I'm waiting until I have the next 2 before I start this one. I read Texas Destiny (Texas Trilogy, Book 1) by Lorraine Heath Texas Glory (Texas Trilogy, Book 2) by Lorraine Heath Texas Splendor (Texas Trilogy, Book 3) by Lorraine Heath back to back. I would have gone crazy if I hadn't had them all.

But I have all three of the Rogues in Texas, thank goodness:-) I actually just finished Never Love a Cowboy (Rogues in Texas, #2) by Lorraine Heath , and it was just as good... so heart-wrenching! I think I'm going to give my poor heart a break before getting to Kit's story tomorrow!! I am so happy I love LH! I wouldn't have known what to do with all my books otherwise, lol

You'll want Texas Splendor, Melanie. Some things from the earlier book are resolved there.

Guess I'll wait till I move to the US this summer then (I can only find it at thriftbooks, and I'd need to pay shipping costs:-( ):-) All those library sales:-) **rubs hands gleefully** and free shipping from thriftbooks and ebay... A whole new world of possibilities!!:-)

Lisa Kay - I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did:-)

I'm going to reread Dying to Please by Linda Howard before bed... It's been a while and I remember really enjoying it:-)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Since Lover Unleashed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #9) by J.R. Ward comes out Tuesday, I'll need to be done reading whatever I'm reading by then.

I'm almost done with Highlander Unchained (MacLeods of Skye Trilogy, #3) by Monica McCarty and LOVING it, then I'm going to read some shorts - probably You Send Me by Toni Blake and Enigma (Prologue to Live Wire) by Lora Leigh


Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie* (httpsrakesandrascalswordpresscom) | 2140 comments I've pre-ordered Lover Unleashed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #9) by J.R. Ward for my Kindle and so hopefully it will be downloaded automatically.

D.G. At the pace that I'm reading the BDB, I'll be ready to read LU by the end of the year. :)

I'm reading now When a Man Loves a Weapon. There's something about this book that doesn't feel like the other two in the series...

Melanie (melaina) | 638 comments Finished Dying to Please by Linda Howard and it was just as good as the first time:-)

I'm so looking forwards to Lover Unleashed! I'll have to read the last two books to remember everything, but really looking forwards to it!

i found the Putney a dull and tired MOC story. she has done much better.

The Quick is a classic, a light read.

The best part about starting late on a popular series is that you have so many yummy books to look forward to!

I'm barely up to book #4, Dhes and I'll probably read it in a month or so (just requested it from the library.)

Since this is a re-read, what do you think of them. Excellent, good, ok?

Well I really enjpyed my first read by her- which must have been Ruthless and then tried a couple of others to find them also very enjoyable although the heroes were a bit samey. Hated the contemporary of hers I tried- terribly thin plot and fluffy female and horrible hero. Then I tried this one and just found the hero unbearable. I'd have admired the heroine a lot more if she hadn't been so wet and just gone along with his evil plot! Maybe I'll come back to her historicals later but this whole "how mean can the hero be" thing has hit my limit- this was too mean!

I haven't read any of MJP's paranormals and I'm not particularly tempted. Are any of them recommended?

I tried the first but wasn't grabbed. I'm not in the majority.


message 3186: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments I was worried about MJP because I had read some of her shorter stories and while they were good, they weren't great. So when I read Thunder and Roses, I was kind of nervous, but ended up liking it! I finally posted the review today, as a matter of fact, and gave you a shout out, Mshj!

ok, gotcha!!! I think that sort of mean hero needs to be taken in doses.

Dhes, I'm on page 63, about half way through the first story. It's really HOT AND SPICY ! Probably quite tame although for a SMUTAHOLIC like you! The stories are set against the background of the French court of Louis XIV and so it makes a pleasant change from England.

**blushes**

I finished reading Highlander Unchained (MacLeods of Skye Trilogy, #3) by Monica McCarty last night and some of those scenes had me fanning myself!! I love it when mainstream romance can heat up the pages without being too graphic.

I read the first 5 or 6 just to get the vernacular of everyone's cray-cray. They kinda made me want to gouge my eyes out but I can understand the appeal. I just dont share it.

T&R is one of her definitive works. If u dont like that, u aint gonna like MJP.

Oh, I'm also going to receive Lover Unleashed this week! definitely looking forwards to it!
I just received The Tea Rose in the mail this morning:-)

And finished My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult last night.. I actually had to wake up my boyfriend to hold me because I was crying so hard, lol.. Poor guy.. He's like "but WHY do you read books or watch movies you KNOW are sad?"... I just pat him on the chest and tell him he wouldn't understand, lol
