Somehow Jen and I, and about 15 others, got caught up in a giant never-ending thread on Twitter. I think it started with comfort reads -- or was it favorite male virgins? I can't even recall at this point. But it moved into a Kleypas-fan-thread then historical butt stuff and then ideas for a erotica story and . . . I just don't even know. I mean, you'd have to be there to understand how it went from A to D and back to B again. But it was super fun an it's one thing I love about Romance Twitter. :)
As to my reading week: I finished 3 books and enjoyed them all.
Want to quickly see what I read in June? Check out this thread!
As to my reading week: I finished 3 books and enjoyed them all.
What I Read:
4 Stars
✦ Basketball player about to retire (divorced, has kids)
✦ Tatts -- and the one he wants as his last tatt at the end? *swoon*
✦ Fashion photographer who wants to do more art (she’s diabetic)
✦ She has blue streaks in her hair, a few special tatts, and some piercings, including nipples
✦ Both are not great at relationships, which causes conflict/drama during their story
✦ Good tension and chemistry -- and I've give the sex a solid B for heat
✦ Also, that cover is so pretty
✦ Definitely plan on reading Williams again
If you want to try more from Williams, there's a box set of 4 books for only $0.99 right now!

Narrated by Ashford McNab
4 Stars
CW: Rape (including that of a child), incest, pedophilia
✦ Torture hero OMG ☹✦ He’s trying to infiltrate and destroy a group of monsters, rescues a widow from their clutches – then marries her to protect her
✦ Hot sex that’s not PIV
✦ They do eventually have PIV sex, and its hot, but honestly I thought the previous scenes were hotter ;)
✦ I did feel like the quick jump to him changing his mind about . . . things . . . at the end really didn't fit his character or the trauma he survived.
✦ But otherwise another great addition to the series.
5 Stars
✦ Comfort reread
✦ Set in Ireland
✦ She runs a Bed and Breakfast
✦ He’s a famous American mystery writer
✦ I always loved this heroine and her love of homemaking and whatnot
✦ I love this book because of what it's been to me over the years. But this series is not immune to problematic things. I can see them, I can acknowledge them, and I can be mad that they're in an otherwise great book. But these books are too dear to my heart for those things to ruin the book for me. We all have our problematic faves.
