Movie: There Will Be Blood

Book 1 in the series and I was HOOKED! This is so different from the Black Dagger Brotherhood which I‘m admittedly tired of to be honest. Romance, suspense and a cast of characters that rival Dallas for drama. #romantsy #kentucky #readtheusa

Yes, another #bookhaul stopped at b&n on our way to bookgroup tonight. Could not resist these guys.

So I didn‘t dislike the story but the narrator was HORRIBLE. Can‘t decide if it‘s worth it to read the next book in the series. Anyone read them and can help me decide whether to keep going? Maybe I can find it recorded by someone else.... 🧐

This is more a 3.5 star review. I was both happy and sad with this book. Sad, because unlike with the BDB, I wasn't instantly sucked into the story line. It took me a long time to get into the story and really feel apart of it. That said, the characters were intriguing and definitely full of emotion that I could feel. I hope that the next book in Ward's Bourbon Kings series is easier to get into.

My youngest has a pre-op appointment today so I'm hanging with @jrwardauthor while we wait for the doctor to come in. #preops #uncchildrenshospital #craniofacialawareness #fistulasurgery #blessedmama #blogger #reviewer #booksofinstagram #instabooks #ilovereading #ilovebooks #currentlyreading

That moment when you walk into the Dollar Store and find book gold! They never have decent books in our little store so I was so pumped to find these today!!! #dollarstorebookhaul

Wish I was reading it in English😬

1.My husband commissioned my favorite artists to paint it for me. Note the books, mermaids, coffee, shipwreck, and skulls ❤️ 2. 100 books on goodreads and #litsyatoz 3. I wear both. 4. Mountains. 5. There are so many BUT I think I am most excited about Ink and Bone!

Like Dallas only it's bourbon not oil and it's Easterly and not Southfork.

Picked up "The Devil's Cut" today. Since it's been a while I think I'll reread the first two. #jrward #thebourbonkings

Ms. Ward still got it. A completely different world, and a completely different set of characters, but it sucked me in just the same. The intimate stuff was steamy, the intrigue is twisted and dark, and the setting is grand and imposing. Dark romance done right. I will be on the look out for more. #doneintwodays #JRWard #romance 4.5/5⭐

Took a short trip to the library with my dear friend @ladylionbot yesterday. Although I have a mountain at home, and am still working through #GOT, I could not leave without a book. J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood was a guilty pleasure, so I am giving this series a shot. The other one just sounded fascinating. #bookhaul #librarytrip #TBR 😊😁📚

Felt like I was reading a soap opera. Don't mind me as a kick back with my popcorn and watch all the drama unfold.

And the shit hath officially hit the fan 😱🤔

Audiobooking while I do some housework. This narrator is a hoot!!

It took me a while to get in to this book, and I was underwhelmed when I finished it today. I have read Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series, so I am familiar with her style, but I think for some reason it works better in the fantasy world of vampire badasses. This felt like Dallas, but set in Kentucky with bourbon and horse racing. Annoying southern cliches, but I guess I care enough about the mystery to continue the series. 😜

⭐️⭐️1/2

Up super early on a Sunday morning and everyone else is still asleep so reading this one for Kentucky for the #unitedstatesofbooks

And now for something lighter!

This is not my typical genre AT ALL but it has a local setting (even though it's supposed to be fictional) and it was such an easy read. Rich, "southern" family and all their fucked-up deliciousness, mingled with murder, money embezzling, forbidden poorly timed love chances, and biting sarcastic wit from the writer.

"Much later, when everything had changed and he was living a life he couldn't have imagined on any level, he would come to recognize...that this moment, ..... was when he began to truly heal: For a brief instant, a split second, a single breath, his pilot light flickered on."

"I'm afraid your father is no better husband than you are."

Oh snap!

Took a break for dinner. It was Twitter approved 🙄🙄🙄. #crazyCat. #sheISboss #catsOfLitsy

Sire. Hahahahaha. I like her style of writing where she gives you just enough to be curious and want to know what is going on but dishes it out to you in little morsels.

I think I need a break from the supernatural. Dark Tower is hard to get into. Let's try some Southern fiction by a local writer.

Perfect day for keeping warm with a blanket, old dog, and a good book.

I enjoyed this novel. It was fun. Dramatic. Gripping, even. I breezed through it, unable to put it down. But even as I was sucked in by the glamour and the darkness, there was so much frustration. The characters reacted, reacted, reacted, instead of thinking, and they seemed to refuse to communicate with each other. Most of the proverbial shit hitting the fan could have been averted had they simply opened their mouths. BUT, as I said, it's fun.

What an amazing read!!! I love J.R. Wards BDB series and this is right at the top of my list. It's page turning action and adventure.. few books make me yell at characters with such anger this one did. I am totally invested in the characters and how the rest of the story will play out! Can't wait to get the next book!!

I love her BDB series... figured I'd finally give in and try this one. Hope I like it

This book has all the problems that a lot of romance novels have: static stock characters, borderline obsession/stalking described as love, far-fetched drama, predictable plot etc. But this fast paced book was exactly what I needed to read and I am interested in the sequel. Guilty pleasure worthy.

Meal prep and Romance for lunch today.

I was in the mood for a candy bar when I picked this book up at Target today. What I got was more disappointing. Egg custard disappointing. You know the type, looks good, smells delicious, but the texture is just not right. So it is with this book, JR Ward has written some good candy bars, the kind you hoard and pull out at midnight, knowing you need to sleep. This is not one of them.

Kind of like a soap opera. An insane amount of things happen over the course of a few days. Still, fun as pure escape. I liked it well enough that I plan to get around to book 2 one of these days.

Decided it was time to read this, seeing as the second book is out now.

I only got maybe 1/4 of the way through this. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series is a guilty pleasure of mine so I thought I'd try this one out. It got really gross and awful. But it's about a rich southern family so I don't know why I was surprised.

So far this book is addictive ❤️.....

Dysfunctional epic family soap opera aka Dallas & Dynasty. Full of people you can love to hate.

JR Ward can do no wrong! BDB is my all time favorite series, no question, so I knew that I'd probably love this series just as much. It was perfection - the setting, the characters (I'm obsessed with Gin), the drama. It was everything I want in a book. Can't wait for the next one.
