Me, too. I really wish she had a bigger historical backlist.

Have you read Surrender, Untamed, ans Defiant? I love what I've read so far.

I can be ready to read the 3rd Julie James on Monday if that works for everyone else.

[Marcella]

I have not read them Angie. I take it you would highly reccommend them? Ha ha! Monday works for me. I will check with the other girls on the other thread and let you know for sure.

[Kay]

I barely made a dent in . I'm only at 23%. My baby got sick today so I've been cleaning up vomit all night. I'll be staying home tomorrow with him so I'm sure I can get in more reading time.

Lol...I'll stop now!

[Leea]

I'm sorry the babe is sick... you poor thing. I do hope you get extra reading and snuggle time tomorrow :)

I finished and it was amazing. I found myself lost at times but that was just part of the magic.

Now i'm back to and I'm totally a Packard girl :) I just don't trust Otto... Please tell me we know more about them at the end of this book?

[Kay]

Thanks, ladies.

Yes, Leea...you will know more. Just keep reading!!

[Leea]

Ahhh! That's almost worse. haha!

[Kay]

Hahha...my comment didn't help much. I can't wait to hear what you think when you're done.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Sorry to hear Kay. I think more people have said today and yesterday that they are sick or their kids are sick than I've ever seen in one short period of time. Hope you get relief for the little one soon.

Finished
and was not a fan. Starting

thanks, Stacia. I guess something is going around :(

So, do you like the Lux series? Is it worth it to read? It seems like a lot of people seem to really like it. Is there a series you would compare it to?

Hmm...Lux... I think it's a fun series and very easy to get into right away, which is always nice. Daemon is probably somewhere on my top list for sexy male leads. If we're comparing to another series, the first book reminds me distantly of a version of twilight (without the annoying pining and stalking), except the male is an alien with a tortured past, instead of a vampire with a tortured past. And his cockiness is not so much overbearing alpha, but more like the playful kind of cockiness...similar to Jace from MI if you've read that.

[Angie Elle]

Finished . Now onto .

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Wow, Angie....go, go, go!

[Regina]

Defiant is amazing. Such a wonderful end to the series.

Insurgent was good. Lots of violence for YA, tho. But great characters.

[Angie Elle]

These Pamela Clare books are so good! In the end, I think I like Surrender better overall, but Morgan better out of the two brothers.

I am so excited to read hot-headed Connors! Especially after the last line of the prologue.

Yes, I thought Divergent was pretty violent, too. I'm sure Insurgent is even more so!

Angie wrote: "Finished . Now onto ."

I just finished Untamed. wow! Another masterpiece by Clare. I don't think I've ever read an HR like her's before. I won't be picking up the next book just yet. Reading her books gives me anxiety. LOL I have to calm down a little.

[Regina]

haha! Very true. There is a ton of action. I really like her HR compared with her RS.

How is your son?

I am really liking

Thanks! I will have to get to it eventually. I'm just hoping one day I will find a series like Vampire Academy and Dmitri!

Thanks, Laura. He's a lot better now. A day of rest at home with mommy sure helps!

OMG! The end?? For some reason I thought she'd write a book about Wentworth.

He's better now. Thanks for asking. I'll probably drop him off at the sitter's tomorrow. So, back to work for me :(

Have you read Clare's other HR series?

[Regina]

Oh -- sorry your time at home is up. :( But glad he is on the mend and you can sleep tonight.

No, I haven't -- I plan to! But I haven't. I heard it isn't as good as the Ranger series, she wrote it first but I do plan to give it a whirl.

Oh, I could be wrong -- I really want a book about the native american "brother" of the heroes (eek I forgot his name).

Her books are an emotional roller coaster, aren't they? I just hate to interrupt a series if I don't have to. She really is an amazing writer.

[Regina]

The research is done so well too but it isn't overly detailed. I love that she writes about something I don't know much about.

[Kay]

Regina wrote: "Oh, I could be wrong -- I really want a book about the native american "brother" of the heroes (eek I forgot his name). "

I think you're right. Her website says it's a trilogy :(

[Regina]

Oh no!!! I was briefly excited, lol.

[Courtney]

I think I need a change of genre again. Where's my erotica?! *sobs*

[Kay]

Angie...enjoy! I will read it eventually.

How did you like Untamed? Like I said, I was anxious throughout the book....(view spoiler)[It seemed like Morgan was always in danger. First as a French prisoner, next as a spy, then him and Amalie leave the French to head to the farm, when he returns to the british, he's considered a traitor, then his trial...even after he escapes again, I felt like he was in danger all the way until the epilogue. (hide spoiler)] Gah, you're right, I was experiencing an emotional roller coaster just thinking about it.

She said on her website that she'd like to write Joseph's story one day. I would love to read his story!

[Kay]

Regina wrote: "Oh no!!! I was briefly excited, lol."

Me too! Haha! I guess we'll just have read her other HR series. :)

[Regina]

Most definitely. I can't figure out if I am finding better romance and PNR or it is my mood right now haha.

[Kay]

Courtney wrote: "I think I need a change of genre again. Where's my erotica?! *sobs*"

What genre are you reading, Courtney?

[Courtney]

I've been reading a lot of fantasy and they've all been disappointing. Right now I'm reading which is contemporary/fantasy suspense and he's already lusting after her in the first 15 pages.

I know erotica will have that a lot but at least I expect that. So either erotica or a really good urban fantasy, I think. I have a shelf full of Historical Romance but I'm avoiding it because they tend to be so similar.

I know! My heart was in my throat through most of the book! (view spoiler)[And though I'm not usually big on the main character committing murder (except due to the war) I was glad when Morgan killed Rillieux. (hide spoiler)]

I hate it when I'm disappointed too. It seems like I read a handful of ok books before I actually read a good one.

[Kay]

Angie...I was happy for that too!! I hated him!

Regina, I can't remember where you posted it, but you said that a book you read had an amazing first love scene. Do you remember what book you were talking about?

I think it's funny you said this because the author of the Lux series is the author of the series that is almost dead on identical to VA (and the lead is a complete clone of Dimitri). But you've already seen me wrestle with my feelings about how it feels dirty to read such an obvious copy.

However, the Lux series is a lot of fun and the author's style of writing is very relatable.

The only other series I've read which has a male who gives me similar feelings to Dimitri (he's not the same character type but he's a protective warrior) is the one I'm working on now, the Mythos Academy series.

Anyway, back to reading. After being so frustrated with Consequences and struggling through both the Historical Romance and the Contemporary Romance I'm on, I'm hoping the alien book will put me back in a better reading mood.
