I'm planning to start Do-or-Die Bridesmaid tonight. Available now from Harlequin.com, will be on Ammy February 1. Julie Miller is my only autobuy author.
I just finished reading Sherry Thomas's new Lady Sherlock mystery, The Hollow of Fear. An excellent addition to the series, IMO. Charlotte spends a lot of time disguised as her non-existent brother, Sherrinford Holmes as she tries to aid her friend Lord Ingram who is a prime suspect in his wife's, Lady Ingram's, murder. The story continues the development of Charlotte and Lord Ingram's relationship, and we also see Mrs. Watson again. It's good. Fortunately, my library owns a copy of the Kindle version because it's selling for 9.99.
Now I'm almost finished with Katharine Ashe's The Prince and really liking this one also. Once again, coincidentally, we have a heroine who spends a lot of time pretending to be a man. Libby Shaw is a brilliant young lady whose dream is to be a surgeon, despite the fact that no lady has been permitted to do that. She is taking classes at Edinburgh's famous Royal College of Surgeons. Our prince is in exile, waiting until it's safe for him to return to his homeland. Meanwhile, he keeps busy as a talented artist and winds up helping Libby by letting her stay in his home, among other things. He's pretty fantastic as a hero, IMO, but Libby is a likeable character also.
So looks like I'm starting the new year off right with two winners.

I love Julie Miller, but I have to say that this was not her best effort. It wasn't her worst, either. It took me a while to warm up to the characters and I hard time connecting with the book. It is loosely tied to KCPD but much of the story takes part in Virginia. The H is the U.S. Marshall from Protection Detail, the last book of the Watson's mini series, Bachelors in Blue. He now works for KCPD. I still haven't written my review on GR even though I finished the book yesterday. I need to mull over why this one did not work as well for me as most of her books and why I couldn't really connect to the characters. It wasn't a bad book. It was a middle-of-the-road effort for a Harlequin Intrigue title, but a bit below what I know Miller is capable of.
I finished The Prince and loved it. Now I'm moving on to The Uncompromising Lord Flint by Virginia Heath. I like Heath's writing, but this book has a heroine with a sad past, and she seems a lot tougher than I'm use to. It's interesting so far.
I'm in the midst of a dark series by Stylo Fantome: Degradation, Separation, Redemption, Completion. So many triggers - cheating, rape, drugs, so not a rec for everyone. The H is anti-hero, perhaps the most selfish H I've ever read. He's awesome. The h is just a wreck and he created her. I don't usually like books with these triggers but the writing and story has pulled me in and I love their story.
Josie This book sounds good to me. I couldn't tell from the description on Amazon, is this part of a series?
It is, but, according to the author, it's not a structured series. Her books have crossover characters but you don't need to read them in any certain order to understand them. All of her books can definitely be read as stand alones. The h of this book has two brothers and they were the H's in the previous two books. If you are interested those books are The Highlander Who Loved Me and No Other Highlander.
