Bad Ones is out? Already? *One click* She’s an auto buy author for me.
I just finished reading Stuck-Up Suit. Let me first say I loved Cocky Bastard. Loved it loved it loved it. I also loved the first half of Stuck-Up Suit. I enjoyed the banter between Graham and Soraya. I didn’t enjoy the twist that was thrown in and the everyone handled it. It felt like I was reading about high schoolers instead of adults. Would have liked to see more interaction with Graham’s grandma. So overall loved the first half but not so much the second.
Just finished Stuck Up Suit. I have to say that I love Cocky Bastard more (though Chase and his goat does make an appearance in Suit!). The twist in Stuck Up Suit and everything that followed were kind of predictable. It was still good, and Graham was hot and dirty. But Chase (and his butt) is still number one for me.
DICK by Scott Hildreth also went live over the weekend…sounds good.
Just finished The Beast – and dying for Kresley Cole release tonight. Big switch up. Callie Hart has new rekease tomorrow as well – Calico
I think it’s THIS MONTH that is full of wonderful releases!
Oh, an thank you about Bad Ones. I thought it was next week to be released.
I’m finally reading Paper Princess. I’m only 17% in and OMG LOVE it. Reed is ugh, which you know I adore. Bev was right. This is my type to a T.
YAY!!!! 😀
Yes, this is a great month indeed. We still have a Kristen Ashley book coming out!!
I’m so glad you’re loving it, Tessa. That book was a blast!
Loved Paper Princess, One Second and Shock Advised! I read them all over the weekend. Just when I’m in a slump, more goodies come out! YAY!! I’m reading Stuck up Suit and the Bad Ones next.
Can anyone think of any books where the heroine is a little “nerdy”? I read Breathe by Kristen Ashley and loved Faye and want more heroines like her!

Ela, how did you search for those lists? Did you scroll through the list of lists or is there a search feature somewhere?
Hey Fabi! In GR – Browse – Lists – then to the right side there is a box that says “search lists”, you type in you key words and voila…
Thank you Ela!
The Bad Ones is autobuy for me too – love SF!
Up to 63% of The Warded Man. Almost couldn’t get myself to put it down last night and hurried home to start back up! I need to finish tonight or I won’t sleep – Fabi look what you’ve done! MichelleS you NEED to read this book too, just saying 😉
I rarely preorder but Presley Cole’s Gamemaker Series is one of the few I do!! Have been waiting for the 3rd book forever. Dominants and Russian Mob is a perfect combination!
I’m halfway through Stuck Up Suit and I think I’m feeling the same as Stephanie already. Nothing can compare to Cocky Bastard!
Thanks Ela!!
Finished The Beast yesterday and it did not disappoint in the least. So many twists and turns and OMG moments. Each side story held my attention too.
I am going to finish up Forever Pucked, the onto Virgins!
Yay Sharon!! I’m going to read the Beast very shortly… thank you for the feedback. So far, it’s all been great! 😀
Okay so I’ll start Cocky Bastard instead. I just heard the same thing from Kelly on Facebook…
Great feedback guys!!
Michelle, HOW do you get to 63% of a books as long as The Warded Man while listening to narration IN ONE DAY?
I’m determined to figure out your secret to getting through as many books as you do while working as many hours as you do.
I am so glad you’re enjoying it!!! Yipeee *happy dance*
Haha Fabi, my secret is I bought the kindle book too since I can read faster than listen. I was so into it, that I’ve been doing both! Listened when getting ready in the morning, making dinner/cleaning, and my commute and read for like 3 hours straight last night. I got out of the house on time too because I was like oh well I can just continue listening in the car lol. I have the speed up higher on the narration too. I find most are too slow for me less than 1.5x depending on the narrator. Basically I’m obsessed with this one until I finish! But reading hints to make you faster besides reading a lot to train yourself – use bigger font. Whatever doesn’t strain your eyes and wide margins so more words are in the center of the page. Less horizontal eye movement gets you through a page faster. I also change up the background color periodically. I find sometimes, at least for me, I read ‘fresher’ if that makes sense with just a little visual change. Kinda like when you need a location change when working or studying to boost your attention back up.
*looks up The Warded Man*
OMG HORROR! You guys I LOVE horror! Am I looking at the right one?
Janie what about Nalini Singh’s Rock Addiction? Hot sexy rockstar falls for a (virgin) librarian. Eeek! Love this book. Very sexy. Or have you read the Beautiful series by Christina Lauren? Try Beautiful Player. Hanna is a sweet geeky nerd whose helpful brother organises for her to learn about dating from his best friend gorgeous player Will. Can Hanna be the one to change Will’s naughty ways? (Der … rhetorical question). Hanna and Will are delightful together. This a funny and sexy book.
Maryse after my current read I was thinking of starting Cocky Bastard too. I didn’t realize until yesterday it was a road trip book. Love those.
Horror? ummmm Tessa, Michelle, do you think The Warded Man is Horror? Personally, I’d call it fantasy. Maybe going so far as to call it a fantasy thriller?
There was a horror thriller I put on my suggestion list for Michelle. But it wasn’t this one.
Michelle, thank you so much for the tips! I’m going to try every one of them.
On another note, Magic Born by Caethes Faron wasn’t going to be available until April 12th, but it went live a little early AND she has it on sale for $0.99 right now. Her books are always more expensive than that. Magic Burn is a new adult urban fantasy. This first book is really the intro to the world. It’s going to be a really slow burn like The Others. :-/ in spite of the sexy panther shifter.
