Whatcha Reading

[Beverley]

I'm currently reading Sandra Hill's February release, VIKING IN LOVE. On page 133. Much more amusing than I ever thought it would be and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

[Calila]

I'm not currently reading anything. I've been having trouble getting into All She Desires- Anthea Lawson so I've put it back on the shelf until another time. I think next I'll start Lavender Morning-Jude Deveraux. Thats the plan at least.

[Maria]

Hi, thanks for the invite! I just finished reading "Proof by Secuction" by Courtney Milan. I really enjoyed it. Very fast read and some memorable characters.

[Beverley]

Hi Maria,

It's Proof is next on my list, right after Viking in Love. Courtney is a fabulous writer.

I'm currently reading Swept Away by Toni Blake.

[Melissa]

I'm reading "The Rake" by Mary Jo Putney.

[Calila]

I just started The Truth About Lord Stoneville by Sabrina Jefferies. Enjoying the banter between the h/h so far.

[Beverley]

I'm reading Maggie Robinson's Mistress By Mistake. I know I'm reading out of order, but it's just soooo good. I found out it's the first in a series of 4 books.

[Beverley]

Finished Maggie Robinson's Mistress By Mistake and absolutely LOVED it. I'm not going to read Courtney Milan's Proof By Seduction. Actually, I've already started it. I know this, the writing itself is top-notch.

[Samantha]

I'm reading Written On Your Skin by Meredith Duran.

[Carol]

I'm reading Julia London's "A Courtesean's Scandal.
I love the hero and heroine in this.

[Melissa]

I just finished "The Rake" by Mary Jo Puney and now i'm reading "Lady Rouge" by Suzanne Enoch.

[Calila]

I just started Ravishing In Red by Madeline Hunter.

[Calila]

I'll be starting Captive of Sin later tonight. I can't wait to read it!

[Carol]

I just finished an old book by Maura Seger called Sarah. I believe it was the first of a trilogy called Captivating. I have never heard of this Author before but I am going back to the library to see what else is there by this Author.. The book I loved it.

[Beverley]

I need to read the 8 books I received for the RITA. My prayer is that it will end up being pleasurable reads, although the first one was so-so, I have hopes that the remaining 7 will be better. Wish me luck.

[Samantha]

I just finished Written on Your Skin by Meredith Duran. It was not what I had expected. I wasn't pleased with the book.

[Beverley]

Really? I read Bound By Your Touch and I really enjoyed it. Written on Your Skin seemed to intriguish for me. But I'm looking forward to her next book. Seems to be a straight romance.

[Samantha]

I might give her another chance but this one was a bit much. It was well written but there was minimal romance. There was also alot of inner dialogue going on. you know, constant chatting in their heads. I wanted to feel the connection. I need a really good historical that just make me feel the romance.

[Beverley]

You sound like me. I want my romances to be all about the romance.

I'm reading Lessons In French by Laura Kinsale. My first book by her, but I hear she is great.

[Calila]

I read All Night With A Rouge-Alexandra Hawkins

[Carol]

I'm reading His Favorite Mistress by Tracy Anne Warren. I love the characters in this story. Very strong and lovable. It really is a good book

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

I just finished Whitney, My Love and now I'm trying to decide if I want to read Until You, Whitney's sequel, or move onto something lighter.

[Carol]

Just finished A Seduction at Christmas by Cathy Maxwell and now moving on to Bertrice Small's The Border Lord and The Lady.

[Samantha]

Ok so I'm reading Sinful Surrender and I got a paranormal book going.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

I just finally broke down and ordered Sinful Surrender. My B&N never had it in stock. Grrr!

[Samantha]

I hate when that happens.

[Samantha]

I finished Sinful Surrender and now I'm working on Night Song by Beverly Jenkins. I absolutely love her books so I'm sure this is going to be another winner. I love when you read books by authors who rarely or never disappoints you.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

Sinful Surrender already arrived today! I'm going to read it soon, hopefully. I have sooooooo many books waiting.

LOL! I know what you mean but I used this book as part of one of my challenges so it helped bump it up on the mountain of books that need to be read.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

My problem is that I got sucked into series' and I'm too OCD to be able to stop until I've finished. *sigh*

Oh I was liked that before but I can now take a break in the series but I still hate when I read books out of order. I try not but sometimes I pick up a book and realized it was the 2nd or 3rd in a series. I get so pissed.

[Calila]

i'm reading Provocative in Pearls by Madeline Hunter. I'm hoping its as good as Ravishing in Red which is the first in the series.

[Calila]

I just finished In Bed with the Duke by Christina Dodd. Absolutely loved it.

[[deleted user]]

I'm trying to decide what to read next between Ravishing in Red and The Blonde Samurai. I adore Madeline Hunter and feel like I'm behind since Provocative in Pearls is already out.
I have so little time to read I think professionally I need see what else is out there in Historical Erotic Romance. The Blonde Samurai was an RT top pick the same month Secrets of Sin got 4 stars but I really have a hard time with first person narrative. Any suggestions on which one I should start next?

[Calila]

I finished Upon a Wicked Time by Karen Ranney

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

I'm reading Taming Her Irish Warrior and it's really good!

[Isalys]

I just finished & reviewed Cara Elliott's SIN WITH A SCOUNDREL and am now wrapping up Larissa Ione's PLEASURE UNBOUND.

[Isalys]

Correction: Pleasure Unbound, my current read isn't a historical, it's a paranormal romance. Sorry about that!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

I'm reading Passion by Lisa Valdez and chapter 1 was worth the price of admission. Wow... just.... WOW

[Samantha]

Isalys how is that? I wanted to start the demonica series.

Dhestiny is loving Passion :) I know I did and I can't wait for Patience to come out. And before it do, I will be doing a re-read of Passion.

Well, I had to re-read chapter 1 4 times just to make sure I had it all right, cuz you know, sometimes things can get confusing... I wanted to make sure I had all the *gasps* in the right order... so ummm... yeah... ;)

[Samantha]

Uh Yeah! I know I know! LOL! I'm sure you will be able to recite the first chapter by heart by time you finally finish the book (in between your re-reads of chapter 1 of course) :)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

Well, yes... and then I got hung up on re-reads of chapter 3 and 5. I mean... you know..... yeah. LOL

Hi Samantha!

I decided to read the Demonica series because I saw it getting great reviews and some friends of my loved it and true to word, the first book was awesome! I bought the second book immediately because I wasn't ready for the first one to end! LOL
It's a great story, interesting characters and very steamy :)

I definitely recommend if you are into paranormal romances!

[Samantha]

You just sealed the deal with me. Everyone says buy it and I am. I blame you for my impulse :) Seriously I will be glad to start another paranormal series.
