- UnbreakableΒ by Rebecca Shea <— Nancy found us this series on sale, saying: “…books on my Wish List just were reduced: UNBREAKABLE & UNDONE by Rebecca Shea…” Oh!! I like the falling for her “best friend’s brother” scenario! And it looks like there’s also tragedy that messes them all up!
- UndoneΒ by Rebecca Shea <— (and here’s #2)
Reclaiming the SandΒ by A. Meredith Walters <– I’m bringing this one back yet again, ’cause Louise said a magic word. She mentioned “Archer’s Voice” <— AND I LOVE THAT ONE! It’s already opn my TBR list, but it just moved right on up. She said:
Louise: I just finished Reclaiming the Sand by Meredith Walters and OMG it was exceptionnal! I think it was one of my best book ever. The writing style was amazing and the story was so powerful I have to admit I cried a little. For those who enjoyed Archer’s voice you will love this one!”

Louise: I love Archer too but I can’t even begin to tell you How much I loved this one!
Maryse’s Book Blog: Oh I LOVED Archer’s Voice!!!! Thank you Louise!

Being a sucker for great love stories, Lynsie makes it her mission to find Lincoln’s best friend and co-pilot, Dax Adams, a good woman.” <— oh oh. I see trouble already. π
- IgniteΒ Β by R.J. LewisΒ <— Kandace found us these bargain books! She HIGHLY recommends ’em: “Ignite and Burn by R.J. Lewis are on sale. I really loved these books. The story follows Sara and Jaxxon over many years. I loved how even as a child Jaxxon wanted to protect her ALWAYS. I loved watching Sara’s story unfold. The second book Burn took a twist I didn’t see coming. This series is definitely not flowers and rainbows. It’s gritty.“

- Finding the Right Girl (A Nice GUY to Love)Β byΒ Violet Duke <— this deal sounds cute! “Tessa has no idea what she was thinking telling Brian that she was some sort of fling expert. She’s never been flung before and she sure as heck doesn’t know where or how to begin flinging a guy like Brian. It was a temporary lapse in sanity, really–no doubt because of the can’t-help-but-fall-for-him brain fuzz that hits her whenever he’s around. Not only does the man have her being more herself than she’s ever been in her life, but he’s the only person she knows who seems to have as many demons and skeletons in the closet as she does…“
- Obsessed (The Obsessed Series)Β byΒ Deborah Bladon <— both books (they appear to be serial installments – at roughly 100 pages each). “The last thing Ivy expected to find attending a posh New York art show, was him.

Stand Of HonorΒ byΒ Cathryn Williams <— FIGHTER ALERT!!! NEW RELEASE brought to my attention yesterday with a reader question, and that cover alone makes me wanna one-click it. LOL! “Melanie Brooks is determined to prove her father wrong, she does have what it takes to be a champion in the cage. The only problem is that she needs a trainer, one that can help her get the championship belt she’s determined to win. Her brother’s friend Zane is the obvious choice, now she just has to convince him.“
- Sweet Sofie (The Moreno Brothers )Β byΒ Elizabeth Reyes <— (thanks Aimee!!) – “…the one boy she’s got her heart set on has always been within reach: her brother’s best friend Eric, even though his loyalty to her brothers runs deep. Sofia knows there is only so much he can do before giving in to her.“
- Four LettersΒ by Lisa M. Harley <— (thanks Aimee) and the reviews are a bit all over the place, but… I skimmed the negative ones VERY lightly, and now I’m extra-intigued. LOL! The ending… endings? seem to have thrown some for a loop.
Unbearable Guilt (Breathe Again)Β by Emma Grayson <— (thanks Aimee!!) and yes.. I admit, I’m judging a book by it’s cover. Tee hee. It’s… nice! π From the blurb, he’s a big bad brooding mess after the death of his fiancΓ©e. “Emotionally numb, stricken by guilt, and haunted by the events preceding Aimeeβs death, the last thing Kane wanted was to meet someone he connected with; someone who made him feel again. As Kane gets closer to those responsible for Aimeeβs death, he is thrown a curveball when he discovers a secret so devastating it rocks his world and threatens to destroy his chance at happiness.” <—- oooooh I wonder what it is!!??
- Thou Shalt NotΒ by JJ Rossum <— came highly recommended by one of our fav authors (Tarryn Fisher).
- Foreplay: The Ivy ChroniclesΒ by Sophie Jordan <— (thanks Aimee!) and from the blurb, she’s hopelessly in love with her best friend’s brother (who doesn’t really notice her). Oh I like that!! And then… there’s a sexy bad-boy bartender. I like that, too!

