What are you reading right now?







I just read all of Heaven Sent: Heaven and Purgatory tonight. I meant to just read the first one, but couldn't help myself. :) A good quick read, but I really liked it. Two really sweet love stories about attaining the one that's unattainable.

I really enjoyed Wilks' series. I'm about to start the new one. I really like Rule. Alpha male. Yum.

Didn't you love the Heaven Sent boys? That is one of my favorite books. Are you going to read the next book about the other two band members? I've read all the holiday short stories and Genisis as well. I can't get enough of those yummy boys.
Hey Nichole, new to Jet Myles? The Heaven Sent series is wonderful!
Barbara, you may also wish to read the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. Very well written but she has a unique twist on vampires, and shifters are secondary characters (so far). Highly recommended.
XJessa, Hi homie, I graduated from Connell High School and much prefer your weather to where I am now (coast).
Atwater-Rhodes, I'll agree with those who think the series went downhill. Great world-building and plots, but alot of bad stuff keeps happening and the HEA is very minimal. Kinda dark and depressing after a few books. Wish she would co-author with someone to offset her less appealing writing traits!

I really enjoyed the Maccarrick series by Cole. I don't think you will be disappointed. Although it's more historical than PNR. I love Cole's writing.
I think I might be starting Jacquelyn Franks Ecstasy next, I just finished Jenna Black's first Watcher book. Which was pretty good.

This is one of my favorite series and I am loving Mortal Sins so far.

Good, I can't wait to read this. I'm right in the middle of Aiden's Charity by Lora Leigh right now. Mortal Sins is next.

Yeah, I was totally hooked and couldn't put the damn book down! I have all these books to read for the Feb challenges and that wasn't one of them, but I couldn't help myself and will most definitely be reading the next book and whatever else she's written for that series.
Denni - Yeah, that was my first time reading Jet Mykles. Obviously I really liked Heaven and Purgatory and want to read everything else Heaven Sent, but I'm not sure if I'll read any of her other stuff. There's something about the Dark Elves thing that doesn't call out to me, but at the same time I'm really curious...
Nichole, Dark Elves is my least favorite of Jet's books, haven't read all of them and don't know that I will. IMO Heaven Sent is her best work so far, but Unleashed is also good.


There is a movie based on this book being released on dvd very soon.



I enjoyed If You Dare and will read the rest of the series. It reminded me of the historical romances I read as a teenager. Kresley Cole has a real flair for writing hot love scenes without all the flowery, cheesy dialogue. She does sexual tension just about better than anyone.


That's one that I'm reading too. It's not too bad. Different twist on vampirism, that's for sure.


As far as paranormal romance goes, I am reading through Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark. I like them all, but my favorite is the first one, A Hunger Like No Other. I also just finished the latest Kitty Norville book by Carrie Vaughn, but I consider this series more urban fantasy although there is a romantic subplot through the series.
I also read Laurell K Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, and Kim Harrison. I tend to like series that are in first-person perspective and follow one person through a number of books.

I'm actually reading Dark Needs at Night's Edge right now. I don't like it as much as I liked the previous two... something about Conrad and Neomi just isnt' doing it for me, but it is making me very anxious to read the next one. I love Cade! Who knew an author could make demon horns sound so sexy?
I'm with you, Nichole. I feel the first book was the weakest in the series. My fave would be Cadeon's book and Sebastian's. I want my own demon with "lickable" horns....LOL..


I just finished Dark Needs about a week or two ago, and I agree with your assessment of it. It just didn't have the same oomph as the others. I've got the next two in my TBR but I am trying to space them out so I don't get burnt out on the series (that tends to happen when I read too much romance).

Although, lickable horns.... that's hard to compete with haha.





General Merin didn’t realize he’d wed Lady Belavalari when he visited her village several years ago, so when he’s dispatched by his emperor to summon her as a potential bride, he seeks dissolution of his unwanted marriage. Clan ritual has Merin and Bela bound together with a rope for 22 nights, performing chores by day and sharing a cottage by night. If they are still bound at the end of the ordeal, the marriage will be dissolved. Can they resist their attraction to each other, even when Bela’s magical sword draws them together?
I've been meaning to pick up some Elizabeth Moon book for a while now; I really should next time I'm at a bookstore. Thanks for the rec!
I'm crazy-busy reading for school right now; I just managed to finish a re-read of Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets right before my class last night, and now I have to finish Robert Cormier's Fade and a couple of chapters of a book on Lacanian psychology/theory and children's lit before class on Wednesday. And then I get to dive into more reading for class, heh.
I do have Patricia Briggs's Bone Crossed and an ARC of Ann Aguirre's Blue Diablo waiting in the wings; I'm hoping I can sneak a read in for those two very soon.
