The Romance Troupe discussion

Give us some of the contemporary romance books you're reading and tell me a bit about them. If you've started reading it already, tell me what you think so far - just a hint.

I haven't started reading it yet, but I just bought RUSH by Maya Banks. I'm SO excited to read it!

Like that title. If that's any indication it should be a good read :-)

I'm currently reading All or Nothing, by Dixie Lee Brown (Avon Impulse). It's a romantic suspense. I'm about five chapters into it, so not far, but the hero has tracked down the heroine in order to protect her, because he promised a dying friend he'd make sure she stayed safe. He intends to carry out his promise at all cost. The hero is a little rough around the edges, very alpha, kind of bossy, but with a good heart. The heroine is strong enough to match wits with him, but soft and wounded. She's currently tugging on my heartstrings. I'm really feeling for her. Which, for me, it's all about the characters, so I'm hooked. :)

Just finished this one and it is free! I really enjoyed it - a twist at the end. Two more in the series are up next...

I just finished Kristin Higgins' One of the Guys and I loved the heroine. Time to pick a new book. There are some great ideas here.

Restless by Michelle Bellon

Funny, romantic, sexy…a love story.
You grow up. You get married. You have a family. At least, that’s what Malea Winters believes she’s supposed to do. So why is it that every time she comes close to finding that happily ever after, she runs?
When she meets Garrett Taylor, she warns him that she’s not the marrying type because history has shown that long-term relationships are not her forte. She has a tendency to leave when things get too serious; the direct result of being raised by an emotionally detached mother and a stepdad with philandering ways. So she swore off men and surrounded herself with her best friends; three quirky, funny women who are facing challenges of their own.
But Garrett is everything she’s ever looked for; charming, successful, fun, and sexy. Despite her better judgment, his persistence pays off and she finds herself falling for him.
Learning how to love and be loved will be the hardest lesson she’s ever faced. The question is, will her relationships survive that lesson?
