Anne Stuart Fans discussion

What book is currently taking up your time?


I'm reading . It's very good!

I'm reading . My boy (John Medina) hasn't walked on the scene yet.

I'm reading Eternal Kiss of Darkness right now. It's pretty good.

I'm reading , though it's no Anne Stuart, she could have written the H. Devon's an anti-hero so far, just the way I like them.lol

I'm doing a repeat of Wicked Pleasure. I was in mood for something steamy.

I finished Water Bound, and I loved it! Now I'm reading Ashes of Midnight.

I finished and am now reading .

I finished and now I'm onto . I'm only on page 68 so far and I'm really hoping the H escapes from his captors soon, I don't like my H's helpless and not in control. =(

I just finished 4 of the Demonata series by Darren Shan, I like to read whatever my 14 yr old son is into, they were okay but really gross, in terms of blood and gore. Am trying to get thru A Fine Passion by Stephanie Laurens, but finding it very heavy going, and doubt I can finish it - I usually like her stuff, but definitely not this one! Am a fan of Eva Ibbotson, and have just opened her children's novel The Star of Kazan, which my daughter just finished. Oh, and am 50 pages into 20th Century Ghosts, by Joe Hill, Stephen King's boy, which is one of the best short story collections I have read in ages.

Finished and am now reading .

I finished today. I'm planning on next.

I'm almost finished with and I'm not sure what to read next. I've really liked this book and I watched the book trailer on youtube for and that looked really good so I might read that one next.

Noelle, I'm glad you liked AHLNO. I was hoping you would. Dark Lover is pretty good, but the series gets even better.

Carolyn, I'm excited to read Spider's Bite.

I'm pretty surprised that I liked it as much as I did. Now my only problem is that other than Dark Lover the only other prn book that I have right now is and I feel like I should spread them out a little and make them last.lol

Personally, I like to break up genres. I mix things up when I read.

That's what I usually do but I've been know to get into ruts. =)

I know what you mean. When that happens, I reach for a sure thing. :)

I just started by Patricia Gaffney. It reminds me a bit so far of an AS book -- the hero is DARK...a rake almost beyond redemption.

Tammy, I read To Have and To Hold, and I agree. I thought it was a very good book. I don't know if it would work as a romance for all readers, but I enjoyed it.

I'm thinking, Danielle, that you and I share a love of the same type of hero - is he the one they are now calling an "omega"?

Tammy, I've seen 'gamma' used. But it's confusing, because they also use gamma for a hero who is part beta and alpha. I tend to call them dangerous heroes myself.

Good point -- whatever we call 'em, I like 'em. ;)

Me too!

Well now it looks like I'll have to add another book to my October book order! lol I've only read one of Patricia Gaffney's books (Lily) and I loved it, so now it looks like I'll have to buy 'To Have and To Hold' too. =)

If you loved Lily, To Have and to Hold will rock your world. :-)

That's good to know.lol I do have her book in my tbr. So my question is, does she write all of her heros as a anti-hero, gamma or what ever??? If so I'll move CH up on my to read list.lol

All of Gaffney's books are quite different and she writes many different types of characters. Crooked Hearts is more funny than dark. The hero is a con-man, so a bit of an anti-hero, but not in dark way.

Thanks willaful, now I know to read it when I'm in the mood for something a little lighter and funny. =)

I'm in middle of and I'm loving this series.

I love the LOTU series, Othena.

Just started Reckless and all I can say so far is WOW.

That's a good sign. :)

The tension between them is SMOKING HOT - makes my own stomach clench, lol.

Ooh. I can't wait!

Just started One Dance with a Duke - my first Tessa Dare book and I'm liking it so far.

I'm still reading .

I'm reading and

I read some of Gena Showalter's Atlantis series, and really because I'd read extracts from LOTU (okay, and the covers) but stopped because the writing wasn't that great. The chapters I'd browsed thru of LOTU seemed excellent - anyone else read the Atlantis series?

Apart from that, currently reading with short stories by Mary Balogh and Edith Layton, a real find at a UBS as I'm a Mary Balogh fan (and haven't got access to libraries here!) and the first of the Sookie Stackhouse books, which I found hilarious, but maybe too much sex vs plot for me (I know, how can I say that!) for the whodunnit style.

Nilofer, I became a fan of GS with her Atlantis books. I think the LOTU series is better--more intense, pretty dark, a little humor, but more serious than the Atlantis books. The first one is kind of rough, but it's a great series.

Just started Hidden Honor- can't wait til I have some uninterrupted reading time!

Hope you enjoy it, Tammy.

I'm sure I will - I picked it up to read the back cover blurb and before I knew it I was on page 18!

I need to reread that one. I truly enjoyed it. Liked the couple very much.

I loved that book too. But then, I haven't found an Anne Stuart book I haven't loved. I loved the setting - it's a bit out of the ordinary.

And I liked the monkish hero. :)

Oh yes. He really struggles with his feelings, his duty and his past.

I'm just about done it -- I like the hero very much, and the Elizabeth as well. My only complaint (and not a big one) is I would have liked more about his past. It's mentioned a bit, but I'd like to get to know him a bit better ;) Otherwise, great book!

So far this weekend I've finished , started and bailed on (blech - there's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back) and started - I'm really looking forward to reading this one.
