I've read some very good reviews about this book.

Enjoy Carol! :)

Actually, I think it's the opposite. Ladies of that time were expected to get married without love being part of the equation...in the case of Holly, though, she fell in love with a man who loved her and was happy with him until he died. In this book though, the heroine is forced to marry a guy and then demands he love her. She constantly says how he's unworthy and she could never love him, deprecates sex and thinks badly of the hero because he likes it (I mean c'mon!) so I wondered why does she want him to love her?

The falling in love fell forced - it seemed it was love me or else and that's why I didn't believe it.

Ye-es but there was that whole Byronic idealism about love. "She walks in Beauty" etc

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments It's such a good read! Mac is just wonderful, Isabella is NOT a TSTL heroine at all and of course, all those visits with Ian are such a treat.

Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 630 comments I am currently reading Dead in the Family (Sookie Stackhouse, #10) by Charlaine Harris , not sure how much I really like it, I am oer halfway through and yet nothing seems to be happening, it feels like a filler book to me.


message 966: by Aimee (new)

Aimee (facere323) | 31 comments I reserved A Kingdom of Dreams (Westmoreland, #1) by Judith McNaught at the library and was upset ot see that there was a wait list. But resolved to wait instead of buying it. Well....I went to Goodwill thift store today and walking into the book section what was the first book on the shelf? That's right. A Kingdom of Dreams for $1! So I'll be starting it today. It's fate, I tell you!


message 967: by Laura (new)

Laura (laurastamps) Aimee, wow, that is a sign for sure! I'm gonna buy a paperback copy of "Lady Sophia's Lover" at BAM on Friday for my Keeper Shelf. I borrowed it from a friend when I read that series last month.

I agree. It seemed to me just a book to tie up loose ends left by the previous one. I won't complain though, Eric Northman is yummy! ;)

Just can't let Sir Ross out of your clutches, can you?;)


message 970: by Laura (new)

Laura (laurastamps) Rats! You got me, gf! Yeah, I've done that before when I borrow books from you I read and adore. "Colters' Woman" was one. And there have been about 10 others of yours I read and knew I would love to read over and over again. They get me through periods where I've read a bunch meh books in a row and I'm desperate for a good one. ;)

Auntee | 152 comments We've gotta find you a new Kleypas hero...I'm thinkin' you're going to love one of the Wallflower guys...but who?:)


message 972: by Laura (new)

Laura (laurastamps) Ya know, I'm really looking forward to those cause your reviews have been so fab and teasing. So many of those heroes sound like great guys. Tell me who you think I would go for and then when I read the seris I'll tell ya who rings my bell.

Auntee | 152 comments I think you'll go for Sebastian, from Devil in Winter.

I think Marcus from It Happened One Autumn will be too arrogant/argumentative for you (although he's quite the lover) and maybe Simon (from Secrets of a Summer Night) will be a little too alpha (and maybe wrong for you physically). But I loved 'em all!


message 974: by Laura (new)

Laura (laurastamps) Love that name...Sebastian. You could be right. That's the kinda name that makes this SexWitch purrrrr....! lol

And you're right about me not liking the arrogant or Alpha. Shivrs! lol


message 975: by Auntee (new)

Auntee | 152 comments Well we'll see just who you purrrr for--probably all of them at some point!:D


message 976: by Laura (new)

Laura (laurastamps) Possibly, but Grant and Nick both pissed me off in "Bow Street." I think everyone knows how I feel about Derek Craven (shivers!). Most readers adored Nick and Derek. Okay, it doesn't take much these days to piss me off if a man is an Alpha. ;)

So if you think it's gonna be Sebastian and you do know me verrrry well, you are probably right. Of course this means I have to go through all the seasons to get to him, right? Oh, well... lmao!


message 977: by Auntee (new)

Auntee | 152 comments Yeah, you'll have to go thru all the 'seasons'!:D It won't take you long though--a couple of days max!


message 978: by Laura (new)

Laura (laurastamps) Cool! I'm looking forward to it, gf!!

Carolyn F. I finished Shade (Shade, #1) by Jeri Smith-Ready , which was a really good book.

Dhes - I am enjoying it so far but it definitely doesn't compare to her 'Knight Miscellany' series which I loved.

I'm pretty sure I have Lady Sophia's Lover. I might have to bump that up on my TBR list. I try to spread out my LK books. I'm running out.

I read her school teacher series. They were good, but just good. I found myself a little bored and finished the series because I had them.

I generally love Mary Wine's Highlanders. This one, being the first book in the series, seemed a bit slow in places.


Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie* (httpsrakesandrascalswordpresscom) | 2140 comments I've just finished Mrs. Pollifax on the China Station (Mrs. Pollifax, Book 6) by Dorothy Gilman which I really enjoyed. Just starting Comanche Moon (Comanche, #1) by Catherine Anderson today.

I think I read two of that series...I refused to read the one about Miss Martin because I thought she was byotch.


message 995: by D.G. (last edited Aug 02, 2010 06:05AM) (new)

D.G. I finished two books since I last posted here:
Upon a Wicked Time (An Avon Romantic Treasure) by Karen Ranney - A solid read...the heroine was delightful but the hero got on my nerves.
Beyond Heaving Bosoms The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels by Sarah Wendell - Non fiction guide to romance. Very, very funny. I almost PIMP laughing...romance readers should read this.

Now I'm reading Slow Heat in Heaven by Sandra Brown , a really good contemporary.

Hers was actually pretty good. I really liked her hero and the story line. The better book of the series I think.

I didn't find it that great. The best part was the end when Connor and Quinn kissed her. My poor little brain danced off to menage and hot Highlanders! LOL! So I think that was the best of the book for me.
