CAROLYN’S ROUNDUP
This week I managed to read three books. The first was Tangled by Emma Chase, which has quite mixed reviews on Goodreads, some hating it, some loving it. Although it’s not a 5 star read for me it does hit the 4 star mark. I couldn’t put it down. It was funny and sexy. However, it’s from the POV of the main character who’s a guy – not my usual fare as I always seem to go for the female protag. Also, he’s not very likeable, but more about that in my review, which will be up soon.
The next book was The Zombie Whisperer by Jesse Petersen, the 4th book in the Living with the Dead series. It was a fun read, but short at only 174 pages. My review of this one will be up this coming week.
I then read a contemporary m/m romance called Waiting for Ty by Samantha Ann King. This was a cute read, with two interesting characters. What caught my attention with this one was the premise: Ty and Landon are best friends, both have been with women but both are attracted to each other since they became best friends four years previously. I loved the set up but unfortunately it just wasn’t executed well. Full review to come closer to release date (July).
I’m still reading Mystery Man by Kristen Ashley. I’m only a couple of chapters in but it’s good so far. I’m also reading Red Heat by new-to-me author, Nina Bruhns. It’s the first in a sexy romantic suspense series call Men in Uniform – and just look at that cover, that’s the only reason I bought it *hangs head in shame – nah, not really, I’m a proud cover hussey*. All the covers in this series are seriously hot. My fave is this one. And on that note, I’m off to enjoy the rest of my Sunday. Have a great week, and happy reading! xoxo
LAURA’S ROUNDUP
Over the last couple of weeks I have discovered Kristen Ashley! And what a find, I think I might have a new favourite author. Her books are completely page-turningly addictive. I burned through the first two books Own the Wind and Motorcycle Man in quick succession and I’m now on book three Fire Inside. They are all delicious biker romances, a new romance genre for me, I think my love of Sons of Anarchy might have coloured me, but I am loving these hot, biker heroes! I would highly recommend her books and I will definitely be devouring more.
On the audiobook front, I have finally finished The Daylight War, goodness me, what a book it was pretty phenomenal and my top rated book of the year so far! Trust me, it’s awesome. I am now listening to the final book in Nora Roberts’ Bride Quartet Happy Ever After, which is a warm, contemporary romance.
I have also bought a couple of books the aforementioned Kristen Ashley books, but also Shadow Bound by Rachel Vincent. I currently have a Kindle voucher burning in my pocket, so I will definitely buying more, watch this space!
BOBBY’S ROUNDUP
This week has been a bad week for reading again: I only managed to finish one book, but thankfully that was The Red Plague Affair by Lilith Saintcrow, so I managed to stick to last weeks goal. Although I enjoyed it, I’m still formulating my thoughts about it, but I will be writing up my review as soon as that happens so be sure to look out for my review! I also started Iced by Karen Marie Moning which is a little bit addictive from what I have read so far. I’m nearly done with The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa, too.
Next week promises to be a stressful one, so I’m unsure as to how much reading I will get in, but hopefully I will at least be able to finish book. It might be a case of whatever appeals to me at the time.
I also bought more books to add to the TBR pile: my pre-order of Defiance by Stephanie Tyler came in – I’ve already read a chunk of it and it is enjoyable, if a litt
