Thank you to the many of you who dropped by at Romance By The Blog and participated in the guestblog! It was fun...lots of sighing over the Bad Boy ;-).
I'm still trying to catch up with email and work, so please excuse the tardiness if you emailed me the last ten days and still haven't heard back. I really appreciate all the feedback you've been sending me about my new series. AND it's good to know you find the hero sexy ;-). And bad. Bad is important, yes?
While I try to get back to roofing, why don't you tell me what you're reading these days?
I picked up Mario Acevedo's X-RATED BLOOD SUCKERS at the CRW Conference. Isn't that an intriguing title?! He told me it's not exactly a romance but I was totally taken in by the title ;-P.
I loved La Linda Howard's newest Silhouette, INFERNO. It was really good, with the kind of Alpha Hero that she used to write. There is a controversial scene in it that everyone is calling "mind-rape." I didn't find it so, and I have a feeling that the term is used because the heroine herself accused the hero of "mind-rape." Which, being an Alpha, he denied, of course.
It was a bit too short but it's a categorical, so within its limits, I think La Linda did an excellent job setting up the background and universe as well as weave a romance through it. It's too bad categories have been cut back another 5,000-10,000 words. It's been a while since La Linda's last category for Silhouette, so I'm sure this new shorter length affected the story-telling in the editing stage. That said, the heroine was strong and certainly was a good match to the King of the Raintrees.
Has any of you read INFERNO?
Any other hot books in your hands right now?
