Umm. Everything? Not including rereads, I read 6 books. 5 were A ratings and only 1 was a B rating. EVERYTHING IS A FAVORITE!
- Making It Last by Ruthie Knox: my new favorite Ruthie Knox book that explores Amber & Tony 14 years after we read about them in How to Misbehave when they fell in love. 10 years into their marriage and they hit a bump of sorts and need to evaluate things. Guh. So good.
- Yours Until Dawn by Teresa Medeiros: thank god Sharon brought this book to my life because it was SO GOOD.
- Anatomy of a Boyfriend & Anatomy of a Single Girl by Daria Snadowsky: these two are quick, funny reads but they're so honest and realistic. I love that combo. Realistic doesn't have to = sadness, death & grief. I cannot recommend these two books enough!
- A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant: I read this based on Ruthie Knox's recommendation and guh. New favorite historical romance? YES. It's spectacular and rather different than most historical romances. Trust me and READ it.
- Where I End and You Begin by Andra Brynn: this book took me surprised. I bought it on a whim when I couldn't fall asleep, I only read the summary and no reviews and it ended up blowing me away. Go ahead and but it. It's only 99cents right now. Do it. I'm telling you, it's worth it!
02. Dark Lover by J.R. Ward

Sharon's June favorites:
- Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward. Although I enjoyed the first two books in the series, this one completely blew me away. I was waiting for Z's book from the moment we were introduced to him, and it most definitely did not disappoint!
- Yours Until Dawn by Teresa Medeiros. This book was so good! I loved so many things about it. You can see our thoughts in our group discussion with Alexa.
- It Happened One Midnight by Julie Anne Long. I have such a huge love affair going with this series. Unfortunately, Long has set the bar extremely high with her last two installments, especially. I try not to have high expectations, but I fail. Fortunately, Ms. Long has done it again. My review of this one goes live tomorrow, so I won't ramble too long. But it was stunning! If you love witty banter, pick this one up ASAP.
