Silhouette Dreamscapes and Bombshell ... extras (UPDATED)
by kalyko on November 6th, 2009, 3:01pm 6 comments
Last week we had new carpet installed in our basement and in one room on the main floor. Of course we had to clear out all the space and that's left me with a ton of work. BTW that's pretty much where I've been the last couple of weeks: going through everything we had to move, before we put it back. Because no way, no how am I just returning everything higgeldy-piggeldy. So far I'm gotten rid of a number of boxes of old VHS tapes, a lot of books and just a whole whack of junk... you know how it is, right?
Anyway, my computer / book room is now in the process of being... well, processed and I've come to a decision to get rid of books that I'm not going to read or re-read. I've got a number of Silhouette books from the Shadows, Bombshell and a Dreamscapes imprints and would love to offer them to fellow book-lovers. The books are free, the only thing I'm asking for is the cost of shipping. Even from Canada one book shouldn't cost all the much ~ I'm guessing somewhere in the vicinity of $2.00.
292. Conquest by S.J. Frost ~ stellar coming of age and m/m romance
5 hearts ~ I chanced upon this story during one of Ethan Day's monthly chats wherein authors are welcome to post excerpts of books awaiting release, new releases or just a book that they want to promote. One of the excerpts posted was by an author that I hadn't heard of, but boy did it grab my attention. So of course I got CONQUEST when it was released and I enjoyed every last bit of it.

291. Windows in Time by M. Jules Aedin ... Ghost story, murder mystery & spell-binding romance
5 stars ~ This book has, to my embarrassment, been sitting in my TBR for a couple, or perhaps even more, months. And now I'm kicking myself because this story is out-and-out fabulous and a book that I would have already re-read.

290. Jaguar Night by Doranna Durgin ... Sentinels
4 stars ~ I got a taste of Doranna Durgin's Sentinels series with the release of the Nocturne Bite WILD THING. I was very intrigued; a series about shapeshifters but their enemy is human... mostly. The Atrum Core is the flip side of the Sentinel coin and the history between the two groups goes back to ancient Roman times.

And of course, right now, I have to run off again. *sigh* But I promise, now that I've added a couple of belated reviews ~ and I still have a few to come ~ I'll be hanging around, getting into trouble, being nosy... you know all that good stuff!
289. The Laundry Hag by Jennifer L. Hart ... Funny, suspenseful, good mystery.. what's not to love?
4.5 hearts ~ I read this story just over a year ago but I got word that Jenn has, in the works, The Laundry Hag 2. I just had to revisit Maggie and the insanity that is her life. And I'm eagerly awaiting the next story... soon, very, very soon, I hope!

288. Smart Alex by AKM Miles ... Love it!
4.5 hearts ~ AKM Miles is a new-to-me author whom I chanced upon through a couple of groups where I lurk a bit. When discussion of a number of her books arose, me being the curious and book-addict that I am, I did some looking around. SMART ALEX is an amazing story and it definitely set me upon the trail of her other books.

287. Love & Loyalty by Tere Michaels ... Another fantastic m/m romance with a lot of heart
5+ hearts ~ This story did something I thought was impossible.... I actually think that it's an even better story than Faith & Fidelity, and that story is still among my top favourites. Just goes to show how wonderful an author is Tere Michaels.

286. As You Are by Ethan Day ... Awesome Romantic Comedy!
5 hearts ~ I admit it... I gobbled this book down and I'd sit and do it all over again right this minute. Truly!
