This book was pretty cringe.  I didn't make it far.  The couple just felt so forced with no real chemistry.  I couldn't get into it.

Briggs

I'm starting Briggs: DNF at 25%. I started to get the feeling that this would be my least favorite couple in the series but actually Bristol was so annoying. Their chemistry was weird. And I care more about her friend Grace. At one point I thought this book would just be one big set up for Grace. But the main couple just got more and more annoying. Pass. 

Super Sikh Volume One

Oh god.  This was so cringe.  Why are Sikh articles of faith being thrown around and used as weapons.  And I don't mean a kirpan.  At one point he throws a Khanda at a terrorist.  I'm not sure who the audience is for this book, but it's definitely not me.  I don't think the story has even aged well in the few years it's been out.

I only picked this up because Captain America said he liked it in some interview. I’m sorry Chris. I couldn’t do it. This book dragged and if I had to put it into a genre it would be people who think really highly of themselves rambling. Life is too short and I finally decided to just let this one go.

DNF this was just blegh. The whole things. Gave up about 1/3 of the way through the book.
