I just finished Lady Notorious. I didn't like it. I so felt for the herione who had been so abused and traumatized but the hero....I just wanted to slap him so bad. He had sex on the brain when it was clear the herione just wanted comfort and security. He could see she had been through hell yet all he could do is tease and lust after her. Chastity reminded me alot of Catherine from Stormfire. Poor girl. Now I need to find something to read to wash this book from memory.

* What it lacked was tenderness from the hero that could have fixed it. I mean the heroine went through hell. He could tell this just by looking at her and her shaved head. She was scared of men after being tortured, beaten, humiliated, raped, marked, shorn, mistreated and exiled. All the hero could think about was bedding her. Sure he showed his outrage after decided to marry her but he took her to an orgy! An orgy where he slept with her.*Then took her to his family who was like "we gotta clean this mess up before she can be family." So she becomes a pawn in her future brother in law's games against her father. Horrible story. The only one I liked was the hero's sister Elf but she was a bit stuck up. Giving Chastity her cast off gowns because they didn't flatter her red hair. I can't see wanting to read any more of that family series.

We had our first Old School Romance Book Club meeting today! The five of us met at B&N which was crowded. We ended in the food court of the mall which was loud and noisy but I had fun. We talk books, authors, weather and all sorts of other topics. Hubby stayed in the background circling the food court eating free samples from the kiosks.

I got to see the new $50 Nook Tablet. I now want one badly. lol It's so cute and the screen is optimize for reading despite the ppi. I was really impressed.

Not sure what's going on with Harlequin's new site. All of the June books still show as coming soon/unavailable when you try to add them to the cart from the main page.

However, I was able to add June books to the cart when I clicked on the "Add to Cart" links from my wishlist and checkout with no issues.

I have a problem with Harlequin too. I have a monthly subscription and on the 1st of the month an email is sent to me (during the middle of the night) telling me my subscription eBooks are in my Bookshelf ready to be downloaded.

Today, the 1st of May, no email and no new eBooks in my Bookshelf yet...
Anyone else have this problem?

Since I am only home for lunch, guess I'll check after work.

I can't even get to Harlequin.com at the moment.

KFC came out with a historical romance novella for Mother's Day called Tender Wings of Desire, and it's free. The woman in the [illustrated] cover is actually holding a piece of chicken (leg, not wing) and has what looks like a car key.

Anyone willing to take one for the team?
