Dee (canopydesigner) | 72 comments How about those of us who read alot and have read some authors that are fairly unknown suggest a series. Set up your favorite scene (happy or sad) and paste an excerpt.

Here is mine :

Here is one that I doubt many of you have read. It is called " The Madrigals" written by jennifer linforth.There are 2 books and a 3rd coming in the fall. It is a continuing story of the "Phantom of the Opera". Eric, ( thats the phantoms real name) has fled to the safety of his dungeon below the Opera house,found love with Anna in book 1 ( Lots of other stuff happens but my scene is from the second book.) In book 2 Anna and Eric are on the run from Raoul de Chagny's investigator. Anna and Christine are both pregnant. Eric is terrified the babe will look like him and Raoul is wanting a little princess. I wont tell you what happens when Anna gives birth , you have to buy the books to find out. Here is what happens at the Chateau de Chagny. Christine gives birth and we pick up with Raoul in the nursery with his little girl::::::

"" Raoul tucked the blanket closer around him and then adjusted the soft wrap protecting his daughter. He grinned at the contentment in her round face. How tiny could a child be? He could have placed her in the bassinet, but he was reluctant to let her go. Walking the nursery, keeping her close to his heart, Raoul lost himself in his thoughts for endless hours. He never wanted this introduction to end. He savored every second he had with the child he was so anxious to meet. The corners of his eyes pinched with exhaustion, but he refused to take his eyes off her face. By the time dawn peeked into the room, he finally relinquished her to the comfort of the cradle. He adjusted the blankets so she was warm and content and placed a gentle kiss to the center of her tiny forehead. A tear fell from his eye. Using his knuckle, he stroked it from a soft cheek. Raoul finally had his little girl. With one last look, he left her to sleep. * * * * An oppressive silence fell over Chagny during the hours that followed. Raoul could feel the throb of his heart keep cadence with Christine’s tears. To tell the woman he loved their child was stillborn, were the most difficult and senseless words he ever had to find."

The first book is called "the Madrigals" the second book is call "Abendlied"
This is a series worth reading !!

Here is the goodreads review of the 2nd book called Abendlied.

Dee (canopydesigner) | 72 comments Here's one I really enjoyed but I'm what some people whisper
"somethin not right bout that girl"
it's elloras cave so it's erotica and it's called "Beyond Eden" By Kelle Moon. It is a menage' so it may not be everyones cup of tea.

Terri ♥ (aka Mrs. Christian Grey) (mybookboyfriend) | 241 comments Beg for Mercy (A Cambion Series) by Shannon Dermott is a great book with good reviews. Different plot, twist and paranormal entity.

Yesenia Hernandez (yeseniagoodreads) | 40 comments Nicole Peeler is amazing! I loved her first 3 books of the Jane True series. The 4th was a little eh but still - she is definitely worth a shot.

Jane True is witty and gets into situations you can't help but laugh at while the supporting cast are stars themselves. LOVE them

Terri ♥ (aka Mrs. Christian Grey) (mybookboyfriend) | 241 comments Opps, I forgot to add the passage for the book. Here it is for Beg for Mercy Beg for Mercy (A Cambion Series) by Shannon Dermott

Here is a passage from the book.

When I turned back to look at him again his lips met mine. I had no time to prepare. The rush of heat was instant. I closed my eyes like they did in the movies to take in the sensations. It felt magnetic as if we couldn’t be parted. Waves of something I can’t describe rolled over and into me. I would understand later just what that sensation was.
I thought I died and gone to heaven until the front door opened and my mom walked in. I jerked back, horrified, staring at my mother in the doorway when Paul’s head hit my lap. Dumbstruck, I pushed him away urgently, never looking from my mother’s furious eyes. It was too late to warn him of the impending danger when he simply rolled off my lap and thudded on the floor.

It's a good book. Check out the reviews.

namericanwordcat | 231 comments I love Robin Owen's Celta Series and think it way under read. I pimp her lot.

Heart Mate (Celta's Heartmates, #1) by Robin D. Owens The entire series is great!

I also think GA Aiken's (Laurenston) Dragon Series is excellent. G.A. Aiken Bundle The Dragon Who Loved Me, What a Dragon Should Know, & Last Dragon Standing by G. A. Aiken

For lite fun Vivi Andrews, Eva Langlais, and Viola Grace should be on your TBR

The Ghost Shrink, the Accidental Gigolo, & the Poltergeist Accountant (Karmic Consultants, #1) by Vivi Andrews , Haldis Imperium (Champions of Terra, #5) by Viola Grace Bunny And The Bear by Eve Langlais

And for our UF fans the Sazi series is excellent =
Hunter's Moon (A Tale of the Sazi, #1) by C.T. Adams


(passage would make this post huge!)
