I recently discovered this author Sharon Sala and I have to say that I am truly enjoying her stories. This is another story that has captured my attention.

Butterfly Kindle Edition by Sharon Sala (Author)

She is one of my favorite authors, and one of my only two autobuy authors.

She's been around for quite awhile and has a huge back list of books. One of my favorite things is to discover a new to me author and have a ton of older books available.

His Favorite Mistake by Aydra Richards

I just finished this one today. (it was a long night Ivy Eloise just wasn't interested in sleep or the lights off or dimmed)
It's a revenge, groveling historical romance. Hero hurts the heroine because her brother hurt his sister, he regrets it when all sorts of truths come out mid book. I enjoyed it, still think that the grovel was not long on page, but you do get his point of view and you know how much he regrets it

SPOILER: Click to show

though not enough to not do what he did or even stop himself when he had ample time to do it, and a friend even told him multiple times not to do it.

I recommend it.

Petteril's Thief

Just finished book 5 - last book in the series by Mary Lancaster. It started well, the titled H has a condition where he cannot remember faces. The h is an orphan and he rescues her from the slums. Their relationship is uneven but he trusts her. Sadly book 5 (last in the series) was my least favourite.

I like this author but this clever H was too cool for me or the heroine. She deserved more, and I found it a rather weak ending to a good (not great) series.

Yes, though I think it sounds like I probably enjoyed the series more than you did, I will admit that the basic premise of the stories become more and more improbable as they go along. You definitely have to suspend disbelief about the Regency conventions! 🤨😏

I started out the month rereading a couple of Connie Mason books. I reread Bold Land, Bold Love and Wild Land, Wild Love. I'm part of a FB group, Vintage Romance: A Group for Bodice Ripper Enthusiasts, where we read books published before 2000. Anyway, she was picked for author of the month. But I don't want to read all her books in a row, so I'm going to read other authors in between. I just finished the latest book by Stacy Reid, In Scandal with the Duke. It's a little bit spicier than her other books, but I didn't mind

I enjoyed the storyline and the spiciness enhanced it.

Now, I'm going back to rereading Connie Mason books. I've chosen to read Flame.

Hi All,

I’m in Toni Anderson’s RS FBI world this week. Started this one today…

Cold Deceit by Toni Anderson (12/22)
[ Cold Justice: Most Wanted - 2]
Audible: Eric G. Dove, Very Good

I bought the audible from Chirp when they had a great sale awhile back and Hoopla has the book, so I’m doing a combo read.

Actually, Hoopla USA has both the book and audible of that entire series, if anyone has access to that via their Library.

Hi there!

Fastlander Fallen
I'm reading T.S. Joyce new series.

I have bought all of the author's shifter series (approx 122 books) and I usually re-read them each annually. They are quirky reads with a lot of 'shifter' angst and great world building. I am impressed how well the plots are linked to previous stories with minimal tedious re-telling the stories of characters history from previous books.

These books are short steamy reads with examples of how 'family' is more than genetics and 'blood'. Although, I must say there is usually a lot of 'bleeding' involved in being a shifter!

I love her Firebears trilogy and have read them many times. I've read a bunch of the others, too, but always come back to the Firebears.

I read Sharon Sala's new release in the Jubilee, Kentucky series Left Behind. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first 3 books, but it was still a solid addition to the ongoing series. There will be one more book coming in January 2025.

I finished a Bristish murder mystery series, DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers and a Scottish murder mystery series, DCI Logan Crime Thrillers. Now I need to look for more romance to read.

I finished Grace Burrowes The Duke's Disaster (related to True Gentlemen) and have started the next title in Cheyenne McCray's Rough & Ready series: Champagne & Chaps (#3). This one's got a bit of challenge, both for a woman reading it & the main characters. She's in her 20's & has just dealt with breast cancer, including breast removal & she's not yet gotten them "rebuilt" yet & yes, I've now sat & thought; even if I'm in my late 60's & they're reaching for the waist, how would I feel if they weren't there at all--they are so much a part of our image of ourselves as women...I just don't know but I think it would be difficult even now! May be a bit depressing reading--but I'm sure this great guy will be great help all around. However, another guy (bad one--these are a bit simplistic!) looks to be setting her up as a drug mule, unbeknownst to her! I do like the characters in Cheyenne's books!
