  • MONY HAS SOME DARK/BULLY READ RECOMMENDATIONS FOR US!!

Mony:Β Some dark/bully reads, you say? some options…

  • Captive by Lewis (kind of book you don’t come up for air…bit long-ish but worth it)
  • In Peace Lies Havoc (Midnight Mayhem #1) by Amo Jones (crazy/bully..”I can’t believe it”)
  • Play Along by T L Swan
  • The Banker by P. Sky (trilogy)

Tasha J: Omg thank you!!! I’ve not read any of these yet and while I looked at some last night on Amazon and reviews, I just got so overwhelmed. I like recommendations rather than trying to find a needle in a haystack.

  • Blair Babylon <—Β Blair Babylon ALERT!! MONY HAS JUST DISCOVERED THIS AUTHOR & IS LOVING HER!!

Mony:Β Been reading some Blair Babylon books, and I’ve found two books that are amazing…part of Runaway Billionaires series. It’s about three good friends who are wealthy, hot and smart.

Started with the duet about Lord Arthur and I loved it!…Stiff Drink & Hard Liquor (about an rakish earl & Texan barrister in London)

Next one up is Max Grimaldi, the H in Rogue and he may be the best of the trio. I think I’ll read the prequel β€œOne night in Monaco” beforehand although these are standalone.

  • JAN’S RECOMMENDATIONS ARE A HIT!!!! Mony is loving those, too! πŸ˜€

Mony:Β πŸŽ‰ I want to send kudos to Jan…because I seem to be reading SO many of her book recommendations!

Among those was

Kate Canterbary, who pens well-written, crisp, steamy, with some β€œfeels” (such a strange word) novels…as J. says, some are better than others.

  • Walsh Family series; Cornerstone 5+β˜…, Spire 3β˜…, Preservation 5β˜…
  • As well as as β€œfeel good” books: Boss in the Bedsheets 4β˜… & Before Girl 4β˜…

Next is her recent HR rec, the Deverell Series by Jayne Fresina.Β Binged on book #1, True Story, until the wee hours of the morning because it was so captivating. (It’s a GR buddy reads) Definitely in my top 10 HR reads. Characters are fabulous, and the setting in a castle on an island in Cornwall is perfect & bit gothic. True Deverell is unique – I’ve never seen an H like him in any HR novel. (Slow paced like a Zapata book) 5β˜…+

Last, Rosalind James’ New Zealand Ever After series…Kiwi Rules (#1), Stone Cold Kiwi (#2) & Kiwi Strong (#3). Standout for me was #2…a top book boyfriend Maori doctor. *sigh* Now starting on her other series. 4-5β˜…

Keep em coming Ms Jan!

Jan: We must be book twins *hugs* Glad you have found some new authors to enjoy.

Good morning!!

Maryse remember when I said I was struggling with Butcher Box’s steaks? I finally tried the Bavette and loved it! I didn’t know what it was so I just threw it in the air fryer on the steak setting, then added a few minutes because it was thick. It was so good! One of them sort of unrolled like a flank steak but it wasn’t tough like one. The others stayed in a mini log shape. It would be great with a Asian or Mexican lime marinade (and used for fajitas). Also, they have lobster again! Woop!

Actually they resent me 2 rib-eyes too since I complained about them, and I threw them in there because normal cooking methods didn’t seem to work and they were fantastic! And I made chicken thighs in there last night that were to die for. So far, meat is my favorite thing to cook in there.

This is the recipe I’m going to try next time on the bavette steaks. We’ll eat them with (low carb) tortillas and pico. https://www.howsweeteats.com/2018/05/flank-steak/

I’m making Mexican lime marinated steaks today!!! πŸ˜€

Well… actually 1 Bavette and 1 pack of beef tips <--- I'm not a fan of beef tips so much I find them gamey... BUT!!!! Marinated for hours in lime juice and jalapeΓ±os and Mexican spices?? I think that might just cut that nasty gamey-flavor out!!Thank you for the air-fryer Mexican steak inspiration R!!

Birthday Girl and Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas are currently free. I just moved them up my TBR. But I think The Cabin is my next read! But I can’t start it until after the election as I am working the next 4 days a polling station.

Ride by Harper Dallas. I agree with JulieO…it’s a fabulous read! My top sports romance for this year. Well written – without the cliches you find in most sport romance books. Characters are grounded, real. And like JulieO said, you learn a lot about snowboarding along the way. 5β˜… for sure.

Just received my November Goodreads buddy read books! All sound great! ☺️ Some are below…hope to report back…

Cellar Door by Trisha Wolfe – dark romance…abduction…looks fantastic
Makenna Davies is abducted and must unravel the mystery of her captor and the dark secret that entangles both their lives.

Creeping Beautiful by J.A. Huss GR 4.45. Not too dark but intense and unique.
About three men who buy a girl, Indie, on an auction block, then raise her and withhold secrets from her…

Out of Love by Jewel E. Ann
Our BR group read the Jack & Jill trilogy in October (we loved it!!). Then some of us went on to read One (about one of the characters in J&J). Now onto this book…about someone closely connected to one of the MCs πŸ˜‰

I totally understand…I first read that book a long time ago…and this time skimmed it to pick up parts about one MC, so didn’t read lots of it. I’m going back to take a look.
I have the same reaction to racism in books as well as other things like incorrect portrayal of characters with disabilities and that fine line where it becomes a “romanticism” of violence…

I’m watching Bly Manor. I’m on episode 3. I thought about jumping into that new Xmas movie, cuz it looks fun and I feel the brainwashing pull of all the stores (and more) Xmas stuff out into celebrating early. But, I was firm in making myself watch something adult and creepy for Halloween. I’m enjoying it a bunch!
I tried reading some today but my brain needs a break.

LANI LYNN VALE'S LATEST IS LIVE!! SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE WITH A BAD BOY!!!

β€œβ€¦we were once again reunited. Only this time in an undercover FBI investigationβ€”me, the FBI officer, and Troup call sign β€˜State’ as a military liaison. Trouble always finds him. You’d do better to run far, far away. Truer words had never been spoken.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #SecondChanceRomance

From the time Troup was a young boy, he’d been in some kind of trouble. So it only goes to show when he winds up in the FBI investigation with none other than Beckham Spurlock, his high school sweetheart, things are bound to go wrong.

Only, he has no idea how wrong until things go bad. Really, really bad…”
