Hanneri's 2018 Category Challenge

I am late in setting up my categories this year!

I had a good reading year in 2017. It had been a challenging year in many ways and that was reflected in my books. I wanted to escape and not have to think too hard. I will try and read more books of substance again this year, but I am too old to try and read books because it will impress others.

As before, I have made the decision that I read because I enjoy it, and I will read what I want when I want, regardless of whether a book fits into a category or not!

I am again going to keep it simple this year - I will have only six categories and I will not commit myself to a fixed number of books in each category.

I have decided to base my categories on weather types.

My categories are:

1. Stormy - Mysteries
2. Cloudy - History
3. Cold - Europe
4. Rainy - Novels
5. Sunny - Romance
6. Windy - Just Because

I am looking forward to another good reading year in 2018!

Happy reading everyone!

6. WINDY - Just because



I will see where the wind takes me in this category!

1. Testing the Submissive by Al Daltrey
2. A Condo with Two Views by Al Daltrey
3. The Life of Anna by Marissa Honeycutt
4. Darker (Fifty Shades as Told by Christian) by E.L James
5. Debt Inheritance by Pepper Winters
6. First Inheritance by Pepper Winters
7. Man's Man: Tales of a High-Priced Gay Hooker by Habu
8. Caged by Shanna Ehrlich

1. Kaleb by Nicole Edwards

I really enjoyed this, it was a quick holiday read. Looking forward to reading each of the Walker brother stories!

2. Zane by Nicole Edwards

The book was exactly what I expected. It followed on from the first book in the series. In this book be hear the story of Zane and V. A good holiday read!

3. Travis by Nicole Edwards

Nicole Edwards does it again. This book was absolutely amazing. Every Walker brother she comes out with I keep thinking it's my favorite.From the first page to the last page I could not put this book down.The dynamic between these three is incredible. Travis has always been serious, It was nice to see him open up Kylie and Gage's characters were written beautiful. Each of these characters are wonderful on their own but put the three together it's explosive.

4. Holidays with the Walker Brothers by Nicole Edwards

This was a super fun read. We got to get a look into what it's like to spend the Holidays with the Walker clan! We got to catch up with Kaleb, Zane & Travis as well as get a better glimpse at Sawyer, Ethan, Braydon & Brendon!!

5. Ethan by Nicole Edwards

Very well written. It was an emotional and captivating read.

6. Braydon by Nicole Edwards

Difficult relationships, heartbreak and hope! The dynamic between the twins is heartfelt and honest! The insecurities that Jessie expresses are easy to understand. Also a light holiday read.

7. Bonds of Trust by Lynda Aicher

I wish the characters had a little more depth but the story was good. Looking forward to the next story in this series.

8. Bonds of Need By Lynda Aicher

I like this book better then the original. Deklan and Kendra are really great characters. Recommended read!

9. Bonds of Desire by Lynda Aicher

I really loved this book. The dynamic between the three main characters felt real. Allie's struggle with the poly relationship is something anyone could have especially when the two men appear really attracted to each other from the start.

Happy 2018 reading!

Great to see you back. I love your 'weather' categories and the pictures you chose to illustrate them.

10. Bonds of Hope by Lynda Aicher

This was not my favourite in the series thus far. I cannot really say what was wrong, but it felt as if something was missing. I will continue to read the series though.

>6 Hanneri: Such an enjoyable picture while it is gray and chilly outside here!
IMHO, it's never too late to start. Looking forward to you following your reading adventures this year.

Great choices of categories! Have a great reading year!

A weather theme! Love it and looking forward to following your reading.

11. Bonds of Denial by Lynda Aicher

Carter and Rock were fantastic characters. both sad and lonely with different issues and they came together so beautifully and I enjoyed them even when they were defensive and pushing each other away. The side characters were great as well.

12. Insidious by Aleatha Romig

This book was a real page turner and held my interest from the 1st page through the last! The way the author held my interest was by not giving me a character to trust. I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop so to speak! I was suspicious of everyone and everyone's motives. The last line in the book was the kicker and still has me wondering what is going on?

