In one of the other groups I'm in, I had a historical series picked for me to finish out, which is a really good thing in light of the SOGM this month! I'll be reading Carnal Gift and Ride the Fire by Pamela Clare!

[Lara]

Oh good! I have lots to choose from :-)

[Danielle Gypsy Soul]

I'd start with her The Hathaways series, Karen.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

I agee with Lisa Kay, start with the Hathaways.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

:o)

[Molly]

The Wallflowers series from Lisa Klaypass are my all time favorite feel good reads. is the BEST!

[Katariina]

I have a question about Lisa Kleypas' books. If I recall correctly, the hero from Devil In Winter is a villain in previous book. Anyone remember that book and would it be good to read them in order?

I definitely say to read the series in order. All the couples stories begin in the previous books. You miss a lot if you don't read in order, IMO!

Thanks for the info. I have already some books in the series. I guess I have to order the rest (I usually read historicals in paperback).

[Ezi]

i'm in.

[Molly]

I'm done with the challenge - was not my cup of tea (and that was bitterly disappointing, since I have been looking forward to this for quite some time). I'm not going to stop buying Sarah MacLean books because of this one disappointment, but this will teach me to read the reviews before I leap into it with high expectations.
was better that I expected (although the POW was choppy and slightly confusing at times, it was a satisfying and lovely romance.

Sorry it didn't work out for you, Molly! The only Sarah MacLean book I've ever read didn't work for me so I've never been tempted to try again!

[Lauren]

Finished - enjoyed it more than I expected to. GR Review

[Bookcrazy]

I've read which was great. Then I read the series start , which started good, but the heroine got a bit on my nerves at the end.

[Sue]

was good, on the topic of Lisa Kleypas... definitely the Hathaway's.

I'll definitely be reading not listening. I have a hard time listening to HR.

[Ella]

I'm not really sure what the rules are, if there are any, since I couldn't find them. Anyway, i love HR. I always comeback to this sub-genre after I've read something really intense like dark romance or something really sad. I'm going to read Heard a lot of praises regarding this one so i'm eager :)

No rules at all , only that it has to be historical and romance!!

The madness ... is a great book! Enjoy, Ella!

[Ezi]

Finihsed both and

I enjoyed as much as the previous books.

I found didn't have as much romance as I was expecting and I didn't enjoy it near as much as Black Cobra or The Cynsters

[Ezi]

I finished . Anne Flosnick ruined this book for me. I am so pissed!
She was not right for this audio.

At least I have Kaleo G on this one:

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Finished the story was a bit different from Julie Grawood's usual story line - (usual: hero forces the heroine to get married in chapter 1 or 2 and takes him the whole book to realize he loves her) I enjoyed reading it.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Yes, ♥JG♥. Currently listening to . Wanted to see if it still held up. I read it several times, back in the day. So far, really enjoying it.

[Rosemarie]

I read all of the Wallflower series but somehow overlooked this one so I am starting it today.

[Gea]

I've read and loved it, but had high expectations for and was disappointed

Right now I'm reading and it's quite good so far

[⚜️XAR]

I've finished both my reads for the month...and Ride the Fire was much better than Carnal Gift!

I've enjoyed Sally MacKenzie's books when I've read them. She has a good sense of humor.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Did I tell you all I finished and loved it? I don't think I did. Listened to it via audiobook this time around. I'm surprised at what I remembered and what I forgot. Totally forgot that the hero was so flawed. What is the significance of that? LOL!

Lol this made me giggle. After I got my head around that the Earl was named Shaun. Really Enjoyed it.

That's an audiobook I'm thinking of listening to next month. It sounds really good.
