Raintree: Haunted (Silhouette Nocturne) 32 reviews Linda Winstead Jones
Silhouette, 2007
Read them all
+ Raintree Haunted + chemistry between two strong characters
This book was very good. It had great pacing and was quite good at holding my interest (which is not always easy). Although it is not the first in the series, it makes you want to get the trilogy.

7th Heaven (The Women's Murder Club) 109 reviews James Patterson, Maxine Paetro
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
Loved 5th, missed 6th, loved 7th
+ I Like it! Good read for series junkies! + Women's Murder Cllub
I have become a huge Patterson after reading the 5th Horseman, lapsed on the 6th Target and found my way back for 7th Heaven. I just love the play on numbers. This is the 7th novel in his Women's Murder Club series and the book starts off in as far a place from heaven as possible with victims found ...

Hello Gabe (XOXOXO)
I absolutely love this story! Gabe Baldwin is my favorite male character in this MUST READ series. His character is alpha-male, hot, sexy, and mysterious. I like that in the characters I read about. Of course, Charles Mason and Clint Chamberlain aren't bad either. I wouldn't kick either one of ...

Dragon Harper (Dragonriders of Pern, The) 38 reviews Anne Mccaffrey, Todd J. Mccaffrey
Del Rey, 2007
Not excellent, but good and worth reading
+ Dragon Harper + Dragon Harper
I think a couple of these reviews are a bit harsh. Sure, Todd has to find his way around and always will be measured against his mother's legacy - and that's a tough one!
So far I've liked all the "mother/son" collaboration results. This one is not so much about dragons, but honestly - I don't ...

Bungalow 2 46 reviews Danielle Steel
Delacorte Press, 2007
Better than others
+ It was an ENJOYABLE READ!! + Bungalow 2
I liked the story of Bungalow 2 much better than some of Ms. Steel's recent novels. There was tension and conflict and the story was resolved satisfactorily. There is still something of the old Danielle Steel style still missing here. The story is mostly "told" and not "shown", although this is ...

At All Costs (Honor Harrington) 96 reviews David Weber
Baen, 2007
Starts Slow, but Ends with a Bang
+ Harrington FTW! + Chronological Order
As this is book 11 of the Honor Harrington series by David Weber, this review will not dwell on the back story leading up to At All Costs - read the first 10 books to get an idea of the politics and machinations that this series has taken on.
At All Costs picks up where War of Honor left off - ...

Unusual story for Ms. Quinn - but I liked it - shows author's growth
+ Dear Diary.... + I would read this book again!!!
I purchased this book when it first was released. The reviews were so immediately negative that I put off reading it for quite a long time. Having just finished Ms. Quinn's latest release (Two Dukes....), and disliking it so much, I really hesitated to read this one. Am I glad that I did!

Cecily von Ziegesar has a brilliant writing style that shows some of the true nature of teen girls, no matter how sweet, soft, sensitive or shy. In "Lucky," Cecily von Ziegesar takes some average teenagers and some who are above the norm ...
