What have been your favorites so far this year?
2013 has been a really great year thus far :) I hope the 2nd half lives up to the first!
Some of my faves definitely overlap with you ladies.
Loved Beyond Control, Written in Red, Heart of Obsidian, Night Blade :D
Some other favorites:
Binding the Shadows by Jenn Bennett
Fortress Frontier by Myke Cole
After Hours by Cara Mckenna
It Happened One Midnight by Julie Anne Long
Splintered by A.G. Howard
Crazy Thing Called Love by Molly O’Keefe
How to Misbehave by Ruthie Knox
Winter Blaze by Kristen Callihan
Knox and Callihan, and McKenna always favorites. I should try Jenn Bennett – I think Tori likes her stuff.
At this point I think Heart of Obsidian is almost a given.
Also enjoyed Neanderthal Seeks Human, both JC Daniels books and right now I am into Darynda Jones’s Charley Davidson series.
I will have to say that looking at this year so far it really has been about discovering the NA/YA genres for me. Wait for You, The Secret of Ella and Micha, The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden (wondering if I can handle the angst of the sequel), and Easy are just a few titles. Even the harlequin teen books have some good titles, nothing like the silhouette teen books of my long ago youth.
I’ve discovered NA too…Easy was amazing as was Pushing the Limits.
The angst in Redemption of Callie and Kayden is so good. I LOVE an angsty book….I think you will like
Hmmmm… We don’t share any books really… Here are my favorites so far…
By Private Invitation by Stephanie Julian
Night Blade by JC Daniels
Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep
Lover At Last by JR Ward
Tethered (novella) by Meljean Brook
My Wicked Nanny by Ann Mayburn
Heart of Iron by Bec McMaster
The Cursed by Alyssa Day
Witch’s Handbook of Kisses and Curses by Molly Harper
I am reading Magic Bites now, and I have a feeling it will be on the list. I also have some big titles coming up to read this summer!

Collide(Book 1) and Pulse(Book 2) by Gail McHugh
Reaper’s Property by Joanna Wylde

I LOVE everything K Ashley. And Tori liked Driven – I still need to pick that one up.
Looking forward to the next Joanna Wylde book. She just released the cover and it’s awesome
You guys have pretty much picked all my favs so far this year. I’d add Lover At Last by J.R. Ward and MacRieve by Kresley Cole. Fun topic :)
QHUAY. I did love them
Great lists ladies! I totally agree with Heart of Obsidian and of course Written in Red. I have read it 5 times already, and it keeps itching to start it again.
I NEED to read Written in Red.
Touch and Geaux – well, all the books as I read them one after another x
Beyond Control – oh yes Dallas!!
And The Captive Prince – just so different and compelling.
It has been happy reading :)
PS Have just read The Mourning After by Adriane Leigh. V Angsty. Nice beach house setting and sexy, intense hero. Sequel coming …
Ooooooh…I haven’t heard of The Mourning After but the blurb really appeals to me…
