So, here's my answers:

• What are you currently reading?

Serendipity by Carly Phillips. Yeah, I know it seems like I've been reading this book forever. But I've had to get a few review books under my belt. This one was a leisure book. I'm 2/3 of the way done.

A Touch of Crimson by Sylvia Day. Yes, this one I've been reading forever too. The galley makes me go cross eyed, the way it's formatted. I'm almost done with it though. This book releases 10/4 so be on the lookout!

• What did you recently finish reading?

Every Scandalous Secret by Gayle Callen. Review pending on this one. The heroine was a total spitfire. She held her own against the hero. This is the third book of the Scandalous Lady series and we finally find out who the real nude model is. We also find out who wins the wager among the 2 sisters and their cousin, and the 3 gentlemen friends who find them sneaking in trying to steal the nude painting off the wall at a gentleman's club.


Mistress by Mistake by Maggie Robinson. A second read through of this book. I read it earlier this year. It's still hot. The heroine is still a sassy spinster. The hero still has super magical appendages. Read my review here.

A Midnight Dance by Lila DiPasqua. Oh my stars! By far, my favorite twist in the re-telling of the CINDERELLA story. Jules de Moutier is my new favorite hero. This book is a scorcher. Like short circuit your e-reader hot.

The Making of a Duchess by Shana Galen. Okay, so I sort of read the series backwards. This is the first book in Ms. Galen's Sons of the Revolution series. There's a character in this book that ties in Galen's latest, Lord and Lady Spy. Review pending on this one also.

• What do you think you’ll read next?
Bound in Lingerie by Gina Gordon. Yup. I've had this on the list of to read next for a few weeks. I'm finally going to get around it since Ms. Gordon will be guest posting next month. The cover is sexy. 


*stares at giant TBR pile and shudders* So many books, so little time. Choices, choices.

"Lindsey looked at the bed as she moved past it, remembering how she'd fantasized about seducing Adrian there. Her imagination in that regard had been especially vivid, yet nowhere near as raw and searing as the real deal had turned out to be."

• What are you currently reading?

So, here's my answers:

• What are you currently reading?

Bad Boys Do by Victoria Dahl. Hellooo Jamie Donovan. Hot for teacher.
Start Me Up by Victoria Dahl. Yes, another one. I've been slowly reading this book. Take a hot lady mechanic, put her together with a focused architect and you get an explosive story.  

Serendipity by Carly Phillips. Ah yes. The story of the one that got away but a second chance is in the cards. A story of the disgraced daughter whose father headed a ponzi scheme and the bad boy who left his family to be taken in by the state. 
A Touch of Crimson by Sylvia Day. Still reading slowly through this one too. 

• What did you recently finish reading?

Changing the Game by Jaci Burton. Whoa! Hot smexing with a younger baseball player alert. Prepare to get your panties melted off. Elizabeth Darnell has finally been redeemed from THE PERFECT PLAY. She was a total beeyotch in that one but Ms. Burton found a way to make me feel for her in this book.

Lord and Lady Spy by Shana Galen. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Regency style. You must read this. Words cannot even begin to describe my feelings for it. It's sexy, it's heart tugging, adrenaline pumping, totally unputdownable.

• What do you think you’ll read next?

Romancing the Countess by Ashley March. I've been chomping at the bit to read this since the snippets came out on her site months ago. The hero and heroine's spouses were carrying on an affair. If that doesn't intrigue you, I don't know what will.

So, here's my answers:

• What are you currently reading?

Changing the Game by Jaci Burton. Holy hotness! Elizabeth was a total bitch in THE PERFECT PLAY. This book is her redemption, with Gavin, Mick's younger brother. This should prove to be a bit awkward.

A Touch of Crimson by Sylvia Day. There's angels, er Sentinels. There are fallen angels aka vampires. There are lycans, indentured servants to the Sentinels. Got that? Now on to the complicated part. The head Sentinel, Adrian, has found the soul of his one true love in a mortal woman's body. He must save her before she dies. Again.

Serendipity by Carly Phillips. Second chances...

Start Me Up by Victoria Dahl. There's a little bit of tying up going on. Kinky.

• What did you recently finish reading?

The Making of a Gentleman by Shana Galen. Um, I won 3 copies of this book and I'm only getting around to reading it now?! It's a wonderful story. 

Romancing Lady Cecily by Ashley March. A novella which sets up ROMANCING THE COUNTESS (9/6/11). It's sexy, full of emotion and a bit mysterious, all in 15,000 words. 

Playing with Fire: Forbidden & Tangled by Karen Erickson. 2 books. Both stories complete scorchers. This is not for the faint of heart.

• What do you think you’ll read next?

Bad Boys Do by Victoria Dahl. I read GOOD GIRLS DON'T, which is the first book in the Donovan Brothers Brewery series, and LOVED IT! Looking forward to seeing if Jamie will finally find the woman to curb his wild streak. ***requested from NetGalley***

Touch of Crimson by Sylvia Day
Adriaaannnnn!!! Can a love that transcends death survive a war between angels, vampires, and lycans? 
We'll find out... 
Start Me Up by Victoria Dahl
Ok. So I was reading this last week and I should have finished it by now. I kind of dropped it and finished IN BED WITH A HIGHLANDER by Maya Banks. Sorry V.Dahl. This is a very sexy, sexy book AND there might be a little tying up going on. HOT!


• What did you recently finish reading?

Lessons in Indiscretion by Karen Erickson
Karen's first historical. The cover is gorgeous and this is my first Karen Erickson book. It was a fun, fast and sexy read. Karen was on Romance Lately last night.
In Bed with a Highlander by Maya Banks
I dropped trew and gave highlanders some love. This was such a great gateway back to reading books about highlanders. An alpha hero, a spunky heroine who has a tendency to blurt out whatever is in her head and a power hungry Laird who will stop at nothing to gain access to the dowry of the spunky heroine. Oh yes, and there's fighting and hot loving.

Growing Up Colt: A Father, A Son, a Life in Football by Colt and Brad McCoy, Mike Yorkey
This is a HUGE change for me. I was totally out of my ever loving Aggie mind. This basically starts off with Colt talking about his first game starting against the Pittsburg Steelers and then goes on to give an overview of his family history, his birth (born in New Mexico over Texas soil in a shoe box), his childhood, his siblings, his school days, his career at the University of Texas, getting drafted in the NFL and marrying his wife (washing of his wife's feet on their wedding night-TMI?). Interspersed are bible verses. Part how to, part memoir, it's a good read.

Serendipity by Carly Phillips
I swear I am going to read this book next. I've been saying it for the past couple of weeks.
Romancing Lady Cecily by Ashley March
A novella which ties in with Ashley's ROMANCING THE COUNTESS (release date: 9/6). Speaking of, she's on my blog today. Welcome Ashley!
