I don't see Crownover ever becoming a favorite author of mine but when I'm looking for some mindless entertainment these fit the bill. :)Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-89488553860183817522017-01-20T10:49:58.425-05:002017-01-20T10:49:58.425-05:00I'm definitely finding that Crownover has a ce...I'm definitely finding that Crownover has a certain style. Sometimes I jhave to stop and roll my eyes because... come on, really?... but for the most part I just enjoy them for what they are. Not books that I *LOVE* or that will become favorites but still good entertainment. I'm on book 3 right now (Rome) and I might have been better off with the physical book because the narrator for Cora makes me want to impale myself.

These tough as nail, tattooed, pierced, bad-ass guys are going to sit around and get all emo with each other? Nah! Hee hee. But I still find the stories interesting and fun. I'm listening to the third one (Rome) right now. Love that you're able to use your Kindle so much (no headaches?)!

Thankfully, with the audio versions I don't have to see them much. LOL I must admit, I'm still a sucker for the good girl/bad boy trope, as played out as it is. I don't know what it is, but I tend to fall for it every time. =pTanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-72594718020803765242017-01-17T08:41:22.412-05:002017-01-17T08:41:22.412-05:00First off, the whole good-girl bad-boy thing can g...First off, the whole good-girl bad-boy thing can get a little tiring especially if it's not done well--which most books tend to do the same of. It usually goes the same way so Idk, I wouldn't stop reading it but I wouldn't gravitate towards it either. <br /><br />All three of these books give me a sense of frustration and meh. I am so gonna pass.

Old favourite of mine. Especially Jet. That being said, Jay Crownover does a lot of heart to heart and all these guys pretty much talk like that. With deep seeded knowledge about things they've not experienced. So it's gotten old. In fact I feel like I needed to take a break from her books(even rereading) after not liking Charged very much. <br />With that said, Nash and Rowdy are awesome. And once you get to Built well just you wait.

Now that you point it out though, I totally agree Tanya! And as for the second book in the series, I still haven't had a chance to pick that one up yet! I'm actually on a reading kick with my kindlefire lately though and I'm running out of books to read on it so I think i'm going to download it tonight!!

I am NOT a fan of the good girl-bad boy trope either. Like, at all. Actually, I hate it. (Wow, guess I have stronger feelings about this than I thought hah!) Opposites attract I can tolerate on SOME levels, because I think that sometimes it really does happen. That last one sounds insta-lovey and kind of annoying though, so hard pass on that. Great reviews, I am glad you're enjoying audiobooks so much!
