Eden Butler – Thin Love Series Reading Order

April 2, 2016 By Maryse 4 Comments

SPORTS STAR SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE ALERT! Since we’re on a sports star kick, I thought I’d bring this series around considering some of us loved books by this author in another series altogether. 😉 Did you guys know she wrote about a football star? P.S. Book #1 is on super-bargain sale today. 😀

Shannon: I am 54% into Thin Love and I am enjoying it.

Lori: Love this book!!

Deborah: This is a must read!!!!! Best book for 2014!!!!

About book #1:

Love isn’t supposed to be an addiction. It isn’t supposed to leave you bleeding. Kona pushed, Keira pulled, and in their wake, they left behind destruction. She sacrificed everything for him. It wasn’t enough. But the wounds of the past can never be completely forgotten and still the flame remains, slumbers between the pleasure of yesterday and the thought of what might have been. read more

Book Review – Unseen Messages by Pepper Winters

Unseen Messages: a survival romance novel
Having never read, yet but heard so much about this author’s trademark “dark romance reads” I was very excited when I found our she wrote THIS one. ‘Cause it’s about a plane crash on a deserted island, and if there’s anything I love more than a dark read, it’s one about survival, and all of the precarious and scary stuff that goes with it.

And even more so when it involves a real companionship between people that may never have given each other the time of day before such an event. But it’s that bond, the care and eventually love of each other that provides them equal (if not more) sustenance than the sparse food and water does. Because it feeds their lonely souls. Imagine being completely alone on a deserted island with no help, nobody to talk to and no way of knowing if you’ll ever be rescued? For days… months, or even years on end? Gah… that thought alone makes me feel like I’m suffocating! read more
