Y...So interesting that you love a Southern setting! You're waaay up north, right? Have you ever lived in/been to the South? I really like Abbi Glines. TBH, it's not like the writing is fabulous or anything, but I consider most of her books super-addictive brain candy. Absolutely wrong with that, either! I loved the Vincent Boys duology and I'm one book shy from finishing the Rosemary Beach series. And then I'll dive into the Sea Breeze series. I know they're nothing great but I don't care - I am hooked on those characters (Rosemary Beach) and I gobble up those books like potato chips. LOL I just read Until Friday night a few weeks ago and I liked it a lot but had a couple issues with it. Still, I'm excited for the next book (just 3 days to go!) and I'll definitely being buying it. <br /><br />Now the Rusk University series is another story. I *love* that series! I saw when you added them on GR but I didn't realize it was because of me. :) I am sooo excited for you to read those! I swear I just want Cora Carmack to publish a book a week for that series and I would keep on reading them. LOL I've loved all three so far and it's hard to pick a favorite couple/guy. I sometimes lean toward Carson and Dallas (book #1) but I admit I really have a thing for Silas (book #2). #SilasVirus Can't wait to see what you think when you get around to them!Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-49926439274309237272016-08-20T06:30:53.648-04:002016-08-20T06:30:53.648-04:00I haven't read many books set in the South, so...I haven't read many books set in the South, so thank you for putting this list together!

But even so, I have to say I didn't love Until Friday Night. I liked it well enough and I'm looking forward to the second book releasing next week... but I definitely had some issues with UFN. And I'm still laughing at GA being too southern-y. My new favorite word.
