A Perfect Hero
A Perfect Groom
Read both this week at Hastings. Enjoyed them both until the "Garbage Man" came and sat behind me. Eew! He has roaches in his car and I am not even being mean. Emily and i started laughing and had to move.

Great Vampire stories. A really clever reason that vampires would even exist in todays world. Highly recommended
A Bite to Remember
Single White Vampire
Love Bites
Tall Dark and Hungry
A Quick Bite
A Bite to Remember
Bite me if you can
The Accidental Vampire (one of my favorites-the series was getting a little repetitious)
Vampires are forever
Vampire Interrupted
Skipped several because I got tired of them...
Hungry for you
Skipped a few more
Under a Vampire Moon
Skipped a few more
Vampire Most Wanted (this one was pretty good too, a more interesting lead character, not too much repetition about the vampire origin story and it is finally assumed that you have read previous books)

Tonight I read "Spell of the Highlander". I thought it was funny and sexy. I am not always fond of time travel romance, but this one was well done. I am looking forward to reading more by this author.
I have also read "Beyond the Highland Mist"

She's No Princess - I read the first chapter at Hastings and had to leave. Someone bought it before I could finish it. AAugh!
8/15/06 I found the bood at Borders. I bought it this time. It was pretty good. I look forward to more by this author.

First Kiss - Lousy! I hate books like this. The heroine is a shallow idiot who goes on to do great things and screw a handsome jerk. He actually complements her brains but she is stupid enough to think that brand names matter and that she should by an $800 halter top because someone famous said it would be cute on her. What planet do people like this actually live on? I can't believe I managed to muddle through. I even tried to view it as a farce, comedy, or satire with no luck. Just awful.

Brazen Temptress - My brother refused to check this one out of the library for me and the librarian pretended that she would never read something like a romance novel. I prevailed and got the book which reminded me of a Maureen O'Hara movie. The heroine was even named Maureen although she had a stupid nickname. I hate it when the character has a nickname, especially when it is a name belonging to the opposite sex. It's confusing, I forget who the characters are.
Brenda Joyce
The Masquerade
This was the lousiest, tawdriest novel. This book is why people look down on the romance novel. Jerry Springer would have put these people on his show and had a field day. I just don't go for the ate a guy your sister has slept with and had his baby plot. Gross. Reminded me a bit of Tess of the d'Urbervilles but lacked the symbolism and critical view of the victorian era.

Diary of an Ugly Duckling (Advance Proof) - not my usual reading, but I enjoyed it. Made me tear up several times. I wouldn't have done what Audra did at the end of the book, not after all that work. I'm not sure if I feel like it was an honest ending, or the one I was supposed to want. You will have to read the book if you want to know more, it comes out June 27, 2006.

Katie picked this one out for me at Book People in Austin.
Let me say she picked a racy one: alien sex, hovercrafts, and firing pistons. The title, "Talk Nerdy to Me"
I have also read:
Nerd Gone Wild
Bill, standing over my shoulder reading while I type, asked, "Is it the nerd series?" Then he actually giggled.

Well, here it is, the February review for the book challenge.
Title: Lady of Sin
Author: Madeline Hunter
Year Published: 2006
Why did you get this book? I was looking for an entertaining, steamy read by a new author.
Do you like the cover? It's a little cheesy. I don't go for the sex on the cover type books
Did you enjoy the book? It was ok. The plot was predictable and a little unbelievable. I think the ending was a little too neat and happy.
Was the author new to you and would you read something by this author again? Yeah, her writing is good so maybe she has better plots in her other books
Are you keeping it or passing it on? Well, since I read it at Hastings, I am passing it on.
Anything else? I don't recommend this book unless you have nothing else to do.
3/6/06 Lord of Sin was much better than Lady of Sin, I think there is hope for Ms. Hunter and that I will enjoy reading her other books
3/8-15/06
I have now read:
The Sinner
The Saint
The Charmer
I am glad I kept reading this author. She is very entertaining.

My sister sent me this one, she thought I would like it (I like people, occasionally). It was pretty funny and I recommend it to everyone. I can't wait to read more by this author.

Well, here it is, the January review for the book challenge.
Title: Lola Carlyle Reveals All - When ex-supermodel Lola Carlyle learns that some very--ahem--private photos of herself are being peddled on the internet, she hides out where there’s sun and-she thinks-safety, until the gossip dies out. Then the private yacht she’s blissfully napping on is "commandeered" by some man who says his name is Max Zamora, and that he works for the government.
Author: Rachel Gibson
Year Published: 2002
Why did you get this book? I looked for a cute cover by an author who had several books on the shelf, that way if I liked, I could read more books by this author.
Do you like the cover? Of Course, the polka dot red bikini and the name Lola Carlyle caught my eye immediately.
Did you enjoy the book? Definately. I like the alpha male kind of guys. Being an alpha female, it is fun to lock horns with them.
Was the author new to you and would you read something by this author again? I don't think I have read any of Ms. Gibson's books, but I would definately read one again. This book was almost as exciting as a Clancy novel, but a lot steamier.
Are you keeping it or passing it on? Well, since I read it at Hastings, I am passing it on.
Anything else? The only thing I didn't like about the book was the plot with the drug lord wanting to kill the hero, was never resolved.
