  5. Books as good as the Crossfire series

    in General Discussions and Introductions

    Posted

    Hi ladies!

     

    I'm really disappointed with the last KGI, After the Storm. I think this time Maya Banks rushed the love story too much. As she said it was her longest book to date, I was expecting something else, something more for Van's book. The story is ok in general, but the love story is an exaggeration of instalove. Really sad it went that way. I hope Swanny's book (When Day Breaks, KGI #9) due to June 24th will be better.

     

    On the other side, I really loved Samantha Young's Before Jamaica Lane (On Dublin Street #3), even if the plot has an important similarity in some aspect with Beautiful Player.

     

    Also, if you like the family stories like the With Me in Seattle series, I will recommend you The Alexanders series by M. Malone (a suggestion to GiGi's list ;)  ) The books and reading order are as follows, and there are more to come in the future:

     

    • Teasing Trent (The Alexanders, #0.5)

    • One More Day (The Alexanders, #1)

    • The Things I Do for You (The Alexanders, #2)

    • He's the Man (The Alexanders, #3)

    • Christmas With The Alexanders (The Alexanders, #3.5)

    • All I Need is You (The Alexanders, #4) TBR February. 14th 2014

     

    And talking about the With Me in Seattle series, I've seen the last book on the list is Breathe With Me (#7), but there's another one, Forever With Me (#8), that ends the series. It's Dominic and Alecia story.

     

     

    For Kristen Proby fans, she is releasing a new series, a trilogy this time, called Love Under the Big Sky, the books are:

     

    • Loving Cara (#1) TBR January, 21st 2014

    • Seducing Lauren (#2) TBR August, 19th 2014

    • Falling for Jillian (#3) TBR late 2014

     

     

    To the ones who love the KGI series, I've discover something the same style. It's the Hostile Operations Team series by Lynn Raye Harris.  First 3 stories were released in 2013, next 3 are expected this 2014:

     

    • Hot Pursuit (#1) [i don't know why, but I fell in love for a while with Captain Matt Girard :) ]

    • Hot Mess (#1.5)

    • Hot Package (#1.6) not published standalone, for now can be found as a novella on Hot, Sexy and Bad: A Holiday Collection

    • Dangerously Hot (#2) TBR spring 2014

    • Hot Shot (#3?) TBR summer 2014

    • Untitled (#4?) TBR late 2014 and problaby the final stand

     

    At least, the first 3 can be read as standalone books.

     

     

    And finally, to those who enjoyed the Stark Triolgy by J. Kenner, she has a new trilogy, the Most Wanted series. Each book is the story of one of three friends, "three enigmatic and powerful men, and the striking women who can bring them to their knees":

     

    • Wanted (#1) released January 7th

    • Heated (#2) TBR May, 13th 2014

    • Ignited (#3) TBR September, 2nd 2014

     

    I really enjoyed the first book, Evan Black and Angelina Raine story. Evan Black is introduced by J. Kenner on Take Me, the novella that gives closure to the Stark Trilogy (but not to the Stark universe, as on March 11th is expected Tame Me (Stark International #1), Jamie Archer and Ryan Hunter story).

     

     

    Well, a lot of suggestions to read while we wait for Captivated by You. If  I read something else or found out any other information I will let you know. Enough for today.

    Hi Gaia,

    All of those books are on the glorious and wonderful Master Book List lady!  :D

    Hi Sharonm and GiGi!

     

    Even BDSM is not my thing, after reading both your comments here about Kallypso Masters' Rescue Me series, I decided to give those books a try and I have really enjoyed them. Thank you ladies! Now I am another one waiting for Luke and Cassie story!

     

    By the way, did you know Kally is going to write a new series? It's gonna be a spinoff of the Rescue Me series, based on the Giardano brothers.  She said this new one will be "vanilla", but really really hot. Well, as all the Giardano brothers are firemen, I don't doubt it. ;)

     

    Again, thank you for your recommendations. 

    Hi Gaia,

    I think what makes Kallypso Masters' books work is the fact that the main point of her books isn't about the sex.  She has very screwed up characters that are trying to cope with their "inner demons" with various tools, that includes BDSM. 

