PREORDERS (going live at midnight!!Β Β )
Pull Me Close: The Panic SeriesΒ byΒ Sidney HalstonΒ – October 25th 2016 <— THIS ONE’S GETTING RAVE REVIEWS!!!
Rachel:Β Rachel: βMaryse I was recommended PULL ME CLOSE by Sidney halston via Goodreads. Theyβve been harping on it so much I ended up getting a copy from Netgalley. Now I see what all the fuss is about! MARYSE, it is soooo damn good. Maybe the author will give you an arc or something. Listen to thisβ¦she had a tragic event something you are NOT expecting and has been a recluse for years because of it. She ends up meeting a guy who owns a nightclub. But she canβt go see him because she canβt leave her house beacaue sheβs agoraphobic! Gahhh. So good.β
Jean: Oh, oh, ohβ¦β¦Pull Me Close! Already read an ARC and absolutely LOVED IT!!!! Highly recommend!
Mia: First time poster, long time follower. hahah. But I felt compelled to write. Earlier this week you posted a pre-order that Iβve had sitting on my Kindle for weeks from Netgalley and finally had the courage to read it. Itβs called Pull Me Close. I donβt like books with damaged hβs because they make me cry and I hate to cry. Give me a Rom Com anytime of the week, please. Anyway. Christ on a cracker! It was the best book Iβve read this year. I swear, I was reading about myself most of the time. The h has social anxiety and hasnβt left her house but the events are based on likeβ¦current things. Itβs one of those books you shouldnβt know too much about before going into it. So donβt say anything if you read it! Anyway, it was gooood. now I have a book hangover and am going to grab my usual Rom Com (A little Penny Reid for me). *sniffle sniffle*
Amy:Β Hi Mia!!! *big welcome hug* Donβt be a stranger around here.Β
Β And thanks for the heads up on Pull Me Closeβ¦whenever I hear we shouldnβt know too much before going into a book, itβs like catnip for me.

Interborough (Five Boroughs Book 4) by Santino Hassell is out! For those of us who follow this series, a big ol’ squeeeeeeeeeeee.
YAY!!! Okay I’m POSTING IT!!! π Thank you Fabi! I was just thinking about him today… craziness. It’s like something was pulling me to his book, but I didn’t see it in my searching.
Yes, for some reason it appeared late on Amazon.
Yes! I have been waiting for Interborough. One click and drop everything. I will be reading today.
Nancy Gideon new book is live Prince of Honor. Spinoff of her Moonlight series
“her husband has some pretty serious demands” <—— OMG! I totally thought you were talking about CD Reiss' husband at first. LOL!!!!
Marriage Games (because CDR's books are great), Believe (how *swoony-sigh* does that sound?), Lessons in Gravity (sounds SO fun), Hades (how unique!)…click, click, clickety CLICK!
Thank you, Maryse! π
Finished Punk 57 and really liked it! I couldn’t picture them as HS seniors though.
Marriage Games sounds so naughty and intriguing! One clicking
I haven’t read the Five Boroughs series, but it looks so good! One clicking the first one π
I agree, Anne…it was REALLY good, but holy moly that was graphic for high school kids!!
I guess it’s comparable to Fallen Crest in terms of maturity and sexy times. π
Christin Harber Bishop’s Queen is live
Just finished Stolen by Lucy Christopher. I know it was one of your dark read Maryse. I think I have Stockholm Syndrome. Crazy to have sympathy for a kidnapper! I still don’t know how I feel.
Marriage Games, sounds so good, but nope, gonna wait until #2 is released. One-click- A Place in the Sun, Believe (LOVED the first two books), Lessons in Gravity, and then one- clicking Pull Me Close tomorrow.
Holy Shit. Preppy, Keepsake and Billionaire all just uploaded on my kindle. Yipppeeee! Squeeeeee!!!
I’ve heard so many things about PULL ME CLOSE. I started it last night, out of curiosity since it’s about recluse (which I love) and people are being sketchy on the reason why she’s a recluse. So, when it loaded on my Kindle I started it. I CAN.NOT.PUT.IT DOWN! So beautiful
Gabrielle I wanna read it badly!!! π
Pull Me Close is live. Squeeee!! I’ve been waiting for this one
Amore part II by Bella Jewel is live as well π
I’m at 21% on Marriage Games and, unfortunately, having trouble not putting it down. It’s good–just moving a little slowly for my tastes and I’m missing some character depth, but I’m hoping that will come and I’ll just realize it was a slow build. I’ll keep y’all posted!
Nay I had that one on my TBR but everything I see is that it’s more erotica than erotic romance. Curious what you think when you’re done.
I think that’s what’s getting me. It’s going to be bdsm erotica (once it gets going), but they’re starting out as non-bdsm married couple, which means erotic romance to me, so I’m having trouble crossing over in that direction.
I can easily go from bdsm erotica to erotic romance (with our without elements of bdsm) in a book, and actually, I love books like that, but I don’t know about the other way around. Good point, R!!
Oh, and I’m kind of guessing about my previous post from what I read in the blurb. It could end up being much different from what I’m thinking–it’s just the idea I got from what it said.
I read Lessons in Gravity and really enjoyed it. I used to teach rock climbing so that whole aspect appealed to me immediately π It definitely has a unique feel since the setting and premise is so different from your “typical” romance novel. I loved the hero, Josh. He was very well-written. Definitely going to try A Place in the Sun. I want to try Pull Me Close but it definitely seems to be a heavier read so I’ll have to prepare my brain for one of “THOSE” books.
