Yup, gimme dwama! Read The Secret She Can't Hide by India Grey - 4*. Surprisingly well written, smooth and emotional.

Will do :) I was surprised to find this one in such good condition at the library. I don't think anyone's read it before.
I'm also reading this HQN
(I know it's not an HQN Presents but I still like it a lot).
Mod
"How do you like it? I started reading that one a while back when I first started reading HPs again but I found it to be really boring and DNF'd it.
Mod
(I know it's not an HQN Presents but I still like it a lot)."I don't read the Harlequin Romance line, but I did start reading one by that author and I found her writing to be flirty and fun.
Liz Fielding is one of those authors whose M&B Riva books are published in the US in the Harlequin Romance line. Nicola Marsh's Riva's are sometimes HPE and other times Harlequin Romance, and my understanding is that the main difference is the heat level (Romance line is PG-13, whereas HP and HPE are more likely to be R).I just finished
(liked it but gave it 3.5 stars because it wasn't as spicy as I expect for Blaze).I'm now a chapter into
, and it's off to a good start (very funny meet cute for the hero and heroine).
I'm just starting
. In the mood for a secret baby.
Started
last night and like Kate will start
later today. That leaves one more book for November and then I can finally move on to December!

Yeah, it is a little bit flat... The last 10 days I can't finnish the last 20 pages...
I just finished
-- loved it (★★★★★). It's one of those books where I wished I was the heroine.I was going to start
next, but I'm just tired of the virgin widow trope, so I think I'm going to skip it all together. I really need to stop feeling like I need to read every HP -- especially when the synoposis just doesn't strike my fancy. I don't understand why I feel the need to read all HPs but not all Desires or Blazes (I usually skip the ones with cowboy or military heroes).So, I ended up starting
.
Mod
Kate, in my humble opinion, you are making a wise choice in skipping the Kim Lawrence book. I couldn't get past the TSTL heroine's TSTL stupidities in the first chapter and just gave up in total disgust.

I enjoyed the Tessaa Radley book

I'm onto
. So far, pretty much what I expected based on the Orsini Brothers series -- probably will end up being a three or three-and-a-half star book for me.
I am just about to finish reading
Sorry I cannot recommend it. Featuring TSTL heroine and hero, contrived writing, typos and occasional bad grammar.
Just finished
(★★★★). The hero is a real jerk for much of the book, but I still really liked it -- probably because I could understand where he was coming from (even though I totally disagreed with him). And he does a pretty good 180 at the end.And now I can finally start on December releases. First up is
.
Almost finished His Christmas Acquisition. Not sure how I feel about this one. Started off wonderfully, but the last quarter is meh.

I'm in half of
. And I really liked it so far. 5 stars.
I just finished
. Amazing!!! Great hero and heroine, suspense, drama and hot-hot-hot sex scenes!
Two days ago I started
, I hope it will be as good as the first one of the McCabe series.
I just finished
(★★★★★). So sad that it's Sandra Hyatt's last book. She'd quickly become one of my favorite Desire authors.Tonight, I'll start
.
Over the past couple of days, I've read two non-HP novellas by HP authors (Kelly Hunter and Natalie Anderson), and enjoyed both of them!
★★★★
★★★★½
I started reading On the First Night of Christmas... this afternoon, and I adore it. The chemistry between these two is exciting! I am so happy that I took a mini HP break over Christmas. It really helped!
Mod
Taking a break from these once in a while is crucial for your maximum enjoyment of them when you do read them! I really enjoyed this one.
I enjoyed this one (probably the best of the December selection), but had a hard time overcoming the fact that she jumped into a strangers car! The entire time I was reading it I kept thinking...'but she just jumped into a strangers car!! Is noone concerned about this?' Sigh, my brain gets stuck these days....
Mod
Oh, I had a major issue with that one but I've already ranted about it so enough said :P.
yeah, it just ruined the whole feel of the book for me!
That was a huge issue for me as well, otherwise it was a fantastic read! Lulu, I couldn't agree more. I tend to get HP burnout every so often!
The fact that the heroine questioned her own action (of jumping into a stranger's car) and that it was an expensive car (not that baddies couldn't have expensive cars) made it bother me a bit less. Although, I'm not sure it's any less safe than the heroines that go off with guys they meet in a bar, hotel elevator, store, etc.

Going to start
to continue with the series.
Sheila I liked this one better than some of the others in the Wolfe series. I will have to read the Christmas one and would like to read the Lee book but have no idea where I stowed it. I like some in the Dec. group when I read them but didn't think I would. We can change our minds, I finished The De Santis Marriage (Wedlocked!) and loved it. Michelle Reid is one of my favorite HP authors and when I am bored with current titles I choose old ones to read. She has npot had a new one lately.

Just finished
by Melanie Milburne and just started
