Melanie, I have been thinking about reading a Karen Rose book. I'm glad you liked it.I am currently reading
. Liking it so far.

Ohhhhh, Melanie. My library has that one available for audio download to my computer. Hummmmmm. The only problem/question is: Can it fit into one of my challenges??

Autumn wrote: "finished 
its been a long time a novel gives me misty eyes.. great book."So glad to see another fan for this wonderful book. It was a hidden gem for me when I found it, and now it's my all-time favorite contemporary romance.
Melanie wrote: "Read 
last night... Solid 4*"I think I'm the only person that just detested this book. I thought it was horrible and a copy of Sleeping With the Enemy.
Finished
. Not sure yet what to read next...

Bekah - Never saw Sleeping With the Enemy, so that might be why I enjoyed it:-)
Finished
: 3.5*, honestly found it a little disappointing!
Just finished
by Connie Brockway (who's one of my fave authors since three weeks, lol) and loved it!

Melanie wrote: "Just finished by Connie Brockway (who's one of my fave authors since three weeks, lol) and loved it!"that was like her first or 2nd novel. didnt like it :-(
I finally decided on reading a short one:The Shy Bride (Traditional Greek Husbands, #1).Life's intrusions sucks.
Starting
Loved the first in the series so I know this will be just as good.
Katherine wrote: "Starting Loved the first in the series so I know this will be just as good."I love this book. It is my favorite one she has written so far.
Autumn wrote: "Melanie wrote: "Just finished by Connie Brockway (who's one of my fave authors since three weeks, lol) and loved it!"ahh Melanie you couldnt be in better hand..."
Lol... I ordered her backlist:-D I just can't believe I've put off reading her for 6 months!!!:-D
@ Seton - It might not have been my fave by CB (lacking the angst of AYD or the Rose-Hunters IMO), but it was just such a sweet & well-written story:-) Which was your fave CB?
Fiona wrote: "Katherine wrote: "Starting Loved the first in the series so I know this will be just as good."I love this book. It is my favorite one she has written so far. "
Me too! :-)
@Melanie -- my fave CB is AYD. By a mile.
Just finished rereading
, and loved it just as much this time as the first time I read it... Great book!@Seton - I think most everyone's fave is AYD:-D Have you tried the Rose Hunters though?
I've just finished reading
and I really enjoyed it!! And now I'm about to read
.
@Melanie -- I've tried the Rose Hunters. Didnt hold my interest. @E. -- thought THE SHY BRIDE was pretty dull.
Finished Stolen by the Sheikh. Not as raunchy as I would like my smut to be. Pretty much a THE SHEIK ripoff.
I just finished
and now reading
.Ronyell, Hope you love St. Vincent!!!! I love him!
I'm reading
by day and
by night!
Dhestiny, Just looking at the covers; it would seem they should be the other way round. LOL!
Lisa Kay wrote: "Dhestiny, Just looking at the covers; it would seem they should be the other way round. LOL!"Yeah, except Saddled and Spurred is a naughty read, so I hide that one until night when I've gone to bed.
I don't want my kids to know what a smutaholic I am.
What! You a smutaholic Dhestiny. I never would have guessed!!!

Ah Destiny, so that's how you keep your smutty secrets!

Ronyell, I hope you enjoy DIW. I guess I am willing to share St. Vincent with you!I must say I have found another PNR series to glom, The Dragonfire series by Deborah Cooke. I'm reading Darkfire Kiss, and I love what she does with dragons here. The hero is awesome too. He's a thinking woman's paranormal romance hero, sexy but not all id like some of them can be.
I finished Lover Awakened. Man what a book!Now I don't know what to read...I definitely don't feel like reading any romance (I get like that sometimes.)
I'm reading
after seeing someone here recommending it: halfway through and loving it:-D Gotta say, I'm relieved to find I like LH, because I'd ordered all of her backlist when I first heard of her! Phew!:-p
I'm reading
as recommended to me on good reads. It's very enjoyable - light and funny. Way better than
that I finished last night- I'm swiftly going off Anne Stuart.
Just finished
.. Fabulous story!!!! Loved it, and am soo looking fowards to the next two books!

Oh, Autumn, that is such a tough question.
Here's the thing, this series is a spinoff of the Drake Sisters series and there are a lot of mentions of the Drake Sisters. As I was reading Water Bound, I kept thinking how I wish I had read Drake Sisters first so I could know who they were, their powers, their relationships, etc.
The thing is, I read the first Drake Sisters story,
but I digress...
So I'm kind of not sure what to tell you. I've decided to go back and try the Drake Sisters again before I read the next book in the Sea Haven series.
Now, I do love Feehan's Carpathians,
Wow... a lot more information than you were asking for!
And the thing with Sea Haven series, I didn't miss anything by reading Water Bound first, in that I wasn't lost, but there were a lot of references to the Drake sisters and I think that had I read their stories first, it would have enhanced Water Bound for me.
