Holly: This has been a strange reading week for me. I haven’t been in the mood for much of anything. I did a re-read of Kinked by Thea Harrison, Drawn Together by Lauren Dane and Own the Wind by Kristen Ashely, but I just read each of those for the first time last week so I’m not sure I can really count those. Well, I can, but not I’m sure I should.
I know it’s early yet, but these three books are my best reads of the year so far. I’m not sure they can be topped. All three were unexpected in lovely ways. I can’t get them out of my head.
Otherwise I’m feeling pretty meh about reading in general.
What are you reading this week?
I am reading Robin Kaye’s “Yours for the Taking”. Good book! I had read another book in the series out of order & also really liked that one – Call Me Wild.
Headed for Trouble, is that new? Haven’t heard of it.
I’m finishing up the Bridgerton epilogue collection, also reading The Rainbow Promise by Lisa Gregory (Candace Camp) and started listening to Ricochet by Sandra Brown. But it’s just not the same without Victor Slezak narrating!
My Kindle just fired up with the new Hannah Howell book! I adore her stories! 😀
Like Nalini Singh’s Wild Invitation, at least three of the stories in Headed for Trouble are reprints of shorts stories that were available either via promo booklets for the release of some of Brockmann’s hardback titles, along with character interviews, and apparently a two/three? never published stories.
I’m a bit ambivalent about getting it because I grew disenchanted with the character continuity in a couple of the later books, but I’ll probably pick it up anyway because, hello, Troubleshooters, it’s been years!
Rowena, how can you pick it up this weekend? It’s listed for release on April 30th.
@AL, I think she has an ARC she plans to read this weekend, ie “pick up”.
@Sandy, I have that HH to read. I’m a bit hesitant to start it, however, as I feel some of her more recent releases are just reprints of her older books with a change of character names.
Holly, makes sense–and now I feel like the dork I am.
Her Murray series is my favorite, but I do see your point, Holly. The books I always go back to are Highland Bride and Highland Warrior because they are so very different than the rest of the books. 🙂
Those are my favorites also. Love!
I also adore many of her older titles like Elfking’s Lady and Amber Flame (aka His Bonnie Bride).
This weekend my reading has included Daughter of the Sky by Michelle Diener, which takes a typical historical romance trope and gives it a very unusual setting, Marital Bitch by J C Emery which I was a bit disappointed by and not just because of the horrid title and From the Kitchen of Half Truths by Maria Goodin. Oh, and The Chevalier by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles.
