I started listening to . And I'm re-reading .

I need to get back to . Still haven't finished that from last year. Wow. That feels weird to say.

It really does. Love that picture.

I've just finished which I loved. I'm now reading and listening to

I just started reading Shades of Gray by Maya Banks. Really like it so far.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ELISHIA!!!! First I must WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! I have been a little bit busy and haven't stayed in touch very well but I hope this finds you doing GREAT.

I'm excited to see you because I have to tell you that I read last night and LOVED LOVED LOVED it ☺☺☺☺☺

Happy new year Robin and YAY isn't it good. She has new one out that's not part of this series that I need to fit in this month.

I am going to try to read hopefully over the weekend. Provided that I get these other started books finished. What's the name of the new one because I'm sure I will want to read it too LOLOLOLOLOL

I'm reading All About Love, but keep stopping and starting it. Hopefully will finish it off tonight and then will start The Darkest Hour

If bad sex in was a rare in romance books , this book is one of a kind
I've listened to 30% or so and the heroine is still another man's mistress and she enjoys their relationship and she sits on his lap in front of the hero and even in one scene the hero saw them making out! I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Very rare indeed! I'm not a huge one for love triangles.

It's not a love triangle, she just enjoys the sex and she is a courtesan. Really weird

I'm confused. So he didn't know she was a courtesan beforehand? Or he knew but expected her to be "pure"? Or you object to the heroine enjoying sex for the sake of sex, not just for love? Or you don't object, but aren't used to it in historicals? Lol, sorry, my head is playing catch-up today.

It's that she's sitting on someone other than the hero's lap and enjoying sex without the hero, isn't it? I have a HUGE problem with that too. Grrrr, and I want to read this book and like it.

Oh, ok. I don't really have a problem with that personally, lol, it's actually made me curious to read the book now :-) Because wouldn't it be worse if she were a courtesan and didn't enjoy sex? lol, now that would be a tragedy! I'm interested to read a historical book where the usual sexual trope of man=sexually experienced with anything in skirts + woman= innocent as the driven snow but the hero "awakens" her sexuality, is set on its ear.
But I'm in the middle of one of those now, so I may be a little cynical on this at the moment. :-)

I don't object just that I'm not used to it, and the H & H are not together, they just meet in a gambling club, she sits on his protector lap , while the men play. Usually even if the heroine is a courtesan or the hero is a ladies man (?!) they don't sleep with anyone else after they meet each other. But He saw her making out with this other guy and was turned on. Unusual

I'm reading Fallon by Louis L'Amour

Hey! I haven't seen you around during the holidays. How was yours?

FOFLMAO! Oh, Lord! CaroB, your Post #18 had my head spinning.

Love the conversation.

Eek! Not for me...putting both of those on my don't read list LOL!

I haven't read a book since I rang in the New Year with Christian Grey. How do you move on from that drama?

Quickly and without looking back ;)

LOL Susan! I'm reading Harry Potter fanfiction as a palate cleanser....needed something super wholesome after that LOL!

Great, thanks! How 'bout you? :)

Our holidays were great :) I even got told "mom, you did good" LOL

After the discussion we had over I think I have to tell you that I finished and I do recommend it.
It's the most unconventional HR I've ever read but totally worth reading. At moments it was really weird but I really enjoyed reading it

So glad to hear it Shosho! I'm looking forward to getting to that one :-)

Good! Thanks for letting me know, Shosho.

I recently picked up #1 of that series. Haven't read it yet but it's there. :)

Finally getting to one that has been on near the top of my TBR Tower for awhile: ...only I have this cover: .

That's been forever on my tbr!

I'm reading . It's pretty good so far.

You horrible people :-p I was going to look and see what that was about as well, but i'm not going to bother if its a creepy animal.

I've just finished and which I loved. Listening to till I fall asleep then starting tomorrow.

UMMMMM I am with you Elishia LOL don't think I want a possum for a shapeshifter Possum is roadkill in the South where I'm from and it might show up on the dinner table in some hillbilly homes.

How do you make possums sexy?

Jenny wrote: "Funny you should mention roadkill, Robin, as that is how one of the lead characters parents died."

Really?! I just might read it for the lols!

Dawn (Kat N Hat) wrote: "How do you make possums sexy?"

I'm wondering the same thing. But if this author can do it, I'll read everything she wrote cause she'll have to be amazing!

Jenny, the ratings and the blurb have me intrigued.

Dawn (Kat N Hat) wrote: "How do you make possums sexy?"

IDK but sounds pretty gross to me...Possums are nasty gross animals anyways. I don't think they could be sexy when they aren't even cute to begin with.

Jenny wrote: "Funny you should mention roadkill, Robin, as that is how one of the lead characters parents died."

That is sad but I have no sympathy for possums.

They are just creepy to me. LOL

@ CaroB I will never look at Puss in Boots the same....I will forever be scarred and think about possums LMAO

Darn, Robin, and here I was trying to bring you over to the darkside with the thoughts of the Antonio Bsnderas accent, lol!
