Robin, you should give Vicki Lewis Thompson's Nerd books
Nerd in Shining Armor a try. I really liked them. Funny and sexy.
Almost finished HR.
slightly improbable but fun, probably 4 stars and Just starting PNR. Mixed reviews but it may suit me 16 books in the series with four yet to be published.

Yes, the other book was very good.

My Review: /review/show...
I read/listened to this in one day while staining the lumber for my new barndoor style closet doors. It made a really brainless, repetitive task very enjoyable.

My Review: /review/show...
At 60% Currently listening to
Lord of the Fading Lands C.L. Wilson it is so slow plotwise! I have been told to stick with it.At 30% currently reading
Spectyr Philippa Ballantine (a strange mix of fantasy and steampunk) - lots of action!
Loriidae wrote: "At 60% Currently listening to Lord of the Fading Lands C.L. Wilson it is so slow plotwise! I have been told to stick wit..."You have to read the whole series (5 books) as one very long book. I really liked them. Of course there were times I was frustrated with the slow pace of the story.
ShoSho wrote: "Loriidae wrote: "At 60% Currently listening to Lord of the Fading Lands C.L. Wilson it is so slow plotwise! I have been ..."Oh thanks for that, I was trying to figure out how it was all going to be resolved in under half the book. That makes so much more sense now.
Just finished

Midnight Marked by Chloe Neill.My rating: /review/show...

I rather liked it though I've not read any other MC books. It's pretty violent. And Reaper is one of Feehen's tormented alphole "heroes" (though with reason-and he does improve some). I probably will read the next one in the series. I like the Sisters of the Heart series a lot better.

Her leopards can be violent so that is ok.
Starting my RAA of
and listening to
Finished books
&
of Sinful Brides Series by Christi Caldwell
Today I finished
See No Evil by Allison Brennan. My review: /review/show...
Earlier in the week I read a couple short stories from
A Season in the Highlands.My review: /review/show...
Listening to
and i like it better than book 2, but not more than book 1
Just a Kiss by Denise Hunter DNFI rarely DNF a book.
My Review: /review/show...
Since I rarely DNF a book, I strongly suspect that the real reason I couldn't get into it is because I had Edge of Darkness waiting for me.
Edge of Darkness by Karen Rose 5-StarsImperfect Hero/Heroine
My Review: /review/show...
I started
very intense. I only bought it because of the narrator (Robert Petkoff) but the plot is very intriguing.I also started
on page 95 I think. It hasn't sucked me in. At this point I can put it aside and never go back to it and don't feel bad about it. I'll give another try tonight.
I have an historical buddy read that is really dragging but I feel a bit obligated to make the push to finish.
Urban Fantasy -
detailed gore. I am not flying through as I did the first. Paranormal -
pretty standard Christine Feehan but the hero for me has committed the ultimate sin and I am hoping that the heroine makes him crawl for a long time.
