G : Gift of Gold by Jayne Ann Krentz

SPRING: Scandal in Spring by Lisa Kleypas 4/14/10

These are my choices. I've had a hard time finding a Spring book that I was really interested in reading. But here we go!

S--The Secret Life of Bryan by Lori Foster

P--Playing with Fire by Gena Showalter

R--Returning Tides by Radclyffe

I--Intimate Beings by Jessica Inclan

N--Naked in Death by J.D. Robb

G--A Great Kisser by Donna Kauffman

SPRING--Goddess of Spring by P.C. Cast

The spring book is subject to change...so I could never find a spring book that wasn't a historical romance and I really dislike historicals, so in the future I might have to skip the bonus books. The most suprising read of my list (at least for me) was the j.d. robb book. It was hotter than I expect nora roberts to be...
