My Favorite Books and Bestsellers of 2012

01/05/2013

My Top 25 favorite books of 2012.

Wow, how the hell do I choose? I loved so many books, and they all seem to be my favorites when I’m reading them. I am going to list books I read in 2012. If they were 2nd or 3rd in a series I will list the book AND the series. These books are grouped by however they come out of my head, not in order of how much I loved them. Because honestly, the ones I read more recently would end up on top because they are so fresh…..that doesn’t seem fair. I started with a top 10, then a top 20. Then I realized there were too many I left off, so I Ā added another 5 and some honorable mentions. These were all 5 or 5+ star reads. I read about 185 books in 2012 and there were VERY FEW that I didn’t love!

Ā  The Chocolate Lovers SeriesĀ by Tara Sivec:Ā Seduction and SnacksĀ (review), Futures and Frosting (review) and Troubles and Treats (review). Laugh out loud till you pee funny, sexy and fun, I feel like all the characters are my best friends. This series is complete.
PurchaseĀ Seduction and SnacksĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.com
PurchaseĀ Ā Futures and FrostingĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.com
Purchase Troubles and TreatsĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.com
.
The Love Series by Tina Reber: Love UnscriptedĀ (review) and Love UnrehearsedĀ (review). Technically, Love Unscripted shouldn’t be on the list because I read it in 2011, but I re-read it AND re-reviewed it in 2012 and loved it even more. Love Unrehearsed was even better.Ā Both were really long, juicy, can’t put down, amazingly wonderful reads. The third book, which is more of a spinoff will hopefully be out in 2013.
PurchaseĀ Love UnscriptedĀ (Book 1)Ā atĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooks
PurchaseĀ Love UnrehearsedĀ (Book 2)Ā Ā atĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooks
.
Hopeless by Colleen Hoover (review)Ā New adult, hopeful, tragic. Amazing. I laughed, I cried, I swooned, I fell in love, I got angry, and fell in love again with this book.
Purchase HopelessĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā NookĀ ||Ā iBooks
.
The Slammed Series by Colleen Hoover:Ā SlammedĀ (review)Ā and Point of RetreatĀ (review) were intense and incredible. Though mostly YA, these books changed me and took some heavy subject matter and made them incredible to read about. There will be a third book, from the male POV in 2013, and perhaps a movie.
PurchaseĀ Slammed atĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooks
PurchaseĀ Point of Retreat atĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooks
.
Ā The Redhead Series by Alice Clayton: The Unidentified Redhead (review) and The Redhead Revealed (review) were funny, fun, sexy, made me feel good and happy the whole way through. The first one had no angst, the second one did. Both were amazing. The third redhead book comes out in spring 2013.
Purchase The Unidentified Redhead:Ā Ā AmazonĀ |Ā BN.comĀ |Ā iBooks
PurchaseĀ The Redhead Revealed atĀ AmazonĀ |Ā BN.comĀ |Ā iBooks
.
Ā If I Were You by Lisa Renee Jones (review).Ā The first in the Inside Out Series, had everything. It was hot, sexy, a mystery, and it kept me riveted. There are 5 Novellas and the next 2 books coming out this year. These are definitely at the top of my most anticipated books of 2013.
PurchaseĀ If I Were You (Inside Out 1)Ā AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooks
.
Ā Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley (review) and the rest of the Dream Man Series (Series order). ALL of the books in the series (in fact all of Kristen’s books in general) belong in the top 20, but this 4th book was my favorite, plus I didn’t read them all in 2012. Hot, alpha, sexy, romantic, tough. Dream man is the perfect description of all of Kristen’s alpha heroes.
PurchaseĀ Motorcycle Man (Dream Man 4) atĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooksĀ (But read the series in order)
.
Ā Leave me Breathless by Cherrie Lynn (review). The third in the Ross Siblings Series (see the series order here) I read the first 2 last year, and re-read Rock MeĀ (review) this year, and it was even better the second time. Hot, sexy, romantic and tattooed. What else can you want? Cherrie will be releasing at least one more in the series in 2013.
Purchase Leave Me Breathless atĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooksĀ (Read the series in order, or at least book 2, Rock Me, first)
.
Ā Undeniable by Madeline Sheehan (review):This book blew me away. Rough and gritty, so not my type, yet I couldn’t put it down or move on after reading. Luckily, there will be two more books, Unbeautifully and Unattainable about side characters coming out in 2013.
Purchase Undeniable atĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā iBooks
.
Ā Games of the Heart by Kristen Ashley (review)Ā the 4th in The Burg Series (series order). The entire series would on my list, but I read the first three last year. This one still stands out to me, with Kristen’s sexy alpha men, great older characters with kids, and stories that make me laugh, cry and swoon.
Purchase Games of the Heart atĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooksĀ (The series is amazing read it in order)
.
Ā The Gamble by Kristen Ashley (review), the first in The Colorado Mountain Series (series order). Once again, Kristen Ashley blows me away with her stories that make me laugh, cry, swoon, fall in love and more. The second in the series, Sweet Dreams, is even better, but I read it in 2011-it was my first Kristen Ashley book, and hooked me for good. There will be a 5th book in 2013.
PurchaseĀ The GambleĀ onĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooksĀ (The series gets better as you go!)
.
Ā On Dublin Street by Samantha YoungĀ (review) was the perfect combination of romance, sexiness and angst. I was glued to the pages the whole time. I laughed, cried and fell in love. There will be a second book in 2013.
PurchaseĀ On Dublin Street atĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooks
.
Ā Sempre (Forever) by J.M. Darhower (review) was a powerful New Adult book that grabbed me, pulled me in, and didn’t let go. A combination of innocence and cold-hearted killing that was a long, very satisfying, powerful read. This book got a movie deal!
PurchaseĀ Sempre:Ā AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ **Currently unavailable will be re-published fall 2013
.
Ā My Liege of Dark Haven by Cherise Sinclair (review). Part of the Mountain Masters series (order), but can be read alone. Cherise is is the queen of BDSM romance. Her Masters of the Shadowlands series (order) is amazing as well, but I read them in 2011, so I can’t put them on this list.
PurchaseĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooksĀ (Even better if you read the series)
.
Ā The Mighty Storm by Samantha Towle (review). Hot, tattooed, bad-boy rock star. This book consumed me and made me ignore my family. It had everything: romance, friendship, angst, and perfectly flawed characters. Wethering the Storm comes out in June 2013
Purchase Ā AmazonĀ ||Ā iBooks
.
Ā Sea of Tranquility by Katja MillayĀ (review) new adult/YA, beautiful, tragic, uplifting, funny, healing, and ending that I had to read over and over.

