I can’t put them in order. It’s hard enough for me to choose.
Play of Passion by Nalini Singh
Marry Me by Jo Goodman
Beyond the Night by Joss Ware
Sin Undone by Larissa Ione
Demon From the Dark by Kresley Cole
Quite the array of paranormals for me.
What were your top five for 2010?
I only read a handful of those! I should check them out soon.
I did make a list, but don’t think I put them in order. I remember I put Married by Morning, All I ever wanted by Kristan Higgins and Insatiable – in the adult front.
Great lists! More than a few there that I need to check out.
Only 5? I’m extra weasly this year, and having trouble keeping it to 5 per subgenre!
A couple at the top, though, would be Stacia Kane’s Chess Putnam series and Nicole Peeler’s Jane True series.
Not sure I can narrow it down to 5! I loved Happy Ever After and The Search by La Nora. The Gail Carringer Parasol Protectorate series, The Hunger Games series, The Ghost Exterminator by Vivi Andrews, and Exclusively Yours by Shannon Stacey.
Rowena’s favorites, The Iron Duke, Play of Passion and Demons From the Dark all in my top faves for the year. My top five:
1. The Summer of You by Kate Noble
2. I Kissed an Earl by Julie Anne Long
3. Pleasures of a Notorious Gentleman by Lorraine Heath
4. Married by Morning by Lisa Kleypas
5. Love in the Afternoon by Lisa Kleypas.
Darn! I was hoping to see my book listed here!! LOL!!
Some of my favs this year: The Queen of Babble series by Meg Cabot, The Uglies series by Scot Westerfeld, and The Duff by Kody Kelpinger.
@MJ: I loved the Hunger Games series too. I was bummed with the way the third book came out but still, overall that series was fanfrickintastic!
@Alex: I loved the books you mentioned, especially Married by Morning. How freaking adorable was Leo? And how far did he come from the first book? LOVE HIM!
@Renee: Hey you! Yes, I recommend all of the books that I put up on my list!
@Pam: I love your list!
Oh man, I love the Queen of Babble series by Meg Cabot. I haven’t read the Uglies series but I want to. I also want to read The Duff, I’ve heard nothing but good things about that book. Must get on that.
