Favorite Book(s) for July: I read so many, I don't have just one, so here are my top 3 favorite books:

Favorite Hero: Douglas Kowalski from . Hero was in the military, big tough and vulnerable and ready to take on any situation. On a side note, Roarke as usual is my all time favorite as usual.

Favorite Heroine: Claire from . She is a bit quirky but her antics are hilarious. She manages to do a lot for her kid and the interaction with mother and son at times are too funny. And as usual Eve Dallas.

Keepers: Way too many. In addition to the books listed above. There are also

New Discoveries: Read a new author. by Erin Nicholas. Will read her again.

Disappointments: Not this month.

Seraphina from tops the list easily.

New discoveries? Disappointments?
I discovered Franny Billingsley with the book . Her prose is so lyrical that I fell in love with it. Keplinger also finally worked for me in her new book . Tammara Webber is the newest author discovery. I'll definitely be on the lookout for more of her books. Series wise, discovered Riyria Revelations series by Michael J. Sullivan. Unfortunately, I finished the series.

Disappointment - . It had great potential but it was too long, lost its way in the middle with a ridiculous incident at the end. I gave it 2 stars.

Who's your favorite heroine for this month? Sabina from she just seems like a tough cool chick.

Any keepers? Most of them are on my Kindle so I'll probably just remove them,but technically still keep them.

New discoveries? never read anything by Pamela Palmer before and I really enjoyed this book so I will be checking out some of her other books/series.

Disappointments? Johanna Lindsey has always been my favorite author, but this book just wasn't up to par, but still enjoyable.
