What are you reading?
I just started
and am loving it so far! I needed a good HR. My last few were only so-so. This one makes me want to read more and not take a break from HR anymore.
Sounds interesting Alycia! I just added it.... I noticed though...the heroine's name is Bella and her best friend's is Esme.... coincidence?? :-)
Bekah wrote: "Sounds interesting Alycia! I just added it.... I noticed though...the heroine's name is Bella and her best friend's is Esme.... coincidence?? :-)"LOL, I just picked up on Esme. I did pick up on Bella, but its a popular name right now. In fact, I was with a friend and bought this book, I have wanted to read it. I read the back cover and said "not another Bella."
Esme is Bella's fun and slightly devious french cousin. So this Esme is different. And so is Bella for that matter :)
I think you will like this one Bekah. Let me know what you think of it when you do read it.
I just finished The Lion's Lady, which I really enjoyed, although I don't think that it is Julie Garwoods best, and I am now reading First Comes Marriage, which I am not really that into. I don't really like the hero that much, although he doesn't really have that much of a "prescense" if you know what I mean, even though he is supposed to be all broody, he is just coming off all sulky and annoying!

Bekah,Just wait till you get to Destined for an Early Grave,That did it for me-Bones,Best Hero ever,Best book ever,best author ever.
The romance and action is good in all of the series but she really pours it on in this last one.
I've read the first night huntress and really liked it. I have also read
, also book 1 in a series and loved it.

I haven't either. I have only read book 1 so far, it is a really good series/will be a really good series.
Suzanne, I just got in Mary Balogh and my first book of hers was First Comes Marriage...I liked it for some reason (though it's into my usual style and yes, the hero is tough to like), really liked the overall series actually. Now I'm reading her Bedwyn family series.
I finished First Comes Marriage, it is also my first book from her. I didn't like it that much, I didn't think it was awful (gave it 3*s) and I will read on as I liked the other characters. I just found the main two a bit annoying and the romance didn't really come through for me. I have heard that her Bedwyn series is better so I may give those a go aswell.
Is anyone else reading

Alex and Daniel are half brothers. At the end of Chapter 5 (page 109) Alex takes Daniel by the hand and leads him to the bed saying "Time for dwelling on other things, my dear." Then "Halting by the side of the sumptuous bed, Alex turned and went into Daniel's arms."

In the previous books I recall them only acting like siblings nothing that indicated another type of relationship. Did I miss something?

I'm really enjoying it Alycia - I saw some of the so-so reviews and was a little worried but I'm loving it so far. I'm going to look for Provactive in Pears, I went to the back to see who the next story will be about and was totally hooked in. Who is in Sinful? I bet it's Celia. :)

Currently reading "Some Girls Bite" by Chloe Neill..I'm loving this book and can't wait to read the next in the series!

"Enjoy I loved The Bride, in fact I like most Julie Garwood's books.
I have decided to reread the Bridgerton books, as I haven't read them for a while and I am sure that I have missed a book out, so I am reading The Duke And I.
I've heard so many good things about Julie Garwood's Laird's Fiancee's series on this board that I just have to read them!I loved the Bridgerton series! There are a few of the epilogues that I still haven't read yet, but plan to!
I haven't read any of the epilogues yet, so I might get them as I go along this time. Also I haven't read any of those Whistledown books either I might give thse a try as well, if I am not all Julia Quinned out at that point!I hope you enjoy them Christine, they are good and I always find them quite funny in a simiilar way to the way I find Julia Quinn funny actuallY!

I haven't read the Whistledown books yet either, but plan to read those as well. Also have her Blydon & Lindon Sisters series on hand that I've yet to read.
I've stalled in Ten Things I Love About You and had moved on to others. I finished reading You Belong To Me and had moved on to
. I got a lot of other books to read, so I'm really trying to finish a lot of them.
I love "Again The Magic", it is so good, it has a secondary romance in it as well which is nice but rarely see in a LK book.I started reading
and so far so good!
I finished "Again the Magic" and now get to start
. Today is going to be a busy day but I hope to get some reading in. With all the hype about Simon I'm anxious to read his story.

Oh yes, I enjoyed them very much Lady Carolyn, including The Wedding. In addition, I was pleasantly surprised by Annabelle's Courtship and One Dance with a Duke. As far as HR's go I highly recommend all my recent reads…indeed.
Everyone seesm to be reading Once Dance with a Duke at the moment! I am going to have to get my hands on it soon.

I'm just guessing, but I think that with each consecutive book in the quartet, there are new information about the Black Cobra. Stephanie Laurens added this tidbit in this book as a new detail so that readers understand the motive and characters of the Black Cobra founders.
Alex and Daniel ARE brothers, but they also partake in hedonistic activities. I'm really not surprised (okay, I am a tad bit) that this came up because I expected the founders of the Black Cobra to have "bad" personalities. It may be that they take pleasure in having sexual partners of both sexes, and they also find pleasure with each other. It is a disturbing revelation, but I'll just choke it up as part of the villains' characters.
Oh, and this kind of incestuous relationship isn't really new in Lauren's books. One of the Cynster novels (I can't remember the title, but it is there) pertains to another incestuous relationship between brother and sister (sorry for the minor spoiler here). So I guess I should not be surprised about this new turn to Alex and Daniel's relationship.
E, I have several of the Cynsters but haven't read any of them yet. I'm waiting until I can get the ones I'm missing so I can read in chronological order. Thanks for the heads up on the brother\sister relationship. Even though I haven't finished reading it yet I'm considering writing a review of Brazen Bride based on my impression and thoughts so far. In a nutshell I don't think its one of her better ones. As for Alex and Daniel they are two really sick puppies. I cringe when she mentions them in bed together, the incest idea just totally creeps me out. Thanks again for the information and feedback.
