I bought five books and one Audible this week. So not too bad right?

I read:

Last Chance Christmas by Hope Ramsay (4 stars). This was Stone's story and the conclusion of Hailey's Angel and I think had it really been the holidays I would have enjoy it more. This is why I can't read a Christmas book unless it's around that time of the year. Still I had to know how the gruff sheriff gets his HEA although I was a tad disappointed in the romance. I think I may read Dash's story next but I need a break first.

Bound by Lorelei James (4.5 stars) I saw's DA's review on this and knew immediately I would love it! I was not disappointed. Ronin Black is my kind of hero.

This is not another 50 Shades story but something really unique. The hero is part Japanese which I thought was really cool and he owns a Dojo and is a Master in Jujitsu. This is a weakness for me. There just isn't enough heroes out there like that. He's actually a nice guy which is what I think really drew me to him. The heroine however. Gosh I have mixed feelings on her. She one of those runs hot and cold and gives you whiplash. I liked her but didn't love her. She has too many issues and well morality isn't a bad thing and I felt she acted like a rebellious teenager and needed to really grow up. This is erotic romance so if you read this some of the words used to describe the sex scenes are raw. As I said in previous post the C word I could do without specially when a Character uses it to describe a feminine part of anatomy it's just sooo unsexy. All that said I haven't enjoy a book more in a very long time and I am counting the days for the conclusion to come out.

Bared To You by Sylvia Day (DNF) My first DNF of the year Where's the romance in this? I was immediately annoyed with how in heat the heroine is from the moment she mets the guy and got tired of it quickly. The chemistry just isn't believable and there is no sexual tension whatsoever between the two. I had to lay it down because this is very much alot like FSOG but with better writing but with sterile characters. At least with Ana and Christian there was build up and mystery and I hate to say it chemistry and passion. Eva and Gideon seem to be like every other erotica I read you know the ones where you just skip the story and go straight to sex. I just don't get the appeal?

So that brings me to this. I think Bound put me in a book funk. *sigh* There is just nothing I know of even similar out there so I don't know what to read next and I have till March 25th so I can't be in a book funk so

I need something to grab my attention but what?!?

Any one know of any books where the hero is a Martial Arts Instructor?