13. Club Mephisto by Annabel Joseph

This book was a fair read, a tale of lifestyle submission to a loving 'owner'. He goes away and leaves her in the hands of the owner of Club Mephisto where she is trained in his particular way. It is in parts very hot. The story hangs together fairly well, focusing greatly on the submissive's choice to continue in service so that when she takes a 'punishment' the reader is aware that she could actually stop it if she really wanted to. A paced, slightly wicked tale.

14. Molly's Lips by Annabel Joseph

I liked this flip on the first book Mephisto. Seeing the story from Mephisto/jay perspective was nice. After reading the first book so many things were the same just on the flip side it almost seemed redundant to me to read it.

15. Burn for You by Annabel Joseph

Great characters, interesting dynamic. I really thought that the story began as it meant to end - it was strong, emotional, sexy and all that good stuff in between.

16. Comfort Object by Annabel Joseph

I liked this book. It moved along at a good pace. It had drama. It had an overbearing man that wasn't a billionaire. A nice ending.

17. Caressa's Knees by Annabel Joseph

Thoroughly enjoyed reading Kyle and Caressa's story! This was a little masterpiece, an intense love story, something touching and moving. And it is hard not to fall in love with Kyle!

18. Odalisque by Annabel Joseph

This could easily be a stand alone book, but I loved catching up with the characters from the first two books in the series. The Odalisque concept is interesting, and I find it fascinating that the Code actually exists. Again, the writing is excellent and the characters are deep. This book had more of a romantic feel to it than the previous two.

19. The CEO Buys In by Nancy Herkness

Very enjoyable read. Really liked the characters, especially Nathan of course. Chloe was head strong and independent, just wish her friends and family wasn't so negative about the relationship. But all around great enjoyable books.

20. Corporate A$$ by Sandi Lynn

Feisty woman discovers her boyfriend cheating, gets passed over for a promotion because of her cheating boss, her father dies suddenly...could life get any worse? Yes, playboy trying to take over her father's company! Lots of corporate drama while woman tries to hate guy. Quick read.

21. The All-Star Antes Up by Nancy Herkness

This was a wonderful light read! This novel takes two of the most unlikely people and pairs them into a wonderful love story. Always one to take a billionaire and pair them with a everyday plain person. Somehow managed to make the romance work.

Wow! You have powered through so many books already. It's looking like very sunny reading weather for you.

22. Stranded with a Billionaire by Jessica Clare

I found the hero a little cold and calculating to be honest and then it moved a little fast to really endear me to him. Not a bad read though.

23. The VIP Doubles Down by Nancy Herkness

I really enjoyed this book. The bantering back and forth between Gavin and Allie was so cute. I love their story and couldn't stop reading it. I really loved this series and hope their will be more of this in the near future.

24. With or Without Him by Barbara Elsborg

I really enjoyed the relationship between Haris and Tyler. I really felt for the tough times that both characters have gone through . Overall it was an amazing read.

25. Master of the Mountain by Cherise Sinclair

This was a good read. I enjoyed seeing Rebecca gain confidence and enjoy her awakened senses with Logan. The story hooked me from the first page. I didn't stop til it was finished. Ready for the next one!

26. Simon Says: Mine by Cherise Sinclair

This book drops you in the midst of a woman finding herself after a long boring marriage. I love how Simon wants her from the start and seeks to show her how good they can be together. This book gives you a delicious story in a short, quick read.

27. A Necessary Sin by Georgia Cates

I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down. Bleu is such a strong and independent character. Not like your usual heroine in a book. I have already started reading the second book and will probably devour that up just like the first one. Excellent read!!!

28. Submissive Beauty by Eliza Gayle

This was a somewhat interesting read - but it felt like something was missing. There were these secondary stories that started, but ended without a whimper - just sort of stopped. The relationships seemed surface and on some level did not make sense.

29. Stars Over Castle Hill by Samantha Young

I loved getting to see another way for Joss and Braden to end up together, but I have to say the original is still my favorite!

30. All I Am: Drew's Story by Jodi Ellen Malpas

This is a fun and quick read and it was really great to step back into Jesse's world as we get to hear Drew's story. This book continues the lives of Jesse, Sam and Drew following Jesse's marriage to Ava and Sam is involved with Kate. It was great to see a little more of daddy Jessie as well as daddy Drew.

