W...W...W... (7)

W...W...W...Wednesdays is a weekly meme MizB of Should Be Reading. 

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?

So, here's my answers:

• What are you currently reading? Cowboys Like Us by Vicki Lewis Thompson.

If you haven't guessed by now, I LOVE my romance covers. And this one is icing on the cake. If all cowboys looked like this, I would not have left Texas. This is my first by Ms. Thompson and also first from the Harlequin Blaze line. AND it's the10th Anniversary Edition. There's actually 2 books in here. Notorious was Ms. Thompson's first book and she is 1 of 6 original authors that started writing for Harlequin Blaze at the beginning. I requested this off NetGalley.

Ripe for Pleasure by Isobel Carr
Oh second sons. You have been over looked and now you have your chance to proved that second sons are awesomer than first borns. Oh Leo. And yay for women who aren't virgins. It seems like I've been on a roll with them. It's time to shake it up a little. Bring a woman who has chosen the profession of courtesan and isn't afraid to admit to it. 

Dark Awakening by Kendra Leigh Castle
I heart vampires and I heart shifters. But in this book, we get the best of both worlds. Take one hot vampire who turns into a large cat with a side of seer with nightmares and what do you get? An explosive, sensual secret world filled with political upheaval, magick and betrayal. This is my first book of Ms. Castle's and I intend to put her backlist on The Pile. 

• What did you recently finish reading? 

Deeper Than Midnight by Lara Adrian

This is Ms. Adrian's latest book in her Midnight Breed series and let me just say that I stopped, dropped and read this book aka put down my review books and indulged. I have been wanting Hunter to have his HEA since he was saved by little Mira in Veil of Midnight. Now I can't wait for Chase's book. Is it January yet?

Tell Me You Want Me by Amelia James
Interesting premise. Hot and heavy, yet full of emotion. I may have to read another book by Ms. James. This book is set in college which is new to me. Usually the characters are out of school, living in the real world, holding down jobs, have kids, will travel. LOL. 

• What do you think you’ll read next?

Devil Without A Cause by Terri Garey
Have you seen the cover? Lord almighty! I just might trade my soul for that man to become flesh and blood in my living room. I've started a love affair with stories that put a twist on angels and demons, original sin and all that goes with it. Throw in a sexy rockstar and MILF and you've got an explosive story bound to tug at your heart strings and make your pulse race.

Five Friday Favorites

It's another edition of my Five Friday Favorites in which I pick five things that I really, really, really liked this week. It could be a movie, a book, a song, an alcoholic drink, a new piece of man candy, a new friend or even a new blog site. This week, I have had my writing pants on. Like seriously. This WIP is starting to shape up into something. It started off as a joke of sorts but it blossomed into something that might one day be worth publishing. But that's a long ways away. RWA happened this week in the NYC. I've been a tad jealous reading all the tweets and looking at pictures from some of the wonderful authors and bloggers I follow. Next year, it'll be in my backyard, sort of. If I had a backyard an hour and a half away. LOL. The third Transformer's movie comes out today. Oh Josh Duhamel. *sigh*
So here is what I'm loving this week:

Jenn LeBlanc. Yup. She's my man candy dealer. And she is an amazing author and photographer. She's got quite a few projects going. A story for an anthology, Perry's book (if you haven't read THE RAKE AND THE RECLUSE, get yourself to Amazon or B&N.com and BUY IT. There's picture in it. Hot, wet, half nekkid pictures.), casting for Perry (since the original decided to be a do-gooder and teach English to kids in Korea), something super fabulous at RomCon (involving kilts and a Muse) AND a photo shoot happening today. (Helloooo Daniel. Who's Daniel you ask? Oh man. Read Tiffany Reisz's SEVEN DAY LOAN. It's an erotica so proceed with caution.)


These guys. I'm not even going to write anything about them because I know you won't read any of this. Thanks Jenn for the inspiration. They've made the WIP as Muses.

Deeper Than Midnight by Lara Adrian. I have been waiting for this book forever. Okay, maybe not forever ever. But it sure feels like it. I may have dropped everything (aka review books) to indulge in this one. This is Hunter's book. The Gen One who was born and bred by Dragos to be a killing machine until a little girl's vision saves him. He now fights on the side of the Order. He has been conditioned not to feel any type of emotion and to detach himself from everything, until Corinne Bishop comes along. Be on the lookout for my review of this book.

This girl. You may know her as JamieLynn831 on Twitter or For the Love of Romance on Facebook or just Jamie when you talk to her. She is all sorts of AWESOME!! And I heart her. A lot. She has been super generous enough to get me some swag from RWA when she went for the signing. I can't wait to see her in August (35 days from now) for RomCon. We are going to rock out and fan girl squee over our favorite authors and be absolutely well behaved. (Maybe). Yay for internet BFF's or something like that.

'The Story of Us'- Taylor Swift. I have been listening to this song over and over and over again. It's at the top of my playlist for the WIP. Ah-mazing. Actually, most of the playlist consists of Taylor Swift songs. Don't judge me. She just has really awesome lyrics and catchy choruses. 

Sooo... what are you loving this week? A new book? A new movie? A new song? If you've got Man Candy to share, please do! Remember: Sharing is Caring. =)
