between two bouts of napping on the train:-D
Well i got done reading Tempt Me at Twilight Now I am starting to read Cherish by Catherine Anderson
Shannon - What did you think of TMaT? It's my fave of the Hathaways series!! And Cherish is very sweet!! Enjoy:-D

Mshj, I am struggling through this book, it is taking me forever to finish it. The pacing is SO slow. And I don't like the heroine. I think she is well written, but I can't stand her cold and callous behavior. I honestly don't know if I can finish this one.

The first book,

was good, but not as good as the first one. I haven't laughed (in a good way!) so much while reading in a long time. I still have to read the Jane Jamison series and am excited to start it. I really enjoyed her other series. I just started
this morning, and it is hot! as expected, lol. I love cowboys :)
Just finished Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption which was astounding. I am supposed to start A Game of Thrones but I think I need something lighter first, so just got Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake from the library.

I sympathise- I got there in the end but it didn't light my fire. It did improve towards the end though but I never really warmed to them despite understanding the complicated life she was leading. I have the second in the series ready to read...............it stars the baddy from this book!
I agree that her writing is good and I also like that she likes writing about difficult characters/plots. Unfortunately when you take risks like that they sometimes don't work.
I'm reading The Peach Keeper and listening to First Grave on the Right. I feel like I haven't read a good historical romance in a looong time even though I just finished one.

I am glad I am not the only one who felt this way! It is a relief. I've put it aside for now, I may just pick it up again on a whim. I have book 2 as well, but don't anticipate starting it any time soon.

I've just read the Sugar Queen and want to read the Peach Keeper.
I've just read the new Meredith Duran A Lady's Lesson in Scandal. It was quite good but she set such a high bar with her first two books and this isn't up there whilst being very reasonable in its own right.

I'm interested to know what you think of First Grave on the Right!!!!
I am reading Hard Bittenwhich is not holding my interest, and LOVING Pale Moon Rider ($2.99 on Kindle!).

Mshj/Alicia - I'm a great Laura Kinsale fan, but For My Lady's Heart was the exception. One of the hardest reads I've ever struggled to finish.

Great read!

Great read!"I have that one on kindle, I am waiting when I need an angsty book to read.
Laura, I just took a look at your books, I'm definitely interested in reading them! I love the premise of Shattered Dreams.
Thank you, Alycia! Shattered Dreams is still #1 on Amazon for Regency (although it's Victorian) and my 4th book - A MATTER OF CHOICE - was just released yesterday! I'm doing a happy dance here! Just .99 cents!!!

I still thought it was fun and the love interest was super duper hot so I'm definitely looking forward to the next book.

Thanks! I've noticed that sort of bombarding of the wisecracks in a lot of the same types of books as that. It does start to grate on your nerves. Well placed cracks are so much funnier than an overdose!
Loved Shattered Dreams, and it looks like A Matter of Choice is going to be a keeper, too! Also loved the series by Catherine Bybee. Catherine writes about those hunky highlanders, and has some romance and time travel thrown in with some adventure.

reading
is hawt, hawt! ;)
Just finished "Something Wonderful" by Judith McNaught. Absolutely fabulous. Beyond! I didn't want it to end.
Thanks, Carol and Heidi! I can't wait to hear what you think! Writing has always been a passion of mine - along with reading, of course. I'm having the time of my life and Good Reads only makes it better!!!
