The Loner by Rhonda Nelson (Blaze Jun 08)

challenge_name: 

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)

challenge_name: 

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)

challenge_name: 

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)

challenge_name: 

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

challenge_name: 

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)

challenge_name: 

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)

challenge_name: 

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

challenge_name: 

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)

challenge_name: 

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!
