Wow, it has been a long time since I blogged. I have had a busy few months and just have not found the time. Working full time and going to college (at my advanced age to boot) have been rough, but I am still finding time to sneak in a romance novel here and there.

Fourth in a series of Aisling Grey – Guardian. Aisling is trying to get to the alter to marry her destined mate Drake, but her duties as a Guardian, Demon Lord, Prince of Hell (woops Abaddon) and her other various other responsibilities that keep conflicting with Drakes various dragon crisises (is that a word?).

Super funny and a great quick read.

Ethan Carrick is a vampire who owns a casino and happens to be the president of vampires. It is an election year and he has been advised to settle down and take a wife. He thinks he finds her in bubbly, sweet dentist Brittany Baldizzi. Brittany’s sister Alexis is the polar opposite to Brittnay, she is light to her dark, tough to Britt’s sweetness. She is also determined to save her sister from being kidnapped. What she doesn’t expect is to fall for Ethan, who of course is turned on by Alexis instead of Brittany.

Magic Study is the second in Snyders Fantasy series. As with the first in the series, Poison Study, I listed to the audiobook from audible.com. I am on a new fitness kick and enjoy listening to audio books while sweating and huffing on the elliptical trainer. (I know not a pretty picture).

Back to the story. Having found her true family in the first story, Yelena Zaltana is headed home to control and learn more about her Magic. Meeting up with her clan and immediate family produces mixed results as she uncovers what happened to her as a child.

All Together Dead – Charlaine Harris

I love this series and had no trouble pulling an all nighter to finish number 7 in the series. However I am unsure if an all nighter was very wise. My poor sleep deprived brain is left with the feeling that I really missed some things or that I am not very good at connecting point A to point B to resolution.

There is a whole LOT happenin between these pages and I am not going to go into a synopsis of the story because I still think I am lost in the middle. I know how it started, and I know how it ended, but how did we get there? If you have not read any Sookies books, don’t start here.

Ghost Hunter – Jayne Castle

Elly St. Clair is the daughter of a guild (mob) family and has been engaged to the Guild boss, Cooper Boone. As typically done in romance, Elly wants more than a business arrangement match and calls off the engagement when Cooper is clueless and in attentive to her.

I liked this story because Cooper is truly a clueless male. As I am married to one it is interesting to see that my hubby is not the only one to say something stupid and really not understand the significance of what he said. Sometimes men are just so dumb. So anyway, Elly moves away and starts her own business in another town. Cooper gives her six months to “calm down” and plans to show up and have her fall into his arms (stupid male).

Many months ago I started reading this book while waiting for my DH to have some minor outpatient surgery. At the time I didn’t think I was very impressed with the book so I put it aside and forgot about it.. The other day I was cleaning up the piles of to be read books in my bedroom and I ran across it. What struck my immediately was that I remembered exactly what the story was about. I don’t know about you, but I often forget the details of a book after I read it. You know when you look at a book and wonder if it was the Pirate or the Outlaw and did I like this story? Realizing that is rare for me to remember so many details about a book, I also realized that I must give it another chance and finish it. I am glad I did and I guess I was just not in a reading frame of mind when I started it.

The Dream-Hunter – Sherrilyn Kenyon

I want to start out by saying that I have every Kenyon on my keeper shelf and am always rushing out to get the next one. That said, I am going to place this copy of The Dream-Hunter on my shelf next to my Kenyon collection out of a collectors stubornness; but very sadly, I don’t think I can finish it. I have forced myself to read up to chapter 9 and I just cannot get into it. Normally receiving a new Kenyon was a sure sign that I was going to be pulling an all nighter, but when I first got this book a while ago, I had trouble reading it from the get go.

Lover Revealed - J.R. Ward

I have been waiting for this for so long and highly enjoyed it, but it is probably my least favorite in the series. I wonder if the wait and expectation of greatness is a setup for disappointment.

I just love the brothers, all of them. They are truly masculine and just so yummy. In the previous books there was a buzz from those who felt the story was approaching into homosexuality. I did not get that vibe and even if I did I would be A ok with it. The reality built by Ward is still fresh and so great to follow. She has a great imagination.
