SY, I'm voting with you on this one. And yes, I think it's definitely the hair. And I haven't read it - probably because of that. From what I've read, I'm missing out. It's probably one of those that I'll have to make myself read.

Ditto and ditto!  And I really enjoyed Easy--gave it 4 out of 5 stars.  It's been awhile so I can't remember why I docked the one star

Now, for The Lonely--I thought it was FANTASTIC, disturbing but fantastic.  Some people left reviews that it seemed like 2 different stories, but I didn't see it that way at all.  Makes me think that they didn't actually read the entire book, because if they had, the would have seen how everything came together by the end of the book.  Anyway, it's twisted, so be warned, but I still loved it! 

ETA:  Oh, and I also loved the messed-up hero (I think the next book will be about him from his POV from what Tara Brown wrote in the GR blurb):

Don't forget to check out the companion novel due out in the summer of 2013, The Lost Boy.

Melissa I have gotta agree with you on the sequel crap. I HATE cliffhangers with a passion and IMO they only belong in Urban Fantasy series where the story line continues..lol That is the ONE thing I hate about alot of the new romances coming out lately is that they are spreading them out into a series and I can't stand that. I like my romance wrapped up into a nice HEA at the end of the book and then the next book be about a different couple..lol

I also love the guy on the Easy cover!! His hair makes me want to run my fingers through it..lol

I am going to leave the poll up until tomorrow so go vote if you haven't already. Raid & House Rules are winning. I will also be posting buddies in a little while but you still have until tomorrow to get your list in. If you want to go ahead and pick your buddies books I would probably get in touch with them and let them know that way they don't edit their lists until after you pick. I will pick the Secret books after everyone has picked their buddies books that way I don't pick the same ones. If anyone has any questions about anything feel free to ask!!

Ok here are the Buddies List. This was a very hard list to make..lol I looked at lists and what genres you posted. Since their are 19 of us I don't have a buddy so if someone would like to volunteer to pick my books that would be great. I read New Adult, PNR/UF, Romance & Erotic. I will also need someone to pick my secret books after that and come up with clues for me. It can be two different people or the same person.
