Casee: August was the best month of the summer for me. I couldn’t tell you why it was better than the previous months. I read some darn good books last month. My favorite book of the month was Play of Passion by Nalini Singh. It is my favorite book since Riley and Mercy’s book and now I absolutely cannot WAIT until Hawke’s book. I read a lot of paranormals this month. I guess that’s what’s drawing me these days. Twelve was my total for August.

August was an extremely busy month for me and i really hardly had time to read. Just managed 5 books:
Visions in Death by JD robb; How to Catch An Heiress – was the last Julia Quinn book i had left to read and i really enjoyed it; Wicked Intentions by Elizabeth Hoyt – i am curious how the series will continue; Fade to Black by Leslie Parrish – I really enjoyed this book and immediately ordered the following two; Lady Isabella’s Scandalous Marriage – am really looking forward to Cam’s book.
So a few books but they were all good.
either book would be lovely though i would love to try Carolyn Jewel.

August was a crazy month for me as I was getting my son ready to go away to college but I was able to read a few books and Last Night’s Scandal by Loretta Chase was my favorite of the month.

I read a lot of erotica in August! The best I read was Retreat from Love by Samantha Kane. The worst I read was Adder by Ally Blue.
I would love the Shalvis The Heat is On if I were to win.
Thanks!

I had a very good August. Favorite is Megan Hart’s, SWITCH…loved the character study and realistic love story. Also enjoyed Elizabeth Hoyt’s, WICKED INTENTIONS. Least favorite was BROKEN by S. Walker…it’s probably me, I just couldn’t get into it..
Would like to win Shalvis’ book.
August was a good reading month for me, too, with 19 books read. My favorite was Anne Mallory’s Seven Secrets of Seduction. The least enjoyable was Janet Evanovich’s Troublemaker, a graphic novel take-off of her Metro novels. I’d like either of this month’s books, but I’d prefer the Shalvis if I win. Thanks.
I read 15 and listened to 5 in August.
Best read – Shades of Gray by Brooke McKinley. best Audio – Breathing Room by SEP, narrated by Kate Fleming (aka Anna Fields). Both A’s from me.
Least enjoyable read was Ex Appeal by Cari Quinn – I gave it a C-. It was kind of “meh” for me.
I’d love to read the new Jill Shalvis novel The Heat is On. Thx.
I read To Conquer Mr. Darcy by Abigail Reynolds last month and absolutely adored it!
I would love to win My Forbidden Desire by Carolyn Jewel 🙂
My favorite reads were “Money, Honey” by Susan Sey, “Wild Ride” by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer, and “Brooklyn Knight” by C. J. Henderson (not strictly a romance).
My least favorite read was “The Next Best Thing” by Kristan Higgins because I felt so sorry for Ethan for loving such an idiot like Lucy for so long (aside from the former in-laws to lovers situation).
I would love to win “The Heat is On” by Jill Shalvis.

My favorite read of the month was Dee Davis’ “Desperate Deeds.” My least favorite was RC Ryan’s “Montana Destiny.”
I would love to win Jill Shalvis’ “The Heat Is On.”
August was a good reading month for me. My favorites were Wicked Intentions by Elizabeth Hoyt and Nine Rules to Break when Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean. I loved Nine rules and can’t wait for Ten Ways. I quite liked all the books I read last month.
If I were to win, I’d love The Heat is On by Jill Shalvis.
Favorite read this month so far: Tempting Eden by Margaret Rowe.
Least favorite read: Viking in Love by Sandra Hill.
Looking forward to reading: Elizabeth Hoyt’s Wicked Intentions!
I am ABSOLUTELY LOVING Soulless by Gail Carriger!!! LOVE it!!!
I *looks around descreately* sad to report that I will not be finishing Unholy Ghost. I read about 30 pages and hated it.
I’m very much interested in Jill Shalvis’ The Heat is On!
My favourite book of August probably was The Demon in Me by Michelle Rowen and the one I least liked was Rampant by Diana Peterfreund.
I would like to win My Forbidden Desire by Carolyn Jewel.
My favorite would have to be She’s Gone Country by Jane Porter. I don’t know what least favorite read was….but I want to read Play of Passion by Nalini Singh.
august was a crazy-busy month for me – had my fiance’s 40th birthday and his uncle’s 60th, among other things – so i didn’t do nearly as much reading as i normally get to do. however, i fell in lurve with robyn dehart’s seduce me – it was one of the best historical romances i’ve read in quite a while…

I’m reading Ravished by a highlander.peg360@hotmail.com
I only read two books in August. It was a very busy month for me. I read Till Dawn with the Devil by Alexandra Hawkins and Sex and the Single Earl by Vanessa Kelly. Both were excellent reads and would recommend them too friends. I have not read a bad book in a long time except I could not finish The Perils of Pleasure by Julie Anne Long It was not bad but it just was not my style I guess. I will finish it though someday! I can’t leave a book unfinished LOL! Jill Shalvis’ book The Heat is on looks good!
