Finished Robyn Carr's Forbidden Falls and Madeline Hunter's Ravishing in Red over the weekend, and loved them both. Not sure what I'll read next.

I really liked the H/H in Forbidden Falls, Manda. Carr creates great characters.
I read two extraordinary books last week, both women's fiction: (1) an ARC of The Goddess of Fried Okra by Jean Brashear, which has some wonderfully eccentric characters, a theme of female empowerment, and a genuine Southern lit feel; (2) Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah, which I think may be her best work. (It starts slowly and conventionally, but as the mother's story, disguised as a Russian fairy tale, unfolds, it becomes this powerful, emotional story of suffering and survival.)_________________ Let me walk through the fields of paper

I've been a bad reader in that I haven't really been reading as much lately, nor have I been finishing books. Sigh.
I think I might read the new Larissa Ione book, but I don't know. |

Me too, Janga! I had my doubts that she could make a preacher sexy, but she sure proved me wrong:) Which just goes to show that there IS room in mainstream romancelandia for religious characters that don't follow the inspirational romance guidelines._________________ "I'm a man," he said..."I can do one or the other.

I really liked Forbidden Falls a lot--not just the H/H but also the plot.
SHe's one of those writers who can really create a very specific place and time (in contemps I think that's also true of Higgans and Crusie).
I'm about to read To Tempt a Saint.
Just finished Lessons in French. A lovely lovely book, --it took me a long time to finish it just because I ws savoring it, didn't want it to be done. In a funny way it felt like Austen's Persuasion to me--the heroine's sense of being undesirable, unmloved, and live having passed her by--its very poignant. It makes the HEA even more special...
And another book with a wonderful mother (this time the hero's.)

| I finished reading Hush,Hush last Thursday and started Practice Makes Perfect by Julie James. I am 40 pages away from the end and I am loving it. The book is really funny.

| I just finished Promise Me Tonight by Sara Lindsey. Not sure what I'm going to start next. I can't decide if I'm in the mood for historical or contemporary....

| Reading To Tempt a Saint. So far I really like it, but I think she needs to get legal advice from Courtney. Nothing a minor signed would be binding so the heroine could have gone to court to get her money back; and the uncle couldn't modify the terms of the trust.
