I've really started getting into adult contemporary reads so I just can't stop purchasing them at the moment. There's fun, quick and hot reads and I love them! Lol. Her Perfect Getaway was one I finished this morning and really liked it =) If anyone has any recommendations, I'd love to hear them.
A huge thank you to Mira, Random House, Kindle Fever!!
Jess's Showcase!!!
New Girl by Paige Harbison
Looking forward to this! I know the story of 'Rebecca' very well and I enjoyed the mystery behind it. So I look forward to reading this. Thank you MIRA Ink for allowing me to review this.
Bought:
Black Dawn (The Morganville Vampires #12) by Rachel Caine
Fifty Shades Darker (Fifty Shades #2) by E. L. James
Fifty Shades Freed (Fifty Shades #3) by E. L. James
I've already read the Fifty Shades Trilogy and loved it. I just really wanted the finished copies! And I got them! Looking forward to Black Dawn. I have yet to finish Ghost Town and start Last Breath, but it's nice to know I won't need to wait so long to pick this one up.

I've suddenly come to reading a lot of Erotica as you know. (Thank you Fifty!). But some of the newest additions I've started to read are Male/Male erotica. I'm sorry if this touches your ICK factor as I know it isn't always to peoples tastes. But I enjoyed them. They're actually really well written. I recently read The 51st Thursday and Scrap Metal and they were fabulous! They are short stories, and I intend to read more very soon.
If you are interested in reading m/m romances, you can read my very SHORT reviews for The 51st Thursday and Scrap Metal on my Goodreads account:
The 51st Thursday by Mercy Celeste
Scrap Metal by Harper Fox
That's it from me this week! I hope there are books in there that intrigue you and get added to your ever growing TBR lists.

Awesome, awesome book, ladies! I'm desperately awaiting the arrival of my paperback copy of SWEET EVIL (sometimes the shipping to Germany seriously sucks) and really hope to get to read NEW GIRL and HUNTING LILA soon. Happy reading! :)
I surprisingly didn't like the Fallen series that much! But I need to get into the Iron Fey series - I've only read the first one!

I also read the Fifty books first as ebooks and now I bought them as print versions. Sometimes you just have to have two versions of the same book. :)
Great books this week - I love the Iron Fey series! I want to read Sweet Evil, 50 Shades, Black Dawn, and any of Lauren Kate's books - I've heard she is a great author!
