Today’s book was written by Rachel Gibson.  This book was actually a re-release of her first published novel.  The story begins as a young almost-trophy wife, Georgeanne Howard, decides to leave her fiance at the alter.  Her fiance, a man old enough to be her grandfather, is also the owner of the Seattle Chinooks, a [...]

Today’s book was written by Kristan Higgins.  This book was fabulous!  But what I’m finding out is that I have to ration the books I read by this author.  She doesn’t have that many left that I haven’t read yet, and since I read at the speed that I do, this is a major problem.

Today’s book is the newest from Nora Roberts.  This book was a great mystery with the usual Roberts’-style romance sprinkled in.  Entertaining, interesting characters, and an interesting subject matter (dog training), this book was a solid read.  I find that Roberts is always a guaranteed good read–at least her newer books are. The only issue [...]

Today’s book was written by Jayne Ann Krenz and is the third book in this particular series (series includes The Pirate, The Adventurer, and The Cowboy).  This book was OK, but not nearly as funny or entertaining as The Pirate was.  This book had more of the drama that I’m not really a big fan [...]

Today’s book was written by Kristan Higgins.  OMG!  This book was fantastic!  As with the other books by Higgins that I’ve read, this one really took you through all the good, the bad and the ugly, but cleaned you off and gave you a happy ending in the end.  Higgins lives in Connecticut and I’m [...]

I just finished reading this book by J.R. Ward.  This is the eighth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.  Wow!  This book had the best ending of the books I’ve read in the series.  Hopefully I’m not spoiling anything by saying this, but this book (I felt) was a lot more violent and graphic [...]

I sat down to read this book by Judith Arnold today after putting all my books away from my recent trip to RomCon.  Combined between the free books, the books I won and the books I received from a friend I met while in Denver, I basically received a large box full of books that [...]

Today’s book was written by Susan Wiggs.  This is my first time reading Wiggs and it’s easy to see why she’s a NYT bestselling author.  Her style is easy, her characters are multifaceted and interesting, and the story was captivating.  Although a little more PG than my usual choices, I thought this book was a [...]

Today’s book was written by Cindy Gerard.  This book was a gift from a new friend, Liz, whom I met at RomCon recently.  I also had the pleasure of meeting the author at this conference.  Needless to say I’m excited to read these books.  More to come…
PS – I’m putting this book on hold because [...]

My husband and I started reading this book by Lev Grossman in transit to Colorado.  This book has been billed as an adult Harry Potter and I have to say that I agree with this comparison.  I think the term “magician” might be a misnomer, since it’s a little more along the lines of magic [...]
