I just started "Shadows of Yesterday" By Sandra Brown.
I'm sure it'll be another good one.

I finished See Jane Score. It was good. I definately recommend it as a contemporary romance to read. I still haven't finished Ghost Hunter by Jayne Castle. I'm getting close. The mystery is intersting but the romance is a little blah for me.

Any Bertice Small fans here?

I finished her book Until You the other day and I found it absolutely wonderful. I couldn't put it down. The funny thing is that when I took it out of the library I never realised that it was the secound book in a series. The first one is called Rosemond which I need to get now aswell as the remaining books in it.

I stumbled upon my copy of The Least Likely Bride (which is very good) by Jane Feather and it just got me wondering where the heck did I keep her Kiss trilogy. I

that trilogy especially the 2nd installment ("To Kiss a Spy")!

I picked up Anyone But You by Jennifer Crusie at the library the other day. I meant to just read the flap and check it out another time, but I was hooked from the first paragraph of the flap!

I'll probably read it Wednesday when I go to my SO's bike race.

I read that a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. You're in for a treat.

Jennifer Crusie is great. I do like her. And Anyone But You is a nice quick read.

Frozeninside, I've only read one Beatrice Small book. I can't remember what it was called but it was about a girl who gets married and then her husband goes missing and she goes to find him and gets caught by the brother/sister couple who has her husband and they are into alchemy and stuff and so her husband doesn't remember her and is in 'love' with the sister and she becomes involved with the brother and it's a convoluted story and I really didn't like her husband. The books was set in historical England. That's all I remember. I don't think it was one of her better books.

I finally finished Ghost Hunter and I enjoyed the mystery more than the romance. Oh well. It was enjoyable and light reading so that's always good.

onionroach yeah all of her books are historical romances, Until You by her is what got me back in to them.

**onionroach** · 08-01-2006, 04:04 AM

Maybe I'll try that one. I've heard great things about her, I think I just picked the wrong book.

JENNY_83 · 08-01-2006, 11:50 AM

I need to check out Jennifer Cruise.

I read Anyone But You tonight and it was so sweet, but is it wrong that my favorite character ended up being Fred the dog?

Now that I've found Rachel Gibson and Jennifer Crusie, I will be reading more contemporary romance.

JENNY_83 · 08-03-2006, 10:25 AM

I'm putting some of hers on hold right now.

**onionroach** · 08-04-2006, 04:09 AM

I hope you like Crusie. I really like her later stuff -- Welcome To Temptation, Faking It, and Bet Me. Her older stuff is good too but I think she really comes into her own with the latest ones.

I'm still waiting on Sex, Lies, and Online Dating by Rachel Gibson.

I saw "Faking it" and didn't pick it up.

I will next time. I don't know why I didn't get it.

Oh well.
I just finished "Kill and Tell" by Linda Howard. That's right, I'm still going through my Howard phase.

It was good. Not her best but if you like the Romance suspense as much as me, you'll like it.
Next.......
"Dying to Please" Linda Howard.

This one sounds very interesting.
I'll be back to tell you all about it.

**Faith In You** · 08-08-2006, 11:21 AM

Wow. I missed a lot.

Well, I read Once & Always and A Kingdom of Dreams by Judith McNaught and loved them both!

The last book I finished was Memoirs of a Geisha. Not really a romance book... but good.

I don't know what book I wanna read next... I'm gonna be starting college soon, so, might not have time.
