C - Charlotte Bronte - Jane Eyre DONE 10.27.12 -- 4*
Love Jane's strength, but don't like her submissiveness. Rochester was too simpering for me, and St John was too domineering. Glad there was an HEA for her and Rochester.

C - Charlotte Bronte - Jane Eyre DONE 10.27.12 -- 4*
A - How to Aduct a Highland Lord - Karen Hawkins DONE 10.20.12 -- 4.5*
This is the first Karen Hawkins book I've read, and I really think she writes a charming story with very likeable characters and fun plotline. There was a bit of Paranormal with the MacLeans being able to control the weather when they're angry. Very much fun!