Ā Bared To You (review) and Reflected in You (review)Ā by Sylvia Day. Both part of the Crossfire Series, these books are hot, sexy, angsty, passionate, obsessive and delicious. I can’t wait for Entwined With You in May 2013.

PurchaseĀ Ā AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooks

Ā Lover Reborn by JR Ward (review). Book 10 in the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series (Series order) This is the only paranormal book on the list, and if you like hot, sexy, dangerous alpha heroes, you may want to re-think any aversion you have to vampire books. But start at the beginning. Lover At lastĀ (Book 11) will be out in March.
Purchase Lover Reborn Amazon ||Ā iBooksĀ (Read the series in order)

Purchase:Ā The Proposition atĀ AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.com
.
Ā Fifty Shades FreedĀ by EL James (Fifty Shades Series). I read the first two in 2011 when they first came out (twice) so they don’t really qualify, but I read them again right before this came out in January 2012. I loved the whole series each time. I have to say, if I had read the whole series for the first time in 2012, it would be at the top spot of the list. Of all of these books, this one has impacted my life the most, made me switch genres, improved my marriage, and gave me a reason to start this blog. I have read plenty of amazing books since. Maybe even ones who did it better. But this is the original <3
Purchase: Fifty Shades Freed at Amazon || iBooks
.
Honorable Mentions:Ā 
.
Ā The Original Sinners Series by Tiffany Reisz (Series order)Ā Edgy, sexy, taboo, different, not for everyone. Tiffany has a ton of free stories on her website to be read after you read the first book, The Siren (review).
Purchase The Siren:Ā AmazonĀ ||Ā BN.comĀ ||Ā iBooks
.
Ā The Girl Next Door Series by CC Wood Friends With Benefits (review) and Frenemies (review) These little 100 page novellas were nice fluffy beach reads, but made me laugh and swoon the whole way through.
Purchase Friends with Benefits at AmazonĀ PurchaseĀ Frenemies atĀ Amazon
.
Ā Rescue Me Series by Kallypso Masters (series order) is about a group of Marines who open a fetish club. Hot, emotional, and educational. The first book, Masters at Arms is FREE and is basically a prequel to get to know each Dom.

    Thank you for the time you put into the list I will be buying lots of books this year. One thing I would like to say I was glad to see 50 shades made it, so many people are saying so many bad things(writing style, smarter) about it, they don’t get it.

