What Are You Reading?

Listening to The Physician's Daughter by Martha Conway which is set just after the end of the American Civil War. Vita wants to be a doctor but has no support from her father, this was the plan for his son who died during the war. Instead he is trying to marry her off and is offering a very large dowry to entice suitors. Vita comes up with a plan with her betrothed, neither are interested in marriage but both need the money so agree on a marriage of convenience. While the narrator is not the best it is an intriguing listen so far and am curious to see how the story progresses.

Hi All,

I’m listening to Julia Whelan as she does a fine job with The Guardian Trilogy by Karen Robards. The first two books end on a Cliffhanger and the last left me hoping for more books to come, as I recall. It’s a lot of Action Adventure, CIA, Interpol, Father-Daughter Dynamics, Assassins on the Hunt, and Romance Out of the Blue. If you decide to try it, check with your Library and be sure you have all of them in hand before you start.

1. The Ultimatum (6/17)
2. The Moscow Deception (6/18)
3. The Fifth Doctrine (3/19)

Don’t forget... CLIFFHANGERS!!!

I decided to read The Angel by Carla Neggers. I haven't actually started it yet, but will later tonight. The blurb caught my interest.

Yep, that's what often happens with me; can't decide a new title to open, so head back into the rereads...and enjoy them!

I read a couple new to me authors and a brand new book from a semi new to me author so far this week.  I started off with a brand new author.  I read Night Secrets by Kat Martin.  I really enjoyed the book.  I'm definitely going to try out some more from her.

Next I read The Temptation of a Highlander by Elisa Braden.  This book was excellent.  I only started reading her a couple months ago but, with the exception of one book, have absolutely enjoyed what I've read from her.  I'm looking forward to whatever comes next.

The last book was by another new to me author.  I read Savage Storm by Phoebe Conn.  I didn't like this book at all.  It's 500 pages I'll never get back.  The h was so horrible.  I have no idea why the H even loved her.  I knew I should have stopped reading after she backhanded him in the face.  But by that point the book was nearly done, so I slugged my way through.  I won't be picking anything up by this author again.  

Now I want to reread an old favorite to get the bad taste that this book left me with.  I just have no idea what that'll be yet.

I finished reading T. Kingfisher's Paladin's Grace which I thoroughly enjoyed.  Steven and Grace are both such interesting characters with difficult pasts.  It was great to see them stronger together.  There are also other broken paladins that will no doubt be interesting to read about in future books plus an overarching mystery still to solve.  I don't really need another good mystery series to get caught up in, but too late.
