Jamie Shaw – Mayhem Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

Rock star romance series and it looks like SO much fun!!! Book one… Her “nerdy” look is much different from her hot look when he first met her… he ends up in her class, and he doesn’t RECOGNIZE her!!

Jackie loved it!

“Finished Mayhem. Have to say it was one of my favorites I’ve read in awhile. While there wasn’t a ton of angst…definitely some sexual tension, the bad boy rock star and lots of humor interwoven, made it a book I was sad to finish. Looks like more are coming about fellow band members. Would definitely recommend this one.” read more

Book Review – The Wild Side by R.K. Lilley

By 26 Comments

The Wild Side
HIGHLY recommended by many in our reading crew, including our reading-bud, Michelle:

Michelle: Well, you know what I’m going to say…. WILD SIDE baby…. come on!!!

… and when she found out I chose an older book off of my main TBR list a few days ago, and not this one, she freaked!

Michelle: You picked smut and an age difference and didn’t go for Wild Side? I’m shocked Maryse… so I know you are in a big time smut mood…. you should have picked Dair to scratch that itch…. ha! read more

Reader Question – The book where she’s a designer student and she snubs the hero at a party thinking he is poor…

By 8 Comments

Ohhh fun! Preconceived notions might teach this female student a lesson in life… and love! How little does she know when she rebuffs “poor & nerdy” boy. 😉 I’m pretty sure I haven’t read this series, so I’m unable to answer, however maybe someone here knows?

Nanette asks:

I’ve searched high and low and just can’t seem to find this book. I’m after the 3rd book which is part of a series. I remember more of the 2nd book. She’s a designer student and she snubs the hero at a party thinking he is poor and also too much of a nerd when he asks her out. Her best friend’s boyfriend hooks her up with one of his mates, but she ends up not being interested. read more

Penny Reid – Knitting in the City Series Reading Order

By 25 Comments

<— Whoa! This one is very popular amongst our rom-com (romance comedy) reading buddies, and there are two more books that have been released in the series. In fact, book #3 was JUST released!

The series is called “Knitting in the City” and yep… I was all… knitting? Really? Er… okay. But going by these recommendations below, I really don’t think “knitting” factors into it all that much. And if it does, it sounds hilarious! 😛

Anne: not sure if you’ve read this one or heard about it but I just HAD to let you know how amazing it is.  It is sweet, funny, SO clever, and sexy and I’m only at 44% but just wanted to rave about it to someone!  The blurb doesn’t do it justice, so it is turning out to be the best book surprise of the summer for me.  Loving it! Janie is so sweet, bordering on a genius with amazing smarts but is so beautifully naive when it comes men.  She has zero control over what comes out of her mouth when she is flustered and, in the presence of Quinn, who she has nic-named Sir Mchotpants (who she thinks is a security guard but actually owns the comapny), this happens frequenty with hilarious results. I can’t wait to see where this one goes, PLEASE check it out, I’m sure it is something you will enjoy! read more

Book Review – Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park

By 11 Comments

Flat-Out Love
 Flat-out LOVED IT!! This weekend, I went looking for another Travis or Brian devastating whirlwind of a bad boy book, but I found this instead. This is not my typical read. No paranormals, no bad boys, no rock stars but plenty of love. And the reviews had me intrigued.

Remember the original cover?

Many reviews, almost all 5-stars, and the last time I “accidentally” happened upon a book that way, I found Travis, who rocked my world. So I was all for it. It’s kind of like finding the “independent movie” section and discovering a whole bunch of obscure movie treasures. I’ve uncovered a whole new world of relatively new, independent stuff, and I feel refreshed! read more
