Donna Alward- Hired by the Cowboy. A harelquin romance, which means No sex. But, it’s set in Canada, so that’s cool. Alex is single but pregnant, cowboy(!) Conner needs to get married to get his trust fun to save the family farm. Marriage will save everything. Or will it? Can they stick to their orginal agreement? This one is going on my shelf.
Cara Colter- The Prince and the Nanny. These Harelquin romance hit all the fantasies. He’s a prince of some obscure Irish island and he needs a nanny for his two young, motherless children. And she’s an outspoken nanny who gets some press for putting herself slightly in harms way but saving her charge. And then she finds son and father not bonding and forces them to together. How can they resist each other? Sweet, but I’m not the prince fantasy type of girl.
Amy Knupp- The Boy Next Door. Harelquin Super Romance and another of those bad boy, good girl neighbour things. and another of those she used to watch him at night (this time in his workshop, not his bedroom). And they are brought together by his nephew who is living with his ailing grandmother (the hero’s not the nephew), and she’s a social worker. Is she just dragging up the old fued between their families or is it the attraction come again 12 years later that’s so frustrating? Bad boy, love it!
Liz Fielding- The Secret Life of Lady Gabriella. She pretends to be a titled Lady with three kids for a magazine job, while being inspired by the house she’s sitting. So, when the owner returns unexpectedly she fears losing her inspriation she desperatly needs. He brugudingly says she can stay, since he’s likely to flit off again. Until they hit it off. It was sweet, but lacked conflict, imho. most of it centered around her drawing and dead husband.
Jessica Hart- Barefoot Bride. HQ romance again. She’s been look for stability. He likes to flit around the world as a biologist or something. So they broke up, a few times. But, now she’s out of work and dumped, so she goes to visit her friends on a tropical island, only to run into him again. Still gorgeous as ever, but now with a motherless child in tow. She can feel for this poor kid, being dragged around in instability. But, she agrees to nanny for him anyway. Of course, things don’t stay platonic. SO when her dream job is offered to her in London will she leave him again and take it? Or will she finally throw caution to the wind?
Jennifer Crusie- Anyone But You. I love Jenny Crusie. It doens’t matter what she writes. In this one Nina is recently divorced and wants a puppy. Instead she gets Fred- and overweight, slightly depressed basset hound. But he does bring about the cute decade younger ER doctor from downstairs around. He’s sexy as hell, doesn’t want kids, but he’s 10 years younger! Way too young for her of course.
J.D. Robb- Ceremony in Death. This is the fourth of the series. I started reading it after a letter from a suvivor of sexual abuse posted anon on the Smart Bitches website, talked about the Main Character, Eve Dallas’s recovery efforts. This one was about evil, and black vs white magic. They seem to wrap up rather cleanly with the two main characters, Dallas and her husband, sexy Irish and very rich, Roarke, kicking the bad guys’ asses and walking away. I like the books, it’s been a very interesting read so far. I have to see if the library ahas the next one. This one had to come via Bookmooch. Since Zemanta likes to give me links, you can read the letter at this link, here. This one seeit? I <3 Nora Robberts. She’s like my hero. Srsly.
Meg Cabot- Every Boy’s Got One. This was a strange format. Written not in first or third person, but from the view point of personal journals, and emails between the two main main characters, the two secondary characters and their ensuing families. Jane Harris is a cartoonist of WonderCat based on her crazy cat at home. Her best friend is eloping to the Italian Riveria with her long time boyfriend, who brings his best friend also. Cal Langdon is a stuck up journalist (in Jane’s opinion) who has just written a book on Saudia Arabia oil. It’s pretty much hate at first site. And even more annoying when she’s all for the wedding and he’s against long term love. Very funny book. I love Meg Cabot. Definatly going to get some more of hers.
So that brings my total count to: 18. Seems too small, but move on we will. After I figure out which books are mine and which are the librarlys.
