And no, I do not think ive read anything by Annie West, but I keep hearing about her writing and I will definitely put her in my to-be-read pile! Thanks again for the suggestions!!

The Savakis Merger is one of my all time favorites by AW....
I just started
by HP author Natalie Anderson. It's a ebook novella published by Entangled Publishing (not HP), but I'm enjoying it. It's the first of three Olympic-themed novellas. It's currently 99¢ on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Bargain-Bronze-...

Prince of Scandal I have heard great things about her writing and can't wait to start this one. Do you have any suggestions for her books?
My favorite Annie West is Protected by the Prince: The Weight of the Crown. Although I have to admit she's not one of my highest rated authors -- her books usually average around 3.5 stars for me.
I just finished
which was great, especially the last third of the book. 4 stars. I'll start next the forth and last book of the series
by Annie West.
Okay, I've just finished
by Sharon Kendrick. She is a very hit and miss author for me. She's written some awful books, but wow, this one ..... fantastic. I actually cried. Ciro was an incredible hero and there was a moment where I wanted to slap him(double standards!), but he redeemed himself. Loved Lily. A 5 star for me.

I thought the beginning was well written and witty that it captured me from the first paragraph. Im not really into the tortured hero thing, but this one I found I could not put it down. The only down side would be the insecurity of the heroine. I understand being hurt in the past, but it felt like she was lying to herself about things plain as day! I also read the other book connected with it Prince of Scandal . I liked this book as well especially the heroine and the way she stood up the the hero. I like the strong heroines, they even out those really overbearing masculine men...that I still can't get enough of. Oh ladies, i've been having an Annie West day!! On to another one of her books The Greek Tycoon's Unexpected Wife (In the Greek Tycoon's Bed)
I just finished Coming Home 2 stars..not one of my favorites by this authorKnight's Possession by Carole Mortimer....4 stars...really really enjoyed this story. A nice twist where the hero is kind, shows his love ...and the heroine is the one that has to work through her traumatic past. A nice change of pace and very well done.
Aruana wrote: "I've started

Highly recommended.
Just finished Bought: The Greek's Bride by Lucy Monroe...2 stars...I was very disappointed with this one.
Reading
. My first by Maisey Yates. I'm really enjoying it so far.
Finished After The Loving and give it 5*. Loved it At times I wanted to give a raspberry to the hero. He had the nerve to tell his daughtr that men did not marry the women they they dated and slept with. I would like a copy of this one. I read it on Scribd but do not know how to download. What else is new?
I am reading Bedded for the Spaniard's Pleasure Virgin Brides and Arrogant Husbands, Book 1)3*. Was so-so. I usually like Carole Mortimer's books but did not like this one.
Leona wrote: "Just finished The Ultimate Surrender 4 stars!!! loved it!"That is one of my top favorites though in my mind I have made changes that are not all ways the same each time I read it. The change that usually remain the same is making him leave, at least for a time. I do think he cheated because he spent too much time with the other woman. Also why did his employees know he was married? Supposedly he wore a thin wedding band that matched hers. The OW must have known he was married. Did he tell her not to call his house before or after he broe up with her? I wish the author would tie up the loose ends. I hate it when there can be too much speculation. I still love the book!
I read Gypsy and really enjoyed it. There were times that I had tears without knowing it. Read it on Scribd.

Ginnie, I may be wrong but methinks U got mixed up w/ Michelle Reid - The ultimate betrayal ? X^{D
Just finished
by Anne Hampson....yikes..what a train wreck. 1 star, but if I could give it less, I would.Also,
, 4 stars! What is interesting is this looks to be a Mills and Boon, but when it is republished as something else...

Yes..that sounds like the Ultimate Betrayal

You are so correct! I have not read the PJ one in a few years and my mushy brain was looking at the word Ultmate. Thanks for keeping me on track. Zi should have pulled the the book up to be sure.
Just started reading Carole Mortimer's Lost Love ...I have gotten on this Carole Mortimer kick, and I can't seem to get off....I truly am enjoying her books. I didn't realize what a terrific writer she is...and her older books are just classics.
I'm reading:
I love her books and sheikh's!

I had read some of her books 5-6 years ago, they were good reads but something was missing in the sex element.

Virginia: I read books on scribd too! Honestly it's one of the best things I've found recently. They even have an app for iPhones so I read when I'm on the train too. I just finished Rafes Redemption. I've been on an Annie West quest! Thank you all for the suggestion!

You can pm me if you like to keep the thread on topic.

I just finished..."Jacqueline...Scribd is a great way to get access to a lot of reading material..not just Hp's, but engineering documents, legal documents, books, etc. How it works is you can read anything on your system...but if you want to download it, you need to become a member.
The question if it is legal, depends on the document you are reading and if it is violating copywriter laws. In some instances, based on time, copyright no longer exists. Scribd makes it clear that they do not police copyright, that responsibility rests with the user.
But if you just read it from your computer, I don't see how you are violating anything..It is similar to a library.
Leona, I have tried to find the application to become a paid member but as usual, I can't seem to pull it up. I found a copy of the form as a sample but not one that I could use. I have found so many documents that I am interested in and many books that are hard to find.
Jacqueline wrote: "Aruana wrote: "I've just finished one of Lynne Graham's older books and I've started 
. Can anyone seriously explain to me how these older books are so much better than ..."I am glad to know that you like the older harlequins as I do. Lynne Graham and other favorite authors have been so prolific that most of their ideas for new plots have have been used. Years ago, I could not wait for my new book shipment and I have recently canceled my membership that I had from the 1970's. I have been stacking the books with no interest in most of them.
Yes... for the most part, the older ones are so much better ....there still are some really good ones recently, but they aren't as prolific.
Leona wrote: "Just finished The Dark Side Of Marriage by Margery Hilton. 2 stars."Leona, do you have The Dark side of Marriage In eBook form? If so, can you lend it to me? The cheapest one on Amazon is $2.,that is one that is good to read. I will give you Forgotten Lover by Carole Mortimer if you don.t have it.
yes..I do..I will friend you....and then I can send you my email...

Leona...it was the one by Michelle Reid The Dark Side of Desire ... other than that it was a good book...well written and great chemistry between the hero and the heroine.That part just threw me off.
