Down the TBR Hole was originally created by Lost in a Story! The point of it is to help cull your reading lists down, or maybe push higher anticipated releases up on your TBR! And maybe you all can help me along the way, and tell me if you’ve loved or hated any of these!
How it works:
➽ Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.
➽ Order on ascending date added.
➽ Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books
➽ Read the synopses of the books
➽ Decide: keep it or should it go?

C'mon, it's J-freaking-Daniels!! She's one of the authors to make me fall in love with the indie romance genre of books. So I'll never NOT read her books.

I'm trying to remember how or why I added this book. I think it was based on my love of a review and at the time I was a huge fan of MMA romance books. Ah, what the hell!

I read the warning - THIS IS AN EROTIC NOVEL. If you do NOT like dominant, possessive, very Alpha-males, Playing for Keeps is not for you. - Nuff said.

Another book from when I was super interested in stepbrother romances. But this cannot even be found so if I wanted to read it, where would I get it?

I absolutely loved book 1, Omens, and immediately added this book to my tbr. I'm not sure why I didn't immediately dive into it, but I will be changing that.

I think I added this based on a review I read at the time. There were parallels drawn between it and 50 Shades and I thought 'why the heck not?' But after re-reading the blurb, I'm not really feeling inspired.

I've always planned to read this story (obviously), but now that I've met these characters after reading Grip's story, I'm definitely keeping this one on my tbr. If only I can remember to actually read it ;)
Verdict: Keep
And that's it for this edition of keeping it real with my TBR. Have you read any of these books? If so, what did you think? Are any of them on your TBR and do you agree with my verdicts? I hope your TBR continues to flourish!! Happy reading!! xoxo
