message 551: by Tiffanny (new)

Tiffanny I read Gone Country too and I was really surprised by how much I liked Gavin's story!!! I'm really looking forward to (fingers crossed) Sierra and Boone's story. I hope she writes their story, like it's several years later and they're grown up....I've thought of so many different scenerios that might bring them together, lol.

Amy J. | 349 comments I loved Decadent (Wicked Lovers, #2) by Shayla Black **** and Kidnapped for Christmas by Evangeline Anderson *** was very enjoyable as well.

Thanks again Macwolf01!


message 555: by Pam (new)

Pam | 1048 comments I finished the first of my PIFM books The Warlord Wants Forever (Immortals After Dark, #1) by Kresley Cole . Pretty hot...story fell apart a few times but it went quickly. I've started my next one. Thanks Ashley for the recommendation. It's my first Kresley Cole.

MountainKat | 30294 comments Dee, I started Lumberjack In Love today. Not sure if you still wanted to do a buddy read, but I needed something to start while I was getting my hair done and I didn't sleep well and was reading too late and too early and nearly finished my other book. Sorry! I would be happy to discuss with you...

Isha | 500 comments Finished Eternal Rider (Lords of Deliverance, #1) by Larissa Ione and enjoyed it and Too Darn Hot by Pamela Burford which was a great read for a freebie. Thanks for the picks Pat


message 559: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 30294 comments I finished Lumberjack In Love this morning! Cute, sweet little story - thanks for the push to finally read it!


message 560: by Pam (new)

Pam | 1048 comments Finished my second book this morning -I love winter break! Read Yours to Keep (Kowalski Family, #3) by Shannon Stacey . It's my favorite Kowalski book yet. Laugh out loud funny and liked both male and female leads. Thanks Ashley!


message 561: by Juliet (new)

Juliet (yiinochi) I've completed my second book Fifty Shames of Earl Grey by Fanny Merkin . Very hilarious book. Although the story is ridiculous, it's a good getaway from the heavy tones book.

This series actually gets better as it goes. When I read the first book it took me a year to finally start the 2nd one and really get into them. The later ones are the best!


message 563: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 30294 comments Sassafrass, I am free to read Holiday Kink whenever you are! I I'll be busy Christmas Eve, all day, and Christmas Day, but before or after whatever works for you.


message 564: by Rachel-RN (new)

Rachel-RN (rachelgoodbyeborders) | 202 comments Elizabeth-
I finished Wicked Games by Jill Myles and really enjoyed it. I'm also hoping to get to Extreme Exposure (I-Team, #1) by Pamela Clare this month too....


message 565: by Raine (new)

Raine | 177 comments Pam, I finished Sins of the Night (Dark-Hunter, #8) by Sherrilyn Kenyon . I enjoyed it, but I've seen better by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I hope to finish Barefoot in the Sand (Barefoot Bay, #1) by Roxanne St. Claire this month as well.


message 566: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 449 comments Just finished Naked by Raine Miller and gave it 3 stars. It would have been 4 if it didnt have such a god awful cliff hanger of an ending.
Naked (The Blackstone Affair, #1) by Raine Miller

Thanks for the rec!

Let's shoot for the day after Christmas MK, I can make it work then.


message 568: by Sassafrass (new)

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4159 comments I agree Tiffany, let's fast forward a bit and give them their story. I'm glad to hear it's been confirmed. :)

Diane ~Firefly~ | 1503 comments Kelli,

I just finished my second suggestion - Paper Hearts by Maureen Child .

For a short story, it covered all the bases and didn't feel rushed. Thanks for recommending it.


message 571: by Kami (new)

Kami (aidansmama) | 988 comments I finished my third pick Lover Enshrined by JR Ward. I didn't like Phury's story as much as I liked his twin's Zsadist's. But there was a lot happening in this book that I did like so I am giving it four stars.


message 572: by Gigi (new)

Gigi | 1149 comments Breann,

Thank you for the nudge. I finished Promises. I'm glad you recommended it. Thank you so much!


message 573: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 30294 comments Sassafrass and I did a buddy read of Holiday Kink, my pick for her. I really liked it, I think she did too! I am really glad she picked it - it was my first book by Eve Langlais even though I have been seeing that name around goodreads for months!


message 574: by Sassafrass (new)

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4159 comments I did really like it MK. It was hot. I'll update my post later but I'm on my phone so it's hard to do the books and stuff. Thanks for another great pick!

