Following my heart, one book at a time...
Flawed
Wow… I don’t know how I feel about this one. Honestly. Mostly… great, but when I was finished… *sigh* I dunno. A somber read that was completely out of my romance element and even out of my “somber-romance” element, but I still mostly enjoyed it. I was completely in the mood for this book after eavesdropping on a few of our group on Facebook.
Johanna: Wow!! just finished reading Flawed, and all I can say is wow what a great great read whoever recommended it kudos to you.
WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT!! Congratulations to MOLLY F (who has responded to her email notification and will be receiving this signed book!)
‘Tis true!! I have one copy of Lover Awakened (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 3) for ME, and one for…. maybe you?
While I read through a few on my current TBR list, and attempt to find myself another OMG BEST EVER favorite (*fingers crossed* ’cause I’m in a bit of a book slump. Good books, yes!! Just not “OMG-I-wanna-stay-up-allll-night-reading” good, ya know? I know there are TONS of awesome potential ones in my list, I just gotta find ’em)…

My friend and I read this one together awhile back and it’s darkish tone kinda freaked us out. At the time, I didn’t officially review it, ’cause my reading focus was on a more angsty romance level (and this has it!), but now that I know so many of us delight in romance books with a dark aura, I realize this one is right up our reading alley!
I felt him pause though I refused to look up. I’d learned a long time ago how to survive in Hell. The less I interacted with him the better.
It’s time for another “What to Read After…” list, and this one has some of my absolute forever-favorites! This list could easily have been called…
“What to read after Hopeless/The Sea of Tranquility/Edge of Never…”
I have been asked over and over again for some suggestions, and I’ve found with many of our fellow readers, if you loved one of ’em, you’ll love ’em all.
I’m choosing to name it “What to Read After Hopeless” though, ’cause:
VAIN
A refreshing take on the rich “bad girl” story. I was hesitant at first, thinking this might be one of the “same-y” types where the love of a good man changes the typical mean girl, and I worried that I might not connect to her (even knowing that… of course, her growth and self-realization would eventually become the main focus). I expected that it would become that way through a more melodramatic, angsty feel, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Great… no… gorgeous writing, and it had a certain depth. While there was that beautiful man that made me (and her) swoon, it was her new situation that opened her eyes… and her heart. I went into this not having a clue about where the story was going (simply because I “expected” a certain outcome by the title alone) and didn’t investigate further. I simply went with the delighted recommendations…