Thank you for that find, Fabi! I’m adding it to today’s new release list. 😀
The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett Maryse. I would say it’s mostly fantasy but I guess thriller/horror could apply secondarily. Demons are tearing people apart after dark and such…
Fabi, I copied the whole list and will pull out some of the others I haven’t read eventually. I will read any genre so they all looked great to me! Try the wider margins at least, and not crazy big font but big enough that you do not have to strain at all. Looking up Magic Born.
Hmmm. Magic Born. New NA urban fantasy series with sexy shifters. 0.99c. *Click*
I am definitely going to use all your tips!
The Warded Man definitely has darker aspects. Maybe Dark Fantasy?
lol – trying to describe it
Michelle one of these days I am going to talk you or MichelleS into reading Hominids and afterwards ya’ll are going to stare at me with your mouths hanging wide open… 😉
oh oh Jan, there’s no smexyness in this first book in that series…just letting you know
So I should read CB before SUS? Well, crap…
Or maybe I should just jump into Paper Princess…what say y’all?
I vote Sherlock.
Okay I’m already chuckling with glee reading Cocky Bastard, and I’m only in the first few pages. Tee hee!!!
Maryse that’s a super cute read.
lol Bev. What is Sherlock? Surely not the book series?
Okay this is ridiculous… i’m at 4% and I can’t stop cackling!!!!
Since the very start… my mom (we FaceTime) finally just said “WHAT?!!! WHAT IS SO FUNNY?!!”
And I’m all… “you just have to read it. It’s just funny”
So all that to say… the start? Priceless interactions. I AM SO IN!!!!!!!!!
Amy!!
I think bev and I are reading Cocky Bastard, so read that one with us!! 😀
bev ALWAYS votes Sherlock. Is it on Netflix?
My worry is, if I get involved in a TV series I won’t read….
Oh — it’s a TV/movie rec? Uhhhh, I really prefer books. lol
Is MO your husband?
I think it is but not sure. Each season is only 3 maybe 4 eps long. I still need to watch the last one.
Fabi, that’s cause you haven’t tried it yet. Benedict Cumberbatch & Martin Freeman….so so good. How many times have I steered you wrong? ……wait don’t answer that.
Ok that was weird
In my email it said her Mo was asking. Now it says mom, lol.
You know who’d like Sherlock? Your mom.
K thanks for the warning Fabi. But I’ve clicked it already at that bargain price and I’ll give it a go. Sounds pretty good anyway.
LOL bev!!!!!!
Okay now YOU just made me cackle. I have to read that to my MOM.
*sigh* Cocky Bastard it is. I do NOT have the ability to think for myself right now, so I’m (happily) letting you decide for me.
You know who wouldn’t like Sherlock, Bev? Our teachers. Because you and I are supposed to be doing homework.
BTW totally with you on the Sherlock series, Bev. A 21st century take on the old classics. Really well done. Benedict Cummerbatch makes a perfect Sherlock. Maybe Fabi you can watch it in the evening when your eyes are too tired for reading?? (Or is that impossible?)
Just going to do an assignment right now. Lol. Also why Star Wars is two days late.
Maryse, do you face time read together? That is so sweet.
Ask your fb crew I think they’d back Sherlock, lol.
Yes, Jan he is so great in that role, it is a fun show too.
lol Jan, I think when my eyes are too tired to read I’m usually falling asleep with a book or my Kindle on my face
Okay just… this book is BEYOND hilarious. I can’t freaking stop laughing and highlighting.
Tee hee bev. I just asked. *snort* 😛
Wow the ratings for Sherlock are VERY HIGH. Like crazy big love for it…
Thanks for the suggestions, Jan!
Watch them all be …um, no. Lol.
I’m getting great feedback on it, bev!! 😀 Looks like your series is popular!
Maryse! I KNEW YOU WOULD LOVE COCKY BASTARD!
The first 6 books in the Rylee Adamson series by Shannon Mayer is on sale for $0.99 a piece! Grab them! Great paranormal series with a badass heroine. Very good series and it is complete.
Thank you Jennifer! I added them to today’s list. 😀
I started Stuck-Up Suit today, and I’m loving it so far (at 45%), because as stuck up and pervy this guy is, these same traits are actually endearing on him. I’m a bit sad now reading a previous comment about it turning ‘high school’. Fingers crossed it ends well!
Also, shoot! Should I have read Cocky Bastard before I started on S-U Suit?
They can both be read as standalones, Celeste, so I think starting on either one is just fine. 😀
Paper Princess was soooo good. Pure happy good. Reed was just perfect, Ella was sassy, and I adored Easton and Valerie. *grins* SO much love for it right now.
Hey guys!! I finished reading last night Too Late by Colleen Hoover (its free on wattpad) and loved it!!! It was darker than anything I have read from her. I just love her writing so much!
I am 20% into Stuck Up Suit and really liking it! Love the banter between Soraya and Graham.
I just heard this from someone else, Anne. And I love Colleen Hoover so I have to check this one out. YAY US!!
Also The Player and the Pixie sounds so good!! He’s hot but bad in bed?? Lol I can see this being hilarious!!
Ooooh, and after that goodie I have Bad Ones to read!
Kresley Cole is live!
Anne, I finished Too Late by Colleen Hoover this weekend too. So good and so much angst – I was literally biting my nails by the end. Nothing like anything else she has written. I highly recommend it.
I went on a weekend break with my hubby this weekend (no children 🙂 ) I had promised him no kindle and no books. But on the ride there I remembered Maryse mentioning on facebook that Colleen Hoover had a book on Wattpad. I found it and had such a hard time putting it down during the weekend. Finished it saturday night at 2.30 am 🙂
Finished Marked in Flesh. So so good!! As Tessa said, yes, ooohh..skinny dipping scene I can’t wait for the next book to see how the relationship between Meg and Simon will progress…