31. Breaking Perfect by Lydia Michaels

I enjoyed reading about the dynamics between these three characters. I didn't think that Sean would have feelings for Libby and with the intensity he did considering his relationship with Mason. I loved the way these two men rallied around Libby to support her. And not to mention how sexy this book was. So glad I read this.

32. The Happy Onion by Ally Blue

It is refreshing that they didn't have loads of personal tragedy to wade through before they could open up and trust each other.

33. A Table for Three by Lainey Reese

This was definitely a quick read with excellent characters and an actual plot which was really good considering it was a short read. The story was good and had so much potential, wish there could have been just a little more depth to the story. Still a good quick fast read.

34. Damaged Goods by Lainey Reese

Loved this even more than the first, liked the fact that the characters from the first book kept popping up in this one too.

35. Innocence Defied by Lainey Reese

Tender and sweet with the right amount of Dominance. Enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. Enjoyed the whole series.

36. Beauty and the Billionaire by Jessica Clare

The theme is cliched. It is not very heavy or intense but a nice read if one is willing to spend some time in leisure without putting too much thought into it.

37. Sugar Daddies by Jade West

I loved this book. This was an easy read. It had everything in it I love to read in a book. There was drama, love, and even some heartbreak. This was my first Jade West book, I'm looking forward to reading more of her work!

38. The Next Sin by Georgia Cates

Great second book in this trilogy. Bleu and Sin are better than ever, with many ups and downs. Looking forward to the final book but then sad because it means the end of the series!

39. One Last Sin by Georgia Cates

I absolutely loved this final book in the trilogy. I was super excited to see other Fellowship men will have books as well. Highly recommend this series as well as this author.

40. Testing the Submissive by Al Daltrey

I enjoyed reading this book, but not to everyone's taste. Loved Abby's stories with her clients.

41. A Condo with Two Views by Al Daltrey

Loved this book with the alternating views. Al certainly takes things to the limits and it's hot as always. I loved Jack and Chloe and hope we hear more from them again one day. Once I started I found it very hard to put down as I had to see what happened next.

42. The Life of Anna: The Complete Story by Marissa Honeycutt

The Life of Anna is a long, dark, beautiful, erotic journey. Be sure to read the warnings before you start this series. If you are brave enough to continue, I promise it will be well worth it. Marissa has created characters so deep and real, they stay with you long after the story ends. Each book is a few shades darker than the last, making the conclusion that much more rewarding.

43. Darker (Fifty Shades as Told by Christian) by E.L James

I enjoyed this. Was interesting reading the book from Christian's point of view. I enjoyed this book the most in the original trilogy.

44. Master of the Abyss by Cherise Sinclair

I enjoyed this. Was perfect for a weekend read.

45. Debt Inheritance by Pepper Winters

This was a dark read. The premise of the story is interesting and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

46. First Debt by Pepper Winters

I had some difficult connecting with the characters. At times I love the chemistry between Jethro and Nila and then other times there's such a disconnect that I don't really care what happens to them. I feel like this book pulled me in much more than the first one and I will definitely continue with the series because while I have an idea where this series is going, there have been quite a few shocks along the way that I wasn't expecting.

47. Delayed Penalty by Bianca Sommerland

I liked the book but I must say that it is not my favorite of the series. I love Bianca writing but there was just something missing from this book that was there in the others.

48. Room at the Top by Jane Davitt

This story was pretty good, but I felt like it was missing something. I didn't sense much chemistry between Liam and the subs, mainly on his part. That may have been because he's a bit closed off emotionally, but when reading his perspective, you'd think you should be able to feel the strength of his emotions even if he doesn't show them outwardly. I just didn't feel it, so it left me wanting.

49. Room at the Edge by Jane Davitt

A satisfying follow up to Room at the Top. The relationship development is really wonderful to see unfold. I wish there was a bit more outside of the private developments, and there was more dealing with the nature of their relationship vs the world.

50. Nowhere Ranch by Heidi Cullinan

This book is about the touching love story between Roe & Travis and the steadfast friendship between Roe & Haley! It had more than explicit sexual content and graphic language, it spoke of love, friendship, kindness, loyalty and tolerance!

