My first book was Knight and it was really bad. Stay away from it! I am so glad I gave the author another chance. I read Sweet Dreams which is bk 2 of the Colorado series and it was really good and then I started The Rock chick series and I am hooked! |

I started Knight and didn't get far. Good to know I should just start a different one and not give up on KA.

Thanks for the pointer to Kirsten Ashley's website. She seems like a nice person as well as a good author. I have until October to spend the coupons, too, so that's good!

Knight is really bad! Spoiler:
Her other books are nothing like Knight from what I've read so far. The Rock Chick one has a very Stephanie Plum vibe to it but as the series goes on it takes a new life of its own. So far book four has been my favorite in the series. I love Jules and Vance! After I finished the RC series I'm going to go back and read The Gamble. I read that Sweet Dreams and The Gamble are not really connected other then taking place in Colorado however the books after Sweet dreams are connected in some way. She's is what I call an unconventional writer. She's not for everyone. You will hear it said she needs an editor bad. I use to feel that way but now I've come to love how raw and unpolished her writing is. I can overlook alot because she tells a great story and despite all the grammar rules she breaks the story still flows! I don't know how she does this but it works most of the time.

I've downloaded a few samples to check her out. I didn't see her before because I had adult filter on, so I will see from there if her writings are my cuppa.

I've been wanting to get all Mary Stewart's books in ebooks too and I did find Touch Not The Cat at Amazon for Kindle, at Kobobooks and I think I saw it at Books on Board too.
What I really want are the Elsie Lee books in ebook format! Last edited by Janet56; 08-28-2012 at 11:05 PM. |

OMG Elsie Lee. They were wonderful! Think I still might have one or two tattered copies somewhere. Had forgotten about her.
I just tried to find Touch not the Cat and don't see it in Kindle in US, but looked on the UK Amazon site and all the Mary Stewarts are available as ebook there, so maybe someday they will make it across the pond. Wonder what else they have .... Last edited by Carmelreader; 08-29-2012 at 02:06 AM. |

With all the talk about Touch not the Cat, I just had to go check my bookshelves. Yes! I still have a hardback and pulled it out for a reread sometime.

Touch Not the Cat
Not sure how to make a link but I just checked amazon.com, put Mary Stewart in the search in Kindle books and Touch Not the Cat is on page 2 of the search results... $7.59. It is just over $6 at Books on Board. Hope that helps! I still have my paper copy... Also a bunch of Elsie Lees that are getting pretty tattered. Wish I knew how to create ebooks out of those old books before they totally fall apart. |
