Right now I am reading 4 titles:Significance by Shelly Crane
Breathe by Kristen Ashley
Inescapable by Amy A Bartol
Hopeless by Colleen Hoover
I'm trying to get through Kristen Ashley's Motorcycle Man. It's the first book I've read by her, and I'm not much liking it. It's not bad, but I agree with the main female character, Tyra, that the guy has multiple personalities and I don't care for the way he roughs her up. A lot. There are some writing tendencies that are really off putting. The author seems to latch onto (what she thinks is cute) a phrase and use it ad nauseam. She refers to "Tank" as "scary biker dude" on every other page. It's ridiculous. Inconsistencies in the story really take me right out of it, too.Dorsey, I think you mentioned reading KA on another thread. This is my first time reading her, so can you or anyone else who reads her give me your opinion on her writing/books in general.

MM is the 4th book in the Dream Man series. I am an addict when it comes to her book's, if this is too over the top for you, you may want to try her Colorado Mountain Series, but be warned most of her hero's are super duper uber alphas and start out as jerks but totally redeem themselves by the end of the books.

Wow Madeleine, I can only read one book at a time!! I loved Breathe, looking forward to seeing how you like it!!
Dorsey, I like Alphas like LH's, but this guy was a bit much for me. I thought maybe, being a biker, she was writing him really rough.I may try one of her CM series you mentioned.
Thanks Dorsey.

Welcome Janet! The Rock Chick series is really good too....I'm thinking you may like that even more than the CM series.

I am reading Dream Eyes
even though I always read her books, I really can't say I understand the psychic dream stuff.

I really enjoyed most of her books, Dee. As you know, I'm new to the LH train, so I had a lot of catching up to do.
I wasn't too crazy about the Blair Mallory series and Veil of Night but I love, love, Heart of Fire, Shades of Twilight and After the Night. I've just read Duncan's Bride and All the Queen's Men. I'm onto Loving Evangeline next and then Heartbreaker.

I agree with you about the Veil of Night and the Mallory books. I also wasn't crazy about Burn and Cover of night. I absolutely cannot remember Ice.

And while Blair was a funny character, I just didn't like her. She bugs the heck out of me.
