Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – August 17th 2018

By 45 Comments

Happy Friday!! It’s time for the Friday Finds (which I’m still currently working on will be adding more throughout the day), so keep checking back.
My family is leaving today and my heart is a bit sad, but  my book will keep me company. 😉 I will be reading ALL weekend. YAY ME!!!
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE FOUND FOR THE WEEKEND :D !!

  • The Charm of You by Jennifer Probst <— LIVE!!! LATEST BY JENNIFER PROBST!!! She was once an awkward college student and he was the popular jock... “…when Nolan comes back into town, and doesn’t even recognize the girl he once destroyed, she decides to invoke her own personal revenge. The plan is simple—make him fall hard for her, then dump him. She transforms herself into his perfect woman using three simple steps to spin her web. But she never planned on getting caught up in old feelings…and new promises…”
  • Ghosted by J.M. Darhower <— GASP!!! SUPER-BARGAIN ALERT!! This is a MUST READ (I gave it 5 STARS!!!) and here’s my review

Tessa: Ghosted. That one worked beautifully. *swoons* That one is worthy of a re-read.
Ashley: Ghosted by J.M. Darhower. I bought it this morning and listened to it at work today…it was SO good! I love a great second chance romance.
Leslie M: Ghosted: Those journal entries KILLED me. Her love & devotion and then heartbreak punched me right in the feels. …Ghosted is one of my all time faves!!!
Nay: Let me just say that everyone was so, SO right! Ghosted is RUINING me–and I LOVE it! read more

Reader Question – Any recommendations for Stockholm Syndrome books that don’t necessarily end in an HEA?

By 14 Comments

Charlene is looking for a very specific “Dark” genre… and oooooohhhh yes! I LOVE going through that whole “in love with a very bad guy” dark kind of story, and having no clue how it’s going to end. There are a few that end *ahem* in a loving way, for sure, but not all of them do. All that attachment and wanting to please (even if it’s so wrong) and in the end…?

Hrmmmm… I certainly have a few that come to mind!! Okay I’m going to dig into my reviews, and see what I can pull up, but BEWARE!!!!! These recommendations are sort of “spoilery” in that Charlene is looking for a particular kind of ending. We might not know exactly how it ends (twists etc), but if it’s recommended here, there’s a chance it doesn’t end sweet. Er… well, I guess it depends on the character. 😉 read more

Reader Question – What are some of the best, unputdownable books you all have read lately and would recommend?

By 36 Comments

Today’s reader question day will feature specific reader requests for genre recommendations. Let’s make lists!! 😀

Okay, Debbie asks:

Hi all I have been so busy I have not been able to read for a while and every time I do pick up a book I lose interest quickly. Seems like the same plots just different characters. I am going on vacation and I want a book that is unputdownable 😉

Like the old days, Bones and Cat, Slammed, Thoughtless those are just a few that popped in my head. I have read so many great books!
I just want to get my love for reading back and take a break from the real world. What are some of the best books you all have read lately and would recommend. read more

Ella Frank – Confessions Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

ELLA FRANK’S LATEST M/M romance series, and book #6 WILL BE LIVE in just a couple of weeks!!

Lara: Whole series is amazeballs , Go one click it if you don’t already have it

About book #1:

Relationships are complex. Love ever-changing. And when it comes to rules of the heart, they were made to be broken…

That’s what Robert Antonio Bianchi was telling himself, anyway. Otherwise, he really had no excuse for what—or who—he’d done. No excuse, except for his lonely heart, a pitcher of margaritas, four Bitter Bitches, and the apparent need to confess all his weaknesses to the two men he knew would bring him nothing but trouble.

But trouble was nothing new.

Just ask his crazy sisters or any of his friends, and they’d be the first to tell you: If there was a bad decision to be made, Robbie always had a knack for making it.

And thus begins the story of the priest, the princess, and the prick. read more
