The Happily Ever After Mating Agency Presents Snovarg Island by Jane Wallace-Knight The Happily Ever After Mating Agency Presents: Snovarg Island by Jane Wallace-Knight

Review
Good story with lots of steamy romance and laughter. I do like quirky characters and Tyler is quirky. He just wants someone to accept him for who he is. Thanks to the Happily Ever After Mating Agency, he finds 2 men who truly want him. This M/M/M tale was a light, easy read.

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Two teams are currently at spot 74 (teams 2 & 4) if either or both roll a 2 or higher tomorrow could very well be the last roll. If both teams roll a 1 and or if they don't finish before the next roll then the game will go another roll. Here's the winning alternates all of these are under a spoiler tag in post 4.

76. purchased
77. Color: Yellow
78. Location: Kansas
79. Location: France
80. May-Read
81. Color: Gray/Silver

Again to win you must roll past 75 and you can read either the number you'd be on or the given alternate. In the event multiple teams roll past 75 then it comes down to who finishes first.

Hina (hinaj) | 514 comments YAY!!! We are in the running. I am almost done with my book, so I should have my review done late afternoon if I have time if not late tonight (after 10 PM).

Diana & Bouchra, how is it looking for your books?

Diane T. (tickledpink49) Fingers crossed! You practicing your roll, Hina? ;)

Read: Lemon Meringue Pie Murder (Hannah Swensen, #4) by Joanne Fluke Lemon Meringue Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke
Finished: 6/9/14
Series: Hannah Swensen #4
Rating: 3.5 ★★�
Review:
Norman has purchased some property. He plans on knocking down the current house and building the "Dream House". The one He and Hanna designed for a contest. While going through the house, Hanna and her mom, Dolores found the former owner, "Ronda Scharf". Of course, Hanna is on the case. Why would anyone want to kill poor "Rhonda"? The love triangle between Norman, Hanna, and Mike is still going on. I think if Hanna could make Norman and Mike into one person. She would have the perfect guy. I love getting to know a little more of the characters in this series and I love the recipes, especially the cookies ones. :)

Book: The Taming of the Wolf (Westfield Wolves, #4) by Lydia Dare The Taming of the Wolf by Lydia Dare.
Date Read: 6/11/14
Rating: 5 Stars

Review:
I absolutely love this book. The Westfield Wolves series has been decent, but I really didn't care for book 3, so I have been avoiding reading this one, since it has Dashiel who played sort of a bad guy and I really didn't like Caitrin in the past books, so I was pleasantly surprised, when I just fell in love with them from the first page. Dashiel accidentally binds Caitrin to him as his mate on the night of the full moon. He doesn't realize what he has done until it is explained to him that he is bound to Caitrin for life, Caitrin unaware of all this is on her way back home to scotland with Dashiel also heading the same way to be mentored by someone to get better control of his wolf. The journey to Scotland is the most fun I have read recently, there is romance, laugh out loud moments, sexy scenes. It has it all. This book might be my favorite yet. I just loved Dashiel and how he tries to convince Cait to marry him and how they end up falling in love.

Hina (hinaj) | 514 comments Bouchra How are you doing with your book?


Ladies, the sooner we roll past 75 and whoever finishes their reviews first is the one that will take the win. So we are really going to have read hard and fast. LOL.

The exams went well, thanks everyone. They were the SATs, so I won't be knowing until later this month how well I actually did.

Hina (hinaj) | 514 comments Fab 4 rolled a 6, so we are on spot 80.


Which means we can read Book 80 in a series, Book 8 in a series or Stand-Alone Book. The alternative is to read a May Read Shelf

Book: Daddy Next Door by by Judy Christenberry.
Date Read: 6/12/14
Rating: 3 Stars

Review:
When I read the first page of the first book, I was so excited with 3 year old Missy claiming Nick, the hero as their daddy. I just fell in love with both of them and the other two sister. Most of my enjoyment I think was taken out because of the heroine, Jennifer who was in the process of adopting the three little sisters. She was rude to Nick and you know it really didn't make sense why she was being that way, and after every one of those scenes there was an apology scene, where she would apologize. After the half a dozen time, I was thinking maybe she should think before she speak. She really didn't redeem herself in the end. I just did not like her whole attitude which was being defensive or obnoxious. Anything that can be talked over in a calm polite manner had to be done the opposite. I just like I couldn't connect with Jennifer at all. On a better note, I adored Nick! He was not only a good neighbor but he helped them out so much and his interactions with the kids were so cute. That was definitely worth the read just for the kids and Nick.
