Latest Bargain e-Books – September 26th 2014

MARYSE!!!! You make me PROUD!! *cackling*

Hey, hey…you know why those two words are so perfect together??? Because a blow leads to a POP!!! LOL!!!

Amy you have to read Bold Tricks! I am so loving this series. The story is sooo good and it just keeps getting better, and has me on edge!!! Karina Halle rocks!!! *smiling and sipping candy cougar martini*

Happy Birthday Lisa!!

Oh sh!t, that was pretty bad…

😐

*snort* I still wanna though!!!

😯

BAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

Proud, I tell ya!!!!!!

Yes, Amy !! Drunk reading LOL!!

Cheryl I’m green with envy of you reading Surviving Raine and the Fever series for the first time. 🙂

I just finished Unrequited. I actually surprised myself by finishing it. But it’s so short that it reads more like a magazine article than a book.

I mentioned before that it is light and fluffy, even airy. I think the best way to describe it is as a Disney like fairytale. G rated and wholly appropriate for young audiences. Excellent cookie cutter form, but missing the dough filling. The PNR aspect of it is like a random sprinkle fell on the empty cookie shape.

I won’t bother rating a book I was unable to finish. But since I got to the last page of this one, I am going to give it 1 star because of the time I wasted on it that I could have spent reading anything else. (The back of my cereal box is sounding exciting right now)

I can’t help but think that there is something wrong with a society that allows publishings of this caliber and calls them books. This is even worse than running across a book with so many editing and grammatical mistakes that is impossible to read. This one is actually a precisely written piece of fluff.

My last post should of said 1981 rock star book. The book takes place in the eighties which should be fun. Just started it. Crossing my fingers it’s fun.

Monster in his Eyes was really good. I’d recommend it, ( probably four star good).

I just finished Degradation and Separation. Both were intense with characters I felt I should hate, but instead adored. They are sincerely messed up. Superficially, he’s cold and an a$$ beyond any and she’s slutty and love resistant. Then, you get to the people they are, and just love them. The steamy is violent, though. Big warning there! It works for them, though. It’s a huge part of their messed-up-ness and just works.

I finally finished Fabi’s recommended “Bad Things” on Saturday morning. Life has just gotten in the way this week. It was fantastic. If you are in the mood for dark and forbidden and gritty it is THE choice. Reminded me of Original Sinners (so much so I recommended that series to Fabi). I loved that it had sex scenes that were polar opposites: one was shocking and crude, the other the most tender writing I think I’ve ever read. The fact that it was m/m didn’t factor in at all. Very complicated characters. Very well written. Not for the faint of heart. 5 stars for me too!!!

I have no idea what I should read now. I should go visit my TBR list, but I am almost too wiped out from that book to do that. I might re-read The Saint because all that Original Sinners talk with Fabi made me miss Soren and Nora (aka Ellie, aka Eleonor) and Kingsley….

What’s everyone else reading?

Cheryl, you’ll be happy to know that I’m halfway through Bold Tricks. Still torn between Javier and Camden though. I can’t remember the last time, if ever, that I didn’t know which guy I wanted the h to have!

Mertxe, I didn’t realize that one was coming out already! I left off with that series at the second book, but they are a great couple. Such broken people who together are whole. *sigh*

Okay, last comment before I have to take off and run errands…

I have to say something about Ellie and Javier’s first time (her *actual* first time). Yeah, every girl dreams of having her hymen JACKHAMMERED like that her first time. And in the way he positioned her. *eyeroll* Nice, man…real nice. 😛

Amy, the second book of degradation, separation, ends on a CH, so you might want to buy and wait. Seriously dirty, and I can’t wait for the non-filtereed review of those scenes.

I finished Not Your Damn Submissive. Totally not what I expected. Very sweet, though. I almost want the before to really get the oomph of the after, but it’s still sweet. 🙂

Amy – I abandoned that series a while ago…. bought it when it first came out – loved Javier, so I don’t know why I didn’t finish it. Now I have to go back and rediscover it (just because of your hymen jackhammer positioning comment – thanks a lot). Did you ever read her Donners of the Dead? That wacky stand alone about the old west meets zombies? And a “half breed” girl and the tall dark and dangerous cowboy? Strangely good in a really weird way. Read it this summer while camping!

