I will let you know, Erin!
I finished What a Duke Dares, Sons of Sin #3, and loved, loved, loved it! This is the Anna Campbell I've enjoyed in the past.
I also finished listening to Dead Run by P.J. Tracy and really enjoyed the story. It was harrowing most of the time but the author balanced it with the humorous banter between the main characters.
I'm now starting my binge read of the rest of the Fatal series by Marie Force, beginning with Fatal Flaw, book #4. I'm also listening to The Liar by Nora Roberts.

Jonetta, I have FATAL FLAW sitting on my bedside table but I fear I've forgotten the previous books enough that I can't start this one until I do some skimming or reading reviews, or something. I really like Marie Force and would like to catch up on this series. So many books/series, so little time :(

I know, I know. This one starts up (view spoiler).
Another thing you can do, Charlene, is to read some of the spoiler-ish reviews here on Goodreads for the earlier books. That's what I do when there's been a significant amount of time between books and most of the time it works better than skimming!

There's a lot going on in my personal life this month and my reading is taking a butt kicking as a result. Thank goodness for audiobooks!!I finished listening to Key of Light by Nora Roberts and it was exactly the light, charming story I needed!
I'm now starting the audio of Key of Knowledge by Nora Roberts.
These are books 1 and 2 in Roberts' Key Trilogy.
Glad you're still able to get some reading in, Erin. Love audiobooks! Yesterday, I worked on a project for almost three hours (it was sort of mindless) and audiobooks saved the day!
I've listened to them in the car for many years. Getting those headphones opened the door to a whole new world of listening opportunities (and a cleaner house!).
I wish I could listen to audio books while I'm working, but I get too distracted. I find it difficult to compose documents when I'm words like "sighing", "heartpounding", and "orgasm."
Oh, I can't really work at something that requires me to do a lot of thinking and listen to an audiobook. Yesterday's project was all editing, not substantive...things like removing pagination, stray punctuation, cleaning up margins. It was all visual.

I'm reading Dead Heat #4 in Alpha and Omega series, Shadow Study #4 in Study series, Don't Hex with Texas #4 in Enchanted, Inc. series, -- who knew I was reading so many #4's -- Unbound #3 in Magic Ex Libris series, and Fool's Assassin #1 in newish The Fitz and the Fool series (bit misleading because follows multi-book series Farseer and Tawny Man...)
I am currently reading Hidden #1 of Bone Secrets by Kendra Elliot and Fantasy in Deathfrom the in death series by J.D. RobbI just finished #2 Pure of the Covenant series by Jennifer L Armentrout (***)
Just finished listening to The Liar by Nora Roberts, narrated by January LaVoy, whose performance was really good (my first experience with her). While I enjoyed the story, it was seriously weak on suspense...more like a contemporary romance with an element (very small) of suspense. It's a feel good kind of story with a cute kid.
I'm now listening to Every Which Way But Dead by Kim Harrison.

I recently finished What a Duke Dares by Anna Campbell and here's my review.
Here's my review for The Liar by Nora Roberts.
Here's my review for The Liar by Nora Roberts.
I am now listening to
by JD Robb and am already hooked! I have not had much reading time so am still reading
(Book 2) by Anne Barton.
Jonetta wrote: "Oh, that's a HUGE story (NYTD)."I just started it last night before bed so am only 30 min in...I think I might need some hand-holding for this one, lol.
I read Toni Anderson's
and it grabbed me from the start and didn't let me go. Lots of interesting characters and I just knew there was more to the story than the immediately obvious shady doings. I have the second book from the library already.
I finished Fatal Deception by Marie Force, Fatal #5, and loved it 4.5 ★.
I'm now reading Fatal Mistake, Fatal #6. Enjoying this binge read of the series as there are so many relationships in flux.

I just finished 2 books and 1 novella. The Year We Hid Away (book 2 The Ivy Years) and Blonde Date (book 2.5 The Ivy Years) by Sarina Bowen. Both were good, The Year We Hid Away was pretty emotional and I loved Bridger. And Blonde Date was a light, fun read.I also finished Burn for Me (book 1 Hidden Legacy) by Ilona Andrews and absolutely loved it. It's a great start to a new series. I cannot wait for book 2!
I am now listening to Murder of Crows (book 2 The Others) by Anne Bishop and really enjoying it so far. This is such a fascinating world, and I'm loving the dynamics between Meg and Simon right now. I'm also reading The Understatement of the Year (book 3 The Ivy Years) by Sarina Bowen and I'm enjoying it. This book in the series features a m/m romance, which is somewhat new to me. I'm not sure if it's my thing, but I do love Graham and Rikker and their romance is sweet.

It is, Kris!Aaaaand now I'm done with The Understatement of the Year and I really liked it. I think I'll move on to book 4 in the series, The Shameless Hour.
I finished Insurgent by Veronica Roth (Divergent #2), 3 ★ and am starting Crystal Keepers by Brandon Mull (Five Kingdoms #3).
I'm still reading Dead Beat by Jim Butcher (Dresden Files #7) and The Colorado Kid by Stephen King.

I am hopelessly hooked to the Fatal series. I finished Fatal Mistake by Marie Force, book #6, and here's my review. Loved it.
I jumped right into the next book, Fatal Jeopardy and got so intrigued I'm already halfway through.

Woo hoo! I love it when I recommend a book/series to someone and they binge read it. I've been putting off The Shameless Hour because I'm not ready to be caught up with this series yet. :)
I've been so bad about updating my reading on here lately and I've read a lot lately. Right now, I'm in the middle of two audiobooks. You know when you get to a part of a book and you can see where the story is going and you're not in the mood for that particular plot device? That's where I am in About That Night, which is good but not nearly as good as the first two in the series. So, I set that aside and now I'm listening to the last book in the Bone Secrets series by Kendra Elliott called Alone. It's a romantic suspense with a reunited lovers storyline and I'm enjoying it so far. The mystery is this one is super creepy.
I've also read a crapton of e-books but the stand out for me was the first in a new series: Chaos Station by Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen, which was an m/m sci fi romance and I really liked it. Great world building and romance and action. I love it when a book works on all levels like that!
I just finished Snowcroft Lost by Christi Snow and it was good, not great.
I'm back to a Rizzoli & Isles book, Tess Gerritsen's
.Then I'm going to join the discussion on the weekend for the Kate Burkholder book,
.
I finished Key of Knowledge by Nora Roberts (second book in her Key trilogy) and I really liked it. I enjoyed the romance in this one better than in the first book. I'm now starting Key of Valor which is the final book in the trilogy.

I read this over four years ago and don't remember it well but do recall liking it. Glad you're enjoying the series.

Wow, you're in for some good reading. Ice Cold was one of my favorites in the Rizzoli & Isles series. I couldn't put it down. And, Breaking Silence was another great book in a series I can't get enough of. I have to get back to Kate Burkholder soon.
This week I read
The Stranger You Know by Andrea Kane.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I completed by binge read of the Fatal series, finishing with Fatal Jeopardy (my review) and Fatal Scandal (my review). Now I've got to wait until September. Guess that's the downside of catching up:)
I'm now reading A Scoundrel by Moonlight by Anna Campbell, Sons of Sin #4, another series where I'll be up to date when I'm done.

I just finished two books and they're both 2-3-4 series challenge books for a change. :) About That Night
by Julie James which I enjoyed but not as much as the first two. I definitely missed the romantic suspense element of the first two books but it was still enjoyable. I also read
Spring Break at the Villa Hermes by Xavier Mayne which I really enjoyed. The last book in this series was a bit of a miss in the romance department but this one really worked for me. So yay!
