It's been a bit since I posted!
I finished reading Sweet Justice by Christy Reece, Last Chance Rescue #7, and loved it! Here's my review.
I also finished reading Ember by Kristen Callihan, the Darkest London prequel, and it filled in a lot of spaces. I think a case can be made to read it first, too. Here's my review, as well as the review for Firelight.
I finished listening to Snow Blind by P.J. Tracy, Monkeewrench #4, and enjoyed it but like Melissa, had some mixed feelings. Here's my review.
I'm now listening to One to Protect by Tia Louise, One to Hold #3.

I was wondering if you'd finished Lover at Last.

However, I've had little time for reading hardcopy. Only a few minutes here, a few minutes there. I don't like to read BDB that way. I don't WANT to read BDB that way. I want to be able to read it in good sized chunks. It took me almost a week to read all 120 pages or so of Reignite, and I did finish up Rule after about 4 days. I was hoping to get some reading done this weekend. - Lover and now Touch of Frost. My life isn't working out that way :-)
I'm currently listening to [bookcover:Possession in Death|8630481] and just finished listening to
(whih was really, really good) while I'm doing laundry, picking up the house, and driving the teenager around (since we're sharing a car).My mom is coming back down from Payson (1/2 way point to her place - she's been staying with my sister while her car was getting fised). Sent dad up home and now will come down here to help watch Delaney as I don't think she should probably go to camp even tomorrow. And even though she is getting better, every time she gets in the car her headache comes back.
I just finished reading Euphoria
by Lily King which was inspired by actual events in the life of Margaret Mead.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished listening to One to Protect by Tia Louise, One to Hold #3, and enjoyed it the most of all the stories to date. The dual narrators were used for female and male POVs but weren't used within each other's POV (hope that makes sense). It was a little strange but I still enjoyed their performances, Christian Fox's more than Lucy Rivers. His was just a standout.
I started this series thinking it was a trilogy (the series list hadn't been updated) and now it's up to seven books. I'm just not that invested enough to continue but this book had a controversial ending....time will tell.
I'm getting ready to start a road trip today and will be listening to House Rules by Chloe Neill, Chicagoland Vampires #7.

Read:
not an original concept, but Picoult does it well. Quite a bit about elephants here.
my first Barclay book. Won it In a goodreads giveaway. Didn't completely suck me in, but kept me reading.Now back to Lucky harbor!
Finished Skinwalker, Jane Yellowrock #1 by Faith Hunter. An absolute add to my series reading list. Loved the internal first person POV "discussions" between Jane and Beast/Panther.Continuing my "reread" (via audiobook) of the ID series. Finished Portrait in Death. Forgot what a seminal book that was.

Courtney, I loved Skinwalker/Jane Yellowrock also. And getting a view from both Jane & Beast is always entertaining.
I have few days off from my clinical so I'm working my way through LCR series. Starting on No Chance now.
Just finished reading Deadly Memories
by S.D. O'Donnell. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
(Had the potential for a great romantic suspense, but didn't quite get there.)
I am a little irritated with myself. Been reading the Faces of Evil series by Debra Webb. I finished book 7 Vicious and then just finished Vile. only then did i figure out that there was a novella between 7 and 8. Uggghhh so now going back to read 7.5 and then will start on #9 Heinous.
Currently reading Heinous. This Series is just so good. kind of sad knowing that I am getting close to the end.
Just finished Heinous and loved it. so intense. going to start depraved and have a feeling it is going to be a heart racer.
I'm reading Talent for Trouble by Susan Sey. It's the 2nd book in the Blake Brothers trilogy, I'm really enjoying this series.
Decided it was time to get back to LCR series so am now reading Sweet Justice. already on chapter 10 and loving it. Loving Honor and Seth.

I finished reading Sweet Revenge by Christy Reece, Last Chance Rescue #8, and, while I enjoyed the story, it is probably the weakest in the series. It has some really good moments but too much repetition of the hero waffling about his feelings. And, I needed more from the ending. 3.5 stars and review to come.
I also finished listening to Captivated by You by Sylvia Day and think I understand why this extra book was considered necessary by the author. While nothing really spectacular happens, it does focus on Eva and Gideon's relationship development and it's well done. 4 stars and review to come.
I'm now reading A New Hope by Robyn Carr, Thunder Point #8 as I need a break from suspense for a moment. I'm also listening to Suddenly One Summer by Julie James. Though the author doesn't officially include this in her FBI/US Attorney series because the lead characters aren't agents or attorneys, they're of that series world.

After finishing the next 3 Lucky Harbor....
Went on to read:
Maybe I just like suspense and steamy romance too much, but I find Moyes boring. Interesting subjects, great beginning, great end, its just the middle always lacks for me.
Not my usual in the suspense, thriller genre to read, but was good. Action packed and developed enough character and plot to verge on the believable.
Moyes is contemporary fiction, which often has the slow middle. Her stories may sometimes have romance and/or mystery but they're minor elements.
I finished A New Hope by Robyn Carr, Thunder Point #8 and enjoyed it a lot! The hero is quite unconventional, full of passion and exuberance. It's a real feel-good story, too.
I also finished listening to Suddenly One Summer by Julie James, narrated by Karen White. I loved the story and couldn't put it down. It really is part of the FBI/US Attorney series as several characters appear in the book. I think James is blundering by positioning it otherwise. For those following the series, consider it #6.
I'm now reading Unforgiven by B. J. Daniels, Beartooth Montana #1, and listening to Breaking Silence by Linda Castillo, Kate Burkholder #3.

Just finished reading When Christ and His Saints Slept
by Sharon Kay Penmanhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I am currently listening to
, A little different then what I am used to but I am enjoying it. Also reading
and
I want to continue the J.J. Graves series also, Sheri. Not sure if I can get to book 2 this month or not. I definitely want to read Sworn to Silence - I'm intrigued.
Sworn to Silence is really good. much better then I was expecting. J.J Graves series is an interesting read. the writing is different then what I am use to but is a very easy and fast read.
I thought the same about book 1 of JJ Graves. I liked the humor but wasn't as thrilled about the handling of the suspense. But I thought I'd read book 2 to see if I want to read the entire series or not.
Finished Last To Die and as always loved it. I love Jane and Maura. will read the last one as soon as I get my hands on it.
