What HQNs are you reading right now?

[Leona]

Aruana and Komal..thank you for the suggestion/recommends. I have never read an HP from RD...I will give it a go and let you know...

[Aruana]

Okay ...... I "found" a box of Mills & Boon in the garage. I have no idea how I could have forgotten about it.

I'm in rereading mode at the moment and I'm reading by Michelle Reid.

Here's a peak at what I found ...

[Kouk]

That is a big box of romance Aruana!

Enjoy your books!

Aren't sheiks usually smart? They may need to take a refresher course on how to apply the condoms on correctly. I assume they have a multitude of bananas to practice on where they live. Also, maybe we need to contact them and suggest they go up a size? They do make jumbo for the well endowed if I'm not mistaken. I think they even come in fluorescent and maybe pastel colors if they want to be kinky. Someone send these sheiks a letter or email to let them know. Are any of them on twitter? :)

I just had the hardest laugh ever! Aren't royal's seed very precious and not to be squandered? What about introducing glow in the dark or rough rider condoms?

[Aruana]

Rereading by Jaqueline Baird.

Classic!

[Vashti]

I like her books very much,she is one of my fav's.

[Aruana]

Okay, I've moved on to Maisey Yates. I never realized what a great author she was! Reading .

Any other Maisey Yates recommendations?

Thanks!

The Inherited Bride! Sweet, emotional, and intense- a must read.

[Aruana]

Thank you, Komal.

[Vashti]

Pretty much all of maisey yates you can not go wrong,her books as Komal has said are intense,emotional reads.I gave enjoyed all that she has written so far.

[Aruana]

She's at the top of my list at the moment, giving Abby Green, Jane Porter and Annie West a break.

I just love her everyday descriptions. I can picuture the stuff happening that she writes about. Very down to earth writing and I love her H's internal dialogue.

I agree with this .

Because her brother is in ''An accidnental birthright''

[Aruana]

Ladies, you are all so quiet. It wasn't something I said ......

Just finished The Highest Price to Pay by Maisey Yates.

I'm really starting to like her books! Her heroes are Alpha males, but they aren't total a**holes. This is the first multiracial book that I have read. Excellent.

The only thing I did not like was the fact that there was so much talk of profit. I don't know how many times the word profit and profitable was used in this book. He was a bit too driven to make lots of moola.

Is this thing ever going to be available in the US? I guess I could buy it used from the UK.

[Aruana]

Moving on to by Maisey Yates.

This woman knows how to write a book!

Love her books!

I have to read books by her again soon!

[Kate]

I just finished and highly recommend it if you like the hero-is-the-heroine's-brother's-childhood-best-friend trope.. I know that some people don't like Blazes because of the heat level is sometimes a little hotter than HPS, but this one is on par with an HP. (It's the third book in a series, but I don't think you have to read the first two.)

Kate, I've read a couple of Blazes and I love the heat, BUT I don't like "everymen" that much. I like my tycoons, billionaires etc. The only Blazes I really like are those where the guys are ex Navy Seals etc.

Hi Aruana, sorry I have been a bit behind in posting what I am reading. will do so now!

[Leona]

Hello...just finished the following from good to bad.

... loved loved this book ***** 5 stars!

**** 4 stars!
I thought this was much better than the first

**** 4 stars! Quite hot!


**** 4 stars. Very interesting twist

4 stars! I love JB

2 stars. I really struggled which was surprising to me given I love SM and the high reviews. I wrote a review, if anyone could comment that read it, I would appreciate it. I worry I may have been a bit tough and would welcome others opinions.

** stars at best. I didn't care for H or h.....But LG can be a bit of a hit or miss for me. I find I either love them or hate them, all depending on how she writes the heroine.

Kouk - I know what you mean, her work is excellent...For some reason, this one really touched me. I loved both the Hero and the heroine. I think they truly deserved their HEA!

My favorite Blazes are the ones with the white-collar heroes, who are usually a bit more quirky (the billionaire robotics inventors, trust-fund architect and do-gooder philanthropists) than the HP heroes. But I do usually skip the more "everyday" heroes (current or former military, cowboys, firemen, etc.) because they don't interest me.

(The Laverne and Shirley episode where Ted Danson played Laverne's fireman boyfriend who dies in a fire before he can propose scarred me when I was a kid. I just can't find firemen attractive after that.)

