I shouldn't have put A Little Taste of Sin as it's romance, but I think it was also listed as something else too.

I accept Tracy's challenge though :)

Best Of Both Worlds - Like Julilly said, it's one of those stories I likely wouldn't click on. Just because it sounds a little cliche. But this is about being away from the comfort zone, so yeah.

Visions of Love - It's centered around AJ and Howie and a comedy. I saw this on the most recent and knew that I probably wouldn't click just cause of that lol. Unless it's about the group, I tend to be more Nick/Brian and sometimes Kevin centered in terms of stories.

My Answer Is You - Another one that sounded like a story I'd never click on lol. Just not my taste, but this is all about stepping outside the comfort zone. So why not.

Casual - I've heard good things about it. It's a romance, and a long one at that LOL. Another one that would just be skipped.




I made sure to look solely at the genres I normally wouldn't touch LOL. And I also picked four just to keep my options a little open. :)

I didn't realize my story was going to cause so much trouble lol. It is listed under angst, romance, drama. I mean I guess if you had to pick an overall category romance, but now thast Mare will match us up this is looking a lot easier.

My three are in no particular order:

Stockholm Syndrome - Heard good things about this and I don't think I've actually read anything by Julilly.

It Stays With You - Haven't read this one by Mare

00Carter - Because I'm so not usually into the Action/Adventure kind of stories and have no interest in any of the James Bond movies so it would be a big stretch for me.

I'm easy though and if you needto assign me to another story I am flexible.

LOL if it helps I didn't mean to either. I didn't realize so many people missed it under romance haha.

And for the record Mare, if there's any stories I didn't list that I haven't read and you need someone to stick them to, go for it. I'm open to practically anything new on this.

Had to change my top 3 cause one seemed to be a romance as well lol

This is in no particular order:

It Stays With You - I haven't read much by Mare and I've also heard very positive things about this story so I'm curious.

Visions of Love - I haven't read a lot of Action/Adventure so I'll give it a go.

Love This Pain - Heard a lot of great things about this story so that's why lol

Excellent, thanks Mel and Rose. Another question, is anyone willing to read more than one story? Just in case?

Okay here are mine after several revisions:

Tooth Fairy.  This one looked cute in all honesty and I've never read anything by the author or about Baylee.

Stockholm Syndrome.  Just like everyone else's reason. I've heard good things and I have honestly never read anything written by the author.  Plus, it sounded interesting.

Visions of Love - I just don't read enough comedies these days.

Possibly but I can't guarantee it with having to start to get ready to go back to work soon. If one is a quick read then yes.
