I know and we were agreeing with you. We were later complaining about where her writing focus has been...these two contemporary series.

I loved both the McCabe and the Armstrongs & Montgomery trilogy series and would much prefer having those books to this new contemporary stuff MB's focusing on now. I've stopped purchasing the new ones.

Kirsten  (kmcripn) I'm taking a break from the Julie Garwood streak I've been on and drifted back to my first love (in the world of romance novels) -- Regency!

I found a fun series and I've finished the first book and nearly done with the second -- but I've had to stop as my Kindle insists on being recharged.

They're fun and sexy and include one of my favorite plot devices in Regency Romances - the spy for the Crown against those horrid Frenchies!

If you like a nice Regency, I highly recommend them:
A Wedding in Springtime (Marriage Mart, #1) by Amanda Forester A Midsummer Bride (Marriage Mart, #2) by Amanda Forester A Winter Wedding (Marriage Mart, #3) by Amanda Forester

Dawn | 3250 comments @Jonetts...got it. I have never read her contemporaries.

@Sandra...I had never heard of her, but fell into it because I went through a Highlander craze for a while. Fell in love with the first book and it was all over.

If I am going to get sucked into three more series...Eve Duncan, Catherine Ling and Kendra Michaels, I am definitely going to have to stick to the one a month concept lol.

Dawn | 3250 comments Just purchased The Vanishing by Wendy Webb, as a Daily Deal at Audible. The narrator is XE Sands and I love her work. It sounds like an interesting thriller.

Hmmm...maybe I'll listen to those last two. Thanks for the info.


message 2113: by Maggie (new)

Maggie | 1576 comments I just finished The Wild One, enjoyed the story, but.... This a personal pet peeve,the cover is horrible. If I had been in the library or bookstore I never would have picked up the book because of the cover.
Is it just me? Are any of you influenced by the cover of a book?

Do you have the old cover?

Here's the new one. The Wild One (The de Montforte Brothers, #1) by Danelle Harmon


message 2116: by Maggie (new)

Maggie | 1576 comments I think so.

Hated the old cover. I used the new one on my shelf, which is beautiful.

Finished reading Lover Unbound (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #5) by J.R. Ward - wow, talk about cover to cover heartbreak and yet I loved it - 5 stars! I'm making myself stick to my one a month of the series schedule but I am actually dying to start Lover Enshrined...Phury needs some help!

Knew you'd love this one. Warning...Phury's story is a little tedious.

I've read the mixed reviews - seems many were not happy with it. Phury deserves so much including some peace & a hea. I'm trying to hold off until Nov.

I'm starting Heartsick (Gretchen Lowell, #1) by Chelsea Cain

I finished listening to Surrender by Pamela Clare and loved it! Here's my review.

Oh my. I did not continue either for the same reason.

I found the first book to be the weakest in the series. Hang in there if that's your experience.


message 2126: by Quynh (new)

Quynh (quynh_o) | 1269 comments Good to know, Jonetta. I'm already finding the narration to be a little much. It also make Mac sound younger than 22.

Mac grated my nerves in this book. I had a complete reversal on her after the second book.


message 2129: by Quynh (new)

Quynh (quynh_o) | 1269 comments I'll keep that in mind. Though I bought the whole series so I'll be reading it all regardless. But still good to know.

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 15063 comments Mod
Great! Because when you finish the third book, you will want to IMMEDIATELY jump right into the next two. I was hooked by the second but remember downloading the fourth book at 2:00 am in the morning from the library:)

Kirsten  (kmcripn) I started listening to CONCEALED IN DEATH this morning. I love the audiobooks - Susan Ericksen is wonderful. I wonder if there's any video of her performing them. I'd love to see what she looks like when doing these.

I finished Heartsick (Gretchen Lowell, #1) by Chelsea Cain - what a ride! I'll review it when my heart stops racing & I can wrap my head around it. I didn't realize there are 5 more books in this series. I love different, dark, emotional reads, especially suspense, but I'm not sure my heart will survive the next one.

I have this one, too. It's purported darkness has me pushing it back in the pile:)


message 2136: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten  (kmcripn) I really want to read that too! It's had very good reviews and it's set in my neck of the woods from what I understand - the Pacific NW.

I've read "darker" and it is a good murder suspense...it's the crazy relationship between detective (who is also her last victim) & the serial killer that blows my mind. And it's definitely a mind game...some brilliant twists. I think the writing is well above average & the plot excellent...I gave it 4.5 stars - really close to 5 stars. But I didn't realize that "their" story continues so even though I know I'll continue the series, I'm pacing myself. Need a little time to absorb my feelings over this one.

Kirsten  (kmcripn) Finished Concealed in Death (In Death, #38) by J.D. Robb , put in a request at the library for Festive in Death (In Death, #39) by J.D. Robb , and am re-reading Naked in Death (In Death, #1) by J.D. Robb for the umpteenth time. (Good thing I have an Audible copy, it won't get dogeared.)
