I'm now reading by Sylvia Day. It's my first read by this author, other than a short story from many moons ago. So far I'm quite liking this one.

I was worried about this book because of some reviews, but I'm glad I bought it anyway! Loved Lev and Rikki! Can't wait for the next in the series

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

I loved Water Bound! I'm currently reading .

Thanks for the info on cousin marriage, ladies. Pretty interesting.

[Arch]

I can't read a book about cousin marriage.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

I respect that, Arch.

I've finished working my way through the contemporary romance piece of Jayne Ann Krentz' Arcane Society series. In the past 30 hours I blew through:
and

I think I'll re-read some of her Harmony series written as Jayne Castle in preparation for the new one coming out in a week and a half. In the meantime, I've got to read my library books before they turn into pumpkins.
About to start

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

Oh, Katie, I'm so jealous. I haven't fit the Demonica series into my budget yet, and I'm not surprised that they're not in my public library system if they're anything like Snowbound.
was pretty good, and was fantastic. It earned the longest review I've ever written for a nonfiction book.
Next will probably be (which I get to keep for 3 weeks because I checked out the large print version).

I think you will really like her books. I recently read 'Sugar Daddy' as well which is the first book in her Travis series of contemporary romances. I am going to read the other two, 'Blue-Eyed Devil' and 'Smooth Talking Stranger'.

I do prefer her historical novels and 'Mine Till Midnight' is the first book in the Hathaway series which I absolutely loved. You need to read them in order to fully appreciate the series. The others in order are:

Seduce Me At Sunrise
Tempt Me At Twilight
Married by Morning
Love in the Afternoon

If you become an addict like so many of us, you might want to check out the 'We Love Lisa Kleypas' Group.

Yes, I think they are out of print now.

Just reread the Tairen Soul books... I can't wait (71 days to go) till the last book in the series!!!! I should have waited to reread them till book 5 came out, but I couldn't wait to read about Rain again!

My library doesn't have the Demonica series either, but the weird thing is is that they do have the first three Sydney Croft books (but not the last two, which drives me crazy)! Seems like if they have one, they should have the other, seeing as Sydney Croft is partly Larissa Ione...

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

Carol wrote: "...If you become an addict like so many of us..."

Could be, could be. I already own every romance written by Nora Roberts , as well as those by Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick/Jayne Castle/Samantha James. Does this indicate an addictive personality? LOL

A new experience for me this week, I had to give one star to , a book that was a sequel to a five star book. So sad, I'd loved her historicals.

Today I'm re-reading before it has to go back to the library. This is the first time I've loved a book enough to read it twice before buying a copy.

[Love love]

I'm reading and I'm loving it. =) The H ,Lachlain, is definitely a dangerous hero.lol

[Melanie]

Just finished :

Frankly, I really didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would, and I'm glad I didn't buy the next two books ... I found the characters seriously lacking in depth: I felt no connection to either heroine or hero, and the whole plot with her fiancé seemed contrived...

***SPOILER ALERT***

The worst for me was when the heroine loses her virginity: they're on a hunt, the hero/heroine slip away to a cabin in the woods, and not 5 minutes inside, and he's slipping into her.. The whole act, including (lack of) foreplay didn't last 7 minutes!!! seriously????

Sorry, I'm just disappointed in this book, especially after reading Lisa Valdez or even Jess Michaels!

Not something I would particularly recommend, which is unfortunate because the three brothers really are hot:-) 2 stars

Melanie wrote: "Just finished : Frankly, I really didn't enjoy it ... I found the characters seriously lacking ..."

Melanie, I felt the same way about , that one got two stars from me. I just hope I remember to avoid more of these in the future.
Last night I finished and read and . These all are very good, although I'm a bit tired of Lindsey's formula. What a delicious hero she writes, I just wish the plot and the other characters were as good.

Will probably dive in to some more Dark-Hunters or some Kleypas next, as I've got to get them back to the library.
I'm currently reading nonfiction:

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

I'm reading . If you like warriors, you can't do much better than a MacKinnon. :)

Melanie that sounds painful and uncomfortable. Yikes!

Noelle, I loved A Hunger Like No Other. That seems to be a love it or hate it book for a lot of readers.

Thanks for calling this author to my attention. I'm not too fond of historicals, but I see that she also writes a contemporary series and her ratings are usually above 4, so I'm going to give her a try.

Finished and now I'm reading .

