Happy November!

I'm about half way through Pushing Reset by K. Sterling.

Reading Game Plan by Callihan but so far not impressed. The characters are internally inconsistent I think--of course everyone is inconsistent but these are in unbelievable ways...

Leigh-Ayn | 1214 comments I've just finished reading book 1 of The Chattan Curse series - Lyon's Bride. I really enjoyed it! Reading a fantasy book now which is called Angelfall for any of you that might enjoy that genre - it's really good. Then going onto book 2 of the Chattan Curse!

I just finished Foolish Games by Tracy Solheim which started out kind of slow but got better until I stayed up way past bedtime to finish.

Phoenix77 | 346 comments I'm reading the Christmas anthology What Happens Under the Mistletoe but am so far unimpressed with the stories. Not these author's best works :(


message 6: by Stacey (new)

Stacey (staceyissassy) I'm reading Sinful at the moment. I approached the author yonky donks ago as I had read a snippet of one of the books in this series asking if she would be releasing in ebook. She got in touch with me last week to say it was happening. I started it, and either my tastes have changed, or my expectations were too high.

Have any of you read it?

Rachel Hill | 487 comments I'm re-reading Lorraine Heath's In Bed With the Devil and my goal is to go through the whole series again (:

Stacy, I haven't read Susan Johnson in years. Hope Sinful picks up for you.

I'm just not sure that particular book is for me. Saying that Susan Johnson has a great style of writing. I may try and find one more suited to me :-)

Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 320 comments I just finished Jill Shalvis' latest, All I Want (Animal Magnetism, #7) by Jill Shalvis .

I liked the story, the humor, and Parker James is a hottie hero; Zoe finally gets her romance and a few other characters from the series appear here and there.

I enjoyed that one too. Loved his relationship with his sister :-)

Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 320 comments Yes, Stacey, the sister and her boyfriend were charming young people. I wonder whether they will feature in future books in this series in any way. Parker got loads of extra points for being such a fantastic big brother....

Definitely made him more endearing. Yes, I would love to "catch up" with them :-) ♥

Nicole (nikanne) | 222 comments I just finished by audio book The Bride Says No and am currently listening to The Bride Says Maybe. The narrator is awesome and I think it makes the book better than it would be if I were reading it. I'm just not as drawn into the story as I normally am. Has anybody else read this series?

I finished Game Plan--definitely not up to the level of the first two books.

However I just finished Alissa Johnson's new book A Talent For Trickery. And I loved it. Can't wait for the next in the series.

Now I'm reading Sarah Mayberry's Christmas novella. It's ok...not up to her usual standard but worth reading.

Bummer. I'm reading The Hook Up now and really enjoying it. I've been wanting to read this series for ages and The Game Plan's storyline had me intrigued. Oh well, now I know I'll at least enjoy the first two :-)

I'm about halfway through The Game Plan and I'm enjoying it. Though I don't think it will replace the second one as my favorite.

Theresa Romain | 420 comments Got through a big deadline and am rewarding myself with Cold-Hearted Rake. So far, so good.

Deb, I really liked A Talent for Trickery too. It's been too long since we had a full-length novel from Alissa Johnson. I hope this series wins new fans for her.

I liked Bride Says No very much, but I haven't read Maybe.


message 21: by Christiana (new)

Christiana Mary Jane Wells narrated The Bride Says No, the other Cathy Maxwell books in the series, as well as Cold-Hearted Rake and Simone St James' books. I really like her voices and she did a great job on all the above mentioned audiobooks.


message 22: by Stacey (new)

Stacey (staceyissassy) Just finished an ARC of The Reluctant Duchess which wasn't bad but it was a little predictable.

I'm reading an ARC for Reckless In Love at the moment. I've been a Bella Andre fan for years and this is the second in her new series written with Jennifer Skully :-)

I also just finished the third in Sharon Shinn's latest series. I didn't like it as much as the first two, which I loved, but it was good. And I suspect from what we see of Leah in this book that the fourth will be great.

After a frustrating period where most of what I started wasn't interesting enouh to complete, I've had a bunch of really excellent books lately--this one, A Talent for Trickery, several Sarina Bowens, Cold Hearted Rake, Last Chance Christmas Ball (particularly the Joanna Bourne one), and a couple of collections of Mary Balogh's short stories that I hadn't read before. I hope this continues!

Susan (susaninaz) | 1075 comments Whew. Y'all are reading so much this week!

I just finished the first book in a Science Fiction fairy tale retelling sereis. It's called Cinder by Marissa Meyer; I thought it is terrific. I'm now reading the second book Scarlet. You can tell that the first is a fractured-fairy-tale of Cinderella, and the second is a not-so-fractured Red Riding Hood. The third book Cress is actually Rapunzel/Saint Barbara's story. It seems to be more like the Saint than the fairy tale.

I might have to listen to Cold Hearted Rake instead of reading it just to hear her narration.