    Thank you for asking me to be included with my Top 10. I was so honored. It was one of the hardest things to come with because I realized how many really good books I’d read.

    I started reading 50 last January (before the hype) and because if that one damn book (and two sequels) that I couldn’t put down or talking about. It renewed by love of reading something fierce and changed my life in so many different ways. From the Amazon recommendations, I found other authors, then their FB pages and finally blogs. Yours and Scandalicious’ really spoke to me and I became regular follower and active responder (must be the love if sarcasm) Hell, it was both of your recommendations that i read Seduction & Snacks. From that I gained friendships with Kerry, CC Wood and the two of you. Now a year later I’m helping to plan the Wicked Girls Book Weekend and meeting these very same authors. All because I read one dam book

      Thank you so much for your list! I agree, Fifty Shades, no matter what people want to say about it, opened up so many new people to reading, and did a LOT for many relationships! Including mine.

      I especially love it, because I wouldn’t have started this blog and me t YOU! I can’t wait till February!

    btw- can’t wait to here about what you think of a beutiful lie- for me it was a slow burn, like ok like it, not love it, then BAMN WTF, OMG, HOLY SHIT, half the turns were so so unexpected (i only guess one of them and i’m pretty good at the guessing thing)!

    Fantastic list Ana, great to have the books all in one place to be able to refer back to (and tick off!). I totally agree that the Fifty Shades books should be no.1 for pretty much the same reasons you give. I also agree that Tara Sivec and Alice Clayton should be up there too, their books were a delight. Was Wallbanger too late to be considered? There is however one glaring omission from what I can see – where is Sylvain Reynard’s divine professor? I loved the Gabriel series and would definitely have them in my top 20. Otherwise I look forward to reading the other books on your list that I’ve heard of but not yet found time to read. I live your blog, keep up the good work & I hope you have a brilliant 2013 xx

      For some reason I have never gotten to the Gabriel series. When it came out many of my friends either loved it or hated it. For some reason, I skipped it! I loved Wallbanger, but I like the redhead series more. It was just a bit too much of a tease! I still loved it though.

      Thanks and Happy New Year to you!

    Great list! I have to agree with you on most of them. I haven’t read them all, but the ones I have read, definitely deserve to be on the list. The rest are on my TBR list. That just keeps growing and growing! Thank you for the time you spend reading and reviewing books for us!

Formula 1 is by far the sexiest sport. I don’t k Formula 1 is by far the sexiest sport. I don’t know why we don’t have more romances set in racing and I’m so glad @kbromberg has set her latest series in my favorite sport. Riggs started off not-so-good but completely won me over with his sweet, fun, lighthearted personality. I laughed and I cried. It was slow-burn, but the last 25% had me riveted and I hate to wait until January for the next in the Full Throttle Series.

Fighting the Pull by @kristenashleybooks is LIVE a Fighting the Pull by @kristenashleybooks is LIVE at MIDNIGHT! While the River Rain Series has had its ups and downs for me, I absolutely loved Fighting the Pull. Elsa is by far my favorite heroine of the series and Hale was all bossy and sexy. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a billionaire either. As more and more background about the characters comes up, it’s made me want to re-read the whole series with new eyes while I anxiously await for the next in the series!

Don’t come for me! I listened to A Court of Thor Don’t come for me! I listened to A Court of Thorns and Roses and enjoyed it but wasn’t raving about it, but everyone said I have to read the second book, A Court of Mist & Fury. I wish I could say I loved it, but I just liked it. With the next book being 25+ hours, I wasn’t willing to spend that time to continue the series. What are your thoughts?

Wow, We Own Tonight is an oldie but a goody! It’ Wow, We Own Tonight is an oldie but a goody! It’s been on my radar for years, but I never got to it. It had everything I love in a romance novel and more. Filled with romance, friendship, family, love, and heartbreak, We Own Tonight by @corinnemichaels left me wondering why I waited so long to read it; it’s no wonder it’s still so popular 6 years after release. I’m so excited to get mine signed here at #readersontheriver

Runaway Groomsman by @meghanquinnbooks was another Runaway Groomsman by @meghanquinnbooks was another unique, feel-good story from one of my favorite authors. The Alzheimer’s storyline was very special and it’s what made this book stand out to me.  While not as spicy as most Meghan Quinn books, if you don’t mind a light, slow-burn story with some really beautiful family moments and wonderful town connections, you would enjoy Runaway Groomsman.