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

I'm reading a few things at once at present. I started
and learned that I'm supposed to have read the Wallflowers first, so I've set it aside at page 66 while I wait for the public library to dig up a copy of the first one for me (only one copy in the county library system, but at least they had it).
The nonfiction book is cute, but I tried one of the recipes and I could do better. I'm in the gardening part now.

Last night and this morning, to avert the temptation to read more of Mine Till Midnight, I read a couple of erotic romance anthologies:

Well I can tell that I'm going to love it too. I just read a few weeks ago and I have to agree with you about the MacKinnon. I just love how they keep a flask of poisoned whiskey in their bags in case of being captured, in hopes that the ones who captured them would drink it. Vera' smart.lol

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

I thought Kiss of the Rose was pretty good. A unique take on the vampire world.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

Mollie, I read , and it was very good. I admit I am more of a historical girl, except for paranormal and Harlequin/Silhouette, or ones with dangerous/edgy heroes and action, so I prefer her historicals. I was pretty impressed, all the same.

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

Oh, Katie, you lucky duck, you.

I'm reading that I got from Half Price Books, and found out that my copy is autographed by one of the authors.
Dangerous heroes lovers, I've been waiting a long time for someone to swap because it had a Lora Leigh title in it. I've learned that yesterday she released it as a single title ebook and I bought it right away... this is the first time I've gotten something for my kindle that wasn't free.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

Mollie, I love how much free stuff you can get on Kindle!

[Darien]

I am re-reading , I liked it the first time, who knows I might love it now.

I am also reading nothing like a little M/M lovin.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

I'm plowing through Nina Bruhn's series. I've read the first two books, and . Now I'm reading .

Me too, last week I got Dracula and Frankenstein in preparation for a horror challenge on another site. I found most of the freebies to be books in a series (they're hoping to get me to buy the rest of the series) or mediocre erotic novellas (don't waste your time on most of the Naughty Nooners, they're even shorter than novellas in anthologies).

Thanks for the warning Mollie! Mine Till Midnight is waiting for me at the library and I had no idea about the pre-reads! Gah! More waiting now!

Anywho...still working my way through the Bridgertons by Julia Quinn and loving every second of it. On Francesca's book and loving it, of course. SO SAD right now! Can't WAIT for the romance to start!! ;)

Yes, that's a good one.

Mollie, most of my Kindle freebies are classic/lost genre books. I'm in heaven here.

What genre?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

'genre' meaning non-literary: horror, adventure, science fiction, fantasy, even romance.

I loved 'When He Was Wicked' and I thought Michael Stirling was just yummy. The romance is definitely worth waiting for!

[Melanie]

UM, what did you think of Nina Bruhns? I've heard mixed reviews and am wondering whether or not to try her books..

Read and reread yesterday afternoon, then, last evening, I finally got back to the Hathaways and read : I loved all three books, although I have a soft spot for Harry Rutledge:-) Now I need to read Smooth Talking Stranger, which I have yet to get around to:-) LK is such an amazing author!

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

Lady Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "'genre' meaning non-literary: horror, adventure, science fiction, fantasy, even romance."

Gotcha. Well, I've downloaded nearly all the romance ones.

Currently reading Lynn LaFleur's book I found at half price books, I'm not enjoying it much because it's more erotic tease than story substance. What's wrong with a plot and some character growth, Lynn?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

Melanie, I'm enjoying the Bruhns books. These are a little different in that each book has more than one relationship building or HEA. More relationships to follow.

The writing is good, the terrorist storyline starts in book 1 and goes through book 3 rather than each book having its own. It's like 1 long story broken into 3 books.

There is quite a bit of sex in them, and it happens at unlikely times, like when the hero and heroine who are running for their lives, literally, find a place to rest for a couple hours from the bad guys who are right on their tails, but if you don't mind that, you ought to give them a try.

Hope that helps!

[Courtney]

Finished up . *tear* Such an amazing story! She finished it so well!

Starting ! SO excited for Hyacinth's story! Girl needs something to do!

[Mollie *scoutrmom*]

Yes, Courtney, those Bridgertons are great.

The Lynn LaFleur book I was reading is one for everyone to avoid, a poor excuse for a novel. Then I read a Lunewulf book by Lorie O'Clare called In Her Blood which wasn't much better.

Now I've dived into Lisa Kleypas' Wallflowers, read the first one yesterday and ran right back to the library today for this one.

I've put in requests for the next two, as my branch doesn't have them. I requested both the regular and the large print version so as to have a better chance of getting them quick!