Take Me for GrantedΒ by K.A. Linde <— IfΒ this guy isn’t a bad-boy extraordinaire, I dunno who is! WHOA!Β Bad boy (singer!!!) meets good girl. “I live my life the way I want and as long as it pushes the demons back, then I’m solid. I’ve never needed a chick for more than a good lay. Why would I need just one when I can have a different one every night?Β Until she walks into my world.” <— expected release date April 29th 2014

I loved Play hard. Hehe
I’m really starting to connect to Mal. I’m on chapter 6 and his “i’m bored” texts are making me go “awwwwwwwww”. Pooooor sweeeeetie.
He’s such an obnoxious cuddly goof. Plus he’s an arrogant, cocky rock star, so I’m starting to have fun…
Rockers’ Babies!! So excited for this early release….love this series!
The Soul Mate (The Holy Trinity) by Madeline Sheehan is FREE on Amazon. I haven’t read it but it’s Madeline Sheehan!
Kiss the Sky is fantastic, but it is not the first book in the series. The first one is Addicted to You, Ricochet, then Addicted for Now. They are all great, but they should be read in order.
Can’t get any better than Mal, he’s so darn adorable! I think I highlighted the whole book–it was that good!!
Can I read ‘The King’ without reading the other books first??
I absolutely loved Play!!! He’s such a character that Mal!!!! What a great series!!! Can’t wait for the next one!! That’s not a spoiler just another great story to look forward to reading!!!
Joy, You probably could read The King without reading the series but I would recommend reading the first book (Dark Lover) as that is the story of Wrath and Beth. This King is the continuation of their relationship. Each additional book focuses on different characters but all make appearances. hope that helps.
Joy, do yourself a favor and read the entire series. There are soooo many of my all-time fav books in that series, and each becomes more involved. they’ll feel like family to you soon enough. A bad-ass hot family, but family nonetheless. π
I’m loving Play BIG TIME! I can’t stop giggling, but I’ve already fumed, too.
Hopeless by Colleen Hoover is free on Amazon right now
*welp* I LOVED PLAY my friends. LOVED it. 5 stars for me!!! Ahhhh so worth the initial “getting used to Mal’s crazy-funny guy side”.
Happy girl here!
Cant wait for The King!! Absolutely LOVE this Seies!! Z’s is my fav but all the BDB’s ROCK!!!! You are so right Maryse! If I had an extended paranormal family this is who theyd be…….uh wait-maybe not.. it’d be so wrong to drool over family
Right… right. Not good to drool over family. π
*giggle*
BDB books just price dropped to 1.99!!
The BDB series is on sale at Amazon for 1.99 today! (Sorry if you received this twice . . . But it’s exciting news!)
In my opinion, you cannot read this series out of order.
Maryse, so glad I stuck with Play! I loved it too! Loved how Anne dealt with the crazy shit Mal would say. Oh and the scene where he is talking to her “private intimate parts”……hysterical!!!!
Thanks for the info on the BDB sale! Haven’t read any of them and so excited to start the series!
Okay… I just one-clicked all 7 books!!! I’ll talk to y’all in a week!!! I
Read Unbreakable last year…….really really good book! Never thought it got the attention it should have.
Why is it every time I do this I end up talking myself into rereading the book?!?!
J.R ward the black dagger brotherhood series are on sale for $1.99 on amazon
I’m *really* trusting you here, Maryse. π I just bought the entire BDB series. The. Entire. Series. Even the ones not on sale. And you *know* how many books I already have. I would say I need a Grape Excess martini (so fitting!), but I’m pretty sure I have more self-control issues than what a martini can fix. π
Just wanted to share. You can get books 1-7 of Ward’s BDB series on Amazon kindle daily deals today only for $1.99 each. I’m loading up!
