Yes, Simon *swoon*...lol
Welcome to the team, Elaine, Sharlene, & Carol!
May I have 'S' for
by Zoe Archer? Thank you! Have a great weekend.
It has been such a long time since I've participated in a group challenge. I'd like the W, if it's available. I'll read What a Duke Dares by Anna Campbell. :)

Okay, Ariana... I'm going to start that series. I've been looking and looking at it. Plus, though some of my GR friends differ, Carol gave it a great review; I trust her. :o)
Could I have an "A" for Alleyne Bedwyn in
....a re-read but I feel I need a Mary Balogh book right about now.
Welcome to the team, Vintage, Kathie, & Lindy-Lane!Kathie, did you know those are coming out on audio - finally! They aren't up to #5, yet. I think only #3.

Sharlene, they are quite dark in tone but I loved the first two books in the series.

Sharlene, ..."
I remember reading Maire Claremont's Mad Passions books, which were very dark, and I did love those books. I have heard nothing but good things about Kerrigan's books, so I look forward to reading them.

If you enjoyed the Mad Passions series, you will definitely enjoy this one.
Lisa, I really enjoyed the series so far. I can't wait to read the last book!

: Rachel Gibson"Sorry Lisa Kay...I did not notice your comment until today. Yes, I have seen the audio for the first few while perusing Audible...I'm really starting to get into audio books (something I wasn't sure I would like) so I just may have to check out the Mary Balogh ones too. Have you listened to any of them yet?
No, I haven't, Kathie. I'm way behind on my audio... and my eBooks... and my paperbacks & hardbacks! LOL! I do have the first three, though. Love them all, but especially love the last one. I'm so worried they are going to stop the audio productions before they get to Wulfric's story.
Actually, parts of his story are in some of the other books; MB do NOT recap. I kind of like that, but then people who just pick the last one don't know him like
Oh, I have read the whole series and I agree about Wulfric's story. In my review I said that I always thought Alleyne was my favorite but getting to know Wulfric better in his story changed that....my favorite in the series for sure. Now I have to think about going back and listening...everyone raves about Rosalyn Landor but I have not listened to her yet. I hate to say this, but I seem to prefer the men I have listened to...Nicholas Boulton, Alex Wyndham. But I did enjoy Kirsten Potter when I listened to "The Spymaster's Lady" and a few of Elizabeth Hoyt's Maiden Lane books with female narrators. However, I'm relatively new to audio so my experience is limited for sure. I'm trying to fix that though.
Oh, I haven't listend to anything by Nicholas Boulton or Alex Wyndham. I'll have to check something of theirs out.
You should...I love them both. I might listen to them read the phone book. Alex has done several Stella Riley & Lucinda Brant books and Boulton Laura Kinsale's.

I read it! Swooning again!
Hi, Kathy! You can put me in for "L," anywhere is okay with me!****Completed 02/18/17*****I'll be reading Silent In The Sanctuary," Lady Julia Grey series, book 2, by Deanna Raybourn this month ;)
Completed my letter challenge, today, Feb. 18!
Silent in the Sanctuary was another 5 star read for me, so meeting this challenge was no burden ;)
Welcome to the team, Jujubee!
I finished What a Duke Dares by Ana Campbell and I enjoyed it! I must admit I loved the second half more than the first, but it all come together so perfectly. :)
Congrats, Ariana!
...Valentine's Day card...
Congrats, Lindy-Lane!
...Valentine's Day card...
I finished my re-read of
with hero Alleyne and I loved it (and him) just as much the second time...5 stars.
I read
and although Eloisa James is one my favorite authors - Seven Minutes in Heaven was not my favorite book of hers - Edward Reeve was an impulsive jackass, who didn't get redeemed in my eyes and I couldn't really connect with Eugenia. I'll 100% get the next book in the series, but this one was not my cup of tea. 3 disappointed stars.
Molly wrote: "I read and although Eloisa James is one my favorite authors - Seven Minutes in Heaven was not my favorite book of hers - Edward Reeve was an impulsive j..."Oh, that's too bad. I read the original Desperate Duchess series, but haven't started the new ones yet.
Congrats, Kathie!
...Valentine's Day card... (This one I made myself! Please forgive the shadow.)
