My Weekly Reading Recap (9/16/12)

Due to a case of THE STUPID COLD THAT WILL NOT DIE AFTER 7 DAMN DAYS there will be no reading wrap-up this week.  I'll bundle the two very awesome books I read this week in with next week's wrap-up.  See ya then.

Weekly Reading Recap (9/9/12)

Whoops, I forgot another book last time.  Luckily, I tackled a large book this week so the quantity is less than usual.  Fun smut, far more man-on-man action than normal, and 80's craziness ensues...

The Best...

Feeling Hot - Elle Kennedy

So, remember when I got excited last week when I read an erotic short where two straight dudes didn't freak out about touching each other in a threesome situation?  Boy did this take that to another level.  An awesome level.

Perviness aside, this was a really great romance.  The two main characters are a Navy Seal just home from a long deployment and the sister of his C.O. who is dealing with a creepy stalker ex-boyfriend situation.  The two are great together.  They have great chemistry, get along well, and really compliment and support each other.  I didn't think the erotic bits were the least bit superfluous, but without them, this still would have been a very solid contemporary romance.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.

My Weekly Reading Recap: 9/2/12

An all e-book edition!  Woo.

Also, I didn't get the 8/26 recap done before leaving for a Labor Day weekend vacation extravaganza so this is a double-spectacular-bonus-edition.  Woo.

I'm done wooing now.  I promise.  Anyways...

The Best...

The Pirate Next Door - Jennifer Ashley

I usually don't care much for pirates.  Pirate-speak makes me want to stab someone.  Also, I find that "pirate" is often used as shorthand for "overbearing asshole who does whatever he wants."

None of that here.  What is here, though, is a sexy next door neighbor who has a really hard time buttoning his shirt up all of the way (hee), an exceptionally sensible and smart heroine, and lots of crafty pirate intrigue.  There's also some very fun shipboard sexytimes and lots and lots of unabashed pirate nudity.  Ah, pirate nudity.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book and plan to read lots more by Jennifer Ashley.