Amy Amy Amy… Just wait until you get to Z. OMG (my FAVORITE – and his twin Phury <--- *swoooooon*... for awhile they were neck 'n neck... Z is the "bad" twin and Phury is the "good" twin but just you wait!!!!!!!) You will LOVE! And "V" (my other favorite!!! I CRIED!!!). <---- And Butch. Oh what a story!!!! And for that matter, Rhage (ohhhh Hollywood, you are soooooo *oomph*). And Rehvenge (he's all bad-boy, maybe even bad-guy... but OMG in this one?? *whoooooo*). And for that matter, The King himself. He's my "other #1" BDB brother. He is THE SH!T!!!!!! (Maybe imagine Jason Momoa) His book is the first (and he's in all of 'em, and the next book on Tuesday is HIM again) and I LOVED his book #1 like crazy and he was my first true BDB love BUT back then? I wasn't used to such "manly" leather-bound bad-ass characters (coming off of Twilight, you see... π Tee hee, so I was a bit perplexed at first, but OMG I FELL HARD!!!!!!!! Yep... you are in for a wild ride.
Jean… PLAY ROCKED ME!!!!!
I was having a hard time with Mal’s personality at first. I like my bad boys brooding and no-nonsense and calm (especially when they are about to lay the smack-down on someone…)
And sweet and silly, too – but like a tootsie-pop… you gotta work to get to that gooey sweet center, ya know?
Mal is crazy fun obnoxious and over-the-top right from the start but it didn’t take too long until I was right there with him, and his soft, sweet, gentle, vulnerable side was there, too.
Cannot count on BOTH hands how many times I have read the BDB series! And now I can covet them electronically (my paper books have seen better days). Phury will always be my favorite brother, but he politely steps aside and lets me love the brother who is center stage in the book I am reading. Hope everybody enjoys them! Cannot wait to read The King on Tuesday!
Yeah took me a while to warm up to Mal, but I did! Now you have me so excited to read the BDB Series…..so thankful for that sale….1-clicked like a mad woman!!!
“Heβs my βother #1β³ BDB brother. He is THE SH!T!!!!!!”
LOL!!! OMG, I snorted water through my nose when I read that!! They *have* to be good if they have you using that language! Good lord, you’re getting me in a tizzy and I haven’t even started them yet. I am so on them starting today. I’m *still* laughing here! OMG, whew, I needed that today. π
Just finished Play..I love, love, love Mal! I thought the first book was great but this one was just awesome. It made me laughing out loud, especially the scene when we wasn’t talking to “her” and thats why this book is another on my fav list for 2014.
Heheheh Amy!!!!! Yah… he makes me say stuff. π
On to book 2, oh what have you girls done to me
Joy just know each one gets sexier n our fav more hot Alpha Male grrrowwwwly!!! Hell Yes Please!!
My mind is reeling! I can hardly focus on any of the books I’m reading now! Why? THE KING!!!! OMG!!!!!, I can hardly contain myself. Where is my mega-phone! (woosh, I needed to get that off my chest!). I feel an all nighter coming on…
Okay… I’m halfway thru the 3rd book, and I have a ??, after I read the first 6 books do I need to read the rest of the books in the reading order list before The King?? I’m on a mission!!!
It would be best, Joy, ’cause the further the series goes, the more entwined the characters become, and multiple story lines progress over numerous books, including “Wrath’s” story. It’s been building and building and now finally, here we are….
Wow Joy! You are on the 3rd book already? How the hell did you do that? I am just going to start Dark Lover tonight! Soooo…..are you loving them? Was Maryse and everyone else right about this series??
Yes, Jean. Maryse was. π <--- Tee heeeeeeee!!!! Oh I'm sorry... that's right. I'm not Joy. *giggle*
Right there with you Teri. I’m patiently (not-so-patiently) waiting on him… *eeeeeep* I’m so excited!!!!
Hahaha!! Of course you were right! You are always right!
Jean…I’m a reading machine! HA! And! yes! they are awesome!!! It took me until about a third of the way in of the first book for it to click, but then it, CLICKED!!! Hurry and catch up with me!!!
4-1-14: I am a happy girl π The King has arrived! and I must now leave my world for HIS! (heehee) I’m so excited!!
