One of my new years resolutions has been to read more. My goal for the year was 12 book, but in
January I read seven. This is extremely
odd since it has taken me over a year to get half way through Gone With the
Wind and I have no plans on finishing it anytime soon.
I like Fifty Shades of Grey type books, romantic, passionate, makes you curl
your toes type books. I have been on the
hunt to find a couple who I can adore as much as I do Christian and Ana. I’ve had some hits and some misses.
Beautiful Disaster
by Jamie McGuire
Absolutely loved this book!
It is great for a beach read.
This story is told from the POV of the female lead. In the spring, the author is releasing the
same story from the male leads POV. I
can’t wait to read it.

Bared to You &
Reflected in You by Silvia Day
This and Reflected in You might be my favorites books read
in January. The stories remind me
exactly of Fifty Shades so that is why I loved it. The third book of this series comes out this
spring as well. I can’t wait to see what
happens next for this couple.

Hopeless by
Colleen Hoover
I enjoyed this story.
It is more of a high school/college type of love story, but it was
entertaining.
Rating: B
Slammed by Colleen
Hoover
This book was just okay.
I thought the premise was cute and I enjoyed the character development,
but it wasn’t a page turner like I had hoped.

Point of Retreat
by Colleen Hoover
This is the sequel to Slammed. I wanted to see what happened next to the characters,
but I also felt like it fell short.

Gabriel’s Inferno
by Sylvain Reynard
When I first started reading this book I hated it. I was thinking how is the author going to
make me like the male lead? Well, she
did and I am about a third of the way through with the second book, Gabriel’s Rapture.

Please, please, please let me know if you have any
suggestions. I read of Perez Hilton a
new, Fifty type of book comes out
this week called, Beautiful Bastard. What is with that title?! But of course I will read it.
