Caitlyn's Cowboy by Barbara McMahon

I enjoyed this story of a city girl who inherits a ranch and out of desperation moves to Wyoming with her deaf brother. The hero, Zack, doesn't see himself as long-term material...but of course he discovers the error of his ways!

This is an amnesia story and it starts of with a really gripping opening scene. It totally hooked me and I really enjoyed the whole book.

Mommy and the Millionaire by Crystal Green

An original idea for a mini-series - this book has a flag "The Suds Club" on the cover. The heroine is one of a bunch of women (and one guy) who meet regularly at a laundromat to do their laundry and watch their favorite soap opera (double suds!).

Rescued by the Sheikh, by Barbara McMahon

I really enjoyed this story of a photographer who is rescued from a sandstorm by a sheikh. Despite the fictional country and the larger-than-life sheikh element, the characters felt very real. The hero, Tuareg, was very appealing. Unlike some sheikh books, I could absolutely see this couple living together happily every after.

Twilight, by Stephanie Meyer

Twilight is both startlingly different and a blast from the past. First up, I should say that I don't like vampire stories, they creep me out. But I'd heard so much about this book that I wanted to see what the fuss was about, so I bought it.

The Dearly Departed, by Elinor Lipman

The Desert Bride of Al Zayed, by Tessa Radley

I said in another comment recently that The Bodyguard's Bride was perhaps my favorite Tessa Radley book. I may have been wrong...

Catch of the Day, by Kristan Higgins

I bought this book after Rae recommended it on this blog the other day. It's fantastic! One of the best books I've read in simply ages. I laughed - a lot - and I cried. Lovely characters and beautifully written. I've pre-ordered Ms. Higgins' next book already.
