message 151: by Desperado (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) | 76 comments I'm reading The Dark Divine & Redemption Alley. While messing around online I saw that my local library carried an IR, Suite Seduction, so I requested it.

new_user I am reading Doubleblind. Scifi. Loving it. :)

I finished Lover Mine (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #8) by J.R. Ward , and I'm currently reading Wild Fire (Leopard People, #4) by Christine Feehan and Stetsons, Spring and Wedding Rings (Includes Bride, #3) by Jillian Hart . I may try to read Boss Man by Marie Rochelle soon, since I'm craving an IRR.


message 154: by TinaNoir (new)

TinaNoir | 1456 comments It is May and I have not read one IR book this year so I have been falling down on the job! LOL. So I recently ordered from Amazon:

Somebody To Love it is a historical so I am very intrigued by it.

In the Midnight Rain While not written as an IR I have been spoilered and know a little bit about the plot -- has a strong IR element

Dmitry's Closet on the Kindle. Can't beat a 3.99 price! Considering her previous book was something like 21.00 for a paperback and I wasn't shelling out that dough for an untried author. Want to support the genre but I have limits.

I read the first two, Tina. They were good. I like the second book more. I'm going to read Dmitry's Closet.

Definitely. You have to listen to your pocketbook and what your personal tastes are.

Yolonda | 406 comments I am currently reading The Real Thing by J.J. Murray . It's been quite some time since I've read J.J. Murray's books. I am enjoying this one so far...it's pretty funny. It's great that a white, male author can get into the head of a black woman without sounding like a stereotype. I've read a few books by black, female authors that can't even seem to avoid that issue. He's come a long way from his first book.

I'm glad you're enjoying that one, Loni. I bought it off Amazon.
Sounds like it would be a good book.


message 160: by Davina (new)

Davina D. | 796 comments I'm reading Lisa Kleypas's Mine Till Midnight. It's a very cute story and I'm enjoying Kleypas's beautiful way of writing. I'd forgotten how talented she is with her pen. I read Seduce Me at Sunrise before this one and quite liked it. I also finished Kenyon's Night Play (Dark-Hunter, #6) and I didn't like it for a variety of reasons, but mostly because of the writing.

I've read one of the Sydney Croft books (can't remember which), and I do recall it being quite hot which was just fine with me! Now that its been mentioned I'm going to dig the other books out from under my TBR pile and finish the series.

new_user I was happy to find I'm Your Girl by Murray at a sale recently, since I don't see too many IR there.

I love Lisa Kleypas's books, Davina. She's by far my favorite historical writer.

Yes, he's good. I would just like him to try a book not in the first person for once. I like to know what everyone is thinking about a given situation and it's hard to determine that based off of a single person's perspective.

Despite that issue, J.J. manages to make the first person okay for me since his main character is pretty funny in her thinking.

He's got a group here on GRs. It interesting to see how his brain works. He's a cool guy.


message 165: by Desperado (last edited May 07, 2010 11:50AM) (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) | 76 comments Despite the discouraging comments, I'm currently reading Suite Seduction by J.M. Jeffries . Partly because it looks really interesting & partly because I'd like to see how bad it sucks. So far, its cutesy. I can tell from the first "fade-to-black" sex scene in the first chapter that there will be no hot shweaty interracial loving. Hopefully the book will be good enough to where that doesn't matter.

JC (ainathiel) I was reading Bitten, by Kelly Armstrong but got reader's block. I didn't pick up a book for a while, yesterday I bought Kindred in Death by J.D. Robb.

I just read Stolen this past weekend. Not an easy read, but I enjoyed it.


message 181: by TinaNoir (new)

TinaNoir | 1456 comments I've been on a IR reading tear lately. I read Aaren by T.A. Ford which was very well written.

I read Mixed Reality by Chamein Canton which had a great concept and was also nicely written although i did have some problems with execution.

I adored Beast Behaving Badly (Pride, #5) by Shelly Laurenston .

My Angel by Denise Skelton was soapy but really good.

I rec all of those.

I also read Never Say Never (Love Spectrum) by Michele Cameron which was a huge disappointment and I heartily disliked.

I am currently reading Stripped by Marcia Colette which is actually turning out to be a pretty darned suspenseful IR paranormal.

Rae, I am feeling you. The League series by Kenyon, really revved up my enthusiasm for Sci-Fi. I read Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan not too long ago, and I've been on the hunt since then.

I'm reading The Name of the Wind (Kingkiller Chronicle, #1) by Patrick Rothfuss right now. I may start Water Bound (Sisters of the Heart, #1) by Christine Feehan this weekend, as well.


message 187: by new_user (new)

new_user Oh, I've heard a lot of great things about the Rothfuss series, Danielle!

Above the comment box, there's an add book/author option you click on it and choose cover and type author and book name or book name and you will see the cover and hit add. You will not see the picture, until you hit send, after you are finished with your comment.

Desperado (lethallovely) | 76 comments Right now I'm reading Gentlemen Prefer Succubi (Succubus Diaries, #1) by Jill Myles , which sucks (pun not intended) & Soul Enchilada by David Macinnis Gill which is pretty good. And the protagonist is multi-racial!

Oh yes indeedy! That's one of my faves. :-D It had a great storyline and some great complex characters. I think you'll like it Michelle! :-)

I wish she still had the book trailer up at YT. It was a nice one.

I'm reading Ashes of Midnight (Midnight Breed, #6) by Lara Adrian , which I'm enjoying quite a bit. The heroine is biracial (black and white), and the hero is German white. It's book six in the Midnight Breed.

Has anyone read Come With Me by J.S. Hawley ? I believe it's a contemporary romance with a bw/nam pairing.
