January:RRRC Monthly challenges:
Flat out sexy by Erin McCarthy. Where's the sequel?!
Tempt me with darkness by Shayla Black. Yet another series I have to remember!
Revenge of the rose by Nicole Galland. Good historical romp, not a romance.
Wild card by Lora Leigh. Meh.
When the black girl sings by Bil Wright. Good YA, search for identity - and, finally, a teen girl who you don't want to strangle for being angsty!
Other books:
Victory of eagles by Naomi Novik. Dragons. Napoleonic War. Enough said.
Gravity sucks by Maggie Alderson. Fun, fun, fun! Newspaper columns about fashion - and growing older.
Shoe money by Maggie Alderson. Ditto.
Handbag heaven by Maggie Alderson. Ditto.
Hallowe'en husbands by Lisa Plumley, Denise Lynn, Christine Merrill. Vaguely PNR.
All about men by Shannon McKenna. Meh.
Dark nights, dark dreams by Savannah Russe. Book 1 - again!
Casanova was a librarian by Kathleen Low. Not as fun as I was expecting/hoping.
February:RRRC Monthly Challenge:
Dead after dark by Sherrilyn Kenyon, JR Ward, Susan Squires, Dianna Love. Reading short stories based on worlds/series you haven't read the rest of is hard!
Goddess of love by PC Cast. Cute & fluffy.
Desi's rescue by Ruth Wind. Intereting seeing someone else's impressions of a Kiwi Bloke (Tamati) - and ex-All Black.
Covert conception by Delores Fossen. Where's the wall?!?!?
Four in hand by Stephanie Laurens. Regency romp - a joy.
White lies by Jayne Ann Krentz. More series...
Thrill of the knight by Julia Latham. Again, more series...
Ain't myth-behaving by Katie MacAlister. Fun! Obviously spent too much time reading mythologies.
Annie on the lam by Jennifer Archer. Light.
The kiss by Sophie Nash. Meh.
What's in a Name challenge:
Hotter after midnight by Cynthia Eden. Enough for me to hunt down others by her.
The knight and the rose by Isolde Martyn. Meh. A bit overwrought.
Cop on loan by Jeannie Watt. Meh.
A father's sacrifice by Mallory Kane. Double meh.
Wizard of London by Mercedes Lackey. A re-read. Love this series.
The adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E Pearson. Good, but prefer Peter Dickinson's Eva if you want scientific ethics vs parents desperate to save their child.
Miranda's revenge by Ruth Wind. Read because I'd read Desi's rescue
Summers at Castle Auburn by Sharon Shinn. Fantasy - love Shinn.
Silver master by Jayne Castle. Meh.
Romance:
One knight only by Julia Latham. Read because read others.
Juliet's law by Ruth Wind. Read because I'd read Desi's rescue
When he was bad by Shelley Laurenston & Cynthia Eden. Not bad.
The river knows by Amanda Quick.
Kissed by shadow by Jane Feather. Bit overwrought - nearly the mother all of secret pregnancies.
To kiss a spy by Jane Feather.
Midnight sins by Cynthia Eden.
Non-romance:
Life on air by David Attenborough.
Love me tender by Max Cryer.
On writing by Stephen King.