Okay, so the errands will have to wait a bit…’cause I’m comfy all wrapped up in my blankie and feeling lazy.

LOL Fabi!!! *squeezy hug* I only use a filter when I absolutely have to. 😉

Tessa, it’s in On Every Street…but even though it is a prequel, you should read that *after* Sins and Needles. Seriously, that scene made my near-circumcision look like a paper cut!

MichelleS “dystopian meets urban fantasy” ? Glad it’s you making me want to squirrel away from OS. I mean, really, why not just dangle a carrot in front of my nose and call me good horsey.

THEN Amy pops in with the magic “free”

No way any of y’all are going to blame me for squirreling on this one. Not.my.fault.

Gotta go take care of my one-click addiction. 🙂

That series is insane! I did read it, and there were so many good parts. I haven’t read the third ( thought I had) so something new for my TBR. I thought the books had been mentioned before, but since not, a must read. For those who haven’t read Fever, read it first! 😛

*snicker* Don’t worry, Fabi…I got your back! We’ll just toss some blow pop martinis or candy cougar martinis at anyone who gives you a hard time. 😉

The first book is a little repetitive in that it all takes place in the one camp with Trinity fighting the pull to Gerik while simultaneously wanting him (if that makes any sense), but stick with it because the end…the END is a WTF ending!! And a lot happens in the second book so it’s not repetitive like the first.

Oh, and I think Tessa is trying to persuade people to the Fever series from the Holy Trinity series. It’s on, Tessa!! 😛

Amy – yes, read the Novella – that series hooked me bad – so I read everything back-to-back. I was running around saying “fata” this and “fata” that and went a little nutso after that series. It’s so weird I don’t even know how to explain it. Anyway – thought of you and your “eclectic” tastes, that’s why I mentioned it.

Fever has NOTHING to do with any of these series!!! I think it will just always come up when someone says they haven’t read it because there are few series that are that well written. Love K.M. Moning. It’s like Haley’s comet – it just comes back around over and over. 🙂

Don’t worry Michelle, I WILL read OS. There’s absolutely no doubt that I’ll read it. I already even started it with the sample. I was thinking it wouldn’t be a bad idea for me to give it a little time between Bad Things and The Siren. It’s been a week and a few books I’m just now starting to get over my book fog. I want to give The Siren the credit it deserves so I need my palette fresh for that read instead of coming off another similar type of mind blowing read.

Anyone other wine drinkers here? I’m sure you will appreciate the metaphor. It makes a huge difference. 🙂

MichelleS, as far as the sub reference, bite your tongue woman. I can barely even read books with willing subs as characters. It turns my stomach and makes me mad at the same time. Nope, just not my thing. I can barely handle it in books, so if I ever took a walk on that particular wild side it would have to be in the D shoes not the S. 😉

Tessa, dont even tempt me to read Fever again. It crossed my mind a few times since we all started talking about. But I can’t possibly re-read something when I have so many new ones in my tbr. So please, no temptation thrown my way, else Michelle will be thinking me a sub again. :-0

Michelle S can’t wait to hear what you think of Deacon. Kind of want to hear other’s impressions.

Heh, I thought that right after I wrote it. My library books are more fantasy and pretty sure that romance is not a priority in them. And felt like a darker angsty type but with potential romance, lol.
You know I’ve been thinking of grabbing one of those old Garwood romances of the library shelf. Oh ow I loved those books.

Michelle S I have thought the same of my ereader.

Fabi I’m still embarrassed by the covers, lol. I do like the Monster in his Eyes cover though. I think he is handsome.

Amy, that’s funny. I would of been beet red.

Ok, so I’m only 7% in but now I know why Michelle was laughing. I think I remember reading the blurb but can’t remember what it said. I guess thought it would be like Sempre. From the prologue and the age difference, whoa, I’m guessing not.

