Morgan, have you read all the old Kathleen Woodiwiss? (Not the last one). Shana, Ashes in the Wind, the Flame and the Flower, the Wolf and the Dove.....

Laurie McBain was awesome...

The first 4 Lisa Kleypas books....Where Passion Leads, Love Come to Me, Forever My Love, Give Me Tonight

The original Johanna Lindsey books....from the 70s and 80s

I'm not a big romance reader, but Ashes In The Wind is probably my favorite. I first read it as a teenager, and have re-read it a few times over the years. I still have the original book sitting on my book shelf. That is saying something coming from someone who reads maybe one romance a year!

Hope I'm doing this right, never posted a free book before!

Champagne and Lemon Drops: A Blueberry Springs Chick Lit Contemporary Romance [Kindle Edition]

Publication Date: November 14, 2013
One woman. Two men. One meddling small town.

Raised by her older sister in the small town of Blueberry Springs, all Beth Wilkinson wants is to create a family so big she’ll never be alone. Things are going great until her accountant fiancé, Oz, experiences a family trauma, forcing him to rethink everything from his own career to their nuptial plans—leaving Beth alone.

As Beth works to rediscover her former bold and independent self in hopes of reattracting Oz, she catches the eye of the charming new city doctor, Nash. Not only does he see her as she’d like to be seen, but he knows exactly what he wants from life—and that includes Beth.

Torn between the two men, as well as two versions of herself, Beth discovers that love and dreams are much more complicated than they seem.

A chick lit contemporary romance that will appeal to fans of Jennifer Weiner, Jane Green, and Meg Cabot, and will have readers wondering who the heck Beth should choose.

I stayed close to budget this week, spent $17 for 16 books [all but 2 were on my wishlist]


Books Read this week and my rating:
Tough Luck – C.M. Stunich = 3
Masters at Arms – Kallypso Masters = 2, DNF [not for me]
Take Me On – Cherrie Lynn = 3
Against the Ropes - Sarah Castille = 4
Heaven’s Sinners – Bella Jewel = 3.5
Reckless – Skye Jordan = 2.5


I've added quite a few books to my wish/watch list that were released from some of my 'auto-buy' authors so next week may not be good, depending on any sales or codes that may come along.

(this is the 2nd book in this series)

Rescue Team (Grace Medical)

Tired of running from her past, nurse Kate Callison intends to become Austin Grace Hospital’s permanent ER director and make Texas her home. Despite staff friction, she’s moving ahead. Then unthinkable tragedy wraps the ER in crime tape, bringing swarms of media, legal chaos—and a search-and-rescue hero who seems determined to meddle in her life.

For Wes Tanner, nothing beats finding someone who’s lost; he’s known that helpless terror firsthand. So he’ll expand his team’s lifeline of hope: K9 tracking, swift water rescue, even horse-mounted searches. He’s ready for anything—except Austin Grace’s prickly and dismissive ER director.

As Kate and Wes discover more about each other, new respect becomes something deeper. Kate wonders if her heart might have finally found a home. Then an unsolved missing persons case—and a startling new one—become catalysts that threaten the loss of all she and Wes have found.

Well no purchases to report for me either! Funny because I have some gc's waiting to be spent, but nothing is calling me right now...

No new reads finished either. Working on The Many Sins of Lord Cameron... love those kilt-clad MacKenzie men!

[booklover6]

Terisa, what did you think of those 3 Bianca D'arc books? Particularly Grif. I liked Rocky, but hated Slade. So I've been afraid to read the next one.

[Terisa de morgan]

I don't know. It's nearer to Slade, I think. And there's a whole chapter I've skipped because I don't like ménage. Why didn't you like Slade? Perhaps I can help you then. Anyway, Grif is the book I've liked less (I prefer a lot "Wolf Hills" and "Wolf Quest").

[Venus]

I too have a GC, but don't want to purchase any books until I get my TBR list organized but I bought an audiobook.

Fire and Ice....Anne Stuart.....So far I love the Narrator Xe Sands and the story.

Read

Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage......Jennifer Ashley......4
Any Duchess Will Do.....Tessa Dare......3...........I usually like her books a lot.

Wolf Hills I gave 4 stars....haven't read the next one. The quality of her writing has gone down, to me.

Rocky, I gave 4 stars. Slade, 1 star. Here is what I wrote in my review: never mind I didn't even review it. My comments indicate I thought the woman was a complete idiot: at 30% - "Oh yes, we all know when we've only known someone a couple of hours, that we are in serious danger of losing out heart to him forever. Natch!"

and at 50% - "Have you ever been subjected to watching a Brady Bunch marathon?"

And I have become so sick of the way she gags readers with all the goddess stuff.
