summer season reading challenge10.1- Stormy Weather
Read LISA Kleypas- Married by Morning 7/2010
25.5 Share The Summer Love- A. Right now my favorite genre is Contemporary Romance- I read The Pregnancy Test by Erin McCarthy. I love Contemporary because I sometimes find myself relating to the characters in some way, seeing myself in their shoes or just wishing it was me. This book was funny and romantic and sexy. The heroine was going through a difficult time but managed to be witty and hold herself together and find love all at once- I admired her.
B. My second favorite genre is Erotic Romance- the reasons why are kind of obvious. I love a good love story with a HEA and if there is steam and passion all the better. I read Unlaced an anthology by 4 authors, including GR authors Jaci Burton and Denise Rosetti. I loved this book for many different reasons. The first story is about divorce and rediscovery between a couple- I love when old loves reunite and rekindle their passion. The second story is about a woman in her 40's (my age bracket) who finds passion with a younger man and learns to take risks. The thought of taking risks as you get older and discovering new things about yourself is very appealing to me. The other 2 stories were nice reads and hot.
