Blossom you asked about recommendations. I did read TRUE by Erin McCarthy and thoroughly enjoyed it. I gave it a 4. 
I really appreciate everybody posting new finds [Loosheesh and Blossom, I bought Elite by Rachel Van Dyken last night just because you were both so excited about it, didn't even preview it, just pressed 'buy now'. 
And now I'm reading 'The Bet', and enjoying it. So please, when you find out about new releases that sound great and you're excited about, continue to post them here too!  |
You know me I will always rave about a good book!
That's great you enjoyed True. She has gotten alot of people who are snubbing her because she is a romance writer trying to break into NA Territory. I wouldn't thought we find this kind snobbery but there seems to be some unwritten rule that established mainstream authors can't go there. I do realize these well known authors are more restricted in writing a story than a indie author picked up by the big 6. They don't have the freedom to write outside of the traditional guidelines unless they self publish. I think they gave away the story in hopes of some good reviews left in return.
One of the main problems I read in the reviews was this is the same story line nothing new. It got me thinking that NA reader are so use to new inventive plots and characters they don't realize that in romancelandia that cookie cutter plots are the norm. You're not going to get much new original content when you got a big publisher dictating how the story goes.
I plan to read Elite but right now I am doing something new. I out of the blue requested ARC of paranormal werewolf book by a digital publisher. The author has been published before by Avon Impulse and I enjoyed her Vampire stories So I am reading that right now.
It's one of the those free copy in exchange of a honest review offers. I've never done this before so I thought I give it a shot.