51. My Dom by Jane Henry

This is my first time reading these authors and I am intrigued to what is next in the Boston Doms Series. I enjoyed this story and the fact that it didn't have any unnecessary twists or turns not need to keep me glued to the pages throughout the story. Very well written.

52. Judgment by Denise Hall

It is not for the faint hearted as it takes on new levels of disturbing. I never thought I would ever feel bad for a slave wanting to go back to her master but the author portrayed Mischief's overwhelming sense of loss without Tane and it had me begging for him to get her back. Especially twisted and wrong on so very many playing fields but a fantastic read. I only wish Tane and Mischief's story went on rather than swapping over to a different main character in book 2.

53. Sawyer by Nicole Edwards

This is the story of a nerdy girl that turns into a beautiful woman. A cocky kid who didn't really bully her but didn't stop it either. Ever since Kennedy returned to town and opened her veterinary business, Sawyer has chased her. When she finally agrees to visit the resort, he knows his life will never be the same without her. Hunky cowboys. A feisty vet.

54. Brendon : Alluring Indulgence by Nicole Edwards

I knew the last book was going to be tough to read and especially since it was on Brendan and Cheyanne. Those two hit around the bigs forever not doing a thing and just picking each other's buttons. This was one of my favourite series I have to say I've ever read. I have a tendency to enjoy the family books and this series had that and so much more. Nicole Edwards is an awesome writer and I can't wait to see what she does next.

55. Alphabet Soup by C. B. Conway

When Andy meets CK he thinks BDSM is all about taking so much pain his body shuts down. CK helps him realise there are other ways to play with dominance and submission that take him into subspace without leaving him broken. This is a book about healing from past trauma, building trust and bravely seeing where this new relationship takes them.

56. Mercy by Denise Hall

This kept my interest but it was certainly not as good as the first. I enjoyed it and would definitely read another.

57. Going Home by Max Vos

Wow what an emotional book. I'm still a little unsure of the subject matter but I'm swinging towards. Its beautifully written with some good sentiment there. Love is for anyone!! Loved the connections. The whole mmmmmm what's going to happen happens early on in the book and it just builds from there!!! loved it going search for another Max Vos book now!!

58. Man's Man: Tales of a High-Priced Gay Hooker by Habu

This was an ok read. Not something that I will remember.

59. Indulge by Georgia Cates

What a beauty this book is. So tender and heartbreaking and sexy and hopeful. I simply loved reading every word!

60. Their Virgin Captive by Shayla Black

Was okay, good story, a little bit too dramatic at times, a little rushed in some places. I enjoyed it just wasn't happy with the style.

61. Knight and Play by Kitty French

Wasn't sure what to expect but this book was really good. I loved how Lucien made Sophie feel adored, precious and beautiful during their many many escapades. The scenes where written beautifully and I just fell in love with the characters.

62. Endurance: A Sin Series Standalone Novel: Volume 4 (The Sin Trilogy) by Georgia Cates

I have never been disappointed by picking up and reading a Georgia Cates book. This was another one that was knocked out of the park. Full of spice, sass, heat, passion, suspense and love. I simply couldn't get enough of this book. Every page let me on the edge of my seat, needing more. I loved Ellison & Jamie's story. It was truly exceptional.

63. Unintended: A Sin Series Standalone Novel: Volume 5 by Georgia Cates

Georgia Cates did it again. She had love, suspense, and heat all in one book. This is an excellent addition to the sin series. I loved this book and recommend it to everyone.

64. Knight and Stay by Kitty French

I really enjoyed Sophie change into an exquisite butterfly. All that Lucien did to help her become a strong, independent woman kinda backfires on him, which is fun to read. I love Lucien & love his change in this book as well!

65. Knight and Day by Kitty French

A fabulous end to the trilogy. As with the other two books it was sexy and witty and as much as I loved Sophie and Lucien, I'm found Dylan very sexy and I'm so please to have learnt more about Kara, those two were made to be together. Kitty's books are just fantastic, she never disappoints.

66. Wicked Ties by Shayla Black

Liked the characters, although did not sit well with the fact that Jack wanted to use the heroine to get back at his ex. Bit of a nasty streak that didn't sit well with me.

