36. Rock Star by Lexi Adair
37. Rock Me by Cherrie Lynn
38. Unleashed by Cherrie Lynn – awesome little romance, but her book #2 (Rock Me) easily overshadowed it!!

41. The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter

45. Blindsided by Sayer Adams
46. Book Review – For all the Right Reasons by Ann Lister (contemporary romance)
47. Samson’s Lovely Mortal by Tina Folsom
48. Maid for the Billionaire by Ruth Cardello – free and was full on contemporary romance. Good read. Didn’t blow me away, but I was into it. No nonsense “maid” (just a temp) puts billionaire in his place. He’s intrigued, but that sort of gets him into trouble…
49. Ashes of Angels by Michelle Hauf (not finished – couldn’t get into this…)
50. Amaury’s Hellion by Tina Folsom
51. Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
52. Forever Mine (The Moreno Brothers 1) by Elizabeth Reyes (meh. too young for my tastes. Bad boy teen falls for good girl teen. Some trouble ensues… an “older” version would have been more to my liking).
53. Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park
54. Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison
55. Tangled Web by Jade C. Jamison
56. How to Kill a Rock Star by Tiffanie DeBartolo
57. Loves Road Home by Lisa Lewis (not finished – the writing was distracting, and heroine got on my nerves)
58. California Dream by Kara Jorges (not finished – wayyyy too 80’s rockstar-ish for me to enjoy it.)
59. Breathe by Abbi Gline (disney-esque type of  YA but with dark undertones “pop star” falls for maid)
60. Unwritten Rules by M.A. Stacie
61. Retribution by Sherrilyn Kenyon

71. Effortless by S.C. Stephens
72. Bloodlines by Richelle Mead (still reading)
73. One Grave at a Time by Jeaniene Frost
74. Sophie’s Turn by Nicky Wells (marry accountant or rock star?) Good and somewhat disappointing. Heroine’s thought processes reminded me of a “flitting hummingbird” – nonstop chatter. Had so much potential, good romantic angst and tension, but a couple of characters sorely disappointed me…
75. The Reluctant Dom by Tymber Dalton
76. Envy by J.R. Ward
77. Laid Bare by Lauren Dane (still reading)
78. Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James
79. Fifty Shades Darker by E. L. James
80. For All The Wrong Reasons by J.L. Paul
81. Pulled by Amy Lichtenhan – deep, dark, emotional story – very sad, scary circumstances, risky heroine, very good, but not the kind of book you “fall in love with”
82. Sheet Music by Tibby Armstrong – too much sex too fast… story got better towards middle but I struggled to continue it at first. Reminded me too much of “Rock Star by Lexi Adair“
83. Vicious Circles by J.L. Paul – part 2 of the rock and story – almost better than the first, but best friend premise was irritating. She needed to get over herself!
84. Across the Hall by NM Facile
85. Club Shadowlands by Cherise Sinclair
86. Dark Citadel by Cherise Sinclair
87. Please Don’t Stop the Music by Jane Lovering
88. The Sexiest Vampire Alive by Kerrelyn Sparks

90. Wide Awake by AngstGoddess003 (fanfic … not finished)
91. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rock Star by Heather Lynn Rigaud
92. Fallen From Grace by Laura Leone – very good!! Neighbor male escort, and they become close. Tortured hero and past.
93. Home For The Holidays by Jeaniene Frost (The Bite Before Christmas Anthology)
94. A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
95. Between the Lines by Tammara Webber
96. Where You Are by Tammara Webber
97. The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred
98. Finding Home by Bonnie Dee and Lauren Baker
99. Strangers by Barbara Elsborg
100. Comfort Object by Annabel Joseph

103. At Peace by Kristen Ashley
104. The Gamble By Kristen Ashley
105. Lady Luck by Kristen Ashley
106. Hot Night by Shannon McKenna
107. Captive in the Dark by CJ Roberts (dark and eerie and creepy… reminded me of Kitty Thomas’s Comfort Food with all the Stockholm Syndrome issues)
108. Love at First Flight by Marie Force (fluffy candy romance read – not amazing but fine and fun for something easy and quick between intense reads)

112. Fury by Laurann Dohner
113. If I Stay by Gayle Forman

116. Defying the Odds by Kele Moon
117. On The Island by Tracey Garvis Graves
