How is the new series by Madeline Hunter, the one with the flowers? My library has the first two books in audiobooks so I want to give them a try.
I don't know if I've read any Jo Goodman...maybe I should give a her a try.

I thought the Rarest Blooms series was comparable in quality to the Rothwell series. Both Bk 3s feature a less than rich hero.
Good luck on Goodman.

ohh i will be bumping her up in my list ASAP! ;) XXXXXX





Got on a Lynn Veihl kick this month. Finished the Darkyn series. Aftet this one, I'm on to the Marjorie M. Liu series.


Have you gals checked out EH's web site. She has preveiw of her next book due out in November...

http://www.elizabethhoyt.com/books/sc...

Oh... my three cents: EH is a great author! I loved her Princes, liked her Four Soldiers, and love her Maiden Lane books (so far!!)
And Christina Dodd also has a couple great books (It's been a while, but I think I really enjoyed her Governess Brides and her Switching Places books).. Oh, and of course there's Celeste Bradley and Liz Carlyle who are also great:-D Oh, and Kresley Cole... I'm waiting to start If you desire after reading and LOVING If you dare!! Currently reading a RS book by Karen Rose though..


Dodd: read a few bks. Stopped reading her altogether when she put out 7 bks in one yr and all she seemed to care about was cranking them out.
Celeste Bradley: I dont like spy regencies but when she started writing regular regencies, they lost that something.
Carlyle: talented but frustrating writer for me. Her earliest bks are her best.

Dodd: read a few bks. Stopped reading her altogether when she ..."
I'm the opposite. The Four Soldiers were better for me than the Princes. I really didn't like that last prince book, but I also wasn't overly fond of the last soldier book either.
Totally agree on the cranking them out comment. That really bothers me about some authors. I know that there are some authors I just want more and more and more from but really quality over quantity counts for much!

I'm glad to have found a new HR author.




That's one of my all-time favorites, Dhestiny. Hope you're enjoying it.:-)

I just finished it, Julie, and it was wonderful!! I adore Houston and even Dallas for understanding.

Hoyt- yep, agree The Leopard Prince was wonderful- no idea what happened in the 4 soldiers and not inclined to try Maiden Lane
Dodd- never tried- been meaning to- maybe not though!
Bradley- never tried- will investigate
Carlyle- yes- highly recommended in some ways but totally lacking direction in others. Avoid her latest book- it's a rehash of previous books/characters with some sort of added paranormal bit that really doesn't work.

I agree that Dodd was putting out a few too many... I did like the first 5 or so in the Governess Brides (between 3 and 4.5*), and her CR books were good IMO, although I didn't hook on the PNR (too many directions in too short a time):-D
BTW, I also really enjoyed a couple of Samantha James' books... I don't know if you've read any?



did you read the kyndred ones? I finished the first one last night. I saw some pretty bad reviews of it, even one that mentioned some Dom/sub lifestyle. I think that reviewer was confused! Lol! There was only one such scene and nothing that indicated a desire for that lifestyle.
glad I didn't skip bc of that review.

I didn't like it either. I ended up skimming it.

One Touch of Scandal
Never heard of Samantha James- will investigate.


she is fab. nobody does swashbuckling HRs like her.

SJ is as big a hack as Dodd. Maybe worse.

A number of us have read this one and loved it:


I'm one of those. That was such an exciting book!
I have sequel on my TBR...hope to read it soon. :)

It definitely buckeled my swashes. I like it when the girl gets to be a pirate instead of a victim!

ooh, thanks for the rec! Pirates and tough girls, love it!!

she was the Alpha and the hero was The Girl

really? I've only read three or four of her books, like I said, but I found them enjoyable... Not LK material, but 3.5-4.5* IMO..

Glad to hear it, Dhestiny. Houston was a sweetheart. I just loved him. Even though Dallas was my least favorite of the brothers, I still really enjoyed his book. The whole series is a keeper for me.:-)
