Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I think I'm going to read Burn (Dark in You #1) by Suzanne Wright and also check where I stop in Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series.


message 904: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I started and finished Burn (Dark in You #1) by Suzanne Wright yesterday. Stayed up late to finish it.

It has been a while since I read a satisfying PNR book and truly enjoyed this one. I thought the characters were quite sensible. The hero was hot, the heroine feisty...and though they have challenges in their relationship...i'm so pleased to meet characters who don't do stupid stuff....5 stars

Sandra | 4260 comments Glad you enjoyed Burn Yz, I like SW already, but this one was exceptionally good :)

Suzanne (esmerelda1) | 2244 comments Random Book List Challenge #262

I finished reading My Life as a White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland and loved it! It was really funny, but I love the main character. She's so flawed and those types of characters are so interesting. Reminds me of Unholy Ghosts which is really good too.

My Life as a White Trash Zombie (White Trash Zombie, #1) by Diana Rowland


message 918: by Dragana (new)

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) Finished Cold-Hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas on the 4th. 3.5 stars
I'm a big LK fan and was over the moon when I hear there is another historical romance by her. My expectations were very high. 'Cold-Hearted Rake' was nice, but I have read better novel by her. Still there is a promise of a good romance series. The side characters were more quirky and intriguing than main couple and I can't wait for their stories.

It gets better after about 20-30% when Devon's brother and cousins get bigger roles in the story.

Something about this story didn't fit her normal style. Even a bad main lead character like in Devil in Winter (Wallflowers, #3) by Lisa Kleypas was still interesting and engaging.
Devon was (view spoiler)

I felt the same way. It felt like someone tried to copy/merge her 'Devil in Winter' and The Hathaways with mediocre success.


message 930: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 2657 comments Well I am so sad so I have to read another LK book to wash my mind of this taste. My two current audio choices for reading palate cleanse: Somewhere I'll Find You (Capital Theatre, #1) by Lisa Kleypas or Someone to Watch Over Me (Bow Street Runners, #1) by Lisa Kleypas . Any thoughts on which?


message 931: by Dragana (new)

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) I've read 'Somewhere I'll Find You' and didn't like it. It was 3 years ago and I don't remember anything now. (except GR rating).
Sorry I was not of more help.

Alright. I just read The Duke and I (Bridgertons, #1) by Julia Quinn


message 933: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) I also finished Cold-Hearted Rake (The Ravenels, #1) by Lisa Kleypas and enjoyed it overall. I love a good love/hate relationship.


message 934: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments I read A Christmas Kiss by Jess Michaels today, Nov. 17th. For a short story it packed a lot of emotion. I really enjoyed this little freebie. I was rooting for Stephen and Amelia from the first page. 4*

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I read both Cold-Hearted Rake (The Ravenels, #1) by Lisa Kleypas and A Christmas Kiss by Jess Michaels for this list.

I enjoyed the Kleypas book although I have to admit I am more interested in the secondary characters. 4 stars

A Christmas Kiss was a pleasant short read. 3 stars


message 936: by Vi (new)

Vi | 2794 comments I too read Cold-Hearted Rake and I'm feeling slightly underwhelmed. Like others said, I am more interested in the secondary characters.
