recap
I sucked it up. 2 hours of cable guy + 5 hours of soccer = not enough reading. I even stayed up past midnight reading, once I got home. I’m about 1/2 way through Bared to You. I really like it, but it kind gave my sex fatigue. They were going at it every chance they got. I like the characters and the back story is good, but they behave like children. Hot sex, tantrum, run away, hot sex, repeat. I plan on putting myself in naughty time out to at least finish and maybe tag a few more, so I don’t feel like a failure.
I still had fun. I loved looking at everyone’s lists and will be checking out all your dirty reviews.
Oh look at you getting all the page counts in there! You know what I did? Pictures LOL (call me lazy)
Pictures are harder. I was being lazy too.
Hello, Missie! I should have thought of putting some Melissa Schroeder on my list. I know I have a few of her books. And I’m so curious about Bared to You, but I didn’t want to purchase it when I already have a whole stack of books to tackle. Still, looking forward to your thoughts on it.
P.S. Love how you marked your Freebies.
I caught Bared to You for $2.99 back when Felicia reviewed it. I like them cheap
most of these authors are pretty new to me. I’m hoping to sample a few this go around.
I’m super, super excited for this! I can’t wait to dive into all this smutty goodness. Plus, I see that we have several of the same books on our lists. We can totally compare notes! FUN!
I’ve been stalking your GR freebie & erotica lists. I’m pretty pumped. I’m hoping the Dish install guy is gone before I start reading. I’m not going to hold my breath that he would be a muse for my reading.
Wait, what? You’re not going to tackle these all at once? Don’t you know it’s better to do at least two at a time?
Sounds like a solid strategy.
The Siren! That book is popping up all over the joint. I’m saving it for another time. I plan to tackle some novellas so I can get more read.
Can’t decide if I want to do novellas or Bared to You.
I have Dane on my list too!
I will DEF be checking to see how you liked Bared to You!

Check out my – Doin’ It Dirty Goals! (:
I’m excited about that one too.
I read Dane last week, but I read A Dark Kiss of Rapture for ‘Doin It Dirty’ and liked it. It made me want to start reading the series anyway. I think next time I will definitely pick all novellas because there is no way I can read more than one full length book in 12 hours. Whew!
Ya. I should have just done novellas too. I would have a sense of accomplishment. But I’ve had Bared to You sitting there taunting me for a while.
