Carolyn F. I finished Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers, #1) by Lisa Kleypas which I absolutely loved. (I'm going to have have to get a thesaurus - I keep "loving" everything). Now I'm reading A Perfect Darkness (Offspring, #1) by Jaime_Rush .

I got half way through the first Cynster novel Devil's Bride (Cynster, #1) by Stephanie Laurens and decided that I had way better stuff on my shelf to read. Of my limited experience with SL her male characters are all the same and it just gets tedious after a while. Just my personal opinion of course but I don't think that SL is a patch on LK or Mary Balogh.

I know this might seem inconsistent compared to my previous comments on MB but I think that she is extremely talented but patchy in her output and I'd rather read that than SL- I couldn't believe how well put together . A Precious Jewel (Dark Angel, #6) by Mary Balogh was and something like that could never come from the pen of SL.

PS I'm one of those people who'll happily argue over anything without taking it personally so I hope I'm not offending anyone by not liking some authors.


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 630 comments Nah, everyone has different tastes, it makes the world more interetsing : )

I have only read one Mary Balogh book, First Comes Marriage, but I didn't think it was that good, but I will try Precious Jewel and see if I like that one better.

I am going to order the next Mallory book, I can't believe I forgot it was coming out!

Alycia | 1478 comments I like to read Mary Balogh, but she is hit or miss. I do not like everything I have read by her but I am always compelled for some reason to try some new book or at least not give up on her.


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 630 comments She's a new author to me, I didn't dislike it intensley or anything, I just found it a bit boring TBH, but she has written a lot of books so I am going to give her a second chance!

I would definitely agree with you there. Here books are definitely more dry than other hr authors.

Robin  | 361 comments Mshj, If we all liked the same author it would be like all of us thinking exactly alike and in my humble opinion it would take some if not all of the interesting out of life. This group is good about allowing people to have their opinions and even though they may state a different view they don't flame you for disagreeing with them.

As for SL I read her Bastion Club and loved it although I did notice the males tend to always have certain qualities that they all possess. Black Cobra was good until as previously stated the recent release which is the 3rd. My apology's but I think someone gave her a Thesaurus and she's having entirely to much fun with it. When describing something she seems to do it in all possible ways. I haven't noticed her doing this before.

I discovered LK and the Hathaways about the same time as Mary Balogh and the Huxtables. I've read MB in some anthologies as well but don't think I've read any novels besides Huxtable Series. I do like her though.

Carol, I just purchased Tessa Dare's new book. Is it good? Still waiting for Love in the Afternoon to arrive. Have many books awaiting in the mail! I am soo bad, I cannot stop ordering books; it's like an addiction! But I guess it's a good one! All I seem to do is read....I am presently reading Keegan's Lady by Catherine Anderson, it's historical. Anyone read her books?


message 761: by Katherine (new)

Katherine | 828 comments I read Keegan's Lady awhile ago and really liked it.

I enjoyed 'One Dance with A Duke' very much. I had not read any of Tessa Dare's books before but I will certainly be reading the other two in this series.

One of my friends on Goodreads has recommended Catherine Anderson and is going to let me have some ebooks.


Christine (Cagnes) (cagnes) | 223 comments Started High Country Bride (McKettricks, #1) by Linda Lael Miller & loving it so far!

Thanks Peg. I have Comanche Moon, Comanche Heart, Indigo Blue, Comanche Magic, Annie's Song and Keegan's Lady.


message 768: by [deleted user] (new)

Carol, I am presently reading Kegan's Lady. I believe that is the first in her historical series about the Kendrick/Coulter families. The next one is Summer Breeze and then Early Dawn. Then she starts with the moder Kendrick/Coulter series beginning with Baby Love, etc. I heard Annie's Song is very good. Comanche Moon, Heart, Magic and Indigo Blue is another one of her series. I purchased Indigo Blue in WalMart the other day; don't have the others. I think you will like her.

Oh yeah, also listening to audio book The Man from Stone Creek (Stone Creek, #1) by Linda Lael Miller .

That was quite fun- I preferred the other two in the series, however her more recent novels didn't work for me.

Thanks Peg.


Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie* (httpsrakesandrascalswordpresscom) | 2140 comments I've just finished Love in the Afternoon (The Hathaways, #5) by Lisa Kleypas and loved it. I am currently reading Dance With The Devil (Dark-Hunter, #4) by Sherrilyn Kenyon which I got from the library.


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 630 comments Just finished reading The Pirate Lord and I liked it very much am going to buy the next one and read it immdiatley! If it is better then this one then I can't wait!

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments I read and LOVED Love in the Afternoon (The Hathaways, #5) by Lisa Kleypas and I just finished Under Fire (Firefighters of Station Five, #2) by Jo Davis . I need another romantic suspense, so I think I'll continue the firefighter series and go with Hidden Fire (Firefighters of Station Five, #3) by Jo Davis . I can't do another historical romance while I'm waiting for Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage (Highland Pleasures, #2) by Jennifer Ashley . I need to switch genres in between books or they all start running together.


message 779: by Katherine (new)

Katherine | 828 comments Suzanne, I am liking it so far. I love the thought of a magic perfume. Lord Westcliff needs a little push. :)


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 630 comments lol more like a giant shove I think! I like him though, not quite as much as Simon Hunt, although that might be because I have read his book recently and not Westcliffs!

I found Marcus very duty lead and reluctant to get involved with Lillian (although the way in which he cracked was very amusing). As Simon was more of a rulebreaker you would expect him to be tougher and yet he had an unexpected vulnerability to Annabelle and that gave him a real charm.

I have finally given in and have now just bought another copy of The Devil in Winter as mine seems to have gone missing : (

I found these new covers though for the Wallflower series! What do you think of them?


message 783: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Secrets of a Summer night is cute! It Happened One Autumn is kind of ethereal looking. Devil in Winter, the background is beautiful, but Evie looks... tiny. I guess she was, right?


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 630 comments I don't like It Happened One Autumn that much, for a start they have a woman with red hair when Lily has dark. Although I guess they were going with autumey colours. I like Secrets of a Summer Night and the Devil in Winter though.

Yes I think Evie was quite petite

I agree. The same thing happens to me when I read one kind of romance back to back for a while. What are you going to read to switch it up, Dhes?

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments I read Born on the 4th of July (Includes Men Out of Uniform, #6.5) by Jill Shalvis and thought all 3 stories were good. Now tonight I'll start Lady Isabella.

Damn, so many books, so little time.

No kidding! Never enough time and always adding more to read. I will have to take a look at this Blaze book you mentioned.

Katherine | 828 comments I just finished It Happened One Autumn (Wallflowers, #2) by Lisa Kleypas . I was really enjoying this book till the St. Vincent incident happened. That ruined the whole book for me. It just seemed out of character even for a desparate man.

Anyway starting One Dance with a Duke (Stud Club, #1) by Tessa Dare .

message 792: by Becky (new)

Becky (beckysbusyreading) | 320 comments I am a newbie to goodreads and am enjoying reading the reviews of books. My favorite author is LK and I have read almost all of her books. I finished Love in the Afternoon last week and loved it!! I then read Seven Secrets of Seduction, which was OK, now I am working on Julie Garwood's For the Roses. I also started Shanna but I am having a hard time liking the lead Heroine and have set it aside. Since I am almost finished with FTR I don't know what to start next. Any suggestions?

Hi Becky, so glad you joined. Here are some recs to check out.
Her Ladyship's Companion by Evangeline Collins , One Dance with a Duke (Stud Club, #1) by Tessa Dare , The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie (Highland Pleasures, #1) by Jennifer Ashley & Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage (Highland Pleasures, #2) by Jennifer Ashley , I have Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean but haven't read it yet. It has gotten really good reviews here and everyone says its funny. I also suggest checking out Judith McNaught's historicals. I loved A Kingdom of Dreams (Westmoreland, #1) by Judith McNaught . I also recommend Ravishing in Red (The Rarest Blooms, #1) by Madeline Hunter and One Week as Lovers by Victoria Dahl . I guess I gave you a variety of HR to choose from :)


message 794: by Katherine (new)

Katherine | 828 comments Becky definitely read Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean , it's a great story and very funny. You can't go wrong with a McNaught historical either.
