Oh that series is supposed to be like crack. She's always a favorite on PNR lists. I'm at my limit for starting a long running series right now but plan on reading her soon.

I went to a used bookstore over the weekend and found the next five in the series. I screeched like a banshee lol

I've just started Archangel's Blade by Nalini Singh. *sigh* It's so good to be back in her world!

I read the first one. I have to get back into her world. I got side-tracked by JD Robb's In Death series

Has anyone read Philippa Gregory? I have the movie, The Boleyn Girls but I was wondering if anyone has read her books. I keep seeing them around and the covers are gorgeous. http://www.philippagregory.com/work/1-all-books/

I really liked The Other Boleyn Girl. The book is much more detailed and has a much more interesting storyline than the movie. The movie was a huge disappointment after the book. I enjoyed most of her books, actually. But that one is a good place to start.

Now that's a never ending series! What's it at now? 32 books?

Reading Atlantis Rising, by Alyssa Day. I don't usually read romance. I'm giving it a try.

I think that's about right. It could be 35 but I don't think any more than that. I got burnt out by the 24th book

I've just finished Alice Clayton's 'The unidentified Redhead' which I absolutely loved. Right from the start I was in love with the two main characters. I am about to start the sequel 'The Redhead Revealed.' For anyone who enjoys light romance with a twist of humour and lots of sexytime, these books are for you.

Courtney Milan's The Duchess War. Stunning. Like Middlemarch or North and South, but a romance novel.

Oh, I've got that series on my TBR list! How do you like it?

Just took the plunge and bought the last two books in Kresley Cole's IAD series. I had been on the fence due to the mixed reviews Lothaire was getting, but the $1 off at amazon nudged me to open my (virtual) wallet.

Rereading the Vampire Queen series by Joey W. Hill because it's that f'ing good.

I am reading The Soldier by Grace Burrowes, which is apparently the second book in a series (oops). I'm really enjoying it. It is one of the few romance books I have read that really captures the reality of sex (i.e. it is sticky and you are probably going to want to take a moment to clean yourself up before you fall asleep in a tangle of limbs) She also does a really good job of portraying the relationship between the brothers in the story.

All of Nalini Singh's books, they're fabulous! And then also Lori Foster's Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor series and Love Undercover Series

anyone have any holiday romance (contemporary or historical) recs? Thought I'd read one or two before Christmas...

Marianne is still available? I loved it - and bought the whole series when I was in France. Unfortunately, they were in box that was lost when I moved. Do you also know the "Catherine"-series by Benzoni?

Yeah, I know it, but haven't read it yet. We have the books in our summer cottage, so I'll read them at some point
Unfortunately I found Mariannes only as second-hand, so I don't know about the series' availability. Might take a bit work to find them all, depending on the language I guess.

Currently working on Nauti Temptress by Lora Leigh.

Do you like erotic romance? See my sig. There are other sweeter Holiday romances from great authors at Samhain too if you prefer.
(I'm reading CamWolf by JL Merrow which is also a Samhain Publishing novel. )

So the Christmas books I read were:

Holiday Sparks - Shannon Stacey
Season for Surrender - Theresa Romain
Claustrophobic Christmas - Ellie Marvel

The last one was really good.

Milan is an auto-buy for me. Speaking of which, did you know her novella A KISS FOR MIDWINTER is out now too? I flew through it.

And I just finished Isobel Carr's newest...RIPE FOR SEDUCTION.

I'd recommend both to anyone interested in historical romance.

Yes, a few AWers have holiday stories out. A little birdie told me I'm getting a kobo giftcard in my stocking, and I'm planning on using it to pick up Ros Clarke's holiday novella.

Oh, all the Entangled books are actually available at Kobo now! They weren't a few months ago. (And they're still not available at Sony.) Time to try one then, perhaps. I always get at least one Chapters/Indigo gift card at Christmas...

I'm reading the tenth book in The BlackDagger Brotherhood series by JR Ward. My go-to series when I dont want to read anything else and want to re-connect with old friends.

Bared To You, by Sylvia Day. Anybody a fan of hers?

I'm about to start Vampire Vacation by CJ Ellisson. Looking forward to something a little more lighthearted than my usual fare.
