Welcome, Lori! I hope you enjoy Lisa Kleypas. She's one of my all-time favorites...Devil in Winter and Mine Till Midnight are my two favorites from her series.
I actually love Deanna Raybourn, too, but I didn't totally fall for her until the second Lady Julia book, Silent in the Sanctuary. Her family is an absolute riot and Brisbane develops into an irresistible leading man. :)
Never read any Julie Garwood--you'll have to let us know what you think!

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Hi Lori. I'm another great fan of Lisa Kleypas and can highly recommend her recent Hathaway historical series. Another favourite author of mine is Loretta Chase whose books are both sexy and funny.

[Grace]

Just started 'The Conqueror' by Brenda Joyce.
This is the first of hers I've read and she has quite a back list.
Interested to see what she's like.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

I'm reading . Loretta Chase is superb at writing deliciously sexy books laced with loads of humour.

Couldn't agree more--this was the first of her books I read and it's still probably my favorite!

What order do the books come in?
I like the sound of Between the Devil and Desire but I'd like to read the books in order (anal I know!)

[Bridget]

I'm absolutely the same way, Grace!
The series goes:
In Bed With the Devil

Between the Devil and Desire

Surrender to the Devil


I think this series has the best covers of all her books, too! Enjoy!

Bridget, don't forget the 4th book in the series ' Midnight Pleasures with a Scoundrel'.

I agree about the covers particularly the back covers!

[Bridget]

Erm..misdirected comment. Mea culpa!
I totally forgot the fourth book, thanks!
It's in my TBR pile now and I can't wait to get to it :)

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Just finished - romantic,sexy and funny.

and started - I'm really enjoying Nicola Cornick's Scandalous Women of the Ton series.

[Bridget]

Just finished:
Absolutely loved it-heart-rending, funny and with two characters I respected as well as adored...and some interesting history, to boot...

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

I intend to read the Wallflower series so it's an excellent excuse to re-read (for about the sixth time) the prequel, my all time favourite Lisa Kleypas book

[Marilyn]

Just finished To Desire a Wicked Duke: A Novel by Nicole Jordan. Now, contemplating my next one: Deadly Vows by Brenda Joyce (latest in her Deadly series) or The Scarlet Lion by Elizabeth Chadwick.

[Bronwyn]

I have just finsihed listening to on CD and I loved it. I have just started listening to on CD and I am listening to on my IPod, I am really enjoying this story and I am reading , but I am not really enjoying it as much as I was hoping to and now that I have borrowed it for another 3 weeks from the library I might go on to which I need to complete this month for the challenge.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

I'm reading -a collection of three sexy adult stories by Lila DiPasqua, each one inspired by a popular children's fairy tale.

Hi Carol, How did you find this book, I have just finished too for me it was not quite as good as I expected.

I am currently listening to and reading and I am trying to finishe listening to and

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Hi Bronwyn (a very Welsh name), I really enjoyed Awakened by a Kiss. I found the stories original and the fact that it was set in the French court of Louis XIV was refreshing as so many historicals are set in Regency England. The only criticism I have is that occasionally for me the explicit language tended the lessen the ambience of certain scenes.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

I'm just about to start - hope my expectations aren't too high!

I've read and just started

Now I'm reading . Loving it so far.

[Bridget]

Eternal Rider was quite good...It was nice to see some of the characters from her other series put in an appearance, as well.

Just finished . My heart is broken with the ending, but I'm holding out for the next book in the series to *hopefully* make it right again...

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Just finished - a beautiful and poignant love story!

Started

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

I've just started which a re-read being the only book in the Wallflower series I had already read some years ago.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

I'm taking a short break from Lisa Kleypas's Wallflowers series and currently reading by Beverley Eikli, a new author to me.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Bronwyn, loving the Wallflowers series so far. Three quarters of the way through Devil in Winter

[Bridget]

On a kick from the Carina Press: just finished Lessons in Indiscretion (loved it!) and have Portrait of Seduction ready to go. Non-romance wise, I'm nearly done with Anno Dracula. Love it. LOVE. IT.

And Devil in Winter is my favoritest Wallflower Book--hope you enjoy, Carol!

Bridget, just finished Devil in Winter and loved Sebastian and Evie. Perfect chemistry. LK did an amazing job in redeeming Sebastian, after what he did at the end of It Happened One Autumn, and making it so believable. Loved how Evie came into her own in this book and showed such inner
strength.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Thanks, Bridget.

Currently reading - an ARC from NetGalley. The book is published 19 July.

[Bridget]

Just finished
Oh. My.
I borrowed this from the library on a whim, having never read any of Sophie Jordan's works before now..and was up until 3am feverishly finishing it. Went back today and got all the rest of her books on the shelves!

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

I'm reading

[Bridget]

I really enjoyed that one, Carol, though there's very little that Laura Lee Guhrke has written that I don't adore. :)
Just finishing up and thought is was absolutely sensational--funny and sweet with a great hero and heroine. I'm heading out to get her newest A Lady's Lesson in Scandal tonight!

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Bridget, I've just finished Scandal of the Year and loved it. I think over all it was better than Wedding of the Season. My favourite book by Laura Lee Guhrke is still Guilty Pleasures.

I've got Proof of Seduction by Meredith Duran on my TBR pile. Is she good because she's a new author to me?

[Bridget]

To be honest, Carol, I've not heard of that book by her (though I know Courtney Milan wrote one with the same title...). But I have read The Duke of Shadows and Wicked Becomes You--while they are really different (I didn't realize she was the author of both for ages!) they are both really well-written and the characters are wonderfully real and flawed and funny and passionate. I like that, by and large, the "problem" keeping the Hero and Heroine apart isn't a murderous spy or a deadly secret, so much as it is their own foibles and fears. Feels much more realistic and rewarding. I just started A Lady's Lesson in Scandal and it looks to be equally as wonderful. Hope you enjoy!

Bridget, no wonder you've not heard of that book by Meredith Duran because I must had a senior moment!! The book I've got is by Courtney Milan. Must have been the names sounding slightly similar.
