Suzanne Brockmann – Troubleshooter Series Reading Order

By 2 Comments

MILITARY HEROES/NAVY SEALS ALERT!!! This is an older series (but MUCH loved) and I can’t believe I haven’t posted the series reading order yet!! HOLY MOLY I’ve been missing out! 😀

Jan: Lately I’ve also been reading a romance/suspense series by Suzanne Brockmann, Troubleshooters. The books are a few years old, but those navy SEALS are hot, hot, hot. I’m slowly working my way through the series.

JulieO: I read all of Suzanne Brockmann’s TROUBLESHOOTER series. That was before I discovered Maryse. I loved her books and all her seals are “hunks of burning love”. My favorite was Sam. I couldn’t wait until another one was published. And then she just kind of quit writing that genre. Haven’t checked on her lately. It is best if you read them in order. Enjoy! I wish that I could rediscover them again! read more

Book Review – Final Serenade by N.N. Britt

By Leave a Comment

Final Serenade (The Encore Book 1) <— OMG YOU GUYS WERE RIGHT!!!!! And now I’m in the throes of an epic book hangover. This one put me in an incredible love fog, and I haven’t felt like this in ages.

What is “like this” you ask? You know that feeling of anxious anticipation, like something awesome is about to happen, and all the butterflies, and a bit of dread (maybe even a lot of it, LOL!!), but a definite feeling of fondness for newfound friends? ALL of that for me. And oh how I miss them terribly right now. read more

Reader Recommendations – Our favorite books where they fall in love via text, chat, emails or letters…

By 20 Comments

This is Jody’s request and I wholeheartedly agree that this trope is SO MUCH FUN!!! Let’s make a list!

Yep! I think this is a great idea for a list, since so many real-life couples that have fallen in love (and even married) started off in chat rooms. I remember back in the old AOL days… 😉

She asks:

Jody: How about books where they fall via text, email or letters like Dear Aaron or Let’s Get Textual

Cicely: YAAAS DEAR AARON WAS AWESOME TOO!

D.G. Dear Aaron was a five star for me also! Heck, I love all her books. It is definitely a slow burn… read more
