It's has no real plot whatsoever. Reminds of what happened to the last book in the 50 Shades trilogy. The author just writes whatever is off the top of her head.

Just one more hour left of the book and I'm done.

One of the worse historical I have read and I have read many.
I am so done with this. I really wanted to support the effort of publishing a non regency but it's darn out embarrassing what is being passed off as a historical romance today. Where's the plot? Where's the history? The Characterization? It's just a sexy contemporary in long dresses.

The funny thing is I enjoy the prequel of the series. It's wasn't perfect but it was believable and had a real plot.

You need to write a review of it where you don't hold back! WARN people!

I did write a review letting them know the problems. I didn't give any real spoilers though because I don't like reading reviews with them in it. I am suppose to leave it at GR and Amazon and B&N. I didn't do B&N because I have no clue how that works over there.

This was a ARC and I got it for free in exchange for an honest review so that's what they got.

Thanks for telling me. I can't know how I missed them. I had the novella from X'mas. I also checked my library before getting them, good thing too. I already had them. Today seems to be the day for books. Whooo!!!!

[apesmom]

Are they any other romance blogs out there that are like (and as good) as DA and SBTBs? Places with reliable recommendations and not just focused on a single sub-genre?

I recently started following Smexy Books but it takes me a while to warm up to a new blog.

Suggestions?

Get them at ARe! They count towards a 10 for 1 free code. This is my new Avon sales strategy now that BoB is no more.

Totally agree. I've been book shopping today too. I picked up Linda Lael Miller's Vampire Series from 1993-1996 from Kobo. They are $4.99 but with coupon you can get them for a nice price. I paid full price for the first one a few months ago so I am ecstatic to get the rest of the series so cheap!

1. Forever and the Night
2. For All Eternity
3. Time Without End
4. Tonight and Always

A very sweet and kind person sent me some BIG Kobo coupons out of the blue. I just got my book allowance for this week so I am shopping!

Devil in Texas by Calista Fox I give it a solid B+. I feel good but wanted some more closure to some of the story. Still a good summer read. B&N Amz

Right Moves by Ava McKnight haven't read yet. B&N Amz

Thank you for recommending Devil in Texas, I just moved it way up in my freebieTBR pile, and created a new Tag for the recommendations from you guys: RR = Reader Recommended.

Oh, and NixLappi, you are becoming the bane of my existence as well, of course I had Undeniable on my wishlist. That's 2 buys in 2 days because of you! [in a very good way of course]

My "local" Best Buy does not have any Kobo gift cards and no plans to carry them. Neither Frys nor Best Buy sell the physical gift cards online. So I called Kobo Customer Service. I was told the whole no on-line gift cards issue IS temporary and though they have no timeline for when it will be restored it will be eventually. Grr!

Well you could just buy a visa gift card and use it. They aren't reloadable but it's a work around. I use a prepaid green dot card that is reloadable but in the past have used Visa gift cards or mastercard gift cards to buy books.

I'm not sorry! I'm just glad I'm not the only one totally being enabled with book-buying binges!

I called the Frys in Vegas and made them go look. They have them in stock, so I have sent big brother to buy me some. He thinks I'm nuts, but that is nothing new

Well at least he went right? My brother is too lazy to do anything himself. He's almost 50 now. I haven't heard from him in a few years. See LAZY.

Later tonight or early morning, I'm gonna post my Kobo purchases in case anyone is looking for something to buy. Seeing tomorrow is the last day of the contest and we have no clue when they will expire.
