What Are You Reading?

Speaking of sameness, I've been reading Betty Neels again. Her plots and characters are often interchangeable, but sometimes the formula is what I want. Compared to recent romances, she is really quite dated and not very good. Something about her unique style always draws me back, though. A Betty Neels Christmas

I've always enjoyed re-reading Betty Neels. She's a comfort read for me.

Molly, 
Glad to hear you have a well-deserved break. And now have time to read. I'm reading an anthology "Christmas Kisses:
A Regency Holiday" by Cheryl Bolen etc.: total of 10 short stories. 

Merry Christmas back at ya! 

I've been continuing with the Maximum Security series by Kat Martin; Read The Conspiracy (#1) and the bonus story Wait Until Dark (novella) which it turns out I also have as a stand-alone but happily, only paid 1.99 for it so not so bad. Then I read The Deception (#2) and more novellas: After the Sunrise (at 33 pgs, more like a short story! but only .99) and I've started Come Midnight (novella #3.5).

The real annoyance, even tho' the short stories/novellas are listed as part of the Maximum Security series in Amazon, they're not connected, so you click the series, you get the 4 main books. Thank heavens for Fantastic Fiction's website; helped me track down the rest! Not amazon's fault; more in how the books are listed/information supplied by the publisher or author.

Not sure I'll continue with them at the moment; I've been reading mostly current romantic suspense for a while now & the nasty fellas & sex trafficking in both Kat's & Karen Rose's stories are getting to me. I think I need a historical or two for a while...Maybe a Mary Balogh--altho' they're all rereads...

Update on my reading Bayou Bishops; I am still slightly confused, but then read the word fornicator in the book and I was like... huh?... so I went and looked up the author who is self described as religious, Dom, author and father. I will move on to another book, and read this one slowly because it's not bad but it is confusing at times and the re-reading of pages and paragraphs is not what I am looking for at the moment. I don't know what I want to read next, since I am also reading a true crime book so I need a lighter read, to combat the darker read.

I'm on a reading spree with DI Hillary Greene
These are cosy British police series with a mature female detective. I think she's a fantastic character, likable, clever and quite real. And as I received KU as a Christmas present, all of these books are KU. Love this gift!

Sorry I am just now replying to this. If you are not familiar with this author, he can get very weird very quickly. I love some of his stuff but never recommend him without giving warning. Bayou Bishops is not one of his better series, either.
