It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? #73
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment, and er… add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye’s Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!
What Did I Read This Last Week?
Sweet Dreams by Kristen Ashley
Started a little rocky, forgive my pun, but the depth to the characters and their way of making each other stronger and happier won me over.
Beyond the Rules by Anna Del Mar
The polyamory romance was iffy, but the suspense and working relationships were stellar.
Waking the Dead by Stacey Rourke, Narrated by Brenda Scott Wlazlo
#1 Journals of Octavia Hollows
A Necromancer with attitude about her past finds herself helping a family plighted with a deadly curse. Good start to series!
The Art of Theft by Sherry Thomas
Charlotte and the gang become art thieves in France to help a friend of Mrs. Hudson’s. Good caper!
Whisper of Bones by Melinda Leigh, Narrated by Christine Williams
Victim everyone disliked and a surprise revelation for the cold case of their friend had me eager to be with Tessa and Cate on the case once again.
Bred in the Bone by Kendra Elliot, narrated by Christine Williams
Shocking events and just the excitement I needed.
Death Beside the Seaside by TE Kinsey
#6 Lady Hardcastle Mystery
Emily and Flo are needed to investigate a spy caper murder on their holiday. A little over the top from the usual, but still fun times.
The Avenger: Thomas Bennet and a Father’s Lament by Don Jacobson, Narrated by Amanda Berry
Dug deep into the feels and faced a devilish enemy. Enjoyed this one so much.
The Bodies in the Library by Marty Wingate, Narrated by Fiona Hardingham
The set up was what drew me in, but the characters and story were meh for me.
#5 Dakonian Mail Order Brides
Kord is a sweetie who has to work hard to convince his human mate they will work. Barb has struggled with her childhood as the kid of two alcoholics and has to conquer it to have happiness. Quick and engaging story.
Simply Magic by Mary Balogh
Mixed bag. Loved the sweet beta hero making good, but got frustrated with the heroine who just could not get out of her own way.
When Jane Got Angry by Victoria Kincaid, Narrated by Stevie Zimmerman
Fun variation on P&P with the focus on a fiercer Jane Bennet and Bingley.
Save Your Breath by Melinda Leigh, Narrated by Cris Dukehart
Amazing suspense with Lincoln and Olivia at the center. Thrilling ending with lots of good twists to get there.
Lake Silence by Anne Bishop
#6 The Others #1 World of the Others
The Sinner by Amanda Stevens
