Contemporary Romance - All Lines Lead to Love
72 Hours (Devlin Group #1) - Shannon Stacey This book is still just as awesome as it was when I originally read it several years ago. I love Alex and Grace. *happy sigh*
Getting Hotter - Elle Kennedy Excellent book. I was almost in tears for Seth. Very emotional and an enjoyable read.
Surrender - Stephanie Tyler If you love military romantic suspense, then this book is for you. I loved it. There are twists that make me want to immediately reread it so I can see if there are any clues as to what's up. Man this is a good book.
Special Ops Exclusive - Elle Kennedy, Liz Bieler The book is excellent. I just don't think I'll ever understand a journalist's mindset when try to investigate and get the story.

Free Falling

Free Falling - S.E. Jakes Several twists I didn't see coming and I like the book even more because of them. I liked watching both characters grow and learn to trust.
At Last - Jill Shalvis I love Matt. *happy sigh*
High Risk - Vivian Arend Lots of sexy times combined with an excellent story that has twists to it I didn't see coming.
All He Ever Desired - Shannon Stacey I love this book. I love Ryan. There are several times I wanted to hold him or pet him. Such an awesome hero. Happy sigh. Lauren managed to redeem herself in my eyes which is why this is five stars.
Mr. Real: Code of Shadows: Book 1 (Volume 1) - Carolyn Crane I enjoyed this book. The concept is very different and Ms. Crane did an excellent job of allowing me to escape into her fictional world.
Haunted Sanctuary - Moira Rogers I got to read a very early copy of this book and didn't want to put it down while I was reading it. Moira Rogers writes my brand of reading crack. This book will probably be reread many times -- probably as many times as Crux and Crossroads get reread.

I love the hero, heroine and the story, and I'm looking forward to book 2 in this series.

The Zombie Billionaire's Virgin Witch

The Zombie Billionaire's Virgin Witch - Joely Sue Burkhart 4.5 stars
I had the chance to read this book last month and enjoyed it immensely. It has the feel of a category romance and other than the fact that you're dealing with witches, it reads like a contemporary romance.

I hadn't read a zombie romance book before this one because I didn't think I'd like them. I don't know what other books are like, but I trusted Joely Sue to make me fall in love, and I did.

The hero put on the Remy family signet ring after he won it in a bet. The ring is cursed so whenever he takes *off* the ring, the parts of his body that the curse is affecting take on the appearance of a zombie. I think this is why this book works for me - he's only a zombie when he takes off the ring and the heroine gets a chance to know him before she sees his zombie decay and...well I'll let you read the book.

The book is about 46k words and is a quick, enjoyable read.
Beyond Shame - Kit Rocha This book follows Noelle's journey of self-discovery and growth into who she's meant to be. Jasper also has to grow to understand what it means to truly belong in a committed relationship. The sex scenes are deliciously dirty and I loved the entire book.
Silver Mine - Vivian Arend 4.5/5 stars

I enjoyed this one. I didn't want to stop reading and go to bed when I got to a particular very exciting scene. The action scenes are very well written and I love how Chase and Shelley come together.

Moonglow (Darkest London, #2)

Moonglow - Kristen Callihan I don't quite know what to think about the ending. The entire book was so hard for me to put down which means the book is excellent.

But the ending...I think I resent the fact that she did what she did on her own rather than sharing her plan and allowing him the opportunity to help her get through it or figure out a plan of action together. That dropped it, in my mind, from 5 stars down to 4.5.
Taking Instruction - Cheyenne McCray This is a hot-for-teacher, BDSM story. Some *very* hot scenes.
Island Haven - Amy Knupp If you read the back cover copy for this book, you'll think it's all about Mercedes. It's not. This is Scott's book. He reaches rock-bottom and has to find a way to climb back out.