[Leona]

Kate, I don't remember that episode. Yikes that is frightening for a comedy.

[Aruana]

Can I ask: has anyone read "50 Shades of Grey"?

If so, what did you think?

Aruana wrote: "Can I ask: has anyone read "50 Shades of Grey"?

Me too....all the hype has me very curious

[Kate]

Aruana wrote: "Can I ask: has anyone read "50 Shades of Grey"?

I just can't bring myself to read it, partly because it started out as Twilight fan fiction and partly because I hear it's poorly written. And I hate all the fuss that people are making about it -- like it's the first erotica book that's ever been written or bought by women. (And the term "mommy porn" makes me want to gag.)

[Aruana]

I have a friend who lives in the US and she's going to send it to me. It is available here, but if I can get it for free. I told her to mark all the good pages - lol!

There's 2 more books in the series ...

[Leona]

I just finished ** 2 stars. I would not recommend this one. Something was just missing

I am just starting . I have only read two other books by this author, one I loved the other so so...So I am looking forward to seeing how this one shakes out? Has anyone read this one? If so, could you comment...

[Jacqueline J]

Kate wrote: I just can't bring myself to read it, partly because it started out as Twilight fan fiction and partly ..."

This is exactly how I feel about the book. I probably won't be reading it. There are many other books I'm more excited about anyway.

[Komal]

I just started .

[Leona]

Just finished


Don't waste your time...not even a *1 star.

[LoveRomance]

I enjoyed 50 Shades! My advice: Ignore the hype, and read it as you would any other erotic romance. Someone jokingly suggested my book group read it for June, and somehow everyone tacitly agreed (even those who pre-judged the book without enough information! I think they secretly want to read it and now "can" because they "have" to for book group :)). I know I've posted this on another thread, but whether they call it mommy porn or anything else, it's a good thing when people read a book that makes them happy. And maybe stretches a few readers' views of how people can safely and happily act in the privacy of their own homes. Enjoy!

[Vashti]

I have all 3 books,but have yet to read them as yet.I have a hard time with 3rd person writing.But I must say that the book has drawn a lot of non readers out of the woodwork to want to read a book.Right now it is at the bottom of my tbr pile.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

Kate, I don't read Blaze because the storylines don't interest me. I'm not into let's hook up stories, which I know I am in the minority on that. As long as they don't go to erotic-level, I would be okay with reading Blazes, if there was a storyline that got my attention.

I actually love blue-collar heroes. I like the idea of a guy who works hard for a living and hands on. The only thing I don't want to read about is someone worrying about getting evicted or not being able to buy medicine for their sick kids.

[Aruana]

Hi Guys! Anyone here read any of Cherise Sinclair's erotic romances? I've read good things about them, but wanted to get some more opinions. Her books are very expensive over her and I don't want to make a mistake.

Thanks!

[Kouk]

Aruana wrote: "Can I ask: has anyone read "50 Shades of Grey"?

I ordered the Fifty Shades trilogy.
So i hope to be reading that very soon!

I haven't read Cherise Sinclair's books yet.

If you like erotica and like cowboys, i can recommend ''The Rough Riders series'' by

Those books are really good and i just love the Mckay family!

[Aruana]

I actually checked some of her books out this morning! The only thing is that I'm not crazy about the cowboys theme. Isn't that a very American thing?

[Kouk]

Aruana wrote: "I actually checked some of her books out this morning! The only thing is that I'm not crazy about the cowboys theme. Isn't that a very American thing?"

I thought so too, since i'm not an American either!
There are no cowboys where i live!
But the characters are fantastic and sex scenes are very hot.

I tried the first book and i was sold and got the other ones right after it!

I would give a try.


The Mckay family is huge so it's really great that every book is about a different family member.

If you and Arusna want chwrise sinclair,you can pm me on goodreads with your email addy and I can send if you want.

I totally get how that could be a turn off. I'd never really thought about it in that way before because the books still end with a HEA relationship even if neither character was looking for a relationship. But, I have to admit that one of my favorite things about the Blaze line is that it I can find the endings HEA even if it doesn't end with an engagement, wedding or baby -- gives a little variety when compared with Presents and Desire.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

Kate, I'm glad there's something for everyone!
