches to past and then be getting into the past and switch.
For the most part I think I like when the start in the past and then end up in the present. A Place to Call Home I thought did this well.
For the switch I enjoyed Creed. I also liked the The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, though that was a historical/contemporary switch. I love those covers in that series and am going to have to finish it……sometime,lol.
Anne, Come Dancing by Leslie Wells is a good rock star book. It’s .99 right now as is the sequel.
Tessa, I think it’s just a matter of preference and sometimes even just a matter of being in the right mood for a past-present sort of book. Like Bev said, she prefers the past first and then the present…I can go with either type – past and then present or past-present combo – but there have been times when it just wasn’t done well or I just wasn’t in the mood for past-present switches, so it didn’t work for me. Avoiding Commitment worked for me but I can see how it might not work for others.
If you can stick with it then you’ll have quite the angst ride ahead of you! At least it was for me. π
Okay. I just get frustrated with the oooh, this happened. Now for the past to tell you why this was bad. *smacks head* I can handle past and present back and forth, but the angst is lessened big time if I don’t know why I should be worried.
Finished The Beginning of Never and the ending was sooo annoying! I think the next part comes out in June/July. Will I read it, yes, but just because I want to know what happens and not because the book was amazing…it was just an average read. Not much happens really but I was intrigued to see if there will be something paranormal in the next one or if the Twilight comparison was off the mark. No way should this be compared to E&P either…that’s…well laughable.
I’m going to my tbr next and starting the Krinar Chronicles by Anna Zaires. Fabi, have you seen this series? I need scifi again. I thought PNR but this grabbed my attention.
Tessa I love Emma’s writing! Its funny at times and very passionate. What I also love is that we get to see what the main characters are thinking since its written in dual POV’s. I am sure you are going to like Overruled and you should totally check out Tangled too π
Bev thank you for the heads up! I am checking it out right now!
Anne, I like most of the rock star books mentioned already, favorite being Thoughtless, but I also loved The Storm series by Samantha Towle and I enjoyed The Stage Dive series by Kylie Scott. π
Tessa………. I did read book 2 after Mayhem and I liked Mayhem more…..lets just say I rated Mayhem 5* and Riot 4* but a lot of people said they liked it just as much….. I guess just your preference.
Cheryl I loved all of those too! π
Deborah I am loving Adam! I can totally picture him on my mind and he is HOT lol
Deborah, that’s what I was afraid of. I’ll still try it, but it didn’t seem as interesting as Mayhem ended up being.
Honest truth, I totally have to read the Mighty Storm again. I honestly don’t remember a thing. I thought it was a pnr I read. :/
Tessa I just remember being really annoyed at the h from the Mighty Storm lol
Michelle – according to my Kindle, I read Krinar Chronicles book 1 in May 2014. I am trying to remember it!!! I didn’t read book2….. hmm….. trying so hard to remember. I’ll be interested in what you think so I can decide if I need to revisit it.
Anne, I don’t even remember that! The picture, the name… I thought it was some weird pnr with magic or something. lol It’s now in my read it when in a funk mode collection. π
Michelle I have Close Liasons in my tbr. Let me know how you like it.
Just finished Mayhem and loved it! Thank you so much for the suggestion guys! Adam Everest rocked my world!
I am starting The Hook Up by Kristen Callihan π
Tessa lol at the pnr confussion! I liked it but its not one of my favorite rock star books. Its not a book I’ll re-read.
I actually finished book 1 of the Krinar Chronicles before starting Affair but I liked it, not loved but enough that I want to go to the next book after I finish my current to see where the story is going. It’s about a shy, yes virgin *cough cliche* that catches the attention of a Krinar who are aliens that have peacefully come to Earth. They claim they created humans from their own DNA and want to improve our living conditions and even changed our diet worlwide to promote healthier living and to save the planet because they are interested in cohabitation. It’s interesting and was a fast read so like I said I will probably just finish the trilogy since it did hold my attention. Ok back to Affair which I more than like right now π
You guys are too funny! Tessa, great description of the week! Haha!
OK, so I am down the shore this weekend and I have no WiFi! Ugh? Affair downloaded on my phone but but my Note! Grrr… Gotta go find a hotspot somewhere.
Thanks for the feedback Michelle.
