Penney, I'm planning on re-reading "Noble House". I absolutely love that book. Nice to see someone else reading it and loving it.

[Melissa]

Just finished Phantasm...it was good, but I am remembering why I haven't gone back to this series in awhile. I enjoyed it, but it's not the best writing.

Read Dear Enemy over the weekend and it WAS really good! Not quite as good as the first one, but close and still lots of fun and a good read.

Both Daddy Long Legs and Dear Enemy are free on Kindle if anyone is interested in these fun books written in letter form!
