[Ms.soule]

I'm going to have to read It's Now or Never since it's the only one I can get ahold of right now that I haven't already read.

[Annie]

I finished Believe some time (exact date at home). Fun, but had to disconnect my scepticism.

[Ms.soule]

Just finished It's Now or Never - a very quick read and surprisingly good, especially for a Christian short story. There was definite passion & intense emotion considering you know the characters for all of 7 pages and they don't do anything "dirtier" than kissing - the sexual awareness through body language and eye contact reminded me of Janet Oke's books. Definitely a Christian author to watch.

[Ceej]

Finished I Am the Messenger and I liked it.

[Mojca]

Forgot to post...
Read It's Now or Never. Nothing extraordinary, but not bad either.

[Valorie]

I finished I Am the Messenger. Pretty good, not fantastic but good.

[Caleb]

I finished Captive Bride on 12-10-11.
I've only read one other book by Johannah Lindsey, but I remember enjoying that one more. This one really got bogged down by details that probably were not necessary and I don't think that I liked the female - she was too much a contradiction to herself. I liked Phillip, he was the reason that I kept reading. In the end, everything worked out and I liked it, but I didn't love it.

[Katia]

i finished Bonds of justice yesterday (12/11),i just looove these series and this combo was new!human male+psy female!nice nice nice

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Read Conquering Kate yesterday (12 Dec). It was an OK way to spend a couple of hours, but not a book that I really liked. 3 stars. I'd probably buy the next book (Capturing Cass) if the author ever writes it!!... just to find out how Jadik fairs in the last of the Oaths. But given the book I read was first published 7 years ago (and the one before it, 8 years ago), I doubt we'll ever see it...

Now I really want to get caught up on the series! I've only read book 1 and 2, I really like the series, I just haven't gotten around to book 3 yet!

[Daffodil]

Finished I Am the Messenger on Saturday, 12-11-10. Although it's hard to review without revealing spoilers, I really liked this book. Ed's journey as the messenger ends up being a lesson for character and reader alike. 4 Stars.

If you enjoyed this one, you should read The Book Thief.

[Sandra]

Wow, I've never read a book before that was so close to plagarism. I finished Captive Bride and the plot, the characters, the setting are almost the same as The Sheik. I know E.M. Hull died in 1947 but that is no excuse. Still Joanna Lindsey did write well, if not imaginatively, so 3 stars.

BTW, The Sheik written in 1919 was scarier and better.

The second half of the book has them all back in England so that is different at least.

Which title are you referring to, Dee?

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

I'm in for It Happened One Autumn.

[Sheila]

I think I'll go for Deep Dish. It's been a while since I've read a Mary Kay Andrews novel.

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

By the way, To Teach an Ancient God is an ebook freebie.

[Mandy]

I'm going to re-read Darkfever and read To Teach an Ancient God.

That's great, Fran, since the final book for this series is being released on January. You will not experience the torture we fans had to go through with all the cliffhangers. : )

[~Megan~]

I think I'm going to try Darkfever...I've heard great things about the series!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I would like to read It Happened One Autumn but I'm not sure if I can get it in time. I'll let you know...

I did get lucky- hate when you have to wait so long between books :)

[Dee]

[Dee]

i'm listening to bloodfever right now, so i'll be doing book 3 of the fever series - faefever, i think (or is it dreamfever)

[Joyce]

romance reader random book list #3 PART 2

Kiss of Fire by Deborah Cooke or possibly re-read of Darkfever. I want to read the next one but it has been so long since I read the first one I might need a refresher.

[Sandra]

Wow, I just read two weeks ago The Private World of Georgette Heyer for the dare you to read one of each genre challenge.

I'll be reading Kiss of Fire as I've got it in challenges for January.

Sandra wrote: "Wow, I just read two weeks ago The Private World of Georgette Heyer for the dare you to read one of each genre challenge.

Well...what do you think of the book? Would you recommend it, just in case someone is toying about chooosing it for this challenge?

[SandyC]

I'll read Darkfever. Got it as a free download on my Nook awhile back!

[Annie]

I'm going with The Private World of Georgette Heyer.

[Sandra]

If you've ever read Georgette Heyer, you'll be fascinated. I gave it 4 stars, but I'm not really into biographies.

I did do a review, basically just for my memory - my review

[Valorie]

I'm going to try and get to Kiss of Fire

[Annie]

Thanks Sandra! Looking forward to it.

[Sandra]

Pleasure Annie :)

[Mandy]

So, To Teach an Ancient God is REALLY brief - cute story, but 3 stars for brevity. (Completed 12/21)

[Fran, Moderator]

To Teach an Ancient God is a free read at allromance.com. I just downloaded it and like amanda mentioned, it's short.

[Fran, Moderator]

OK, I read To Teach an Ancient God - I liked it, but way too short. 3*

[Lynne]

I read To Teach an Ancient God, but hey I had five minutes. I'd only give it two stars. I'm planning on reading Thorn Queen though as well.

[Barbara ★]

Again I'm going with the first book in the series, Storm Born instead of Thorn Queen.

[Lili]

Since I already read It Happened One Autumn, can it trade it for Devil in Winter?
or does it have to be a book from the list?

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

Yes.

You can read a book within the series. It will not count for the original book, but it will count for you completing the challenge.

[Sheila]

I finished Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning Done 1/1/11

Excellent book!

[Carolyn F.]

Okay I finished Bonds of Justice, not my favorite. I think I'm the only one who could care less about the psy network with the stars. Very boring for me.

[Renee]

Finished It Happened One Autumn on 12/27

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

Just finished It Happened One Autumn. Another 5-star read from Kleypas. Really enjoyed this second book in her Wallflower series.

[Sandra]

Finished Kiss of Fire and really enjoyed it. A solid 4 stars, looking forward to the rest of the series.

[Lili]

I finished Falling For Gracie by Susan Mallery and gave it 4 stars.
It's a sweet love story... the characters are really likable and the writing is very light and easy to read.

I also read Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas sin I had already read It Happened One Autumn... very very good book, I gave it 5 big big stars!. Love the series!!!
