The first was my favorite, too. I was so sucked in by the relationship between Kara and Lyon that I could overlook plot holes big enough to drive a dump truck through. None of the others have quite lived up to the first. But I keep going back for more, so there must be something there.

I am currently reading "Bloodsuckers", which is volume 1 of The Vampire Archives.

Hey Magda! I ..."

I finished the first book in Banks' trilogy and I didn't think it was that good, but now that I think back on it, I was definitely comparing it to other Highlander series I've read, like KMM's and Gabaldon's. I found Banks' Highlanders to lack personality compared to the other series.

Looks like I'm going to have to bump up KMM's Highlander books on my TBR list.

Marked by Everly Drummond

My thoughts:

Grabbed this one as a freebie on my Nook Color. Who can pass up a freebie right? My husband actually found it searching for vampire fiction. Cover was intriguing (and sexy) and it is a short book so what did I have to loose, right?!

The story immediately gets into the action. You are pulled in before you can even decide if you like the characters or not. Drummond quickly distinguishes bad from good and you just get to light heartedly follow along.

I wouldn’t joke anyone and tell you that this is a heart stealing book. You CAN live without it, but if you’re at a spot between book series right now and just need something paranormal, very sexy and well paced - then go ahead and grab this one. It’s free on most sites including Everly’s Blog on Blogspot.

The sex scenes in book one are heated and delicious, but Drummond does turn it up a notch in books two and three. So if the normal scenes in book 1 don’t turn you on, then move on to book 2 and 3 quickly. There’s something for everyone’s sexual appetite between 1, 2, or 3.

(below is as described from Everly Drummond’s Blog ** I do not claim the rights to this work)

Marked: City of the Damned Book 1. Following the death of her parents, Sara Bishop sells everything she owns and moves to New York in hopes of being closer to her aunt and uncle, the only family that she has left. After stumbling upon a fight between two men in the dark alleyways of New York, a brutal attack by one of the men has left her marked. Pryse has claimed her intoxicating blood for himself. It is against vampire law that a human be unwilling marked, and Gedeon finds himself, not only wanting to protect the fragile human, but doing anything within his power to break the mark that Pryse has placed on her, so that he may claim her for himself. Until now Gedeon believed that vampires could only feel two emotions, lust and hunger, but Sara has him second guessing everything he had ever thought to be true. In Sara’s arms, Gedeon finds something that he never knew existed, and Sara finds more than she could ever hope for. Can Gedeon break Pryse’s mark and claim Sara for himself before it’s too late?

Hey..."

The last two books are much better. The first book of a series can lack some personality because we are getting to know the characters. Banks only has three books to her series and when we get a feel for them the triology is over. But I agree the first book was okay, but Bank's books are a much smaller scale than Gabaldon's and Moning's series. We really get to know the characters of those books. I am a member of the Daegus fan club. Smile Crazy4More:)

[Pansy]

All this talk about Moning's Highlanders I may have to do a reread. I have only read once. I have read BDB 3 times and the Midnight Breed twice.

[Komal]

Just started . Kind of a slow start but hopefully it picks up. It broke my heart when Georgina told that Seth look a like that he sucked in bed.

[Tracy T.]

I'm almost finished with . Its not too bad, but I've heard the series gets better.

I'm also reading . I need to finish the last 2 before Tuesday, because come out.

[Christine]

Finished the pinkest book I've ever read . Maybe the cover model knew what they were going to do with his picture and that explains his pose and the look on his face.
I heard it ends in a cliff-hanger, and it does. I guess I'm not that emotionally invested in the series, because it was only mildly irritating to me.

Next up is Better off Undead .

I couldn't help but seeing some similarities with the Midnight Breed. Not the vampire originality but the orginization, the conflicts, the set up. I'm loving it!

All this talk about KMM Highlanders makes me want to move them up Mt Everest (TBR pile). Its really funny because her Fever series is my most favourite U/F series of all time but I just haven't been motivated to start the Highlanders. Strange or what??

Her Highlander series is awesome!! And this is coming from someone who hated the Fever series(well, I really hated Mac, not necessarily the whole series). Her highlander heros are smokin hot!! :)

[Komal]

Do all of KMM's books involve time travel or are there any that are just historical period romances?

[Alisa]

A few are time travel and the others are historical periods. Her Fever series are neither, but UF instead.

I finished earlier this week and finished an hour ago

Finally giving into this series. Reading

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Whoah, I'm up to book 4 of Rough Riders. They're VERY steamy.

I'm back reading Psy-changelings trying to get up to date. Up to Bonds of Justice and remembering what a great series this is.

[Alisa]

I LOVE the Rough Riders series! I haven't been able to find anything comparable to that whole western/cowboy theme since.

[PNR lover]

Just finished

I must say it was a disappointing.

