I'm reading My Sweet Folly. The prologue was amazing and had me almost in tears...and then the book took a really weird turn for the next 100 pgs that had me thinking....say wha? But I guess the author had to make up a conflict because the H/h were already in love before chapter one.

on the train back from my ski day:-) But I finally found
at the bookstore, yay:-p And I also read
yesterday.
Read
last night... 5* and 4*... And wow! Never Seduce a Scoundrel was steamier than I remember, lol.. that "Barbary pirate" scene? phew!
Nearly finished Outlanderand it occurs to me that the plot is being set up for a sequel...mixed feelings cos I like a series but also I like a self contained story. Going back to LK next...havent decided which yet!
I just finished The Tea Rose and The Winter Rose The Tea Rose The Winter Rose by Jennifer Donnelly. Great books! Both are epic books that I loved almost as much as Bronze Horseman and Outlander. In Winter Rose, Sid Malone (Baxter, Charlie Finnegan) reminds me of Jaime Frasier (Alexander MacKenzie, MacDub). Both are fierce, red headed warrior types who resort to sometimes unsavory activities all for the greater good. Both survived whippings and prison torture to reunite with their true loves - strong female characters. Two thumbs up!
Reread
, loved it just as much as the first time I read it, and (thank goodness!) FINALLY finished
: turns out I just had to sit down with a cup of tea and finish those last 200 pages!

She is (from the author's website). I really liked Willa but I wanted to see her future achievements be unrestricted- given how limiting a women's life was at the turn of the last century I thought Donnelly was pretty mean to write her in a disability. Let's see how it goes though.
"This third and final part of the Rose saga follows Seamie’s and Willa’s story, introduces a few new characters, and – of course! – brings back a few old ones."
After reading about so much poverty in the last two books, I don't know that I care for two spoiled rich brats that are only looking for fame. I mean, who cares who gets to do something first?I think I'll read it only if WWI is a big part of the plot. There will be enough suffering for them both and they'll see how easy they've both had it all their lives.
(As you can see, I didn't care much for either.)
Alycia, everyone talks about Devil in Winter, but I just loved the story in Secrets of a Summer Night! I loved DIW too, but something about SofaSN just touched my heart.

I'm doing really well on my "new author" reads this month. This is the third one so far!
These books are good. I'm enjoying them, but I've also wanted to slap the H & h several times. In book one she was just so over the top about him and he was too "what's right for the team". I'm enjoying the story though.
Finished The Darkly Luminous Fight for Persephone Parker (Strangely Beautiful, #2). Teh story, the idea behind the story was really, really good but the romance was just bleh. The dialogue was almost too over the top and melodramatic. The "loves" and "darlings" and blah, blah, blah, blahs were just too much. I think, had it been writeen as a paranormal without any romance, or if the romance was a side thought, it would have been really, really good. Also, some of the characters were somewhat flat. A rather important person to the story line dies in this book and I was not moved at all. Three stars.

I am reading Wicked Intentions and all I can say so far is "Wow!" This book is great. I am in the alleyways with the H&H on this one. I am only in the middle of Chapter 4, but I am very involved.
