Casee: After the pathetic reading month that was May, I’m starting June off right. I’m reading The Darkest Torment by Gena Showalter. I love the Lords of the Underworld. It’s been over a year since Torin’s book came out and I didn’t even know that I was impatiently waiting for Baden’s book. Now I’m impatiently waiting for Cameo’s book. And William’s. And Gilly’s. The list goes on and on. That’s how good this series is. If you haven’t read it, give it a try.
I’m really into paranormal right now. The next book I’m going to try is Marked by Elisabeth Naughton. The premise of the series interests me though I do remember not liking one of her previous series. I’m keeping my fingers crossed on this one.
Rowena: My reading has slowed down some in the last couple of weeks. I’ve only read Shards of Hope by Nalini Singh and now I’m reading Allegiance of Honor. I’m sad that I’m almost done with this world, well for the moment. I’m liking what I’m reading so far. It’s what I’ve wanted from other series I love.
What are you reading this week? Any new favorites or books that drove you crazy? Share!
Books I’ve recently read and enjoyed ~
— The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata. The hero of this book was so utterly unappealing for the first third of the book that I’m impressed that the author was able to make me like him by the end.
— Rhythm, Chord & Malykhin by Mariana Zapata
— Listen To Me: A Fusion Novel by Kristen Proby
— a re-read of Addicted to You (One Night of Passion Book 1) by Beth Kery
— Night Study by Maria V. Snyder. This is the most recent book in an enjoyable fantasy series; I’d definitely recommend beginning with the first book in the series, Poison Study.
— the contemporary romance The CEO Buys In (Wager of Hearts Book 1) by Nancy Herkness
— a re-read of the historical romance His at Night by Sherry Thomas
— the historical romance The Marquess of Cake (Redcakes Book 1) by Heather Hiestand; I enjoyed it though it was not without issues. I’m not sure if it was a formatting issue, but every so often the scene would change from one paragraph to the next with no warning. Also, sometimes the dialgoue seemed anachronistic. One aspect of the book that I enjoyed was that the hero was hypoglycemic in an era where that was unrecognized.
— a re-read of A Gift of Gold which is a historical romance novella by Mary Balogh
— two linked male/male erotic novellas by Amy Lane that feature the same characters: Shirt and Phonebook. (Both are free to Kindle readers)
I started a new series that I am absolutely in love with–the Phoenix Adventures by Anna Hackett. It’s scifi romance and I was so smitten that I read 3 books and a novella in just 2 days. I would have happily read more of the books if I had more time, ha. It’s about a group of brothers who are SPACE TREASURE HUNTERS. Can you tell I’m excited about it? 😉
And before I started giving down this series, I read an old Julie Garwood suspense (ugh, can’t remember the exact name…maybe Murder List?). I’ve never read any of her suspense before but it was pretty good.
I just finished Don’t Tempt Me by Lori Foster it was really good 😀 I am also reading Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas and really enjoying it.
