UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Also, for example, as I mentioned, I'm reading Ender's Game (Ender's Saga, #1) by Orson Scott Card . It's totally SciFi... not a romance novel at all, so far as I can tell.

Just finished it.... It was a beautiful book, and the couple was definitely unique and unlikely: I loved it, and gave it 4.5*

Grace Elliot (httpwwwgoodreadscomgraceelliot) | 68 comments Just started Eloisa James 'Desperate Duchess.'
The bizarre thing is I have this strong feeling of deja vu. I'm positive I havent bought this book before, but reading the first chapter it really feels like I've read it already...how can this be? (Unless it reminding me strongly of another book????)
Anyhow second chapter doesnt ring any bells so waiting to see what happens in chapter 3. LOL!

I enjoyed the book and I'll finish the series, but I have a feeling these will easily be added to my 'sell back' pile. Honestly, the heroine not being sure about her feelings annoyed me and IMO, she wanted too much.

MashJ | 733 comments I've just read

Ruthless (The House of Rohan, #1) by Anne Stuart which was a strong 4 star for me,

but now I must finish

The Fiery Cross (Outlander, #5) by Diana Gabaldon which is looking like a 3.5 star

and then onto

Daniel Deronda by George Eliot

I think I'll order

Sugar Daddy (Travises, #1) by Lisa Kleypas next from the library as everyone tells me not to be put off LK's contemporaries by Friday Harbour!

Worth Any Price is worth losing a bit of sleep over!!

Worth Any Price (Bow Street Runners, #3) by Lisa Kleypas


I'm still plodding through this one. I'm taking a Gabaldon break after this- it's not got the verve of Voyager.

The Fiery Cross (Outlander, #5) by Diana Gabaldon

I'm reading this one in the car (traffic works).

Madensky Square by Eva Ibbotson

Sugar Daddy (Travises, #1) by Lisa Kleypas

I'm letting it settle in my mind a bit but I think it's a solid 3 star for me - maybe a 3.5 star. Way better than CEA Friday Harbour because the location got to play a part in the story. I found the whole small town Texas aspect fascinating(with really scary food!). I had a huge amount of sympathy for Liberty dealing with bringing up her kid sister although I was worried by how deeply they had bonded from birth (as I could see L's schooling and prospects going out of the window) and frustrated that her mother let her allow school/life to slide in order to look after the baby when it was the mother's responsibility. After the mother died I thought Liberty was a star.

I found though that I had zero in common with Liberty and found her difficult to relate to. The only hair grooming products I own are a bottle of shampoo and a hairbrush so the whole beauty school thing was all a bit chick lit for me. I found Houston a lot less appealing than Welcome and the whole rags to riches thing was a bit irritating. I may have deducted a star for the mention of various designer names (Hermes/Prada anyone?) and the whole private jet asepct.

I also had the problem that I think some others may have had- I fell for Hardy hook, line and sinker and was rooting for him not Gage! I liked that he was self-made and I would have preferred to see a story about him and Liberty pulling themselves up by their boot-straps.

I guess I'll have to try Blue-Eyed Devil next as I definitely want to find out what happens to him whereas with the whole Friday Harbour thing I didn't really care what happened to the brothers.

yeah, things in Texas are kinda of that way! the b
battle of heroes cage/hardy mmm thats what made me so hesitant to read it, but i loved Smooth Talking Stranger so much that i just have to read to fill in some details.. ;)

Funnily enough a friend of our family has married the son of a wealthy Houston oil man. They have kids the same age as ours and sometimes spend the summer over here so if you are talking about the "money matters" aspect of Houston I have an inkling of what it may be like. I guess we'll have to visit sometime- we have friends in Austin too and I suspect that will be very different. I am planning on reading the series and I think Smooth Talking Stranger has an Austin connection?

Delaney Brown is a sweetie, that's for sure.

As for HEA, I plan to read that when I had the free time to do it (i.e. when life has temporarily stopped intruding in my free time). I had read the previous three except for this last one, which I DO have in my TBR pile. And I have also ranked the three thus far.

Mostly second hand on amazon, sometimes ABE. There were a few full price ones in there that weren't worth buying second hand- like Addicted. I am looking forward to that one- I definitely like a bit of angst.

Most of my purchases came from recommendations/mentions in this group.

Given that I am a huge fan of Simon Hunt and I suspect that Hardy is in a similar mould it could well be an easy sell for me!