I had a lot of fun picking for you - you have really great shelves!!

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Kimberly,

I finished one of your recs, Zoe Archer's Warrior (The Blades of the Rose, #1) by Zoe Archer , and it was a fun read. I enjoy the 'adventure' feel of the book.

Thanks for the push to get it off my TBR shelf.


message 578: by Kristina Simon (new)

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) Thanks for picking Small Town Christmas by Jill Shalvis for me, Nairabell. I just finished it and it was a really cute, sweet read. I'm working on P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern, too, but I'm not sure I'll finish it by the end of the month.


message 579: by Erin (new)

Erin (erin-b) I finished my second pick for the month, Mate Claimed (Shifters Unbound, #4) by Jennifer Ashley . I have really enjoyed the rest of this series and this one was just as entertaining. Now to wait for the next book...


message 580: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi Emily ,

I'm sorry but this was exam month and I really couldn't manage to read any books , but have added the books to my TBR,will definitely read one or two next month!

Sorry:(


message 581: by Shell (new)

Shell | 2 comments Nikita, I've tried to finish The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie but am unable to. I just couldn't get into it. Thank you for motivating to get it off my TBR list. :)


message 582: by ~KarenH~, Moderator (new)

~KarenH~ | 10972 comments I finished my last (I think) PIFM book for the month yesterday - Dark Citadel. I liked it a lot and definitely plan on continuing the series. Thanks for the AMAZING picks this month, Sassafrass, they were wonderful!

message 584: by Joyce (new)

Joyce (eternity21) | 738 comments I finished my second book Kiss of the Night on 12/26/12 I really loved this one. I give it 4 1/2 stars if I could. I wish Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ would let us give 1/2 star ratings.


message 585: by Iris (new)

Iris (ipro) | 277 comments I finished A Taste of Midnight and I really liked it. I give it 4 stars. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer!

Also finished Quinn's Undying Rose. Also 4 star. The story and plotline were great, but I found it difficult to like the heroine at times.

Lala  | 169 comments Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1) by J.R. Ward 06.12.12

Why in hell didn't i read this book before!! I loved every minute of it :) It had action, love, friendship, bad guys and of course vampires :) It had everything you want from a good book.


Shadow of Night (All Souls Trilogy, #2) by Deborah Harkness 21.12.12

In this book Diana and Matthew will go back in time looking for Ashmole 782, but not everything goes as it should. It was a great book with amazing story that took me to another world full of magic and other worldly creature :) Just loved it!

Hi Ab2y

Just wanted to let you know that I wasn't ignoring your picks ... I've been waiting for something to become available from the library or to get a GC. Unleashed and Backstage both just came in so I'm hoping to finish at least one by midnight the 31st.

I'm keeping both list I got this month as I didn't sign up for Jan PIFM as I'm away on training most of the month

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 1058 comments Larissa

I finished my second pick, Eternal Rider (Lords of Deliverance, #1) by Larissa Ione .

It was a little difficult to get into at first, a slow starter for me. But when I finally made it past the first few chapters, I enjoyed the read and remembered why I liked the first series. I'm definitely going to try and read Limos' book soon.

I'm glad to hear that! :D
I tried reading it as well, but it was clear I was missing a lot of details and should read Demonica first, so I put it on hold.

Nancy H | 1097 comments I finished Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh. This book has been recommended to me several times, and I finally decided to read it this month. It was okay, and although I am not a fan of paranormal romance, I did enjoy it. At first I thought I wasn't going to like it and didn't even know if I would continue to read it, but I am glad I did, and liked it by the end.

Thanks for the recommendation, Regina - I finally picked it up and am glad I did!


message 596: by Larissa (new)

Larissa | 138 comments Dolores, yesterday I finished Defiance and though a few things about it bothered me, I mainly enjoyed it (:


message 597: by Nairabell (new)

Nairabell | 433 comments Hi Erin! I totally spaced on posting here but I managed to finish Tangle of Need in the early hours of 2013 and it was awesome. I really enjoyed seeing more of Hawke and Sienna now they're mated and where the whole psy-war is going.

~Melissa~ | 2079 comments Finished my fourth book Conspiracy Game (GhostWalkers, #4) by Christine Feehan and loved it.

~KarenH~ | 10972 comments Hi everyone! We had a pretty good month considering how busy people tend to be in December - lots of great books read. :) I'm going to try to put together some final statistics tomorrow sometime, so if anyone has read stuff that they haven't read, please be sure to post it.

Thanks!
