Just finished my first book of 2022! I had wished to finish in December and was close, but this works too. 🙂 Looking back, I actually had a really great reading year. Not many contemporary romances if at all, but I’m ok with it. My tastes are ever changing. So, The Maid released today. It was an add on for my book of the month subscription, but I skipped bc I couldn’t just get that one and the main picks didn’t interest me. I may give it a try on kindle, but also have an arc I have been procrastinating on, and really want to give The Bridge Kingdom a try. Random, all totally different choices to keep life interesting. 😂
You DID have a great reading year. So many awesome recommendations from you. 🙂
I have to re-arrange my TBR list and dig in this year. I one-click so many and still… yep. Re-arrange my Kindle time!
I’m trying to resist the one-clicking, for now. I have a few that I’m really wanting over the next few months and so many physical books judging me. So, I actually decided to go with The Inheritance Games. Hoping it’s a winner.
What a great release week!! Busting out my Christmas Amazon Gift card. I was been waiting for Susan Stoker’s Shielding Sierra and Natasha Madison’s latest. If you are looking for a good series and like baseball romances, you should read Kaylee Ryan’s Out of Reach Series. A good series to just curl up with a blanket and read. Next week has some great releases too with Sawyer Bennett’s Baden.
Shielding Sierra and Natasha’s sound amazing!! Imagine calling your one night stand, and the number doesn’t work? GASP!! INSULT! Plus the baby…
I’m so curious about that one… sounds like it’ll be angsty at first.
I’ve devoured all of Natasha Madison’s Hockey series!! As far as Shielding Sierra, you know when an author teases about a character in 3 books prior and you finally get their story!
That’s the BEST!! Like it was with Zsadist in Black Dagger Brotherhood. The brooding bad-ass that was angry at the world and everyone was warned to STAY AWAY from him…
And then HIS book. Ahhhhhhh I need to re-read that.
I’m going to read Miss Dignified. I’ve read and liked the other two books in the series. Hope this one is good too 😀
I totally thought of you when I highlighted that one!!! 😀
This is my second go to get through. Any way my first book of the year was the worst guy by Kate Canterbary and my it did set a high bar for the rest of the year a strong 5 stars
Agree!!!
Sebastian is sexy, arrogant, often dirty talking ER physician. On the quiet devilish side. A compelling intense character in this E-to-L story. 🙂 *sigh*
Looking forward to your best list for 2021 Mony
Thanks! It’s coming…
Well there I thought I would be stuck in a book rut, just finished Rooted by Susan Fanetti ( Pagano Family). Another 5 stars
Yeah Ana, Rooted is a good one 🙂
Reading some BOTM books…all were good this round!
1. The Girl in 6E (Deanna Madden #1) by A.R. Torre (Same author as The Good Lie, which I loved) – Mystery & murder. About a sex cam girl with a unique personality (mowhaha). It starts slow but really builds up. Will be reading the next one, Do Not Disturb. 4⭐
2. Bad Cruz by LJ Shen – I’ve haven’t been connecting with Shen’s books lately. But I read this one at one go and enjoyed it. Some points taken off for some of the H’s douchey behaviour & values that didn’t work in the book or sit right with me. But I’m likely in the minority. 3.5-4⭐
3. Crow by A. Zavarelli- Down to last few chapters but wanted to send this in. Not a big fan of mafia romances but this one is very good! About an Irish mafia leader Lachlan Crow. He’s hot, smart, fierce, and loyal to the family above all else. He’s fantastic! Love Irish Hs. Oh, and the h, Mack, is a sassy and strong woman, who’s great at being a thorn in his side. Lots of action, chemistry, heat & banter +++ 4.5⭐
FLT
“Damn, I love the sound of screaming in the moonlight.”
Dark Fae by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti
I finished The Inheritance Games and haven’t read a book that quick in too long! I loved it. It was like being in an escape room, the ones I’ve been to are all mysteries to be solved to get “out”. Loved all the riddles and secret compartments. Found family or no one you can trust? And possible love triangle. ❤️
YAY TASHA!! thank you for the feedback. I’ll put it on today’s Friday Finds list. 🙂
