I actually checked this book out (it was in the sci-fi/fantasy section of the bookstore, not the romance) and put it down cause I was feeling para-fatigued. Crap!

I was just saying I had blogged about the book, chances are others blogged about it too. The next Kresley Cole book in the AHLNO series doesn't come out till April?!?!? *sob!* I'd don't know about y'all, but it's getting harder and harder to find keeper books. I checked out If You Desire. It's a Scottish Historical Romance, right? Not feeling very brogue-y (heh) But a rave reveiw could change my mind.... Now I hafta go check out that Karen Chance book.... ;-) No apology needed, Keishon. I was just saying I had blogged about the book, chances are others blogged about it too.

What was I thinking? I thought it due out this month. And that's a long time from now, too. I started the Karen Chance book last night and couldn't put it down.

I'm waiting until I move in case I end up rebooting the computer from scratch. Lost two e-books that way and I even started one and couldn't read a book at the computer. I know, handheld but, I really do need to eat ;) Jaq - If You Desire by Cole is a historical - I went and bought her backlist after A Hunger Like No Other and like Bam, I can't wait to get the next one. I did buy Playing Easy to Get - an anthology that has a short story by Cole that I think was the introduction to the world from AHLNO. Let's just say, I very, very happy - now I'm saving her other books (including IYD) so I don't overindulge. ;) CindyS Yep, Bam’s review of Bone Deep is probably the first review of an e-book that I thought, ‘damn, I need to get that’.

Anyway, thanks for the rec on Bone Deep. I am anxious to read it. Jaq: was it your blog? {slaps forehead} No wonder I couldn't find it, I was gonna link to it because that's why I bought it in the first place. I'd read it on your blog. Well, I'll read it soon. Hope it's good. I am now cracking open Karen Chance's book, Touch the Dark. Yeah, eating is so overated these days. Anyway, thanks for the rec on Bone Deep. I am anxious to read it.

I have pre-ordered Kresley Cole's next Valkyrie/Vamp book on Amazon and can't wait to get it. It's not coming out till October, though. boo! I have Karen Chance's Touch the Dark on hand, but haven't read it yet because I've been vewwy, vewwy busy with school. Ugh. I'm thinking of getting Bonnie Dee's other book, House Bound (or is it Home Bound), but I'm kinda broke right now, so I think I'll wait till I have some funds. Grr. I hate being poor. :( Hey, Keishon. I have pre-ordered Kresley Cole’s next Valkyrie/Vamp book on Amazon and can’t wait to get it. It’s not coming out till October, though. boo!

That's what convinced me to buy it yesterday (paperback). I've had my nose buried in it off and on since. The author's voice just pulls you in and the story flows nicely. So far, luvin the world building and the characters. In some ways ths book reminds me of Kelly Armstrong's BITTEN (in terms of feeling very fiction-y with romantic subplot, rather than cross-genre romance.) I'm thinking about that book BAM reviewed, but still would like to read a few more reviews. To be honest, I read the excerpt and the authors voice just didn't resonate with me. :-P I blog about Armintrout’s 2 days ago, including the link to an excerpt from the 1rst chapter.

It was added this past week. Thanks for the tip on If You Dare. Will go get that one. No chance that Ms. Chance's book will be a ebook? Armintrout's book is a Mira paperback as well and I remember seeing it in the store and passing on it because I didn't care for the font.
