My favorite read for 2012 is "Seduced in the dark" by CJ Roberts. This storyline is not an easy one to read about. With "Seduced in the dark" you feel all of the emotions but in the end you don't have a choice with who you fall in love with.

December 30, 2012 at 5:58 AM comment-delete

The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski!

December 30, 2012 at 7:09 AM comment-delete

Hard to choose one but If I had to go with one that rocked my world and stuck with the longest that would be Undeniable my Madeline Sheehan!

December 30, 2012 at 7:22 AM comment-delete

Best read this year was probably Sea of Tranquility, but my favorite author is Colleen Hoover. <<< = amazeballs. alliemathews (at) ymail (dot) com

It is really hard to pick just one. Favorite author of the year would have to be Abbi Glines. Favorite book would probably be Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire. This has been an awesome year for books thanks to all the book blogs reviewing new authors.

The Edge of Never by JA Redmerski....best author would be a tie between Abbi Glines and Colleen Hoover!

December 31, 2012 at 6:14 AM comment-delete

There were soooo many great books that I read this year. The one that sticks in my mind is The Edge of Never. I have many many many that I call my favorites and tons of ladies that I have grown to love from their books so I really hate to pick a favorite. Best author.... mmmmm I am going to go with Colleen Hoover.

December 31, 2012 at 6:42 AM comment-delete

I can't really say what would be my favorite as I have read many wonderful books this year. However I can give credit to the one that restarted my reading obsession. 50 shades, El James. Had I not read the trilogy I probably wouldn't have picked up reading again and discovered so many other wonderful books. Tianna
