Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments Don't worry about not liking it Karen. The first time I read it I wanted to put it down. It was soooo slooooowwww at first.

I'm sorry you're feeling depressed :( Do you need to go visit the Yellow team thread for some shallow pick me up? ;)

I think someone asked this before and there's no page requirements.

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments If anyon needs an HH book, just read Hajar's Hidden Legacy by Maisey Yates , I think it's the best Harlequin I've read in a while.

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments If you're looking for an II book steer clear from The Ruthless Italian's Inexperienced Wife, it was awful! I should have waited for The Italian's Inexperienced Mistress (Ruthless) (Harlequin Presents, #2621) by Lynne Graham , it has a higher rating than the rubbish I read.


message 373: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 752 comments Shot in the Dark by Jennifer Conner

I downloaded this as a freebie on Amazon today and the heroine is Luci Lombart if anyone needs an LL book. It's short too at 185 pages. I had some LL books already but I think I will use this because it's short and I'm 2 books behind for my yearly goal.

message 376: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments I guess I need to branch out and look closer at characters for double letters. So far I've been focusing on titles and authors' names.

No, the free one is by Lynne Graham, the one I read was by Christina Hollis. I should have gone with Graham's book, I don't know who one earth comes up with these lousy titles! I think they pull them out of a hat, because they often have nothing to do with the story and can put people off, which is a shame because many of these series romances are quite decent.
