Another excellent book is Cottonwood by R Lee Smith. The romantic elements aren't as prominent as other books by Smith but they are there and it's the romantic love that ultimately drives the plot. It's a difficult book to read because of the violence but it is very well written.
I read Heat, too and it's not as good but it was written years before Gann and Cottonwood and you can see how much Smith has developed as a writer. Currently, I'm working my way through The Lords of Arcadia series by Smith. Very enjoyable fantasy with realistic characters. The series has romantic elements but romance is not the central theme. I'm so glad I found R Lee Smith through this thread. It wouldn't have happened if we were limited to reporting freebies. Thanks, ladies (and any lurking gentlemen). |

My son does not want to manage / look for books to read. My nieces are both under 16 so I do not trust them to not download something they shouldn't read. My aunts are just old and confused about everything in downloading. I finally have all but around 100 books in Calibre. Slowly working on adding metadata, tags, price, which person, etc. One day I will have all of this organized. Will be easier since I have it all on my hard drive and not the computer. So when I change computers I will not have lost anything well hopefully. |

I'm a paranoid backupper... after every decent sized batch and/or edit, I back up to an external hard drive, a more portable drive, to my husband's computer (that he doesn't realize I'm doing LOL), and once a month or so to my laptop. |

Not sure if this would be of interest to anyone here or not.
Entangled Mafia Personally, I want the author to choose her characters' names and how to end the story, but maybe I am just being a stick in the mud |

She is wonderful! If you like audiobooks you should try The Spymaster's Lady in audio. It is fantastic. I've read it and listened to it, it's well worth taking in either way.

Wondering if we should start a DNR list for books that have problems.
Problems would be grammar errors, formatting issues, using contemporary words in a historical setting? |
