Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments I'm reading Blue Bayou (The Callahan Brothers, #1) by JoAnn Ross by JoAnn Ross. I'm originally from south Louisiana so I tend to read books set there. However, this one is something else....I've never ridden in a pirogue and while I understand the way they're talking, it kind of makes Cajuns sound dumb, and I'm feeling very protective of my heritage LOL I'll reserve judgement until I finish the whole book.

message 13: by Midu (new)

Midu Hadi | 1693 comments I hear ya! That's why I'm reluctant to read the next one.


message 14: by ~Megan~ (new)

~Megan~ (megadee) I am not a fan of the series either, ladies....I feel like an outcast amongst romance readers, but there it is.

I haven't been a big fan since book 5, so I'm sorta in the same boat? ;-)

I've never read anything by this author... I think I've heard of her though; I'll have to check her out.

Oh, Midu! Something else for me to look into.

Nah!


message 24: by ~Megan~ (new)

~Megan~ (megadee) Is it possible I've found a whole group of people who are not BDB fanatics???

*in heaven*

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments I liked it better the second time. I did the book/audio comb to get through it, as well as a "buddy read". I did find myself interested in finding out about the rest of the BDB, which surprised me and they weren't pushing my buttons at the beginning.

My biggest problems were the vernacular and the villain. Do they all have to sound like ZZ Top, or whoever is? And the villain - **blows raspberry** I just wanted to skip his sections. Not that I don’t like a good villain; he just didn’t hold my attention.

Nope, sorry, I'm a BDB fan LOL While I haven't enjoyed every book (I'm talking about Phury's and honestly, the last one was kinda bleh as well), I do like the Brothers :)


message 28: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl (cawils_99) Just finished Captive Bride by Johanna Lindsey . It was pretty good but it felt like the "fighting" between the H/h went on way too long.
I am now reading The Dark Highlander (Highlander, #5) by Karen Marie Moning and I love this series!

I never did follow-up with you on the last one. So it wasn't just me that was underwhelmed with it? lol


message 30: by Heather (new)

Heather (messybar) | 1307 comments Finished Killjoy (Buchanan, #3) by Julie Garwood and ending picked up, but still not a great read.
Picking up the new series by Nora Roberts, The Next Always (Inn BoonsBoro, #1) by Nora Roberts .


message 31: by Susan (susayq ~), Moderator (new)

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments Nope Heather, not just you. While I was pleased there were no lessers, I felt like she just recycled Butch and the sad thing is Manny doesn't even want to change and spend as long as he can with Payne. Kinda irritated me lol


message 32: by Heather (new)

Heather (messybar) | 1307 comments I thought so too!!!!!!! Didn't do Manny and his story justice at all, IMO.


message 33: by Susan (susayq ~), Moderator (new)

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments Nope not at all.

Sorry! Yes, Amazon.


message 35: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Already figured it out; already downloaded it. Thanks, Laura!


message 36: by Laura (new)

Laura Landon (lauralandon) | 55 comments Oh, Good!!! Enjoy!


message 37: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments I agree, Jenny; I think the second half was better, it picked up for me.


message 38: by Midu (new)

Midu Hadi | 1693 comments LK, where are we doing the buddy read thing? Wanted to invite Jyl22075 for it but can't locate the thread.


message 39: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments It is in TMF!, Midu: "buddy read" for Lover Eternal.


message 40: by Midu (new)

Midu Hadi | 1693 comments Thanks, LK! Well, Jyl22075? Would you like to join us for a buddy read of book 2?


message 41: by Midu (new)

Midu Hadi | 1693 comments Sure, let us know, using the link LK posted in #45.


message 42: by Midu (new)

Midu Hadi | 1693 comments :-)


message 43: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments I think a "buddy read" helps when you either really are struggling with a book. However, it is more fun when you really love a book, too!


message 44: by Midu (new)

Midu Hadi | 1693 comments LK, do you try a lot of new authors? Indie ones esp?


message 45: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Not a lot. Why? I bet you do.


message 46: by Midu (new)

Midu Hadi | 1693 comments Yeah, I like that new authors can get readers to sample their work. I plan to be one someday. :-)


message 47: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments I'd love to be one too. Nobody likes my heroines though; too Mary Sue, LOL! Good luck to us both!!


message 48: by Midu (new)

Midu Hadi | 1693 comments hehehe hey we liked Rhapsody and she's one big chunk of Mary Sueness, right?


message 49: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments I like her; but, then, I like most heroines when others don't.


message 50: by Midu (new)

Midu Hadi | 1693 comments ooh watching Knight and Day! Loved the movie!
