I read
last night: it was one of those books my grandmother had bought, and since we're just getting all of her things delivered, I thought I'd give Coulter a try (my first book by her..): I liked the second half of the book, but really didn't enjoy the first: I hated that Hawk didn't give a d*** about Frances' pleasure or wants.. So not sure I'd read anything else by Coulter... Unless any of you have any fab ones to recommend:-)UM, Darca & Mollie... I've never read the Breed series (although I might have read one a couple years ago.. Megan's Mark?): would you rec them?

I did love Elizabeth and Dash's story mostly due to the letters at the beginning, those were so heartbreaking.
@ Melanie ~ Megan's Mark is the first one that made mass market paperback. The others that are older are a little more hard to find. I really like the series, it is very different premise.
Finished
: love the first, liked the second: it was fun seeing a favorite book in manga version:-) Up next
if all goes well:-)I actually have all the Breeds on ebook format, so I'll probably try them again one of these days:-)
Mod
Now I can't wait to see Noah fall in love:-)
Mod
Noah is my sexy FBI agent/cowboy
I guess one of these days I'll have to read Garwood's contemps. It's just that I've heard they're not very good.
Mod
Try them for yourself.
I know, I really need to, Arch. I love both genres, HR and RS so it might be that those who didn't care for them just don't like RS.
Mod
Some people don't like to read contemporary romances and some don't like to read historical romances. I rather contemporary over historical romances.
The people that read Julie's contemporary romances and didn't care for them, might be people who are lovers of her historicals books and don't really care for contemporary romances.
Oh, are they CR or RS? I thought they were more like Troubleshooters.
Mod
They are contemporary books/Romantic Suspense books.
Thank you, Arch!
Mod
You are welcome.

"Yes, I like the Breed series, and Lora Leigh is one of my favorite authors. The books she published in that series before Megan's Mark were through Ellora's Cave and are erotic romances, Megan's Mark and the later ones are more acceptable to the mass market and are published through Berkley Sensation and Jove Paranormal. A good taste might be to try some from the public library, I recommend the novella in Hot For the Holidays.
I think you'll like Coulter's later work better than that earlier stuff, the market's taste in romance has changed and so did her writing. The Sherbrooke Bride and related stories are fantastic. She wrote a lot of historical romances, a few contemporary ones, and an excellent FBI mystery/thriller series.
@Arch: I, too, prefer contemporary stories to historicals, though I think I just burned out on reading too many mediocre ones of the latter. I'm now going through and collecting the historicals of Christina Dodd because I like her paranormal work so much...I read one of them and liked it.
I also collect and have read all of Amanda Quick and Julia Quinn, and have read all of Johanna Lindsey though I downsized the collection.
Back to topic today, I stopped at Barnes & Noble on the way home from work and picked up Nowhere to Run (Not Without Risk/A Man to Die for) by Suzanne Brockmann and The Gift of Love, an anthology by Lori Foster et al. which I'm currently reading.

Mod
I might let my next book or one of my next books be a Chick Lit.
So I saw Noah fall in love: I totally enjoyed the book but I was hoping for something a little better... I loved him in all the other Buchanan books, and he was great in
, but not as great as I would have hoped: so loved the book, but not my fave Garwood contemp!@Molly, thanks for the recs, I might try Coulter's later books:-) Have you tried C.Dodd's contemps? My fave was
, and Susan Andersen writes a great contemp too:-)
I just ordered Shadow Dance on clearance from B&N. The hardcover was $4.99
Mod
The same was for Cole Clayborne in my eyes.
I've read Christine Dodd book you mention above. It's wasn't really to my liken.
Melanie wrote: "...Have you tried C.Dodd's contemps?..."Yes, I own and loved them all. I eagerly await the release of Dodd's next paranormal on July 6: Chains of Ice. I don't find enough steamy sex in Anderson's books to hold my interest, I guess I'm just a readin' tramp.
@Arch: I have yet to read a good chick lit, if you find one, kindly advise.
Mod
Well do. I like when they are funny. I might see books as chick lit and some people might not.

