✓ A Kiss to Remember - Teresa Medeiros ★★★★☆
✓ Blood Games - Chloe Neill ★★★★☆
Did You Miss Me? - Karen Rose
✓ Brown-Eyed Girl - Lisa Kleypas ★★★★☆
✓ The Beast - J.R. Ward ★★★★☆ 1/2
Wild Man - Kristen Ashley
Unseen - Karin Slaughter

Short Story/Novella:
Desert Heat - Cindy Gerard

Late last night I finished A Kiss to Remember by Teresa Medeiros. It's a humorous "amnesia" romance.

A great list and a good start to the month :)

[Mary Beth]

OMG! You are reading Unseen. I really enjoyed it! Enjoy! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

[Laura]

I like your list. Enjoy!

[Jonetta]

Love your list this month! Enjoy The Beast and it's a long one.

I also wish I was keeping up with you in Will Trent.

[Veronica]

Happy reading, Robin! Your list reminds me that I need to get back to the Chloe Neill series. I need a book with a character with unusual colored hair for a challenge read and Mallory is usually good for that, lol.

I'm excited to read this book. I want to get caught up. I just received The Kept Woman in the mail a few nights ago. I wasn't sure why the publisher was sending me a copy until I realized that I had signed up for a drawing a couple of weeks ago. I guess I won.

I have to try to find a block of time to read The Beast. I don't like reading it on work nights because I want to stay up reading.

Wow! Its always exciting to win a new book, but you couldnt of won a better book! I am waiting on this to come in from the library for the ebook. I cant wait to get it. I just might be binge reading both of them.

[Lauren]

Are you listening or reading Blood Games, Robin?

[Robin]

I'm reading Blood Games. I haven't tried any of the audios. Do you know if the narrator is good?

[Jonetta]

Love the new narrator, Sophie Eastlake for the Chicagoland Vampires series! They switched from Cynthia Holloway (thought she was awful) around book #5. You'll enjoy her, Robin.

[Lauren]

I second Jonetta's comments. Excellent from book 5 onwards.

[Jonetta]

Was hoping you'd weigh in, Lauren.

[Robin]

I may have to give the audios a try.

[Robin]

I've been reading some good books lately....

I finished Blood Games by Chloe Neill. Another solid book in the adventures of Merit & Ethan.

Then I read The Beast by J.R. Ward. I'm glad I had a long weekend to read this one. I wouldn't have got much sleep if it was a work night.

Today I read Brown-Eyed Girl by Lisa Kleypas. Another winner by one of my favorite authors.

I was away on vacation and didn't get a lot of reading time the last two weeks. I did end up finishing two books:

First I read Into the Storm by Suzanne Brockmann. Loved it.

Next I read Lost Light by Michael Connelly. This was another good mystery from Michael Connelly.