Just started

I've heard is good. The series is called Malloy Family.

Hi BJS, are you liking the Breeds series?

BJS wrote: "Just finished

The Breed series came highly recommended to me, but I have to say, I don't tear through them like other series. Megan's Mark was good, but I had to take a break after it and refresh my brain with something else for awhile. Lora Leigh tends to get repetative in her wording in these first few books, but I'm told her writing tightens up as the series progresses. I just started Harmony's Waythis weekend (which is after Megan's Mark). So far, so good!

That's pretty spot on, Jolyn. I think the ones published by Berkely (the later ones) have a lot more storyline while the Ellora's Cave are heavy on the smut! You've still got a way to go as there are over 20 in the series now.

Yeah, I didn't realize how looooong this series was when I first started reading them. LOL Imagine my shock when I figured out I had to power through that many! (I'm obsessive in my reading, so there's no way I could NOT read the entire series.) I'm so glad to hear they shine up more. Oh...and the smut I can handle (*snicker*), it's repetative smut that gets tiresome. Sometimes it's as if the same love scenes are in book after book. ;)

I totally agree with you both, the first ones really do have more smut than story, but I have been told by lots of people that they do get better, and like Jolyn I don't mind smut, but it needs to have a place in the book for it, instead of just making space to put lots of it in;).

I think at the moment I'm on a low for books, I have read so many good books, that its feels like I have done all the good ones.

I totally agree (about the placement). Romance books are going to have love scenes, as well as erotic romance (naturally). But there's proper placement, and then there's just writing it to write it. The second option is not a good one. :)

A low for books? Is there such a place?! Sounds horrifying! ;) There HAS to be something out there for you. Something I've done was go to Amazon and look up a book I really enjoyed and then watch the recommendations section based on what I looked up. I've found a lot of books that way.

I normal do get all my books from Amazon, and the thing for me I only like pnr books with alpha males action, romance and women to save, I don't want to read about real life, (its my time out) I think that because I have read really good series, its hard to beat them, I have looked at the recommendations from Goodreads but the books they have on there just are not wooing me to read them.

I have been told to read

its meant to have all the action humor and romance just my cup of tea

I hear you about needing the escape. I'm sure any recommendations I'd have to give are series you've already checked out - I think most of the series/books on my TBR list are pretty well-known. A friend of mine just published - it has all the elements you are looking for, but the paranormal angle is slight. There's a lot of "real life" going on there. Just a thought though.

I haven't heard of Black Wings. You'll have to let us know how that one is. Hopefully it's what you're looking for. :)

Can't wait for your opinion comparing Rough Riders to Malloy Family series. I love plentry of steaminess...all at the right placement, no pun intended. And with that, have a productive day as I'm heading out too. Later

[Ann]

OMG! I love the Fever series. Not a fan of historical bks but since I guess these bks combine with contemporary times I gotta read them. And since we got a peak at Adam and the McKeltar brothers in the Fever bks I'm definitely gonna read these. I hear Adam is REALLY hot and a favorite in this series.

[Patricia]

Just finished: The Academy
Next is: Serenity
This series is awesome! Can't wait to see what happens to Jason and Meghan :-)

[Ellen]

I just finished A Hunger Like No Other and have decided that this is not the series for me. I'm now reading Her Dark Destiny and am really enjoying it so far. I'm surprised that it's written by a guy, but he does a pretty good job writing from a woman's point of view!

[Denise Nanna]

Just started . Hope its not too much Y in the YA. I am getting a bit tired of the plainish girl in High School that gets picked on and then meets the gorgeous boy...

Denise wrote: "Just started . Hope its not too much Y in the YA. I am getting a bit tired of the plainish girl in High School that gets picked on and then meets the gorgeous boy..."

Try Storm Born by Richelle mesd & also her succubus series, both are definitely not YA & also Night Huntress if you haven't read it already, this is my new favourite series

[La La]

So I finshed reading and and I'm so sad that I didn't care for any of these books. I love Cheyenne McCray's contemporary suspense books, but these were just boring. I couldn't get connected to Nyx, the heroine. She just wasn't written with any depth. Even after two books I still felt like I didn't know her. I felt like someone was telling me a story second hand even though it was written in the first person.

I'm continuing to read both and . I think after this I'm going to do some contemp or historical romance. Maybe Charlotte Featherstone, I love her books.

[Tracy T.]

I'm reading and its so much better than .

OOh, thank you for the recommendation! I will check that out asap.

C4More, I'll definitely let you know how they compare!

Right now, I'm reading . I like it so far. It's YA, but not too much teen angst going on or mushiness. Not quite sure what to read next yet.

[Ann]

Destined Ugh! I can't believe I bought this bk and that I'm still reading it. So tired of this series, this will be the last bk for me!!!!
