Beautiful Disaster, Devoured or Thoughtless? I have literally been reading Thoughtless all afternoon [housework? what? LOL], it's not at all what I thought it would be, but I'm just hooked so deeply into this book. Have a feeling I'll be reading into the wee hours tonight too. Gah, then I'll want to start the second book tomorrow...

I grabbed "Beautiful Bastard" too. It must have a wide appeal. I also bought a slew of others. Thank you all for posting the sale...I think. |

I just went thru my read pile, can't find anything else regarding rock stars that you might like. If you were tempted to try Back Stage Pass by Olivia Cunning, and/or Rock the Heart by Michelle Valentine, I would pass. JMO but I did not enjoy either of them at all. BSP was basically porn, RcH was a total and poor imitation of A Mighty Storm. Now, off to search for my freebies/deals of the day and get back to Thoughtless series. |

Re: Koland and Beautiful Disaster, yes, I agree, it seems to be one of those series that's a love/hate thing. I had it as a 1 star, but I see Blossom loved it. This is why I am so hesitant to recommend books, some we all seem to like, others not. I know for myself I'm very careful with my spending and I hate to have people waste their money on something I've recommended and they hate it. But that's the way it goes sometimes! |

We all can't love the same books and I think we know it's a risk anytime we buy a book. Example I am reading The Windflower by Laura London. Everyone says this is the greatest romance in their reviews. I've been told many times you got to read this! A few month ago someone here offered to loan it to me. I declined because it's a very expensive book. Well I found a very ratty copy on eBay for $8 and I am so glad I didn't pay more than that. I got two more chapters to go and well I think it's just an okay story nothing special. I don't find the romance believable between the h/h. Stockholm Syndrome isn't even believable at this point. He was just too in the background for them to develop anything between them. The only reason I keep reading is because of Cat. He breaks my heart and to find his story was never written! Cat is the most unusual male character I've come across in a romance story. I fell in love with him. Devon can jump in the ocean. Merry is too good for him. I found the love scenes very awkwardly written. Only because of Cat will it get 3 stars from me. |

On that note, I just got a price drop notice that If You Stay has just gone down to $0.99 (from $3.99). It's new adult and since I'm on an NA mini-binge, I'll pick it up. At that price, it won't hurt too much if it's awful, right? |

I follow DA but Jane and I have different tastes most of the time. There are a few reviewers on there though that has similar taste. I also enjoy Sarah's Blog Smart B!tches Trashy Books, For NA nothing beats Maryse's Book Blog and The Boyfriend Bookmark. I agree. I'm worried about how the reviews are going to change on Goodreads. Most Amazon reviews are Fake. Some are on GR too but you can easily weed those out. |

I know, right?! That played a major part in the buying decision
Thanks for the blog recs! For NA, I recently starting following Aestas Book Blog. Over at DA, Jane's tastes are most similar to mine (not everything though, as I don't read M/M or menage). Funny enough, The Mighty Storm was just one out of two books that I can remember Jane reviewing favorably that I picked up and didn't like. |
