2-3-4 Challenge discussion

We will begin reading the series in April 2021 and will read one book a month until completion.

About the Series
The series is comprised of five contemporary thrillers about the privileged, wealthy men and friends, who are graduates of Creighton Academy with a wild side. The authors strongly suggest the books be read in order as there’s a larger mystery arc introduced in the first book that continues throughout. Fans of hot contemporary romances featuring larger than life heroes will appreciate the series, but so will fans of mystery-driven romantic suspense.

The series centers around a group of successful, rich, sexy men who all call themselves The Perfect Gentlemen and who all went to boarding school together. One of those Gentlemen is the President of the United States.

Our winner of the tiebreaker! Who’s joining in the series read?

My library has all of the books on audio!!! I’ll be listening.

I am so glad that this won!
I read the first book a few years ago and loved it. At that time, the follow-up books had not been written, so I put the series on the back burner. But now all the books are out and I am eager to get back to it.
Looking forward to the buddy read!

Yay! I’m looking forward to it.

I'll try to get them at the library. It looks like they have long, long wait lists.

I’ll be a joiner , my library has them

Wonderful ladies!

Don't know if I'll be joining. I've actually read the first 3 books and I think I started the 4th but don't finish it for some reason. May just join you for the discussions.

Look for the spoiler info section to jog your memory.

I'm really looking forward to this one. I already have all 5 books in my personal library, and I've been wanting to read them. Now I have a really good reason. Yay!

That’s great, Lynn!

I'm on book 4 in this series and really enjoying it

Good news, Shelby!

Maybe. My library has the audio books, so maybe.

Hope you join us!

I'll check book availability and will try to join the group.

Send reminder, please :-)

I’ll be setting up the first book near the end of March.

I'm in. I think I have most of these books.

Great!

I've only read the first book and have wanted to get back to this. Love Lexi Blake's and Shayla Black's books. I'm definitely in.

Really glad we’ve got so many participating!

Well, I just finished , and I'm so disappointed. I'd been looking forward to reading this for a long time. Maybe my expectations were too high. 😞 I am intrigued by the mystery that continues into the next book, so I plan to read in May. Here is my review if you are interested.

I must admit that I was reluctant but I'm really liking this book.

I finished last night. Working on discussion questions today.

These bad boys are very interesting characters and I love the mystery plot.

Anita agreed

I love their friendship!

Finished re-reading and so glad I did. I'd forgotten so much of this story. Loved this one as much as I did the first time!

Same here Karen. I'd forgotten a lot. Can't really go to the point where I can say I loved it.