So I made it to 31% with Deacon. Talk about a SLOW build up. Oy Veh! Who said it was classic KA? Classic KA was Circe running for her life in a wife hunt on page ONE of the novel. Classic KA was Tyra sleeping with Tack, her boss, on page one before she knew it was him. Classic KA is the hot bunch at Fortnums and everybody and their brother getting kidnapped! It’s not that it’s bad. She can’t write a bad book….. but something better be happening soon!!! Thirty one percent folks…. do you know what plot twists have usually happened by 31%? Going to try and finish tomorrow. Someone please tell me something is happening soon? This reminds me of Nora Roberts The Witness. Everybody loved that book and I was, like…. um…. I don’t get it. Bev…… I totally get where you’re coming from in this one.

Monster in his Eyes and I’m really liking it so far, though barely started.
That does sound good. Sheehan is one of those that I do in small doses, lol. To me, most of her characters are unlikable. Even the heroine from the first book who I think we were suppose to like. But did read it straight through.

MichelleS I’m still in shock that you didn’t want to immediately go find out more about Dario and Aiden. I just had to go find out how that love story happened. Shoot, I missed work over it. The shy rock star and the almost too beautiful to look at partner in a love so sweet and tender and solid. I could not resist finding out how that happened in Dangerously Happy. haaaa now I’m feeling like a voyeur. My tags keep growing. First sub (not lol) now voyeur (not ever irl yuk). But hey, all is good in love and books right?

But yeah, I’m loving The Soulmate. Though now you mention it’s a love triangle, I’m a little more reserved for it. I don’t care for those so much. I still resent Elora’s choice in My Familiar Stranger. I loved the book, just didn’t agree with her choice.

Fabi – I was being very loyal to a much love author and wanted to knock out her latest in a couple of evenings since it was sent to my Kindle (pre-order). Maybe I should have read A & D’s story…. that might be why this is a let down so far…. I was still on that Bad Things high.

“I was still on that Bad Things high.”
Michelle, that is exactly why I want a few books between that one and Original Sinners. After reading the sample, I already know it’s going to be an awesome book. I want to be able to give it 100% of my attention without feelings from Bad Things intruding.

Weeeelll, you gave away the spoiler first. Hmmm sooo
Ok, remember, I’ve only read the very first book in the series, so limiting the story line of My Familiar Stranger to its beginning and end only. She passed up love, kindness and devotion not to mention protection, for someone else who made her panties wet. The true mate thing did alleviate it somewhat. But it still broke my heart when “he” got on the plane alone. I need to read his story so I can get over this…

The first triangle I’ve ever read was Twilight. I had a big problem with that scenario too. Even after it resolved, not good enough for me.

It’s obviously just me with these things because millions of people are ok with the storyline.

I can already feel the triangle forming in The Soulmate. Just have to wait and see how I feel about the resolution I guess.

I feel kind of bad not reading some of the current ones y’all are reading, but some of those are series that I haven’t started yet.

I’m at 50% with The Soulmate and LOVING it. Such a great book. My only complaint at this point is that it’s a short book so the world building and development of character isn’t there. It’s almost like I was thrown in to this world expected to know the circumstances and how they’ve affected the current characters. Again, just my predilection for epic type books I guess. But, man, this is one great story.

Oh I’m checking out comments from this weekend that I missed, and I totally have to read that holy trinity series you all were discussing. I had no idea MS wrote something like this – good rec ladies 🙂

Just finished The Soulmate. I LOVED it. Dang. I wish there was something bigger than capitals I could put on that word. I could hardly put this book down. It was non-stop.

I hated the ending. Now I remember why I don’t like series books. I don’t mind them and even like them when they’re like bdb and focus mostly on one character per book. But this, this I don’t like. I want my books to have a definitive start and ending. Saying that, I again repeat, incredible book, incredible story. Hands down awesome.

So Amy, how did you like Bold Tricks?? Are you still for Javier…. or maybe you better not tell me……. I’m at 80%of Shooting Scars…. Ugh!

I have Soulmate! I downloaded it a while ago and now you guys are making me want to read it!

And Fabi, wanted to thank you for reading Unrequited and taking one for the team… Don’t think I’ll be getting that one now!
