Found some goodies and some VERY SERIOUS ADAMANT reader recommendations (you’ll see ’em below). Can’t miss ’em. PLUS! I just found yet another one that I was dying to read like… half a year ago, and totally forgot (the one where she’s hiding her pregnancy and the hot military medic discovers her secret at a party they’re both at). Well it’s back on sale, I added it below AND I’m putting it on my TBR list (I’ll be posting my latest TBR list tonight).
And for this of you that missed it, here is my latest review for a new rock-star romance release that I LOVED!! My Book Review of Beat by Vi Keeland <— So of course, I HIGHLY recommend it on today’s list. This is my own personal recommendation. 😀
P.S. Let me know if I’m missing any or if you loved any (from this list or elsewhere).

- One to Leave (One to Hold Book 5) by Tia Louise <— SUPER-BARGAIN for the weekend only!!
- The Ground Rules by Roya Carmen <— TWO MARRIED COUPLES & A JAW-DROPPING PROPOSAL ALERT!!! This new release from Tuesday gave me a SERIOUS blurb-jolt, i put it in my “highlights” and now it’s getting RAVE reviews!!
Amy: The Ground Rules…now THAT is all kinds of messedupedness just waitin’ to happen. Perfect!!
DianeM: You guys should try The Ground Rules!! … it was SO good! Finished at 2am, could not put it down or sleep. It totally felt like Indescent Proposal (remember with Robert Redford?!) Gah! So good, I haven’t stayed up all night to read since last year lol… it’s 100% unapologetic swinging and both couples have kids AND it’s gonna be a trilogy FYI (cliffhanger wasn’t bad, felt complete)
Kandace: Maryse – I’m feeling really shouty right now. I picked up The Ground Rules by Roya Carmen from your list this week and I freakin’ loved everything about it. I think this is the authors debut book and it was sooooo good. The Ground Rules is a sensual story about a normal couple (Gage and Mirella) who one day cross paths with the alluring and enchanting Weston and Bridget. And oh boy…. their world is about to change because of this chance meeting (it’s sooooo good, did I already say that? LOL!!). The rules seem simple enough, but as emotions and bonds form, slowly the rules become muddled. We slowly start to see the cracks in their plan. This story is very erotic, sensual and forbidden. I found myself rooting for a certain couple. Their chemistry was off the chart HOT. I was a little nervous going into this book. I picked it up in a whim and read it straight through in one sitting. I can’t wait for the next book. I’m totally obsessed. Now I’m stalking poor Roya for the next book.
Sally: Okayyyy that’s ALL I want to know. Going to go in blind , it’s the only way I roll (have to finish what I’m reading first)…
Amy: Diane, that’s good to know about Ground Rules! How’s the angst level in it? Once again, my moral book compass just went *pblttt*!!!
Diane: It was high angst for me Amy, had a bit of an Arsen feel but the husband is the tattoo covered bad boy

The next Rocker book!!! I’ve been waiting for Liam and Gabriella’s story for a long time! How did I not know this was coming out?
Ah Ground Rules is making me twitchy especially after reading Kandace’s comment/shout recommendation and I’m trying to finish third book of Fallen Crest…….
1 clicked so many from Tuesday’s and today’s list. Just started The Vixen and the Vet as I think someone on here recommended it? Loved Beat – better than Throb. Really like the sound of 1000 kisses to sanity as that looks like it could be amusing, oh and 1 clicked the ground rules…
How have I missed Impulse and A Life Worth Fighting before?? One sounds crazy naughty and possibly angsty while the other sounds heartbreaking…PERFECT!!!! 😀
Jean, let me know if/when you read Fallen Fourth Down…I’ll read it if you will, m’kay? I’m probably being a *bawk bawk* for no reason. 😉 And Ground Rules is a definite upcoming read for me!
Amy I don’t know that I will jump right into FFD…..I kinda need a break from the YA genre and that’s why Ground Rules is screaming for me!!!!!
Jean – You’ll love The Ground Rules! I am thinking of reading the one about the pregnant girl and medic.
I’m done with Forever Checking (third book in trilogy) by Jennifer Jamelli now!!! 😉 I LOVED it. I can’t get the characters out of my head. I’m so insecure about the new Christian Grey book. Have anyone of you read it? I’m starting BLUE by HJ Bellus tonight;) It looks awesome!:)
Thanks Kandace! I think that’s my next read! I downloaded the one about the medic and pregnant girl when Maryse first posted it. Keep me updated on how you like it! I definitely need a change of pace!
