I’ve been on a Dianne Duvall binge these last few weeks. I’m reading The Lasaran (Aldebarian Alliance #1). I’m also rereading Wild Like the Wind (Chaos #5) by Kristen Ashley and am listening to Honor’s Splendour by Julie Garwood.

I didn’t have a lot of reading time this week. I finished listening to Sweep in Peace by Ilona Andrews and One Fell Sweep, then started Sweep of the Blade.
I’m reading Jackie Ashenden’s latest HP, A DIAMOND FOR MY FORBIDDEN BRIDE. A man, presumed dead for 15 years, suddenly reappears and demands his brother’s fiancée. I like how Ashenden takes elements of dark romance (faked death, abduction, captivity, forced marriage, dysfunctional upbringings) and softens them for the Harlequin Presents template.
Over the past week ~
— finished a science fiction book that I quite enjoyed and that my husband (the recipient of my many thoughts) could now explain to you in some detail! The book was written in French and won the prestigious Prix Goncourt: The Anomaly by Hervé Le Tellier.
— read Potential Energy by Kim Fielding. I’d describe this as a science fiction romance featuring two men. I enjoyed this.
— finished The Loneliness of the Deep Space Cargoist by JS Carter Gilson; this was a quick science fiction read. It was pleasant, but I am not driven to read more in the series.
— read Suicide Run and Home Run by science fiction author Nathan Lowell both of which I enjoyed.
— also read Nightwork: A Novel by Nora Roberts; this is a brand-new work of romantic suspense which I quite enjoyed.
I read Christi Caldwell’s Along Comes A Lady and really enjoyed it even though the ending was pretty abrupt. I also enjoyed the historical anthology Desparate Daughters.
