I'm in too. Believe it or not I have never read a Gena Showalter book and am reading reviews now. I do have Deep Kiss of Winter but couldn't get into GS's alien series (I bought it for the IAD story). I was thinking of trying the Alantis series. I would like something a little lighter and have been enjoying the reviews by Lady D.
I'm in for this one... nice categories, easy to pick ones which will fit.
Here's my listNew authors:
1.Song of Scarabaeus by Sara Creasy
2.Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake by Sarah Maclean
Old fav's:
3.Iron Crowned by Richelle Mead
4.Lust by Charlotte Featherstone