Reed’s Reckoning is sooooooo good!!!!!
Is Love in rewind a series??? Just wanted to know if there’s a cliffhanger or not.
** annnnd Lee passes out!! **
seriously.. I just wanted to announce i will start Eleanor and Park tomorrow ..but but..but
Maryse posted THAT!!! Now i have all this feels about 1000 kisses and Ground Rules!!
ARGHHHH
** rocks in the corner .. while staring at Maryse** 😛 😛 😛
Finally done with the Blood and Roses series. I see why it’s the end, but not. No cliff hanger. Though, I have to read a side book now called Rebel eventually. Still, I liked it and got my money’s worth. Four days reading it! That’s pure awesome.
Another Rocker book and it’s THE rocker book I’ve been waiting for. Yet… next month. Oooh, next month will be rockstar month. Beat, Rocker who… and Insider!
Still Reading Curveball and it has not been what I expected. So far it is not your typical sports romance because for the moment his being a baseball player isn’t playing into the story; so far. Definitely enjoying the story and curious where it is going. 😉
Gonna be a big baby and wait until The Ground Rules trilogy is complete before starting it.
A Life Worth Fighting….Oh My!!
I had tears just reading the blurb 🙁
seriously wanted to throw my iPad when I finished King!! My husband had to take it and walk away slowly with it…lol
Okay, I forgot who mentioned The Warded Man (It having similarities to Unholy Ghost Trilogy). Whomever, thank you. I’m reading it and liking it. *grins*
* squeeeee* Tessa! You’re reading The Warded Man. *double sqeeee* It’s one of my all time favorite epic fantasy series. Oh god, don’t tell me if you hate it. No, wait, tell me anyways. Lol
So far, not much has happened. The writing’s good, but I’m only on page 32. Got it from the library last week and figured this would be my next read. I’ll tell you when I’ve read a bit more. It’s one of those, so far so good types. *grins*
Yeah, its epic fantasy so it builds up slow(er). Plus the MC is really young at the beginning but he grows up as the series continues.
I figured as much, considering he’s 11 and doesn’t like playing Kissy. lol I love epic fantasies. The exception is Wheel of Time. The author writes too many useless words.
Just finished beat after a wonderful time at the baby a&e with a suspected broken arm which turned out to be ….nothing!really?!
So I noticed you guys doing favourite lists so mines is…..
Madeleine Sheehan undeniable series
Jr ward -BDB!!
Tarryn fisher – love me with lies series
Kim Harrison – Rachel Morgan series
RL Mathewson – NFH
Kresley cole – IAD
And it’s a toss up between Kirsten Ashley’s rock chicks, fantasyland, the burg and yeah everything else she wrote lol
I’m sure there is loads more but I just can’t think of them like hunger games, game of thrones, terry pratchetts discworld there’s just to many to write!!
I bought Ground Rules yesterday afternoon, wrote a review this morning. So so so good. I really fell in love with the characters. All of them. I kinda wished they would just all end up together, one big happy family. lol~
Is there any word on when the other 2 books following Ground Rules will be released?
I *really* want to read ground rules but the fact that there are still two more books coming is what’s holding me back. 😕 Hopefully someone will be able to answer your question Cheryl ’cause I’d like to know too!
I am with Sherry though on A Life Worth Fighting…definitely an *oomph* blurb! I’m thinking that one is next for me…
Has anyone read Bang by E.K. Blair? It sounds unapologetically dark and twisted. It’s on sale for $0.99
Lol Steph! That is interesting….. I’m telling you guys!!! Very slight cliffy, i was good with the way it ended actually, felt very complete and it was so good it was totally worth it, such an all consuming wild ride. The sex was insanely hot. The next book is in the next 6 months it seems, and i have to say, i wouldn’t have slept for days if it was all out, i almost needed the break
Convinced???!!
So, I mentioned I won a book a couple weeks ago, Because you are Mine by Beth Kerry. It was part of an anniversary giveaway and didn’t know what book until it came in mail.
Then I entered to win some swag from RT that the that blog was giving away. Usually I don’t enter these cause know might win stuff I won’t use, you know? But thought what the heck. Package just came.
