ReplyDeletebn100candg(at)hotmail(dot)com
SO many call to me. :) I think the one who's pulled at my inner self the most is The King’s Concubine by Anne O’Brien. I was lucky enough to get to read an ARC of A Scandalous Scot by Karen Ranney and I LOVED it! There were parts that had me busting with laughter and following these two was such a wonderful journey. Morgan has some major trust issues and Jean is just the one to break through them. This was a fun read and will pull at your heartstrings too. Yep, Morgan and Jean are cozy in that special place of my heart that favorite characters go.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter got married on the 26th and they went on a cruise to the Bahamas and it was her first cruise. She loved it and I think she has been bitten by the "Cruise Bug" because they are already planning one for next year. I can't wait to hear about yours. I've always wanted to take one.
I'm a Karen Ranney fan too, Leah. Looking forward to getting a copy of A SCANDALOUS SCOT!
DeleteSo many books, so little time......... LOL I have read The Taming of a Scottish Princess – Karen Hawkins, and A Night Like This - Julia Quinn. I am determined to get Along Came a Duke – Elizabeth Boyle, Let Love Find You – Johanna Lindsey, The Cassanova Code – Donna MacMeans, Bedding Lord Ned – Sally MacKenzie, Unbuttoning Miss Hardwick – Deb Marlowe, Charmed by His Love – Janet Chapman, Rescue Me – Rachel Gibson, and Summer Days – Susan Mallery. I am also anxious to read Bane - Trish Milburn, I read the first in the series White Witch and could not wait to get Bane.
ReplyDeleteLots of my favorites on that list too, Dianna.
DeleteI just got turned on to Historical romance esp. Regencies--right now I am reading "The Heir" by Grace Burrowes and it just blows me away. I was a contemporary fan until a few weeks ago but now I don't really know what I saw in them. I am probably in a mood to escape reality but I can't see myself going for Paranormal, ever! I want something with one foot in reality.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in your giveway and I hope to win somethong "HR"
