The Loner by Rhonda Nelson (Blaze Jun 08)
The hero of this story is a Ranger who has a career-ruining training accident in chapter 1 and joins a security force populated by former Rangers. Hmm...what a surprise. I'm reading a story with a special forces hero. That's so unlike me. Oh, no, wait...that's exactly like me! My mistake.
Wild Hunt by Lori Devoti (Nocturne, Jun 08)
I've already raved over and over about Lori's first two books in this miniseries, Unbound and Guardian's Keep. This third installment is just as spectacular. I never thought I'd be interested in a love story between a hellhound and a Valkyrie, but Lori just makes the world so believable that you can't help but be swept up in the emotions, the drama, the love story.
Safe with a Stranger by Linda Conrad (SRS Jun 08)
The hero of this story is a Ranger. He's delicious. Wounded, damaged, but still strong. And yummy! This was an exciting story and I was quite curious about how it was going to end. The Mexican mysticism (for lack of a better word) was an interesting twist in the plot, too. Overall a good one. - Angela
Guardian's Keep by Lori Devoti (Nocturne)
Last year someone who works at Harlequin (I'm not going to mention names) told me that Unbound was one of the best Nocturne's she'd read. With a glowing review like that, I had to read it. I'm so glad I did! And now Lori Devoti decided to make the book into a miniseries, and I couldn't be happier. Guardian's Keep is book 2 in this series and just as amazing!
Last Wolf Watching by Rhyannon Byrd (Nocturne)
I demolished the last of the Bloodrunners trilogy over the May 2-4 long weekend and LOVED it. I admit I was a little hesitant to read it at first because it was Brody's story instead of Cian's (Note to Rhyannon if you're reading this: I REALLY want to read Cian's story!!!!), but that all worked itself out after just a few pages. I now consider it a must-read.
The Kommandant's Girl by Pam Jenoff
So many people on the Internet Team have reviewed this book that I feel like I don't have much to add to the discussion. It was really, really good. Although I had a bit more trouble getting into it than some of the other readers did - could be because I'm not a big fan of WWII stories. But this story is so much more than a WWII story - it's really a character drama. And brilliant.
Indulge Me by Isabel Sharpe (Blaze, May 08)
I decided to indulge myself this weekend and read this fantastic, sexy Blaze by Isabel Sharpe. I'm so glad I did! It was really fantastic. Fast-paced, sizzling hot, and full of emotion. Exacty the kind of read I was hoping for! I give this a hearty two thumbs up. (A.H.)
Forbidden City by Alex Archer (Rogue Angel)
I love the Rogue Angel series. Anyone who loves action and adventure and kick-butt heroines will, too. Of course these books are not romance novels, so I understand if not everyone in the Community loves them. But I sure do!
Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell
This was my first Patricia Cornwell novel, and I was underwhelmed. My mom and some of my friends have raved about her. And of course she's always on bestseller lists. Perhaps I didn't start with the right book? Maybe I should have started earlier in Scarpetta's career? This one was done in 2003.
Blood Ties Book 4: All Souls' Night by Jennifer Armintrout (MIRA)
Anyone who read my top 10 last year knows that I cheated a bit and combined Blood Ties books 2 & 3 into one entry in the top 10 so that I could fit more books on the list. Well, Book 4 could very well make it onto this year's list, although it's facing some stiff competition. But it's got a good shot because it was another great read!
