Rowena: I just finished reading a YA book that I wasn’t sure I was going to like at first but as the story progressed I became more and more invested and in the end, I ended up really liking it. That story was The Truth about Letting Go by Leigh T. Moore, which is an indie release and one that I recommend. Now, I’m reading Hitched! by Jessica Hart.Holly: This week I read On Dublin Street by Samantha Young. It started out really strong, but it kind of lost me toward the end. I also read Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs. It was a great read. The best part? We got TWO FULL CHAPTERS from ADAM’S POV!!! WOOOT! I’m getting ready to start Night Blade by Shiloh Walker. First I need to finish my re-read of Honor’s Splendour by Julie Garwood. I love this book. What are you reading this week?

I find I’m less patient with Garwood’s writing this time around. I skim a lot of the overly descriptive and repetitive stuff. But the overall story is still just as good as it was before.
Reading The Best Man by Kristan Higgins. Funny and sad. Not sure how I feel about the romance yet.
I love Honor Splendor too. I’ll re-read it soon after I knock some review books off my pile.
Did you love the entire book? Nothing changed for you this time around?
I just bought “The Truth about letting Go” based on your review and the excellent reviews on Amazon (all 4 and 5 stars)
I agree about “On Dublin Street” I liked it, but I kept thinking that there was maybe something missing that would have made it a very good book.
I spent my Friday night/Saturday morning reading all three books in Christie Ridgway’s Beach House No., 9 series.
My Saturday night will be spent with either Mystery Man by Kristen Ashley or Hostage to Pleasure by Nalini Singh. Or both if I can’t sleep again!
Just finished Rush by Maya Banks and just started A Shot of Sultry by Macy Beckett.
Rush was really good. If you like Sylvia Day’s Crossfire series, you’d like this.
Macy Beckett is a new author. If you like Carly Phillips or Jill Shalvis you will like Macy’s writing.
I had the day off Friday and spent it (and the night through to Saturday morning) reading–not re-reading, halleluiah!
I read Lorraine Heath’s Between the Devil and Desrire (liked it a lot), Caroline Linden’s What a Woman Needs (oh so meh it’s sad), and Emma Holly’s The Demon’s Daughter (loved, loved this one–particularly because the hero is shy and prudish, and both him and the heroine are inexperienced but horny enough not to matter much) and, also by Holly, Prince of Ice (which I liked slightly less)
All in all, an awesome day off–now if I could only muster the wits to write one or two reviews…
Rowena — yes, sadly I got to a very offensive scene that has put me off a lot. 🙁
aztreclady — The Demon’s Daughter is going on my wishlist!
Woo hoo! I just found The Demon’s Daughter in my TBR cupboard! I had a vague feeling I might own it, but I apparently never logged it.
I just finished Sarah MacLean’s One Good Earl Deserves a Lover. Definitely recommend.
Holly,
I guess that’s the great thing about re-reads, you don’t have to read the entire thing to enjoy the book again.
Willaful,
I have that book to read but I haven’t gotten around to it. Did you participate in the chat for this book on Twitter?
Somi,
I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did. It’s a YA book though so the characters are young, not grown up folks yet.
Marg,
So I take it you liked the Ridgway books?
Sue G.,
I’ve been hearing good things about Macy Beckett so she’s definitely on my list of new authors to try. Thanks for the heads up though.
willaful, awesome! *crossing fingers* I hope you like it too.
It’s not a spoiler — there’s a very offensive scene involving a transgendered person. A lot of the humor skates pretty close to the edge and that went way over the top.
Willaful,
Well, now you have to tell me what happened…I’m much too nosy to let that one slide by without commenting. So…email me at rowena @ thebookbinge.com (no spaces)? LOL.
AL,
That’s a lot of books and I have not read ANY of them. I’m curious about the Heath books though. I really like her books.
LSUReader,
I really enjoyed that book too. MacLean hasn’t disappointed me with any of her books. They’re all so good.
