I love her books that one included....

I only skim if I've lost interest and just feel I need to finish it.

Bekah (bekah317) | 2750 comments I watched the movie I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore and LOVED it. Has anyone read the book and what did you think??

I also fell in love with Alex Pettyfer and found out he's the guy in Beastly by Alex Flinn which is another book I've been thinking about reading. Is it worth it??? Anyone?

D.G. Beastly is wonderful. I really enjoyed it. :)

Melanie (melaina) | 638 comments Bekah - Loved Jill Shalvis' Pacific Heat books!! I'd put off reading them after a miss with Smart & Sexy, but they were amazing.. Wish she would write more of them!! 4.5* and 5*..

As for LF's Never Too Much, really enjoyed it! I'd loved the first book (Noah and Grace), and I loved Ben and Sierra too: 4*.. Lori Foster is peculiar in the way that her plots aren't fabulous (except for the SBC series), but the writing and characters are great:-D

 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 3737 comments I'm reading One Night with a Spy (Royal Four, #3) by Celeste Bradley , and it's really good. I had to make myself put the book down and go to bed last night. I am not happy with something the hero does, which I will likely expound upon in my review. I forgot how much I like Celeste Bradley.

Currently reading Betraying Season (Leland Sisters, #2) by Marissa Doyle and am somewhat disappointed in it so far:-( Heroine is so far a simpering miss and hero a weak-willed son...

Heidi, loved this book although I didn't think it was quite as heartbreaking as Comanche Moon and Comanche Heart. Still have to read Comanche Magic. Might read this after I've finished the Wallflowers series.

Heidi | 871 comments I'm sure I will go right into Comanche Magic after I am thru with Indigo Blue. I like to read them all in order, and just downloaded it to my kindle so I can have it when Im ready.


message 3788: by Amanda (new)

Amanda | 18 comments Just finished Comanche Magic and I was a little disappointed. I LOVED all of the other books in the series but this one was too emotional, not enough happening. Now reading The Secret by Julie Garwood and loving it so far. I love the Scottish Highlands and their no-nonsense, hunky men!

Amanda, I was thinking of starting on that one tonight. Good to hear you enjoyed it!

I just finished the novella Unlocked last night. Really good, and does a lot in the short space provided.

You should definitely read all her other books, they're just as good (well, IMO Castles was a bit of a disappointment compared to her other books)!! After the Highland series, read The Prize or Lion's Lady!! She also has some CR books that are great!

Since coming to Italy, I've read I Can See You (book #10) by Karen Rose Waking Nightmare (Mindhunters, #1) by Kylie Brant Hard to Hold (Hold trilogy, #1) by Stephanie Tyler The Gift (Crown's Spies, #3) by Julie Garwood The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot Never Trust A Rogue (Heiress in London, #2) by Olivia Drake and currently reading Rescue Me (Last Chance Rescue, #1) by Christy Reece

Audrey,
I have been afraid of trying this author (Garwood) not having read anything by her before. What a fool I was! You have got to read this book!

Audrey (odderie) | 25 comments Amanda, I haven't read any Garwood yet, so "The Secret" will be my first. I'll probably start it this week or the next.

Right now, I'm in the middle of Beau Crusoe, which is really good.

Sounds great, Laura! Honestly, I don't typically read historicals set prior to 1750s-ish. There are just certain everyday life conveniences/practices that I am used to having in the book. Besides her contemporaries, do you know if Julie Garwood writes outside of the medieval period/can you recommend any?
