Hey y'all:-) I've been in Paris, then Alaska for the last two weeks, so I have a lot of catching up to do:-) These are the books I've read since July 13th (some of the DP's are pretty short, lol): 
I loved most of the Diana Palmers, loved Kinsale, but my reread of Brandewyne was a little disappointing... Oh, and I loved Howard in
... Smoking!!! That book and
are now some of my all-time faves!!
Kiss an Angel is one of my favorites of SEP.

I also loved the tiger parts too!!
I liked Heaven, Texas better than Kiss an Angel, but SEP is all good.Just finished for Firstreads review: Charlie Finley: The Outrageous Story of Baseball's Super Showman by G. Michael Green and Roger D. Launius which wasn't very good unless you're the kind of baseball fanatic who reads and cares about the backs of baseball cards.
To treat myself afterwards, I had to go to Borders to pick up five romances. I just read and loved Kate Douglas'
...Also picked up
,
,
, and
. I wonder if I'll sleep tonight (tee hee hee).
Now I'm excited because the public library website tells me that my turn for
has finally come up, it's in transit and should be ready for me tomorrow or the next day.
Just finished
.. Very cute and enjoyable:-)

Mollie - [book:Lover Mine|7046495] is just awesome ! Only surpassed by Lover Awakened in my opinion.

Mollie, I was thrilled to pick up my copy of Water Bound yesterday at Target. :)

Alaska was gorgeous, although kind of remote (which isn't always a bad thing I guess, lol):-) And I couldn't go running along the fjord in the mornings, because of all the bears, which was interesting:-D
My fave DP for the moment is probably
although I love 95 % of the ones I read:-) Some of them are quite short though:-( Which is probably why I read so many:-)

Lady Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "...That's pretty good statistics if you only disliked 5% of the DP books you read. That's probably on par with my experience with her books."I disliked even more of them. My quibble is that some of her heroes are so tortured emotionally that the heroine's redemption of them seems unbelievable to me. I stopped reading Diana Palmer for a while, but will probably go back again one day, she's addictive.
Currently re-reading

I like Diana Palmer because I like the angsty feel to her stories. I love damaged characters. Some of her guys are too mean, but usually they grovel very well and I can look past their bad behavior because of that or why they are that way.
I think it's great that we all have our go-to authors. I bet that most of the negatives about my authors that I love, I can agree with those who don't like them about. But, I either like them for that reason, or I don't mind their shortcomings because their strengths make up for them in other ways.
Mod
Oh okay. :)

Molly - They might sometimes be unrealistic, but for me that's part of the fun:-D I love all the angst, so that makes up for any unrealism, lol.. And like you said, she is addictive:-D
Read
and since I was expecting romantic suspense, I was a little disappointed since there wasn't a bit of romance in it, lol... And I just finished
, and have mixed feelings about it... I really hated Eli's actions them ! And since it wasn't as well written as Perfect Sin(even though I hated Rand for most of the book, and the heroine was the saving grace in this book!) and he didn't grovel enough for my tastes, I'm giving it 3 stars..
My daughter LOVES the In Death series.
I'm currently reading

I'm reading

I'm currently reading

I got a copy but have not read it yet. I read the first four of the series and decided that I'm not much for Mysteries, I prefer Romances!
Thanks, Mollie!!I'm currently reading Jessica Bird's
A good week at the library for me. I found they've acquired all of Janet Evanovich's romances, I checked out Thanksgiving, along with Stella Cameron's Out of Mind and Jude Deveraux's An Angel for Emily. Plus, my reserves came in, so it's my turn for Todd McCaffrey's Dragongirl, Nalini Singh's Bonds of Justice, and this one I'm currently reading and loving:
which shows it pays to request books from the library before their official release date.

How are you liking Lover Mine, Mollie.
Katrix, I really enjoyed the Defiant Hero.
Just finished up
. Starting
tonight. Anyone read it?
I've read it, Courtney. I really like or love all of Garwood's historicals.
Oh, and I really liked Untamed :)
Me too! I can't wait for what I assume is going to be Connor's book! :D
Yep, in about a year I think. July of 2011. She told me once, but now I can't remember.
Oooh Courtney, you're going to enjoy Gentle Warrior:-) I read
and
yesterday, enjoyed the first, loved the second (although it wasn't anything extraordinary, just fun and easy, lol):-)
UniquelyMoi *~*Dhestiny*~* wrote: "How are you liking Lover Mine, Mollie."I adored it, like John, love Tohr, and stayed up late to finish it and now I'm running late this morning :P The way the author defines Hellren and Shellan in her preface list of definitions and the way she devoted so much time to Tohr's backstory gives me hope that the next book will be about Tohr (and me... LOL).
About to begin the newest Dragonriders of Pern story

Mollie, the next book is about Payne and Manny and is called Lover Unleashed. She's not too sure when Tohr will get his story. She said that there has to be enough time passing between Wellsie's death and Tohr's new HEA so that the readers will be ok with it.UniquelyMoi <----- Won't be ok with Tohr getting permanent new HEA, ever.

I think that the nature of grief is that eventually it lessens. We never forget our loved ones who are gone, but I'm sure that Wellsie would be the first to tell Tohr that she wants him to live life to its fullest. I bet survivor's guilt is a powerful plot element when Ward chooses to explore T's story.
If No-One could be resurrected because she was guiltless in her death, why couldn't Wellsie? How about the baby? Ward has opened a real can of worms here.
And who the heck is Manny?
As to
, anyone who is curious what I thought about it can find my in-depth review here:Link to Mollie’s review of Lover Mine
has anyone read the F.A.T. series by Rhonda Pollero? It's a romantic myster with some seriously hot P.I. guy who keeps the heroine on her toes.
Manny is the surgeon who was interested in Jane in Lover Unbound. He saw the 6 chambered heart... he didn't play a big role, but at the end of Lover Mine, that's who Jane went to get to help her with the surgery. That's how he's being brought back into the story.As far as grief and all that... I don't want him to be alone here, but I don't want Wellsie and their son having to share him with another female in the Fade for eternity.

If I am not mistaking this is the book that first introduce John Medina.
All The Queen's Men was my first book by Linda Howard. John had captured my heart in that book. I can't wait to see how he first came about.

The woman isn't the heroe's best friend. It would have been good, if the woman was the heroe's best friend.