     

    I am waiting patiently for the next release in print....sigh!  I can be patient, I can be patient...I can be patient...:)

     

    I am glad you enjoyed the books.  :)

    Hey GiGi,

     

       Somebody's Angel is out.  It is almost 400 pages (I love longer books because I read so fast).  The timeline is what happens with Marc & Angel starting around and and after the Aspen trip.  Masters uses an interesting technique because we see some of Damien & Savannah's and Adam & Karla's adventure from a different point of view.  The book fills in a lot of blanks while taking Marc and Angelina on a difficult journey.  I liked it and now I'm waiting again for Luke & Cassie to get to their HEA. 

     

    Next week Maya Banks next book in the KGI series is out.  She posted on her blog that this is her longest book to date.  As I said before, I like the longer books because we get more details.  Since Van is my favorite Kelly I can't wait for After the Storm.

    It does seem like I'm waiting a lot for the rest of the story. LOL

    Hi Sharon,

    I haven't read Somebody's Angel yet.  It hasn't been released in print yet, but I am waiting patiently.  :) 

     

    I have read Maya Bank's latest book and am eagerly await her next release in June.  Fingers crossed here that Swanny will get his happily ever after.  :)

    I wish I could post the whole book, so we could talk about it!! :)

    Hi Sylvia,

    Anytime you are ready, I will bring the dessert!  Fabulous books must always be discussed with dessert! Get ready to place your dessert request ladies, I will go warm up the oven!  I can hardly wait for the upcoming discussions!   :)

    Hi Everyone,
    I do my best to look at all of this waiting for the next upcoming book like being at a dinner party.  Thus far, we the ladies have met our lovely hostess (Sylvia Day...fabulous! :)).  We are mingling with one another and have been served refreshments;  Stoli Elite and Champagne of course.  ;)
     
    The hors d'oeuvres are in the process of being passed around (i.e. snippets, etc.) and we are busy chatting and waiting for the dinner to begin (i.e. the release of the next glorious book...sigh!  :)). 
     
    Thus far, I must say, that I have enjoyed myself at this fabulous event!  Now if someone could give those of us, who are not on the high speed Internet or don't have access to some of the high-speed Internet events, a little synopsis of what was discussed would be a most fabulous little extra bonus! :) 
     
    I know everything has been so tense lately, but I know that it will be all worth the wait if we can just hang on.  I am just trying to keep everything light and hope I have not upset anyone with this post.   :)

    Hi Fsumom,

    I forgot to mention in my previous posting, that I agree with you.  The use of a sex swing isn't necessarily a reference to a BDSM lifestyle.  It could be that Gideon is just a little kinky.  Now I guess we will have to wait and see just how kinky he is.  ;)

     

    Your previous comments about Gideon's need for control while in the bedroom are spot on.  Thanks.  :)

    Posted

    I think that Syliva mentioned early on that we would see the 'sex swing' again in upcoming books.  And I agree he needs control in the sex due his total loss of control as a child, but not necessarily BDSM as Christian practiced.  Another thing once he knew about Eva's own abuse he was very scared of pushing too hard or losing control with her.  I doubt he's too rough cause that info would would gossip fodder for sure amoung all his one-nighters.  As everyone else can't wait for the story to continue :)

    HI Fsumom,

    I have been thinking about the mentioning of Corinne touching her neck on several occasions.  Some of the forum members have speculated that she must have worn a "collar" or been "collared".  The act of a person touching his/her neck while in a discussion is also a very real subconscious reference to nervousness.  It would it coincide with a woman touching her hair, or tapping her foot or shaking her leg and such.  All of these responses are subconscious acts that one may use when he/she is nervous.
     
    I could see Corinne being entirely nervous when meeting Eva.  Eva managed to snag Gideon which is something that Corinne was never able to truly do.  Corinne got to see firsthand evidence of said fact, when the famous Gideon/Eva kissed was plastered all across the tabloids.  It is just a thought.  We will have to wait and see what Sylvia has to say.   :)