67. High (Indigo Lounge #1) by Zara Cox

What a quick, intense and good read.I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next in this series.

68. Higher (Indigo Lounge #2) by Zara Cox

The book started where book one left off which was good. It was another easy to read book but I must admit I got a bit bored at the half way point. Not as good as book one but both books are worth a read.

69. With This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas

It was nice to get back to these characters... It was like meeting old friends... This book it was just that for me though, meeting old friends, I didn't get anything new, it didn't add major things in Ava and Jesse's story, it was just a trip to memory land for me, a nice way to pass the time.

70. Manwhore by Katy Evans

I loved both Rachel and Malcolm. I loved how they started out and grew to be more. Loved their interaction, how perfect they were for each other and together. Malcolm's to die for! Alpha through and through. He gave me the shivers. The guy's just irresistible. Heaven help me! Rachel's also very likable. She's fun, tough yet vulnerable. Perfect combination.

71. Manwhore + 1 by Katy Evans

Love this book, for so many reasons. There isn't the usual big thing where the hero needs to save the heroine. They are portrayed as normal people with normal issues and it's a refreshing change that I love.

72. Ms. Manwhore by Katy Evans

A sweet and drama free novella detailing the wedding day. Includes a quick peek at the dynamic between Tahoe and Gina. I'm definitely interested in their story. A nice addition to the series but not a must read.

73. Ladies Man by Katy Evans

Sometimes people aren't who they portray themselves to be. Other times you don't know what you want or need until you're with someone else yet feel that pull to another person. No one is perfect. They have reasons for what they do and why they keep people at a distance. I loved Tahoe. He was the right amount of hot and sexy with a great story to tell.

74. Womanizer by Katy Evans

The Manwhore series has been an addictive and decadent delight to read. Every one of these men would make the magazine selection for "sexiest man alive!" If you love hot romance, this series is a must read!

75. I, Porn Star by Zara Cox

This book focuses around Lucky who is a slip of a girl running from her past and gets tangled up with the elusive Q in exchange for money. There is plenty of angst with equal amounts of love scenes which I adored and plots galore occur which I won't spoil for you. I'm off to read the next book in the series.

76. Black Sheep by Zara Cox

Fantastic! Couldn't stop reading this. Intriguing plot and great characters. Looking forward to read more from this author.

77. Wicked s.o.b by Zara cox

I loved Quinn and Elyse since I Porn Star and I love them even more in this book. I want more. I feel that this book moved too quickly but only because I didn't want it to end!! Please Zara give me more Quinn!!! A beautiful story. Beautiful!

78. Aftershock by Sylvia Day

I really enjoyed this book a bit short but I liked the characters.

79. Aftershock by Sylvia Day

A quick and easy read. I liked this book and I enjoyed all of the books by Sylvia Day but, I kind of wished there was more to this series. Still a great read though!!

80. More by Sloan Parker

The story was good but it was far too drawn out; the climax was much too slow in coming. Also, I would have preferred a better description of the characters, instead of the super vague ones provided.

81. More Than Most by Sloan Parker

I loved the mystery of this book. It kept me on my toes and guessing the whole way through it. I would defiantly recommend this book.

82. The Hot Floor by Josephine Myles

I enjoyed this book. Some angst with one of the MCs continually wondering how he is going to fit into the existing partnership and not always be the third wheel. Very funny in places.

83. Dirty Billionaire by Meghan March

At first I wasn't sure I was going to like this. But once i started reading I got hooked. I couldn't put it down. Creighton is just wow all alpha male. And Holly is so his opposite.

84. Dirty Pleasure by Meghan March

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I knew I would get hot and sexy but I didn't expect to get sweet and romantic. This is a great quick read.

85. Dirty Together by Meghan March

I was a little nervous when I started reading about the direction the story was going to take. This was an emotional roller coaster. Holly and Creighton are perfect together and now that the series is over I will miss them. This was the perfect ending.

86. Claiming Eden by Kele Moon

Too little story for me. Will not be remembered.

87. Spin: An Indigo Lounge Novella by Zara Cox

Good series. Like the story and the characters.

