Well again that's what they did call her, Jamie.

I wanna buy this. It sounds good, and the covers are pretty.

Quote:

She can forgive, but can she forget?

Some days, Everly still thinks she sees him. In the food court at the mall, or in a car speeding past as the light changes. It only lasts a second, but when it happens, she slips back to a time when she was ruled-and nearly ruined-by August Kincaid. And it doesn't matter that she's moved on, that she's about to marry another man. In those moments the only thing she can do to regain control is take a deep breath and remind herself that August can't hurt her-because he's in a coma. Except that he's not anymore.

August is awake. With no memories, he sets out to solve the mystery of his lost life. He unearths a photograph of a beautiful redhead named Everly and knows instinctively that she's the key. But when he finds her, the August she describes is more monster than man.

Tortured by the thought of having hurt her, August wants only to become the man Everly deserves. As the new August emerges, Everly glimpses the person she first fell in love with. But can she trust that this August is real? When the final secret of their shared past is revealed, one of them will make a choice that changes their future forever . . .

That does sound good.

Has anyone noticed that in NA there's a lot of uncommon names?

Stay to the Lights · 11-16-2016, 05:44 AM

That's true, most characters name aren't normal, but different.

I've been reading Emma Chase's Legal Briefs series recently. I really love it. Possibly more than Tangled

Because of The Off Campus series and probably because it's hockey season, I've been wanting to read more hockey romance books.

I was on Pinterest and searched hockey and one of the tags that pop up at top was girlfriend so I was looking at those. And I didn't realized the term in the off campus series puck bunnies wasn't made up in that series. There were memes using that term plus it showed up in the hockey romance book I just read.

Stay to the Lights · 01-06-2017, 07:36 AM

Oh interesting, I didn't realise it was a term either.

Rebel Hearts · 01-06-2017, 11:08 AM

I'm not a hockey person but I was aware of the term before reading. Every sport has their groupies. Though I think hockey is the only one I've heard a name for the groupies.

Drunk On You · 01-06-2017, 06:50 PM

I assume every sports has groupies kind of neat that hockey has it's own term fro them. And it kind of works too.

Stay to the Lights · 01-07-2017, 06:51 AM

Yeah, it is cool they have their own term.

Rebel Hearts · 01-11-2017, 02:49 PM

Yeah it is

Recently read this. It's a standalone series with all the couples intertwined somehow. I've only read the first book in the series (Price Of A Kiss) but I really wanted to read this one so I skipped all the way to book #8

Quote:

Three things in my life were fact.
I needed Sarah to survive.
I needed sex to remain sane.
And I could never mix sex with Sarah.

I just knew—deep in my marrow—that if I did, I’d somehow lose her. All my deepest darkest secrets would crack open, bleed out, and ruin everything between us. I wouldn’t unleash the **** inside me on my worst enemy, let alone her. So she stayed strictly in the friend zone.

People probably thought I never went there with her because of her cerebral palsy, but ***** them. She knew she was the most important person in my world, and I wasn’t about to risk hurting our relationship just to make my c*ck happy.

Until the moment she begged me to take her virginity.
Now it’s all about to hit the fan, because how the hell do you resist the one person forbidden to you when she says please?

I probably wouldn't read it.

Rebel Hearts · 01-19-2017, 07:24 PM

Anyone read The Hating Game by Sally Thorne? It's been getting a lot of good reviews. I already have it on my Kindle but haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

Drunk On You · 01-20-2017, 11:30 PM

Havent heard of it.

Quote:

Nemesis (n.)
1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome;
2) A person’s undoing;
3) Joshua Templeman.

Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman hate each other. Not dislike. Not begrudgingly tolerate. Hate. And they have no problem displaying their feelings through a series of ritualistic passive aggressive maneuvers as they sit across from each other, executive assistants to co-CEOs of a publishing company. Lucy can’t understand Joshua’s joyless, uptight, meticulous approach to his job. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy’s overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and Pollyanna attitude.

Now up for the same promotion, their battle of wills has come to a head and Lucy refuses to back down when their latest game could cost her her dream job…But the tension between Lucy and Joshua has also reached its boiling point, and Lucy is discovering that maybe she doesn’t hate Joshua. And maybe, he doesn’t hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game.
