Welcome to the 21st of century. If you drop your book, then you pick it up and continue reading, but when you drop your kindle or pad, then... ;) So BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP.

I'm reading Lisa Kleypas Travises series. Just finished Sugar Daddy and really liked it. Now I'm reading Blue-Eyed Devil and also enjoy it.

[Cherry-Ann]

Yes, Anita...Sugar Daddy was a good success story. I liked how the protagonist (can't recall her name) handled her responsibility without looking for welfare and handouts but really applied hard work. Must look for the other books in the series myself.

[Dee]

I just finished Heroes Are My Weakness and I really liked it. A lot of SEPs are really funny. This one isn't really funny, but there is a lot of good scenes. I know I didn't like her last two, but this one I really did like. In the beginning Annie kept a hatred for Theo, because of things he did to her when they were children. That irritated me, because it has been about 20 years since they have seen each other. Fortunately, that stopped pretty soon.

[Jonetta]

That's a shame. I loved The Pillars of the Earth but then I'm a big fan of historical fiction.

[Jonetta]

I finished two!

[Sandra J]

I just finished .

[Jonetta]

I'm listening to Mean Streak by Sandra Brown.

[Anita]

I finished Mean StreakMean Streak earlier this week and liked it. It was full of twists and turns like a good Sandra Brown book should have. Just finished by Julie Garwood and thought it could have been better. Now I'm going to reread by Nora Roberts. this is one of my all time favorite books. Looking forward to it.

[Janeiowa]

Leaving Bluestone

[Kathy Anne]

This Ghost Bride book isn`t one I just read right thru I stop for quite awhile and keep going only to find out the ending because I know now she is only half dead and wants to marry another half dead one I think.

[Nancy]

[Nancy]

Read Nancy Warren's: Kiss A Girl in the Rain (Take A Chance Book 1)
She's a new favorite author for me :)

[Dee]

I just finished The Hunger Games . I am part way through reading , which translated means I am not very far into it, so I keep wanting to stop and pick up .

[Jonetta]

Understand completely.

[Anita]

I just finished #11 and the last book of Suzanne Brockman's Tall, Dark and Dangerous series. I loved it and am so sorry that it was the last one. This series was more romance than Troubleshooters, but just as good.

Now I'm reading #5 in the Steel Street series by Tara Janzen and it is crazy good. Sexy, humorus and a dangerous situation too. I love this series.

[Jonetta]

I finished The Knight by Monica McCarty and here's my review.

I'm now reading Trust Me by Anna Wells.

[Jonetta]

Mean Streak by Sandra Brown
My Review

[Janeiowa]

Carolina Girl

I've come to love the novels of Virginia Kantra. I'd not heard of her before, but learned of her works here at GR. I'm very impressed with both her storylines and her characters. I just finished Carolina Moon, which was a Kindle special; I immediately went back to Amazon and gladly paod for the next one, Carolina Girl. I'm about to dive in and be part of Dare Island when I finish posting this. :)

Thanks for that feedback!

[Kathy Anne]

Ghost Bride
Yeah she is half dead and so is he-book is different allright but not real exciting even tho it was a kind of thriller/love story

[Nancy]

Almost done with The Great Escape by Susan Elizabeth Peters. Not too happy with this one :( .

[Anita]

Now that all my grandkids are back in school, preschool, I have finally blocked out enough time to attempt to read . It is slow going for me. I haven't read any reviews so I don't know anything about the plot, except that it is a time-travel.

[Jonetta]

That's exactly how I started this book! Kudos to you.

[Kathy Anne]

I hope Outlander hasn`t ruined me for all Highlander books because I just gave up on another of McCartys and I have read hers are highly rated but I couldn`t even finish this second one ,I think it was Highlander Warrior.

[Jonetta]

Her Highland Guard series is excellent. The first book is The Chief.

[Kathy Anne]

Jonetta
I think I was reading The Guard Series,is the Warrior part of it.I gave the books to Good Will so I am not sure of the names but I think they were numbers 1 and 2 of the series.

No. That's in the Campbell Trilogy (Highland Warrior).

Here's the Highland Guard series list for more info.

[Anita]

Kathy Anne, I think I agree with you. Outlander has definitely spoiled me for other Highlander books of the bodice-ripper variety. With the emphasis on history, rather than sex, Outlander has outclassed a lot of books.

[Kathy Anne]

Jonetta
Thanks I will try the first couple and see if I am completely ruined.

[Kathy Anne]

Anita
I never did like History or war so now I think Outlander which is full of them is the gold standard apparently-I sure hate to not be able to read any other Highlander

[Eve]

I'm in the middle of Heroes Are My Weakness by Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
I like the writing style but the storyline is surprisingly dark and humorless. Annie's fascination and her constant inner chatter with her "puppets" is kind of creepy (just like the hero). But there's something in SEP books and her writing style that's not letting you stop her books and try something else. You always want to know what happens next and always finish them ;)

[Jonetta]

I'm reading Rock, Rattle & Roll by Taryn Elliott and Cari Quinn. I'm listening to Holy Frigging Matrimony: A Tangled Series Short Story by Emma Chase.

I always considered Susan Elizabeth Phippips and Jennifer Cruise to have similar styles, witty, romance, and the last 2 Jennifer Cruise hit me the same way, kinda creepy.

I'm sure that it won't be a problem for long. I plan to read a few screw ball romanced to lighten up my mood after I finish Outlander. I have a lot of Hannah Howell and Karen Marie Moning Highlander books and a daughter who tells me I'll really like them.

[Kathy Anne]

I don`t know about Howell but I read KMMs Highlanders a few years back when they first came out and they seemed almost having a modern feeling to me didn`t care much for them but I will try Howell will see if Outlander is still mushing my brain for any thing else

I just picked it up from the Library. I used to buy all her novels, but the last 3 or so were so blech that I stopped buying and started borrowing.

I read an excerpt and Annie seemed a bit beyond "odd" in that excerpt. I was hoping SEP had gotten her writing back on track---I loved her earlier stuff---but your comment makes me wonder.

I just finished Outlander and my brain is definitely mush. Can't seem to find the spirit to start any other book and I've got waiting on my Kindle.

[Dee]

Outlander is really a great book. I am listening to Dragonfly in Amber in my car, but in the house I am listening to Outlander. I just started that and I wonder how that will work.

[Anita]

There is no way I could ever do that. One track mind here.

[Nancy]

Finished SEP's The Great Escape & was underwhelmed.
I am MUCH happier back in Harmony, TX with Jodi Thomas's crew:)
Reading Somewhere Along the Way (Book #2 of the series) at the moment.

SEP newest book is not bad. And I'm certainly starting to enjoy it (seems to become a habit with this lady's books; I didn't like Kiss An Angel first but in the end I loved it) ;)
There's a touch of Daphne Du Maurier and other gothic elements. And the heroine acts more normal as the story moves on and like Dee pointed out - there's a lot of good scenes. So I'd recommend.
