this morning..."I've enjoyed the Devil series by Jenna Black. I've read the first two (there's 4, I believe). Just FYI- there is a lot of sex in the first book, also S&M
Yeah, I've noticed that. It's way over the top for my taste. The author seems obsessed with adding sex as much as possible & often at inappropraite times. I also do not like Morgan at all. I'll probably finish this one & trade it and the second book in the series off.

Absolutely loved it!Next up is
"I have City of Bones but haven't read it yet. I'm glad you like it, I'll move closer to the top of my stack.
Finished Every Which Way But Dead and A Fistful of Charms, loved those books. I'm holding off on reading the rest of the series because I don't have For a Few Demons More yet. Now I'm reading Full Moon Rising. Forgot I've read it before but have a bunch of the books in the series so I'll read those until For a Few Demons More comes in.

Loved them all. She kills you at the end with her cliffhangers tho, I want the last book now - preordered it!

I'm still reading Boneshaker--which is not a paranormal romance, but still very good!

It's an exceptionally well writen book. Completely blown away. I can't wait to see how it ends and read Catching Fire!
i was going to read the hunder gammes but i didnt know if it was beyond my interest. many ppl have told me itz good but... idk

ok. then i will TOTALLY read it!!! thnx u, guys rock! <3
I finally read Angels' Blood and loved it, and am now on Pleasure Unbound. I was originally going to send it for a swap without reading it, but decided to give it a try first, and I'm so glad I did!! I'm loving it so much, I bought a second copy to send, and am keeping this one :) Luckily I've got the next two in the Demonica series, and I've just ordered the Next Angels' book :)
Ok, so AFTER exam week i decided to start
. What should i expect from the series??
im readn tall dark n hungry by lynsay sands excellent so far halfway thtough already :)
Now you're going to wonder how an author can have so much time to read. I don't, and that's why I have about four books going at once. I make myself read two chapters from every book each night or I'd never get through them. Here's what I just finished reading and what I'm reading in February:Finished: An Indecent Proposition by Emma Wildes. This was a good erotic romance. I hope to write up a review for it soon here on Shelfari. Wildes is a great writer, and this is a historical -- about a woman who has a tortured past (husband was cruel and he died) and now she's decided to get back into the swing of social life. Two very decadent men have made a public bet that each is a better love than the other. When the widow finds out about the bet, she contacts them and offers to be the judge. Here's where it gets interesting, because we're supposed to have a Happily-ever-after, right? Well, you'll just have to read the book to find out how Ms. Wildes accomplished the HEA.
Finished: Drawn Into Darkness: Annette McCleave, This was good. It rate it about a four. An angel/demon theme with lots of scripture quotes. It's also a romantic/paranormal. I believe this is a debut book. I recommend reading if you like this genre.
Reading:
The Bronze Horseman, Pauline Simons. In fact, I just joined a group on Goodreads dedicated solely to this book. It's set in Russia during one of the big wars and features a lot of starvation, war, deplorable state of living and all that angst. It's very good and quite lengthy coming in at over 600 pages. Go to Goodreads if you've read this book or are interested in discussing it.
The Field Guide to Angels and Demons. Don't ask! This is exactly what it says, a guide about all the different demons that exist in society from countries around the world. Legend and lore type thing and how to get rid of a certain demon if you're having trouble with one. I bought this for research purposes, but it's enjoyable.
Enchanted, Elizabeth Lowell, blurb: A medieval age of passion and conquest in a tumultuous era of warriors and ladies. Simon the Loyal has agreed to marry Arianne, an unwilling Norman heiress in order to bring peace to the troubled lands. So far, so good, Lowell is also a good writer, and this is a typical medieval novel.
Belladonna, Anne Bishop. This is the second book in her series. I think the first one was titled Sebastian. And I bought them out of order. Now, I must go back and read the first. The writing is deep and the plot complicated, but if you concentrate and stick with it, quite enjoyable. Blurb: The Eater of the World is casting its shadow over the landscape of Ephemera, tainting people's souls with doubts and fears. Glorianna Belladonna possesses the ability to thwart the Eater, but she's not along. Michael, a man with mysterious power of his own will help.
Warlord, Elizabeth Elliott, an older medieval historical about an arranged marriage. So far so good, although I am not spellbound. This book came highly recommended by readers who love medieval romance.
More later and Happy Reading!

This is a new author for me, and this is the first book in a series:
By Maria V. Synder
I am currently reading
but I am going to read them every now and again instead of one after the other like I did before. This way I hopefully will not get sick of the characters too quickly which is what sometimes happens if I stay with the same series for ages and not read new ones.

I haven't posted in awhile, I have recently read:

.I needed to read a couple of fun books with all the stress lately.

Denene - so far, not as many orgies as the merry series lol but still addictive

I have read this book, it was great (it was my replaement for BDB fix since I am waiting for the new release) I went ahead and order the next 3 after the first.
Laura wrote: "Ok, so AFTER exam week i decided to start . What should i expect from the series??"Hmmmmm, Maddox......
Sorry, I've completely lost my train of thought now.
Maddox is one of my favourites.
I actually an really curious how Disease gets his book (finds his girl etc) I mean if he can't touch anyone.. whats he going to do?

Maybe they bring out an immortal called "anti-bacterial"

But isn't it true that if anyone touches him they can spread disease even if they can't catch it? Aren't his brothers (whatever they are called I can't remember) immune but can still spread disease?
I'll be starting Darkest Kiss tonight
the guy on this cover is a major hottie!
Finished
and started on
.I am looking forward to more banter between Lord Maccon and Alexia.
This week I have tackled the first two Riley Jenson Guardian books, Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick (read in FIVE hours... it was... well, impressive) was added to the return-to-library pile yesterday and Evernight this morning. I'm planning to start City of Bones tonight, but my eyes need a rest.

Though I have to put it on hold for a bit because I have a bunch of books I have to read and judge for Romance Writers of America's RITA contest.

Finished
last night. I really, really did not like that book. Too much unnecessary S&M. This was a new author & series for me, but I don't think I'll be reading anymore. I started
last night, but got an e-mail from the library this morning that
just came in.
Heather C wrote: "Sobia,I just started Desire Unchained. I'm only a few pages in, though."
What do you think of it so far?
I was planning on reading it next, but 2 HR books ( The Elusive Bride and Taming the Highland Bride) came out on yesterday, and I had to get them :)
Add to that I just got Archangels' Kiss in the mail today, so It may be a a little bit before I get to that one, so your opinion on it would be much appreciated :)

I'm only maybe 75 pages in, I'm having to work major overtime this week at work and not getting much reading time. So far so good though
I finished
and really enjoyed it! Not romance, but a totally different world/reality that was a nice change from what I usually read. Now I'm starting
.
I just finished Dead Until Dark
Living Dead in Dallas
I am totally amazed how the books are so different from the HBO True Blood series.
