oh yes!! it was a good book!! ;)
Yes- I loved it- 5 star I think - must've been a couple of months since I gave a five star. I think I pulled it off your favourites actually Seton!- knowing that we often have similar taste.BTW- on the personality types- he is ENTJ (classic manipulator) and she is INTP (typical egghead).
It's hard to go wrong during LK's middle perios starting w/ MIDSUMMER and ending with MY SWEET FOLLY. Then she started getting burnt out and hasnt been the same since. Sigh.That Cerise Deland I read reeked. I only mention it b/c I saw it on ur WL, Bekah ;-)
Off to reading my Harlequin crack now . . .
Which are Kinsale's best books? I've read Flowers from the Storm, The Shadow and the Star, Uncertain Magic and Seize the Fire (which I surprisingly enjoyed, seeing as they're stranded on an Arctic island for months, lol).. Any others I have to read?I just got back from London, and read
(3* - what's with the ending??)and
both 5* reads that went straight to my favorites shelf... I loved that trilogy!

Where's home Melanie?

Actually, any LK is worth reading, She only wrote 11 bks sadly.
I've just read Sweet Release by Pamela Clare and it was excellent. Two 5 star reads in a weekend- unheard of!!

She's still writing so she may put out some more good stuff.

I have Midsummer's Moon, Prince of Midnight and Lessons in French I haven't read yet, so I seem to be set:-D
I also have this one book she wrote in medieval language? I only got 10pages into it before it started grating on my nerves - Actually, seton, it was For My Lady's Heart.. is it worth working through the language?

"yes, the dialogue is in olde/middle english. it takes a while to get the hang of it but i thought it was worth it. Ruck was the perfect knight, honorable to a fault, but he shows that it's not a weakness when up against the more cut-throat melisande.

I'm not sure how similar our taste is but if you like a book with a bit of heft to it wordcount wise, an actual plot beyond the romance and strong capable female characters you could well love it.
It was really nice that it was set in the US too. This one was both well researched (or so it seemed to me) and an interesting location that is underused in historicals. It's strange really- you'd have thought that there would be more interest in "local history" settings but maybe people prefer escapism.
I'm digressing again- it's a wonderful book- report in when you've read it! BTW- it's a nail biter so don't start it when you've only got odd half hours available.
I'm starting to think about holiday reads now as I'll be in (sort of )Spain over Easter.
I'm currently reading
for the Drake Sisters story.I'm also reading
which my daughter is reading for her college history class. It sounds really good so as soon as she's through writing her paper, I'll dive into it.

I intend to read the Wallflower series so it's an excellent excuse to re-read (for about the sixth time) the prequel, my all time favourite Lisa Kleypas book

I've added that to my amazon wish list because I've heard such good things about it!!!
Is it adult, YA... sex, no sex, violence, no violence?
Its contemporary romance Dhes. its very deep story with many layers to peel. Even though is about a male escort,the plot revolves about the why`s and how`s hes been leading that kind of life. when he falls for the heroine is when the real challenge starts.. I have to say it made cry. the honest,matter of fact way the story is delivered just makes u feel for him,and her. it just raises a lot of questions about our capacity to love beyond our preconceived ideas,prejudice, and stereotypes .. i hope u like it.
Ditched The Perfect Wife now reading The Proposition. Please be good! For the love of G-d be good. I freaking miss reading a four/five star book dammit. Autumn that book sounds really gutwrenching. I've added it to my TBR pile! :)
Oh, Melody, I didn't like
and gave it 2 stars. I usually rate high, so what does that tell you?Autumn,
sounds kinda of interesting, but is there rape in it? If it is a spoiler, you want you can e-mail me the answer.

I finished
and ended up loving it. It's a 4 star read because Ms. Feehan can be a bit wordy sometimes.Rikki is autistic and her "quirks" were quite endearing, but I don't think it was done quite as well as Ian Mackenzie was. I'm not sure why... maybe it was just different, or maybe because she's a female I didn't quite feel the need to take care of her like I did Ian. Does that make sense?
But I did love her and Lev a lot.
Yeah, I've decided that what it was. Rikki being a female didn't quite compel me the way Ian did, but I LOVED how Lev took care of her and loved everything about her, even her quirks.

I'm liking it so far...I think some of her new books are kinda formulaic, but they're enjoyable and I've always loved her writing style so it doesn't bother me.

Yeah, I know... I'm usually generous with my stars, but lately, having read some great books, I'm bringing up my standards... But Grace also really got on my nerves (except for her job, which I found cute), along with Natalie, and to some measure, Margaret... The only one I did like was Callahan, lol..
Sounds like I need to add Fallen From Grace to my TBR:-D and maybe read Water Bound since I have it:-)... Autumn, could you PM me to let me know if there is a rape scene though? I'm not crazy about that! Thanks!!!
