He does, however..."My husband doesn't read a lot either and when he does it takes him like 2 months to read one book. Right now he has been reading all the William Martin books.
My husband can't laugh at my titles or front covers cuz I now have a nook.
You guys are making me excited to start
I just got them today and I can't start until tonight. It's too loud in my house right now--my kids are animals. LOL.Beth wrote:I am so in love with Bones! I have pre-ordered and bought everything that Jeanine Frost has written. Stash some treats and drinks by your bed cuz you won't want to stop with 1!
Me too. He is my favorite hero of every series I've read so far, and Jeaniene Frost tops my list of fav authors.

Your kids sound like mine. It usually sounds like a pack of elephants are loose in my house. When I really want to read though sometimes I can block them out.
Jeaniene Frost also tops my list of favorite authors and Cat & Bones are definitely in my top three of couples. As for Bones - Hot, strong, vampire with an English accent to boot. He had me at Hello.
Im so excited to find people that enjoy reading these books as much as me! I love series where the women are fighters. And men that love warriors are even hotter! You are going to love the Alana and Rapheal. I can't wait to hear what you think!

I was already in lust with Dmitri from book 1 and he wasn't even the main character so I have no doubt that he will have me drowning in his "special blend" once again.

Beth wrote: "Maybe if I pasted a snowmobile on the cover, he will pick it up! haha ."That just made me laugh out loud!
Michelle wrote: "P.A. wrote: "You guys are making me excited to start I just got them today and I can't start until tonight.

I loved when he was training her and he would knock her unconcious--I know that sounds bad, but I loved that he did it to make her stronger. Rather than hover over her and protect her, he made her strong enough to protect herself. Love Bones!!!

It will help ease the lonely nights away from Cat and Bones.
Word! Bones is sooo hot! It's all his attitude and he has swagger. I love that he is strong, funny,and loves Cat the way he does.
I've read all of Jeaniene Frost's deleted scenes and all of her novella's. I feel like a Jeaniene Frost stalker. It's pathetic, I've even reread the first 4 in the series about 5 times. I laughed at an interview she gave because she said that a lot of her fans know her books better than she does--I'm probably one of them. I can tell you any quote from any of her books, and which book it's from--I might even be able to pin it to the chapter.

I don't think that I have ever laughed so hard as when I read those books. I love that he has her back but doesn't try to keep her from being the bad ass woman that she is.
I wouln't call myself a stalker per say but I check her website everyday....not sure if I should admit that.....too late!
ok now I can't wait to read this series. and I have no husband to comment about, we've been divorced for 3 years now, and id probably get a snicker or two out of him, my ex boyfriend though would probably be reading right along with me, though may he rest in piece
I think she likes fans like us. THis is why I love GR so much. I told a few of my friends about her books and that they had to read it. For some reason when I tell them about the half vampire who hunts and kills other vampires with her ex-gigalo, bounty hunter, vampire boyfriend, I come off sounding a little weird.I don't get it *shrug*
Michelle wrote: "P.A. wrote: "Michelle wrote: "P.A. wrote: "You guys are making me excited to start I just got them today and I can't start until tonight.

They'll come back, I always say.
I am so happy my co-worker recommended GR. It's nice to hear about new books or talk about the ones you love to others that know and understand such things like Annette cleaning the house like Martha Stewart on crack! How funny was that whole scene!!!!
I often feel like I need to hide the titles of books that I bring to work with me... (I work at a church)...but with titles like- Succubus on Top and Pale Demon
it's a little hard to keep the older congregation from giving me dirty looks
That scene and the following chapter were my favorite of the whole series. When she cleans the kitchen after Cat tells her she is going to knock the slut out her.I laughed so hard. But the best was the dare that Cat issues to Bones right after that scene:"Do it your way, but I suggest another one. You could go ahead and beat her bloody,
or…you could give me such loud, screaming orgasms that the sound of them blisters her ears. If you have any former-whore-turned-promiscuous-vampire tricks you’ve been holding back, well, bring them on. I only have one stipulation: You’d better outperform any service you gave to her or anyone else, because if I don’t wake up tomorrow red in the face from embarrassment at what you did to me, I’ll be disappointed."
I still say that is the best dare ever.

I just laughed so hard....I can't imagine a priest seeing those.
During lunches at work, I have read the entire Succubus series, The Hollows series, some Dresden Files, Cassie Palmer series, Mercy Thompson series, Ghostwalkers series, Midnight Breed series....They've seen some pretty interesting stuff from me...
I even read
here at work

I sometimes wonder how they come up with their titles. I put off reading Nalini Singh Psy-Chageling series for months because of the titles (Slave to Sensation. Branded by Fire). I'm so glad I finally got over that and read them! So maybe I should give 'Gentlemen Prefer Succubi' a fair chance?
I laugh at the titles, and I laugh at those who give me quirky looks, like when I would be reading a nalini singh book.

and I love this series"Thank you!
The Magician and Blood Work. I'm not big into graphic novels but considering that I like Kim Harrison I figured I would give Blood Work a try. I've already read the book awhile ago so it shouldn't take me long to read this one..actually look at the pictures..lol
Just finished
. Very adult, very hot. I see this series has got mixed reviews so far, but I really liked it.

lol, can't blame you there =)
LOL hummm well I am sure that if the wrong people see that, lol you will be the topic for next Sundays sermon
I finished
last night and it was OK. It felt a bit rushed. I'm currently re-reading
.
Just finished
It took a while for me to get into it, but I still liked the story. Just started reading
I have to admit Katniss is confusing me with her feelings for Gale and Peeta..

LOL... I love that you read these titles at work. Careful or they might try to perform an exorcism.

I find myself not reading some because the cover makes it look like some steamy romance novel when that isn't the main theme going on.

That's why I love my Nook! no one has any clue what I'm reading! lol

I usually just ignore him or give him the finger and continue reading :P It's all in good fun though. He relishes in any chance to give me crapp.
Yeah I'm going to ask for a kindle for my birthday. That way I can't catch any grief from anyone!
My husband teases me. Tells me I'm off on another adventure in fantasy land. I just tell him I read to escape him. :) LOL
I'm currently reading Darkness becomes Her from Kelly Keaton. Huh. I'm not dragged into to story yet, and i'm already on the half.
I'm currently reading Legacy by Jeanette Baker. Wow, this book is really good. Can't put it down. Its multiple stories in one book. Love how you get the best of both a current day romance with the mystery of the past. The historical part explains how the future can unfold either with repetition of unfortunate past failings or the promise of a curse lifted.
Jenne wrote: "Yeah I'm going to ask for a kindle for my birthday. That way I can't catch any grief from anyone!"You will not regret it. My reader was the absolute best thing I've ever bought myself. I love it. And ebooks are so much cheaper than paperbacks that it will pay for itself in no time. Plus, think of all the trees you're saving! LOL

Everyone thought I was a satanist in Jr. High... I'm used to it. Then when they saw me reading Anne Rice in HS, they felt that just confirmed it...

and said "Nobody, even a vampire, wears stiletto heels on a bike."
Did you tell him in this book she still only half-vamp....
I did, actually... I was like well she's half vampire/half human.... he just laughed at me

who knows with men? I have given my husband a few books I thought he would like and they are collecting dust as we speak.
