I have heard of it. I plan on reading it

Drunk On You · 01-21-2017, 03:09 PM

Doesn't sound bad.

Rebel Hearts · 01-21-2017, 08:27 PM

Apparently it's really funny too. I've read some quotes of it and it did make me chuckle. So I think I'm gonna like it when I end up reading it

Stay to the Lights · 01-31-2017, 11:41 PM

Yeah. I've heard that too

She's an Australian author and going to be at this author event in September, so I've got to read it at some point

"The Hating Game" is funny and really sweet.

Stay to the Lights · 02-11-2017, 07:07 AM

I heard that

Read this one recently. Really loved it. Very sweet story

Quote:

Some men are born responsible, some men have responsibility thrust upon them. Henry John Edgar Thomas Pembrook, Prince of Wessco, just got the motherlode of all responsibility dumped in his regal lap.

He’s not handling it well.

Hoping to force her grandson to rise to the occasion, Queen Lenora goes on a much-needed safari holiday—and when the Queen’s away, the Prince will play. After a chance meeting with an American television producer, Henry finally makes a decision all on his own:

Welcome to Matched: Royal Edition.

A reality TV dating game show featuring twenty of the world's most beautiful blue bloods gathered in the same castle. Only one will win the diamond tiara, only one will capture the handsome prince’s heart.

While Henry revels in the sexy, raunchy antics of the contestants as they fight, literally, for his affection, it’s the quiet, bespectacled girl in the corner—with the voice of an angel and a body that would tempt a saint—who catches his eye.

The more Henry gets to know Sarah Mirabelle Zinnia Von Titebottum, the more enamored he becomes of her simple beauty, her strength, her kind spirit... and her naughty sense of humor.

But Rome wasn’t built in a day—and irresponsible royals aren’t reformed overnight.

As he endeavors to right his wrongs, old words take on whole new meanings for the dashing Prince. Words like, Duty, Honor and most of all—Love.

Interesting.

I don't care for the whole dating show concept. Although I didn't mind The Selection.

Stay to the Lights · 02-28-2017, 04:56 PM

That does sound like fun.

It actually wasn't that much in the story. I mean there's little scenes here and there but the book mainly focuses on Henry and Sarah. The Selection was definitely more involved in the dating show thing.

I gotta get to that series.

Rebel Hearts · 03-03-2017, 08:48 PM

It's a good one

The last NA book I read was this:

Quote:

After getting dumped, the last thing I needed was to move next door to someone who reminded me of my ex-boyfriend, Elec.

Damien was a hotter version of my ex.

The neighbor I’d dubbed “Angry Artist” also had two massive dogs that kept me up with their barking.

He wanted nothing to do with me. Or so I thought until one night I heard laughter coming through an apparent hole in my bedroom wall.

Damien had been listening to all of my phone sessions with my therapist.

The sexy artist next door now knew all of my deepest secrets and insecurities.

We got to talking.

He set me straight with tips to get over my breakup.

He became a good friend, but Damien made it clear that he couldn’t be anything more.

Problem was, I was falling hard for him anyway. And as much as he pushed me away, I knew he felt the same…because his heartbeat didn’t lie.

I thought my heart had been broken by Elec, but it was alive and beating harder than ever for Damien.

I just hoped he wouldn’t shatter it for good.

That goes sound good. And the cover is hot.

It was great! I loved it.

It sure is
