October Reading Challenge Update

Reading Update:

Today is November 9, 2013.
I have read 50 books toward my goal of 60 for 2013. I’m behind but 1-Click is going to get me in trouble.

October was supposed to be the scary book month, but yup I’m a rebel so………. here is what I completed the month with.

Currently Reading:

I’ve been reading novel, after novel, after novel…..lol. However, here is what is occupying my spare time this week:

Aversion (Book One of The Mentalist Series) by Kenechi Udogu— For Gemma Green’s first time, things should have been straightforward. Find your subject, hold their gaze and push a thought into their head to save them from future disaster – Aversion complete.

The Boss  by Abigail Barnette— I downloaded it to my kindle to read later and 44% later I can’t put it down. What can I say!!!?? This book has caught my attention and has some surprising things happening that I just didn’t expect, but in a literary good way. So place this on your TBR list but one-click it now……it’s currently only $.99.

Blurb: Sophie Scaife almost ran away once, trading her ticket to college for a ticket to Tokyo. But a delayed flight and a hot one-night stand with a stranger changed her mind, putting her firmly on track to a coveted position at a New York fashion magazine.

When the irresistible stranger from that one incredible night turns out to be her new boss – billionaire and publishing magnate Neil Elwood – Sophie can’t resist the chance to rekindle the spark between them… and the opportunity to explore her submissive side with the most Dominant man she’s ever known.

It’s Monday! What are you reading?

This Monday I’m in the middle of so many awesome books and many more on my TBR list! Here’s what’s occupying my currently reading shelf this week:

Reading Update:

Today is October 28, 2013.
I have read 48 books toward my goal of 60 for 2013. Now I’m a few books behind. :-( But I should be back on track soon.

September, I had a lot going on with a new job, moving and lots of other stuff but here is what I completed the month with.

Currently Reading:

I’ve been reading novel, after novel, after novel…..lol. On average I think I’ve been reading at least three books at a time. But, I have happily recruited new readers for some of the series I have posted reviews on. However, here is what is occupying my spare time this week:

Wanted (Wanted Series Book 1) by Amanda Lance — A romance, suspense novel where a young girl stumbles upon and witnesses a crime and thus is kidnapped as a precaution. “Considering she’s a girl who calculates everything, Addie Battes knew the statistical probability of being abducted in her lifetime–too bad she never analyzed the odds of falling in love with her captor…”. Just started but so far it’s interesting.

Aversion (Book One of The Mentalist Series) by Kenechi Udogu— Just started!

Upcoming Book Release: Treasure Your Love by J.C. Reed

OMG!!!!! I can’t wait. I’ve been waiting on the third book to be released for what seems like forever and now it’s almost here.

Teaser:

Jett unlocked the door and entered to switch off the silent alarm. I didn’t move from the spot until he peered out again with a quizzical look. “Are you coming?”
I shook my head. “I don’t feel comfortable with this. What if she finds out?”
“She won’t. She lives in Florida and asked me to personally take care of it.” He winked. “Which I will—literally.”
“We can’t. What if the neighbors see us?”
He pulled me inside and closed the door behind me. It closed with a loud bang. I regarded him, shocked by his boldness. Jett dropped the bag and turned to face me.
“Who says we can’t?” His eyes had that dangerous look I had first glimpsed the day we had sex on the beach. The one that always promised a sizzling time. The one that didn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. “First of all, we’re her realtors, Brooke, and it’s in her contract that we enter the house in her absence at our convenience. And second, what are you afraid of?” He raised my chin and his lips came so close I could feel his sexy breath as his voice dropped to a whisper, “After I win, I get to choose where and how I take you. What if I want it here? Will you deny me?”
His finger curled around the buttons on my business jacket as he opened them one by one. One button and then another until my thin blouse was exposed. “What if I told you that the only reason I brought you here is to have sex in the pool, on the beach, in the backyard, or on the pool table?”
“Thanks for your honesty. But it doesn’t matter, Jett, because you haven’t won yet.” It took me all my willpower to push his hand from under my blouse.
“Having you twenty-four hours just for myself sounds too tempting to let you win. You know that, right?”
“People who reach too far are the ones who fall from the greatest height.” My smile matched his cocky grin when all I wanted was to get this over and done with so we could have sex, anywhere, everywhere.
“Brilliant people like me never fall.”
