Ok, yeah, this is a book forum. But I'm listening to music and want to post some of the songs I'm enjoying right now. And yeah, I probably have way different music tastes than you, these are on the radio now kind of songs for the most part.

If you've ever longed to be on tour with a long-lived, hot stuff rock band, this book is your backstage pass. When sleazy biographer Perry Dillon plans a tell-all book about the British rock band Blacklight, he's setting himself up for the kill, and that's just the beginning of this tale of drugs, sex, rock and roll, and murder. Caution: the language in this book is explicit, vulgar,

This book won the 2008 Romance Writers of Australia Romantic Book of the Year Award (judged by readers), the back cover copy sounded intriguing, and I launched in with high expectations which, unfortunately, led to disappointment.

Back Cover:
Clare was in more than enough trouble
She'd been having difficulty preventing her mother-in-law from exploiting her son Tim's talent as a violin prodigy. Now she was under pressure from maestro David Deverenko.
Yet when David arid his daughter turned up at the New Zealand holiday lodge Clare managed, his concern for Tim seemed to be overlaid by desire for Clare. It was just too much!
Under attack from a totally new direction, Clare had to fend him off. She just couldn't cope with his very public life-style--or his memories.
Spoiler Warning: All my reviews contain spoilers to some degree
Favourite Scene: (wow, I'm surprised to hear these humble words coming out of a HP hero's mouth. I love this attitude, sensitive and understanding... her "comforting" response to his heartfelt worries... is hilarious.)
"I don't account promiscuity a virtue, either," he said smoothly.
"I haven't been with THAT many women, Clare, and I wasn't trying to malign your chastity. I just find it rather daunting, that's all."
"Daunting?" Clare stopped pulling at his impervious hands and stared at him suspiciously.
He held her eyes steadily. "Making love is something you consider very special, so special that only one man has touched you, seen you, though many men must have wanted to. That makes your expectations greater, not less, than a woman of experience. Your lover would have to be special, too - gentle and slow and very sensitive to your needs and responses, willing to withhold his own pleasure until you were lost in yours. He would have to be careful not to rush you, frighten you with his strangeness. He would have to make sure you were in the right frame of mind, and willing not just for the moment, but for the next and next, for all the tentative little steps on the path to ecstasy. I would like to be that man for you, Clare." He smiled crookedly. "The flesh is willing, but the mind is weak. What if I can't make you feel the way you think you should feel? I'm not a man who takes failure lightly. It would shatter me to discover that I had disappointed you... it makes me almost afraid to try... and it makes me as defensively callous as an adolescent..."
"I wouldn't tell you."
Thank-you, Ellen Hartman!!

i "met" Ellen Hartman on here and she is so funny that I just had to pick up one of her books. I was not at all disappointed with "Wanted Man"--very unique storyline and characters that really pulled me in!

DRY CREEK SWEETHEARTS [Harlequin 25]
Book Review created by Hope Chastain on April 20th, 2008, 9:05pm
challenge_name:
Linda Morgan gave up a long time ago on her high school boyfriend Duane "Jazz" Enger, who left to follow his dream of being a musician in an earlier Dry Creek book. No one else has taken her heart, though, and Linda has decided she will probably just grow old all alone. The last thing she expects is for Duane to show up in town in a driving rainstorm, getting his tour bus well and thoroughly stuck in the mud of his deceased aunt's driveway. Until he came back, she had convinced herself she was over him. Now what is she going to do?
