Lori spent her early years reading books in a tree in northern West Virginia.

Her dogs are a big part of her life, and she has served or held offices in Golden Retriever and Great Pyrenees rescues, a humane society, a county kennel club, and her own chapter of Therapy Dogs International. She has been a c...more

Very well-written and enjoyable. I think my issue came in that I didn't really bond with the hero character. I found the premise of his "seduction" less than plausible, though the results were certainly worth it. I did buy the second in the series, t...more

I read this and Rock Me in inverse order, and maybe that affected my opinion. I'm already too hooked on Brian Ross to get as enthused about his older brother. ;-)

This was fantastic! The characters were so intense, and I absolutely fell for Brian Ross.

Hah! I've noticed. Nothing wrong with that, though >:-D. I downloaded Kindle for PC, so I was looking at potential downloads from your list. I know there was something you wanted people to read so you can talk about it, but I can't remember what it was....

Rachel i kept a book journal too...but i quickly ran out of pages. :) goodreads has been a great replacement--easier and more fun! although, at times it is a bit depressing to see how many people hate some of my favorite books.


message 2: by Lori

Lori Whitwam Gee, wonder why? ;-) NOW I wish I hadn't deleted my vampire book webpage. I had a totally huge collection there, most of which I'll never remember again. But thanks for pointing me to the goodreads site. I used to keep a book journal (for about 10 years) but stopped a few years ago. This will help me out with keeping track of things again!


Rachel i would strongly suggest the creation of a "vampire" bookshelf. :)
