My book reading this year has been off and on....mainly off. Good books are boring, so I am going to see if reading some contemporary suspense and comedies can put me back into the mood to read till midnight.

Here are my June reads, mostly secret babies.

ANYBODY's DAD Rated C+
Amy J. Fetzer
8/1997
Rom/C
Sperm bank mix up. The hero's ex-wife gave his sperm to another woman after he found her birth control pills. He divorced her but not before she made sure another woman had his beloved baby.

JOEY's FATHER Rated B+
Elizabeth August
10/1990
Rom/C
They fell in loved, married in just a few weeks. He leaves for the city with her to follow soon but he is injuried in a car accident badly enough he decides she is better off without him. He divorces her before she can tell him she is pregnant.

THE SECRET BABY Rated B-
Day Leclaire
5/1997
Rom/C
He is a dumba**, they are living and working together when she is accused of betraying the company. He will not listen to her, shut her out, throws her out. She is on the streets, pregnant, she marries the man he consideres his enemy. Years later he come back for revenge. Hero should have spend a few chapters groveling.

SPENCER's CHILD Rated B-
Joan Kilby
11/1999
Rom/C
Spencer doesn't want to be a husband or a father. He yells it to everyone. He loves to party, be free like his dophins and whales he studies. Now he finds he has an ADHD child but he will give his money not his time and love. Another hero that needs a whack to the head with a baseball bat.

THEIR BABY MIRACLE Rated C+
Lilian Darcy
3/2005
Rom/C
This book was hard to read because of the baby being a preemie, she was doing fine their romance would be fine then the baby took a turn for the worst and the romance suffered. Too heart wrenching.

HIS SECONDHAND WIFE Rated B+
Cheryl St. John
7/2005
Rom/H-Frontier
Very sweet romance. Noah is a wonderful wounded soul and Kate is prefect to love all of his imperfections.

THE MAN FOR HER Rated C
Alice Valdal
3/2005
Rom/H-Frontier
I was disappointed with this book on many levels. The heroine is a strong woman having loved and lost, to bring her love child up alone. But the hero's gold fever was a little to much. Her son is a brat that needs a belt.


Now I've started into July...again it is slow but I am hoping a change in genre will help launch me too reading heaven. I read TAKE A CHANCE ON ME by Susan Donovan in just a day, giving it an A+
