April 15 - 21

I wish I could find a book that makes me want to reread it as soon as I finish it, it has been a while. Another so-so week of reading. The biggest disappointment was THE NIGHT DRIFTER.


I have a new Blog for my day to day life, drop by and say hello.

THE NIGHT DRIFTER Rated C
Susan Carroll
5/1999
Rom/H/O-Georgian

The book just dragged the whole way.
I didn't feel sorry for a man that was still pouting because he made a fool of himself over a married woman when he was 18 year old....he is shoot in battle and his brother Valentine took the injury to himself and is now a cripple.

Rosalind is kind of a twit, she believes in all the magic tales of King Arthur...a bit boring.

I skipped about 7 chapters, read the end then skimmed the missing chapters.

Not interested in Val's story.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN MAN Rated B
Jillian Hart
5/2005
Rom/H-Frontier

A giant of a man that was sent to prison for a rape he didn't commit. The town he lived in killed his family (mother, grandfather, and step-siblings) by locking them in their house and setting it on fire. After 10 years of hard labor he is out of prison living in the mountain not wanting any woman near him.
The heroine is a his laundry lady who travels up the mountain to deliver his clothes. A bear attacks her wagon and he saves her but he is badly hurt.

THE CUTTING EDGE Rated B+
Linda Howard
9/1985
Rom/C

This one was a reread. I enjoy some of Linda Howard's earlier books with the alpha heroes.

THE RANCHER's BRIDE Rated C
Barbara McMahon
1/2004
Rom/C

This is a modern day mail order bride. Rancher has to marry and produce an heir within a year.


Today I am reading PRAIRIE WIFE by Cheryl St. John. Kind of sad and depressing so far. I want to smack the heroine upside the head or shake her.

I ordered a few books this week and they've arrived in the mail.
OF MIDNIGHT BORN by Lisa Cach - ghost ( I've never read her, any opioions?)
GEORGE AND THE VIRGIN by Lisa Cach (TT)
THE WISHING CHALICE by Sandra Landry (TT)
DUKE OF SIN by Adele Ashworth (has anyone read this one??)
