A new Saturday post where you can share with us what you are currently (or just finished) reading and I will share my brief thoughts on books that I read during the previous week.
January 22nd - 28th:
Playing the Player by Amy Andrews
 |
| Kindle | NOOK | Kobo Goodreads |
Rating = 4 Stars
- Book 3, easily read as a standalone
- Set in Australia
- Rugby star
- High school teacher
- Both are young though -- 23, if I'm not mistaken, so NA-ish
- Fun
- Very sexy
- Shower fun
- Car scene
- Locker room shenanigans
- Will definitely read the previous 2 books
- Releases Jan 30th
Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh
 |
| Kindle | NOOK | Kobo Audio Goodreads |
Narrator: Angela Dawe
Narration Rating: 4 1/2 Stars
Rating: 4 1/2 Stars
- Love love love this series
- Fantastic on audio
- Must be read in order though!
- Slow burn between these two
- Loved that especially since Sienna is a bit younger (in age -- she's had enough shit in her life to make her more mature than most in their 30s)
- She's around 20 or 21, if I recall
- He's older but still, I think, just under 30
- She's Psy (and very powerful...); he's the alpha of the wolves
- Loved seeing Sascha and Lucas finally have their baby
- Loved seeing glimpses of other couples, too
- Loved the side story of Lara and Walker; wanted more of them, though
- What I love about this series is how deeply connected and complex it is
- Every story is as much about the couple as the overall plot moving forward, new twists, new info, etc.
Favorite quote:
“You’re in my every breath and every thought, intertwined so deep inside me that love’s not a strong enough word—you have my devotion, your name branded on my soul, my wolf yours to command. A hundred years? It’ll never be enough. I want eternity.”
Us by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy

| Kindle | NOOK | Kobo Goodreads |
Rating = 4 1/2 Stars
- Bi hero + gay hero
- Hockey players
- New adult age (around 23-ish)
- Friends-to-lovers
- Continuation of their story from HIM; must both be read, and in order
- Relationship angst and some personal issues
- Emotional
- BUT also some great fun parts
- Especially from Blake (his book, M/F, comes out Tues!)
- Also hot as hell
- Highly recommend; I read HIM via Audio last year and it's fantastic that way
- Both HIM and US are still on sale for $0.99 each!
I shared quite a few quotes on Twitter.
Favorite quote:
The way I feel about Ryan Wesley…it’s something I thought existed only in the movies. He’s my other half. We complement each other in more ways than I can count. When he’s in the same room, I’m focused on him, and when he’s gone I walk around missing him. There’s an old quote my mother once painted on a ceramic platter. Love is friendship set on fire. I get it now.
