I've read To The Edge. Cindy's books titles are close to Suzanne Brockmann's book titles.

I finished Ashes of Midnight and started . It's sad that I'm so addicted to PNR contemporaries that I miss it when it's not there. :)"

Merman, new one for me but it's exciting and he's yummy

Are they similar stories too?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

Meme, have you read Shadow Touch? Rik is introduced in that one. I love that book! Dirk and Steele is a great series.

So, Arch, do you like the Cindy Gerard books?

[Arch]

Meme wrote: "Are they similar stories too?"

They both have the suspense.

Lady Danielle "So, Arch, do you like the Cindy Gerard books?"

To The Edge is the first book that I have read from Cindy. I have another one of her books.

Here's my review.

I had read your review months ago, but I forgot. Thanks.

[Arch]

You are welcome Danielle.

I finished and it was good but not something I would normally read so it wasn't fantastic for me. Definitely no hot dangerous heros in that one. Now I'm going to start something a little more my style. lol

I know what you mean, I read it for book club and didn't like the fake happy ending... when that young circus guy agreed to take him on and care for a total stranger, how realistic was that?
I'm reading by R.C. Ryan. I'd won the sequel in a firstreads drawing and liked it OK. This one hasn't grabbed me yet.

Exactly, what kind of person is going to take care of a 93 year old man out of the kindness of his heart. Especially a circus owner.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Just started my first venture into Lisa Kleypas' contemporary romantic novels.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

Carol, I read that one this year. Very good book. Hope you like it.

Dhestiny, how are you liking The Duke?

I'm reading and

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

Lady D, it's good so far. I'm a little confused about something though. Have you read it? Maybe I'll ask in an update but I'm wondering why Dolph was supposed to marry his uncles daughter. Cousins? Was that acceptable back then?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

I read it, but it was so long ago. It's my understanding that cousin marriage is acceptable in the UK. We have more of an issue with it here in the US.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

Ok, thanks. I know things were different back then, too, but it just struck me odd. I kept going back and forth checking to make sure I had the information right.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

Even today it's no big deal for first cousins to marry in the UK. I know that people would have some serious things to say about it over here, except in the smaller communities. I admit I had a crush on my cousin, but we didn't grow up together. :)

Not saying I would marry my cousin, mind you!

[Melanie]

I'm rereading the first 4 Lords of the Underworld books (read and searching my room for ) to pave my way to in the next couple days:-) Love those demon lords:-D

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

UM and Lady D, one of the best researchers on the Regency era was the woman who singlehandedly created the Regency Romance genre, Georgette Heyer. I just re-read The Grand Sophy and she had first cousins marrying in that story. As a matter of fact, in the U.S. and around the world 200 years ago it wasn't unusual.

The common case of the "Village Idiot" comes from the fact that in a time when travel was difficult, meeting a spouse from another area was unlikely. There was far too much inbreeding, sometimes producing a mentally retarded child.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

Thank you for the information, Mollie!

[Amanda]

Just started and so far really liking it!

[Ez]

Right now I'm reading and .

[Linda]

Taking a break from the Navy Seals and vampires.......was getting too hot:):) Reading

So far interesting but not steamy.....ha ha

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

Linda, what SEALs books do you read?

[Linda]

I read the Tall Dark and Dangerous series by Suzanne Brockmann and am starting to reread the Troubleshooters series.........hot hot hot Navy Seals - ha ha

Any other suggestions similar to these books?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

Oh, gosh... I love Cindy Gerard (I ended up liking her better than Brockmann) for the ex-military men. If you go that route start with her Bodyguards series. If you just like excellent romantic suspense, try Pamela Clare's I-Team series. So, so good!

If you like a little PNR with your RS, try Christine Feehan's Ghostwalker series. I really like that one, too.

Thanks for bringing this one to my attention, Amanda, it looks like something I'd like to read.

You might like Lora Leighs Tempting Seals series, try
(the first in this series was a novella in an anthology I've not bought yet, but I own the rest. I started with this one and loved them.) This series leads into her current Elite Ops series.

In the UK, you can marry a cousin (courtesy of Henry VIII who changed the law to marry his cousin!). However, it is considered sensible for the cousins to consult their GP to ensure that there are no factors in their family's health records that would make their decision to have children inadvisable on medical grounds.

[Darcy]

I will be reading next.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

Thanks, Carol! Good ol' Henry... nothing stood in the way of him getting his woman.

Dhes - how very true !!

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

What I remember about Good ol' Henry was his six wives, I never remember all their names, but it went in this order: Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Outlived him.

Mollie wrote: "What I remember about Good ol' Henry was his six wives, I never remember all their names, but it went in this order: Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Outlived him."

The six wives were:

Catherine of Aragon - divorced
Anne Boleyn - executed
Jane Seymour - died
Ann of Cleves - divorced
Catherine Howard - executed
Katherine Parr - widowed

Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were both first cousins of Henry VIII.

And look how well that turned out for them :)

Yes, they both lost their heads over him. LOL

Caught up with the Lords and read as well as The Darkest Angel in ... Yum:-)

Last night I got an Arcane urge and re-read , now re-reading

[Amanda]

Mollie wrote: "Last night I got an Arcane urge and re-read , now re-reading "

The only thing that I don't like about the Arcane series is that I don't own any of them! (I know, I know, lame remark!) I read all of them through the library, which sucks because I definitely like re-reading them, but I hate buying books that I have already read...

I'm sure some day I'll cave and just buy them

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

Amanda wrote: "...I'm sure some day I'll cave and just buy them "

Usually when I enjoy a library book, I get a copy of it later through online swaps or at Half Price Books. If I'm lucky I'll find it at Goodwill or the Friends of the Library sale shelf for fifty cents. (Many of the books at the last two places are donated by me so I have to shop judiciously.)

But with my favorite authors, like Nora Roberts, Christine Feehan, or Jayne Ann Krentz, it's hard for me to wait until the bookstore decides to mark it 30% off for the hardcover. Larissa Ione has one coming out next Monday, and my library won't be getting that in, so I'm squeezing $15 out of the grocery budget.

Three of my authors have new ones coming out on the 31st and I plan to buy all of them eventually.

[Melanie]

Read this afternoon (4*), then reread my favorite DP (5*), and discovered a new favorite author with , that I just finished.. An amazingly erotic historical romance which I loved.. I practically had tears in my eyes at the end.. 5*! Now I'm starting on the next book, :-)

I love the Bridgerton series as well. My favourites are:

When He Was Wicked
The Viscount Who Loved Me
Romancing Mr Bridgerton

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

I'm going to read Pamela Clare's short story,Heaven Can't Wait.

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

I'm working my way through the contemporary romance piece of Jayne Ann Krentz' Arcane Society series. Currently reading:


I'm another fan of the Bridgerton series. I was turned off of historicals for a while by reading too many mediocre ones, this series restored my faith in them.