88. Glimmer by Beth Kery

I am really looking forward to Glow. This book was a good read with a plot worth sticking with.

89. Second Debt by Pepper Winters

This book took me by surprise. You finally start to see and feel the connection between Jethro and Nila. Which, unfortunately, makes his deeds and the actions of his family all that much more despicable. The ending of this book came as a surprise.

90. Pennies by Pepper Winters

In true Pepper Winters style this is a dark and twisted story of one woman's struggle to survive it. It is definitely a dark tale with a bit of true horrific scenes. This the the first part of a series and am anxious to see where she will take this one.

91. Dollars by Pepper Winters

Pepper really keeps you on your toes with this second book. The continuation of Pim and Elder’s journey is fascinating. The more you read the more you get a glimpse into their lives. Definitely another amazing read and looking forward to what comes next for these two.

92. Hundreds by Pepper Winters

The story of Elder and Pim continues as more truths come to light, more heartache is experienced, more healing takes place. This is a brutal story about broken people who struggle to overcome and sacrifice their own happiness for the sake of the other. Series is highly recommended

I've got a number of Pepper Winters books on my TBR shelves, so it's good to see your rave reviews :)

93. Thousands by Pepper Winters

Truly amazing story. Two broken people who are the key to fixing each other. Are ripped apart either by themselves or by others. Some people from past series make appearance.

94. Millions by Pepper Winters

This series has been at times hard to read and then there are times I couldn't put it down! Pepper Winters is an author who never lets you down with her stories! It amazes me how she pulls you in and feel everything her characters are going through! Always will love Pim and Elder! Thank you for a great story Pepper Winters!

95. Beneath the Scars by Cherise Sinclair

As always, Cherise comes through with a wonderful story. We catch up with some of the past characters but add a little suspense and a whole lot of love.

96. Beyond the Edge by Elizabeth Lister

I really enjoyed my first read of this author. Thought the story was well paced and had lots going on. I look forward to reading book 2.

97. Torment Me by Annabel Joseph

I love Annabel Joseph's dark BDSM stories and it's been a while since i read a proper BDSM book not a sugar kink one. One minute I hated W, the next I completely loved him. Dark dominant alpha's are my favorite to read about the jerkier they are the more I love them.

98. Stolen by Jay Marie

It's a dark and depraved world Jaden is dragged into, the world of human trafficking and she has to find a way to survive it in one piece. Fighting with everything she has,Jaden tries to find a way out,away from the owner that punishes defiance with brutal violence. My heart racing, I was on the edge of my seat until the last page.

99. Survival (Stronger Series Book 2) by Jay Marie

Another great edition to this dark, violent, and oh so amazing and at times funny series which continues Jaden's path with human trafficking. We finally learn the owner's name, Darren and I like him even though he's an evil bastard who is obsessed with Jaden . Once more Jaden isn't afraid to challenge Darren at every turn and I love it. I can't wait for the next book to see what happens with Jaden and Darren.

100. Spark (Stronger Series Book 3) by Jay Marie

Jay Marie delivers a third installment in her Stronger series that will leave you breathless! It's not often that I read a series that keeps me engrossed and invested by the end of book three but it is definitely the case with this one. Spark picks up right where survival left off. My heart broke for Jaden in the first part of the book and then, just when I started to feel better, it broke some more. I am not quite sure what to write about Darren. Just when you think that he may be softening and becoming somewhat human, he goes into super diabolical villain mode. But I guess that's what I love about his character. In this installment we also get to meet some of Darren's family and friends as well as a glimpse into the life of one particular character from book one. Overall, Spark completely lived up to the expectations set forth by the first two books in the series. It is thrilling, dark, erotic, disturbing and definitely a must read!

101. Wicked Grind by J. Kenner

The story line was well written and one I really enjoyed. I love reading both sides of the story. I love when authors bring previous names into a book. The chemistry between the two characters is amazing! Love J Kenner!

102. Bind Me by Stacey Kennedy

I enjoyed this book. The romance that bloomed I liked. The main characters Reed and Marley were interesting.

103. Glow by Beth Kery

The second novel in the series is big on suspense. Quite a few surprises! Not as many erotic scenes as the first book ‘Glimmer’ but they were still incredibly hot. Excellent captivating read.