@Molly : for chick-lit, what about Jennifer Crusie? Bet Me and Crazy For You are two of my faves and hilarious in my eyes:-) Otherwise I really enjoyed SEP's What I Did for Love:-)
@Arch: I haven't received Cole's story yet.. I'm already dreading having my Cole fantasies dashed:-s
Arch wrote: "... I like when they are funny."To me, funny is Janet Evanovich or Lori Foster. I read some Keyes and got depressed.
Mod
You might like it.
Arch wrote: "Melanie wrote:"@Arch: I haven't received Cole's story yet.. I'm already dreading having my Cole fantasies dashed:-s"You might like it."
Lol.. I'm easy when it comes to Garwood, so you're probably right:-)
Just finished
,and naturally loved it:-)
Mod
. I really enjoyed it. Thanks Carolyn for picking it out of my tbr for me. I plan to read
next.
Just finished
and
:-) Danielle, do you like Mary Balogh? I have most of her books (Slighly and Simply, Huxtable and Web series), lol, but haven't read any yet..
Mod
I've never read anything by MB. I have lots of her books, as I've picked them up at UBS but not yet opened one.These are the books I have:
Balogh, Mary – Slightly Married, Slightly Dangerous, A Summer To Remember,1.One Night For Love, 2.Slightly Sinful, Slightly Wicked. {Dark Angel, Lord Carew’s Bride – 2 stories in one book}
I'm not sure what order they go in though. LOL
Mod
Thanks, Danielle!!! I have Summer to Remember down for one of my All Things Summer reads.
I've just started
That was a great book, Carol. Are you a BDB fan or just trying them out?
UniquelyMoi *~*Dhestiny*~* wrote: "That was a great book, Carol. Are you a BDB fan or just trying them out?"I am a BDB fan and have read all the books apart from this one and Lover Mine. My favourite is definitely Lover Awakened. Zsadist is just the ultimate dark, dangerous and tortured hero and Bella is such a plucky heroine to take him on.
Oh yes, Z is my favorite, too. I think it's his tortured soul that draws me to him.
Thanks Danielle:-) Carol and UM, I kind of think Z is everyone's favorite!!! I also need to get down to reading the last two books now that I have them, but I need to reread the first books in the series to remember everything that happened, what a drag huh? LOL
The WARDen has said that Z is her favorite, too. I think she said V is her second favorite, even more so since seeing what she has about him in the upcoming book. I was floored at her comments.
I, too, am into Z and V. I've only read the first two books in the BDB series so far, but I have five more ready for when I slot them into the schedule. 
Today I can report completion of The Gift of Love by Lori Foster and a bunch of folks I'm not familiar with. All of the stories were good.
You can read my review at
Mollie's review of The Gift of Love
I also blew through Hot as Sin by Bella Andre, but do not recommend it... she's got some serious problems crafting the plot and depicting the characters.
Now I'm reading Burning Lamp by Amanda Quick for the second time ... I love getting all the nuances I missed the first time around a couple of months ago.
... this isn't what the cover of my hardcover edition looks like, but it'll have to do.
Finishing up Julie Garwood's Highland Laird's series with
! :D
Today, I read
which was a very nice YA Regency read, and
: loved dramatic Sara and irascible Nathan! :-)
Finished Burning Lamp by Amanda Quick, liked it better the second time through.
Mod
. Really liking it so far. I'm kicking myself for not reading Brockway for so long.
Just finished
(Sam was smoking:-p) and starting
...
The Initiation and the Captive-LJ SmithJust getting ready to start,I`ve read all the vaamp books growing up and liked them so I think this one will be good-anyone read it?
Mod
Mod
Done with
.. Not bad:-) 4 stars:-)Arch, I think you'd like Sam, even though he's maybe not as dangerous as John Medina or S. Starrett:-p
Mod
I will probably have to pull my book out this weekend to start reading about this Sam.

Doesn't it feel like we're chatting about neighbors? Good fiction fosters that, and I like it.
