Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

What were some of your favorite books you read in April? Anything you were surprised by?

My fav book I read in April was . Many of my friends were recommending it and said it a beautiful book, but oh my god!!! I absolutely loved it!!! Such a warm and emotional story. It's definitely among my all time favorites too.

Favorite read? Well, it's too hard to pick just one. LOL. I loved Love Irresistibly by Julie James (I was looking forward to it since I've heard it existed)! S.H. Kolee was my surprise-author of the month (Love Left Behind, woohoo)!

Julie James is fantastic! Her books are always sexy & fun.

Some of my favorites this month were:


<- Ty & Zane so... duh ;)
So good and free!
Ripped my heart out!



I was bummed I didn't enjoy . I was so excited to read it because I love Klune's other books, but this didn't work for me :/

Breann-- I know what you mean! I've been addicted to her books since I read Practice Makes Perfect! Disappointed that Wilkins wasn't the hero though! I was sure it was gonna be him! :(

I have 3 favorites from April-

- I loved every single thing about this novella!

- I had no expectations for this one and it ended up being a great surprise. Wacky, hot and fun- there is a follow-up short story that I am definitely going to read.

- I really liked the different take on vampires. A vampire in a 'coma' and a broken, sweet aide.

With a Kiss was one of your faves huh? I have it, so I guess I need to get to it soon!

was an unexpected winner for me in April. I'd had this book on my TBR for 18 months but kept overlooking it. What a mistake. Loved it and realised what a great writer LA Witt is! The other book I was expecting to be a bit ho-hum but was SO much better than I anticipated was .

I was a touch disappointed with . I usually love Kaje's work but the book was a bit mundane for the first half :( Guess not every work can be a complete winner. On the positive, the story line was left in such a way that there HAS to be a book 4.

I really liked it. Some mixed reviews but it really worked for me. It held my attention the entire time. I loved Liam and Marcus, your heart will break for Liam.

April was a great month of reading for me. I read so many great books and found a couple of great new to me authors.


- A crazy read!

Love the covers Lacy! I just *wish* I could get back into the BDB series... :( I'm stuck on John Matthew's book_Lover Mine.

I wish I was stuck to John Matthew...

LOL!

LOL! :0)

I keep saying that goodreads needs a "like" button, or a "damn straight" button, or ... A "ditto" button!

I can see getting stuck on that one. It was such an anticipated book that it had a lot to live up to. I fly through these books though, even when I try to make it last. The only one I had trouble finishing was Phurry's book!

If you ever get through Lover Mine, the next ones are really good. ;)

I really didn't enjoy Lover Enshrined - he was SO roached!

That one I enjoyed more the second time, maybe because I knew what to expect? And now that I've read JM & Rehv's stories their scenes were more interesting to me during the reread.

My favorites this month were:


I've been lucky with my reading material for the past couple of months. There hasn't been a single book I didn't like. :D Hopefully I can keep that up in May.

Oh, you did read some goodies Scarlet! Hopefully May will be just as lucky for you :)

I've just started the reread (OK, re-listen) of . Love the narrator, and I didn't want to start Web of Lies until I refreshed my memory on the whole set up. I loved this book the first time around, so I'm looking forward to the revisit :)