104. Because you are Mine by Beth Kery

An erotic, kinky romance that hits all the right spots. If you wanted to like Fifty Shades but hated their poor relationship skills then this the book for you! We have a virginal college student, a billionaire business man with control issues, kinky sex, and two people that communicate their wants and needs to each other! With just enough of a dark history that the hero wants to remain hidden to keep things interesting.

105. Muse in Lingerie by Penelope Sky

The next generation after Buttons! Conway Barsetti, super successful lingerie designer. He doesn't love the spotlight, Alpha oozing out of his pores. His Muse, finds herself in an unfortunate situation and the only one to save her is Conway. Penelope outdid herself. Well written, get ready for one hell of a read.

106. Beauty in Lingerie by Penelope Sky

Penelope has captured me with another series. I feel as though I'm right there in Tuscany and everything is so beautiful. The characters are great and I feel like I can feel everything they feel. Conway and Muse make a wonderful couple. Conway purchased Muse from human traffickers for 100 million dollars to save her now she is his and she has no choice in the matter because if he had not purchased her she would have been abused badly, so she is very grateful.

107. Lady in Lingerie by Penelope Sky

Conway and Muse's relationship has reached a climatic point. The introduction of Bones 2.0 is kicking the story line into second gear for sure! The ending had me frustrated, near tears, and ticked!!! Conway is really fighting his feelings for Muse -- to his detriment... He should have heeded his dad's warning. On pins and needles for the next installment to see not only how their story plays out but also to see what Bones is up to.

108. Queen in Lingerie by Penelope Sky

This was the perfect ending to Conway and Sapphire's story! I would have loved a little snippet from the lingerie show at the very end, with everyone's reaction to Conway's news, but it wasn't really necessary. I loved seeing a bit more of Vanessa in this story too, and am looking forward to reading her story next!

109. Rule of Three by Kelly Jamieson

This was a really good story it started out a little slow but once it picked up it really got going.

110. Rhythm of Three by Kelly Jamieson

Read in a day ... nice continuation of the series. Really enjoyed reading about the unique challenges with this sort of relationship.

111. Reward of Three by Kelly Jamieson

I loved the conclusion of Dag, Chris and Kassidy. They proved that love and commitment can get you through the toughest and happiest times .

112. When I'm With You by Beth Kery

Lucien and party girl Elise know each other for years, but when they meet in Chicago the world closes in on them. Secrets that should not have been kept by Lucien, and her out of control ways.....still get them to fall in love. Wonderfully written, and enjoyed from beginning to end.

113. Public Display of Everything by Cara Dee

An unexpected twist. Look at you be a book that surprised me. Delicious little confection with intensely hot dirty talk and a voyeuristic kink that turned the heat levels up to eleven. All that and it still managed to deliver a lovely romantic HEA between two lonely guys.

114. Hardcore Twenty-Four by Janet Evanovich

There are still some laugh out lines in this continuing story of Stephanie Plum, bail bond enforcement agent. But the formula is getting worn out. She is still seeing Ranger and Morelli, but can't decide between the two. There is a new man in her life, Diesel, who comes and goes as he pleases, sleeping in her apartment periodically, even though he doesn't have a key. If you are a fan of this series, you will probably like it. Lula, Stephanie's friend and assistant is still present, with outlandish clothes, and Stephanie's Grandma is still as wacky as ever.

115. Buttons and Hate by Penelope Sky

These books are wonderful. I love to read books that deal with things the way life really is. yes not many go through the things that Pearl & Crow do but it makes me feel for them. it also makes me want to read more & see how they finally work everything out & end up together. On to book 3 now.

116. Buttons and Lace by Penelope Sky

Back to dark again. Absolutely worth my time. The heroine is what I want in all my characters. Her tough persona is the one thing i love in every female character instead of your usual doormat lady. No fun. But i suggest you to pick this up if you are willing to go for a female character who actually has a backbone and can definitely hold her own throughout.

117. Buttons and Pain by Penelope Sky

Their story is full of crazy dark and addicting situations. This book, especially towards the end, had me on the edge of my seat. Deep emotional scars and healing at its finest.

