2016 January Challenge: 1st - 31st January 2016
10/10 Completed

✓ 01. 'J' is for January: Jennifer McQuiston Diary of an Accidental Wallflower Seduction Diaries #1 ★★★✰✰

Victorian - a good read but not my preferred era of HR

✓ 02. Member of the Month ~Tiff's 2013 Shelf: The Raven Prince Elizabeth Hoyt Princes trilogy #1 ★★★★✰

Georgian Romance - light hearted romp

✓ 03. Featured Author Challenge ~Shelly Laurenston: The Mane Event Pride #1 Paranormal Erotica ★★✰✰✰

Two stories dealing with one HEA couple and then continues the overall plot with a second HEA couple. I only read part one - a lot of understated humour but I was really put off by the infighting within both sets of sisters belonging to the hero and the heroine.

✓ 04. Festival of Sleep Day: The Leopard Prince Elizabeth Hoyt Princes trilogy #2 ★★★✰✰

Georgian Romance a great mystery but sex in the vestry with their families outside plus lady and a commoner - a generous three stars

✓ 05. Male Watcher's Day: Assassin's Promise Elaine Levine Red Team #5 4.5* ★★★★✰

Romantic Suspense - a really good continuation of the ongoing struggle between the good guys and the bad.

✓ 06. Feast of the Fabulous Wild Men Day Unbuttoning the CEO Mia Sosa

Contemporary Romance - too little plot - a fairly basic he didn't tell her about his past and she found out scenario ★★✰✰✰

✓ 07. Make Your Dream Come True Day: One Moonlit Night Gaelen Foley Moonlight Square .5 4.5* ★★★★✰

Regency Romance - sweet novella - friends to lovers

✓ 08. National Hugging Day: It Takes a Scandal Caroline Linden Scandalous #2 ★★★★✰

Regency Romance with a gorgeous tortured hero and a strong heroine

✓ 09. Spouse's Day: The Darkest Hour Maya Banks KGI #1

Romantic Suspense. The wife has amnesia. The hero was too woe is me what if she remembers and realises she hates me - the mystery was ok but I guess the rest of the book fell over because the hero was unlikeable. 2.5 ★★✰✰✰

✓ 10. Reader's Choice: The Warlord Wants Forever Kresley Cole Immortal After Dark #1

A good prelude to a series but I wanted more details than was possible in a novella. ★★★✰✰
