My June Reads

Okay as you can see i have a serious reading slump. I can't even say what happened. Not that all the books were bad but I kind of have to force myself to read at the moment. Bummer. I loved some of these books but still they didn't save me from this. I don't even want to think about next month and my exams. O_o
But I will stop to complain now and here is my short June Read list:

1. Edge of Moonlight (Lucani Lovers, #3) by Stephanie Julian 

This book was wonderful. A thrilling plot with a spicy romance. Kaine and John are my favorite couple in this series now but I'm open to change my mind when the next book comes out. Highly recommended read. (You can read my full review here) 
 

2. Magic on the Storm (Allie Beckstrom, #4) by Devon Monk 

This one started exactly the way I wanted it. I loved to see Alli and Zay interact but it kind of got all UF on me. I know this series is urban fantasy but man I didn't like the end at all. In the middle I wasn't really gripped by the action and the plot. Perhaps it is cuz of my reading slump.  Still want book 5 really bad though.
 

3. Shades of Midnight (Midnight Breed, #7) by Lara Adrian 

I had this book at home since January but never found the time to start it. When I got the news of meeting Lara I knew I had to read the book before so I finally started it. I enjoyed the book. I really like the hero and the heroine but something was missing. Perhaps I compared it too much to Rio's book. I still really like this series and I can't wait for the next one.
 

4. Exit Light by Megan Hart

I so adore this book. It again broke my heart but I loved every second of it. A wonderful book about dreams, reality and how to see the difference, if there is one in this world. I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel. (You can read my whole rave here)
 

5. Reason Enough by Megan Hart 

To buy this book was a huge fiasco. I bought it at booksamillion (don't ask me why- probably cuz there were like 3 stores listed on Megan Harts blog and I just clicked on one). BIG mistake. It took them over 48 hours to get the book to me. In that time I already bought it a second time somewhere else. Huge FAIL. 

But the book was worth the hassel. It's a sequel to Dirty and I enjoyed to see Dan and Elle again. It was wonderful to see them together and how life treated them. Wonderful. And you know how much I usually love novellas. *LOVES* 
 

6. White Wedding by Megan Hart 4

I bought this one ages ago and discovered it while I wanted a Megan Hart fix and didn't get Reason enough. I enjoyed Josie's and Jack's story. Sweet, hot and entertaining. The overall plot was a bit predictable but enjoyed the book nonetheless.
 

7. Damned and Desired by Kathy Kulig (DNF)

I really tried to like this book but I just couldn't read more than the first half. It had too much smex and not enough story for me. I felt lost between all the characters and the world in general was kind of weird, too. Perhaps I will try again later cuz I read in another review that second half is really good but this month I just couldn't take any more.

So that's what I read. What did you read in June? Any books I should check out to get my reading mojo back?

My November Reads

November was a real good month in the reading department. I read 11 books while still studying and working. YAY me!!!! And even better I wrote 8 reviews and made a few beautifying changes on the blog. I started  my new Blog Feature My Geeky Desires and I'm really happy with the resonance. I would have never thought that other people would enjoy these things as much as I do. But I'm babbling, so back to the books. Here's what I read:
 
1. Indiscreet by Carolyn Jewel

My first historical ever and it blow me away. I loved the setting in Turkey. Everything seemed so real and instantly felt transported in this time and place. The characters are just wonderful, everyone in his or her own unique way.
Very funny and emotional read. I recommend this one to everyone who loves romance!
My full review is here.






2. Skin Game (Skin Series #1) by Ava Gray

Wow this one was sooo good. It gripped me right at the beginning and I couldn't stop reading. Everyone should read this one. Don't believe me? Look at all these wonderful reviews it got:
- Smokinhotbooks: 5 out of 5 Smokin Smooches
- Monkey Bear Reviews: Grad: B+
- Pearl's World of Romance: Rating 9.3 out of 10
- Leontine's Book Realm: 4 out of 5 stars
- Stacy's Place on Earth: 5 out of 5 stars
- Fiction Vixen: 5 out of 5 hearts




3. Magic in the Shadows(Alli Beckstrom Series #3) by Devon Monk


This one really rocked my world. It went directly into my keeper shelf and is now on the first spot for re-reading! So funny and just perfect! Got a little post-it apocalypse in that one but it was so worth it. Love it!
My full review of this book is here.







4. Bound to Shadows (Riley Jenson Guardian #8) by Keri Arthur


This was my first requested review ever and yeah it's kind of my own fault that I now want to read the first 7 books in this series. Great book with witty and funny characters and one of the nastiest bad guys ever! The world Ms. Arthur created around Riley Jenson is intriguing to say the least. I'm a sucker for shifters and this books has them and even better the sexy vampires are included too.
You can find my full review here.





5. Hunter's Need (Hunters #10) by Shiloh Walker


I won this book in a twitter contest and after reading it I wonder how could I have lived without taking notice of this series? Loved the story and the characters. Very emotional read and a real struggling journey to the HEA.  The world of the Hunters is something I have to read about again.

6. Beth's Acceptance (Destiny's Trinities #1) by Teal Ceagh


A real fast and sexy read set in a creative paranormal world.

Steamy and hawt scenes between the sheets with the right amount of m/f/m action. My full review is here.
Enjoyed this one and already read book 2 Mia's Return. The review
will be up tomorrow and Teal Ceagh will come over for a guest post on Dec 5th. So stay tuned for the fun!

7. Deep Kiss of Winter by Kresley Cole & Gena Showalter


 Thanks to Mandi from Smexybooks I had the opportunity to read this one and wow it was sooo good. Best sex scene without touching ever. I adore Kresley story, it was just perfect- funny, sexy and thrilling. Gena's was good too but I kind of expected more. She spoiled me with Devyn's story(Seduce the Darkness- Alien Huntress #4). Review to come.

8. Gobsmacked (Men of Smithfield #1) by L.B. Gregg

 

 

Another first this month and again pimped by Mandi(isn't she evil). Gobsmacked was my first m/m romance and I really enjoyed it. Who would have thought that? This book is very emotional and I was really surprised how real all of it seemed. And it was sooo hot! Loved it and it will definitely not be my last in this genre. Review to come(oh man I'm so behind again in reviewing).





9. Blaze of Memory (Psy-Changeling #7) by Nalini Singh


I'm so hooked on this series. I love the world Ms. Singh created- wonderful thoughtful and also meaningful. As I mentioned I'm a sucker for shifters and this series is full of them. Unfortunately not so much in this book but the story was so heart wrenching wonderful that I nearly don't mind. Loved the plot and the characters but I will review this one too soon.






10. Mia's Return (Destiny's Trinities #2) by Teal Ceagh

Book 2 in this series and as the first one a fast entertaining read with really hot and steamy m/f/m action in the mix.

Full review will be up tomorrow and don't forget  Teal's guest post on Saturday.








11. Tempt me with Darkness (Doomsday Brethren #1) by Shayla Black


My first book by this author and definitely not the last. Love the way Ms. Black writes and OMG I want my own immortal 1500 year old warrior in my bed…ahem…I'm mean life. *innocent grin* A wonderful world of magic with a gripping plot. A great paranormal romance and a fantastic start for this series. Full review to come.
