What Are You Reading Now?
Regina, I'm glad you liked her enough to read more. I like her too but I usually don't feel all happy when I finish reading them. LOL I just have to be ready for that when I pick up a Hart book.

What other Hart books have you liked? I've read Naked and Dirty as well as these Alex books.
It is weird, I felt fully satisfied by the story itself. Just not the sex scenes. ;) I really liked that they were flawed fully fleshed out (haha) characters. I could understand how the threesome play happened in the context of this story and I thought it was great she showed its after affects. I just thought also, that the mother in law was very unrealistic. Maybe I am naive though. I haven't read Naked, off to check it out.
I need to read some other stuff by her.
I am laughing at myself because I realize now that I like my erotica tortured. LOL. I remember the earlier discussion about Hart and people seem to come down on one side or another for her. So what should I read next by her?
OK--last time I was in a reading slump, it was Maya Banks who pulled me out.I need a kick ass book to get me out of my slump, gals. What'll it be?

Tortured erotica isn't bad! LOL
I liked
and the main character has flaws. If you want a sad messed up situation, try
but a lot of people didn't seem to like this one. That's all I've read by her besides the rest of the Alex books.

What are you in the mood for? I hate reading slumps.

I really just want a good Regency read. The last four I've read have been disappointing.
If it's part of a series, it would have to be the first one, though. I'm a stickler for reading books in order.
Or, if you've read Rock Me, something hot like that! LOL
Angie, have you read any books by Lorraine Heath? If not, try
or if you're in the mood for westerns, she has some amazing ones. I always find Lisa Kleypas very satisfying as well as a re-read of Judith McNaught :) I haven't read a good regency for awhile now so that's all I can think of for now.

LOL That got me thinking about perky erotica. Which sounds wrong on all kinds of levels.
Hahaha!! I finished
and, WOW! If you haven't read this series you need to, I love these damaged characters and how Littlefield takes you on this amazing adventure. What you thinks going to happen and what takes place is always changing and it's just amazing. I was at the edge of me seat. I cannot wait to see how this ends in
. I'm already half way done and so many twists and turns. Please tell me (view spoiler)

I always find Lisa Kleypas ..."I've never read Lorraine Heath, but I have been eyeing her books lately. I bought the one you suggested and I'm going to start as soon as I finish
. Thanks for the suggestions. :)
Have you read LK's Bow Street Runner series? I haven't yet, but it's been in my TBR pile forever. If you have, how is it?
Tellulah wrote: "Regina wrote: "I am laughing at myself because I realize now that I like my erotica tortured. LOL. I remember the earlier discussion about Hart and people seem to come down on one side or another..."Really? I think that sounds like all kinds of fun!
I haven't read Bow Street yet, let me know how it is :)
I agree completely Leea!!! But you will have to wait and see. All I can say is I was very satisfied with the end. Tellulah - lmao perky erotica. :). I agree do completely. I am happy to admit I like tortured erotica.
I am liking the LK book so far. Working late and listening. :)
I'm at 85% and I want to know so bad (view spoiler)Time to take a reading break and hang out with my husband, I cannot wait to hear how this all ends.
You can put a book down with only 15% to go? You are a stronger woman than I! Once I hit 75%, I'm not going anywhere until it's done.
lol! I know... problem is I basically read all day and now my husband wants attention. Duty calls. Plus I was up at 5am for some reason this morning.
Finished
which was pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was the long hair on the hero. That's just not attractive to me.I'm starting
today!
Hey Leea, you around here? Got a question!
Angie wrote: "You can put a book down with only 15% to go? You are a stronger woman than I! Once I hit 75%, I'm not going anywhere until it's done."LOL, Angie! That's how I am too! And he'll want my attention and I'll say "I've only got 15% left!"
I'm feeling the strangest urge to read the Troubleshooters, but won't without you, lmao. So I was just wondering if you're still reading Aftertime. No pressure! If you're not ready I can pick up something else. I just need something without magic for now, and thought I'd ask if you wanted to before we start Under the Never Sky on thursday.

Ooh. Are you starting from the beginning? I could go for a Troubleshooters reread, and the a catch up. Regina would like that! LOL
We haven't gotten through them all yet. We're on book 7.
Leea, I'm going to read
, lol. We can just stick to the original plan, lmao. I'm sorry to be yanking your chain, hahaha.
Sorry, I was writing my review of Horizon, I just finished. I can start Troubleshooters if you want? I was about to read another post apocolypse books,
but can hold off... let me know :)
I am reading
, flip flopping it with
in an effort to finish. I wish I had it in me to leave a book unfinished.
Loving
so far!

Leea wrote: "Sorry, I was writing my review of Horizon, I just finished. I can start Troubleshooters if you want? I was about to read another post apocolypse books,

It's up to you, since I'm throwing a wrench in your plans. I can start Troubleshooters if you're feeling that. If not I'll either bite the bullet and start First Days with you, since I've had that, or continue with Double Clutch...
Off to read your review, did you like the series?
Right now I am currently reading
just about 80 pages into it. Hopefully this book will grow on me, I really want to finish it! I had high expectations going into this book!!
I absoulutely loved it. It is very dark and not very inspirational though, as a warning. I listened to the audio.
Elizabeth, this may help decide if it is for you - -my review is long and has absolutely no spoilers: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
LOL Leea, that is exactly what I did! The AFtertime series pushed me into the apocalypse genre. ;)

LOL YES I WOULD! :D

Charles is one of my favorite male characters ever. I love that series. :)

The Double Clutch books were so good! Loved them!
Just finished
and
. I haven't read something I liked this much in a long time. I'm a huge sucker for tortured love stories though. This one really got to me, I read both books in a short time; started the last one at 7pm last night and finished at 4 am this morning! Couldn't wait to see what was going to happen. Thanks for suggesting this ladies.
Just finished
and absolutely loved it. I might have to fit in a read of
since it's short, even though I started
and that one already has me hooked.What's up with me finding good books lately? I was starting to think that I was disliking everything and turning into a bitter old lady. I guess I shouldn't complain.

How are you, btw? How's your mother, if you don't mind me asking. Thinking of you and miss chatting books with you....
No joke. Especially since I'm not as apologetic for writing negative reviews anymore. :p

I'm still working my way through
... I'm loving Alpha Hawke.
Kay wrote: "Laura wrote: "Just finished and . I haven't read something I liked this much in a long time. I'm a huge sucker..."Has some sexiness but it's not the main thing. And yes a HEA :) Though it wasn't what I expected when I started reading. I think she writes emotions and passion well.
She's doing ok, a little worse, so we're struggling with her chemo meds. Thanks so much for remembering and asking Kay, means the world. How are you and your kiddos? Miss chatting with you too!!!
Also finished
recently. Just did not like this one. BO-RING!

My kids are good and growing fast. I'm well too...same old stuff...kids, family, friends and books! LOL

Okay, Wendy and I are buddy reading
, we're like a couple of fickly old ladies. haha! I cannot wait to read this, I've been softly shoved in this direction by a few group members who will remain nameless *You know who you are* so this should make you both very happy :)
Laura, so glad to hear your mom is doing better.
Kay, I was wondering where you'd been :)