118. Sleeping Murder by Agatha Christie

I love Miss Marple; she is wise and knows human nature and knows that people can not be taken at face value, they lie. This is her last murder mystery in the series, which don't have to be read in order to enjoy them, but I prefer to see her more in the picture than in this story. She hovers in the background, helping the nice young couple afflicted by a ghostly vision from the past, but she's not really present in the story literally and figuratively.

119. Lana by R.K. Lilley

This is a really quick but oh so good read... so glad we got a better look on Lana absolutely fell for her in The Up in The Air Series and I couldn't have enjoyed her story more

120. Tempt Me Twice by Eden Bradley

Not a whole lot of plot, and not sure how realistic the situation is, but it was worth the read.

121. Bared to Him by Sierra Cartwright

Great novella, good characters, and yeah, I enjoyed reading it.

122. Bind by Sierra Cartwright

This was a great and unique story. I enjoyed the characters and the plot - something different than the typical billionaire story. The ending though felt rushed a bit.

123. Caged by Shanna Ehrlich

Wow! Not what I expected at all but damn it was good. Talk about possessive.

124. Taunt Me by Annabel Joseph

This book is very dark but I love it. The characters realize that this relationship is not normal but it is their normal and I love it.

125. Trust Me by Annabel Joseph

Perfect ending to the series. Yes, it was pretty brutal, but I could look past that and enjoy an incredible love story.

126. Her Debt by Rebel Rose

Her Debt was really good , it was quick but very enjoyable with Tristan and Emma Lia . I loved their chemistry and cant wait to see what happens next with them .

127. His Deal by Rebel Rose

Reading the relationship of Tristian and Emma Lia grow throughout book 2 has been a roller coaster ride. I cried with Emma Lia and felt powerful when Tristan did. Couldn’t put this story down, completed in one day.

128. Their Destiny by Rebel Rose

This was the perfect ending to a wonderful and beautiful story! I really liked the dynamic for Tristan and Emma Lia. You see a progression of transition from Dom to husband but the Dom is never far away.

129. The Devil's Kiss Box Set by Gemma James

A tantalising box set that will leave you wanting more. Even though I have just read an entire box set I am still wanting more to read from this author.

130. Dirty Bad Wrong by Jade West

The title explains it all. This book is definitely dirty, bad and all wrong and I liked it.

131. Dirty Bad Savage by Jade West

Lots of different feelings with this series but it really is a good series. I really liked Sophie, Calum was ok but both characters fit the bill and made this an interesting book. Can't wait to get to the next book.

132. Dirty Bad Strangers by Jade West

Story drew me in and I couldn't put it down. I liked all of the characters except the ones that you're supposed to hate.

133. The Club by Lauren Rowe

Good story of two people who have been broken. Learning trust and love as well as themselves. I loved their love story. Was bit of s roller coaster with what they need to get threw to be with each other.

134. The Reclamation by Lauren Rowe

Even though I think this book is unnecessary (in the sense that it probably should have been tacked on to book three), I enjoyed it. I like the characters and the relationship between Jonas and Sarah.

135. The Redemption by Lauren Rowe

I really loved this series, I thought Sarah and Jonas were great together. I really admired Sarah for being a strong female lead!

136. The Culmination by Lauren Rowe

I laughed and cried. The interaction and heat between Sarah and Jonas was off the charts. Loved every minute of this series!

137. Big Rock by Lauren Blakley

This was another friends to lovers story by Lauren Blakely that was fun to read and I enjoyed. It wasn’t anything over the top extraordinary or memorable, but it had a hot alpha lead character, and everything was served with the right amount of humor.

138. Dirty Bad Secrets by Jade West

Loved the story between Andy and Faye both were so strong together could feel the emotion's through the writing.

139. Safeword: Rainbow by Candace Blevins

This was a pretty good story, I liked it. Except that it had a couple of really big coincidences that happened that felt unbelievable. If you over look those two things it's a good read.

140. Safeword: Matte by Candace Blevins

Liked the story between Samantha and Ethan and love the fact that he can handle her natural fight instinct and force her to submit which deep down is what she's truly craving.can't wait for the next book.I think the story is well written and easy to follow.
