Rachel and Tina, I hated Clayton because I thought he was abusive and I couldn't believe their HEA for a minute. I might try McNaught's contemporaries, but I don't think I will read any more of her historicals.

SWJaggy, I had the bad fortune of being in the middle of reading The Mists of Avalon when Marion Zimmer Bradley died, so I think that just made the depressing nature of the book that much worse. The King Arthur story always makes me sad though anyway. I loved that Morgaine was a sympathetic character in Mists, but I still found her life very frustrating.

Tina, I don't think it's weird that you like Sala but don't like McCall as much. I'm the same way with Roberts/Robb. I loved the first In Death book but I haven't liked the few Roberts books I've tried (although they were her old Harlequins, not any of her newer stuff yet).

onionroach, I hope your library has Rachel Gibson's books. I loved See Jane Score- and not just because I'm a hockey nut like the author- and I liked Sex, Lies, and Online Dating. I haven't read many contemporary romances and none written all that recently, so I was kind of shocked at how hot her books are and at some of the language used. I'll probably read Simply Irresistible after I finish another library book.

I'm going to the library tomrrow. I a have so many ready to be picked up.

[onionroach]

Soz, cool. I requested both those books from the library.

Soz, that's a bummer. I agree; I love how Morgaine is a sympathetic character in Mists. Since in a lot of the legends she is pictured as being a true evil character and only doing magic for her wants and not the wants of others. And I also agree; I too find her frustrating.

One things for sure, I'm glad I waited to read this book since seeing the movie back in 2001 b/c there are some adult scenes in them.

I just picked up Tami Hoag's "Lucky's Lady" I can't wait to start it. I'll let you guys know how I like it.
Anyone else read her books??

[JENNY_83]

sorry to double post.........
but I already finished it and It was very HOT!! What a page turner!
I like this one. The story was intersting and the characters were really in love and it was just veey well written. I think this was her first romance novel, so not sure if she has many others. I will def look for more of her suspenses though.

Now I am reading Judith McNaught's "Tender Triumph"

[Soz]

onionroach, I hope you like them.

SWJaggy, I was glad Morgaine at least found some happiness anyway. And I'm glad she wasn't condemned to some awful punishment like she has been in other King Arthur stories I've read and seen.


I'm reading my huge pile of Nora Roberts Harlequins/Silhouettes. I don't know why I got so many of them. I've read Megan's Mate, Without a Trace, and Cordina's Crown Jewel and the only one I liked was the third one. Now I'm working on the Stanislaski series. I still have the MacGregor series and some other books from the Calhoun series to read yet too.

I read Simply Irresistible by Rachel Gibson and it was cute and sweet, but also quite sexy and touching. I love that Gibson's characters don't fight through the whole book and that they start to like each other before they fall instantly in love. I also love her big, tough, manly heroes who turn into big softies.

Jenny: Many people say that TT is the worse out of all of her books... as I heard, it's not really her writing style. But, I hope you enjoy it.

Where do you girls read your books? At night while you're in bed? Or in the afternoon?

When I read books, I have to have peace and quiet and be in my bed. I'll stay up at the latest at 6 am to read a book. It has to be really good for me to really stay up that late.

[JENNY_83]

Well it was good I thought. I liked the Lucky guy.
I agree 100% about the in bed and up late. I am the same way, i love reading in bed with mycup of tea and staying up as late as I can
The latest for me was 3:30am I just couldn't stop reading I just had to get to the next chapter then the next.

[Faith In You]

Jenny: I know what you mean. I always try to get to the next chapter instead of stopping right in the middle of a sentence or the end of the page. I'm glad you enjoyed TT. What are you going to read next?

[JENNY_83]

next I am going to read "Remember When" by Judith McNaught.
I am reading "Until You" right now by her, but it's not her best work. I am a huge fan of everything else I have read so far of hers.

[Soz]

I read whenever I can. I take books with me to my SO's bike races, I read while extending the expire time on shows on my TiVo, and I do a lot of reading during VH1 Classic's The Alternative. I've seen the videos hundreds of times, so I just have it on as background music while I read. I try to read in bed, but lately I'm too tired when I go to bed, so I've been reading on the couch while I cuddle with my snuggly cat.

[Faith In You]

Jenny: Wow. You read pretty quickly! I have to wait a week or two in between when I finished a book... that way, I can digest it! I haven't read UY yet. I hope you enjoy it. I have RW, I have yet still to read. If you would like some recommendations, I would suggest you read Sharon Sala. Out of the Dark and Snowfall are the best ones that I've enjoyed by her so far.

Soz: That's cute! I wouldn't be able to read with any noises! It would lose my contentration.

I really wanna get back into reading but I've had so many appointments I haven't been able to.

[onionroach]

I was looking for a romance to sink my teeth into and checked out Sabrina Jeffrie's One Night With a Prince. I stoppe reading it a third of the way through and started rereading Stephanie Lauren's A Secret Love instead. Oh well.

Jenny, I agree that Until You is not one of her bests.
