Yet another case of I'm so terribly embarrassed to read these in public (ugh those covers) but the stories are so delightful, funny, and gosh darn sexy I can't help but love it. Jill Shalvis can certainly write, so why can't her publisher put a bit more effort into the covers? Eating this series up book by book.

Maddie and her two 1/2 sisters inherit a ramshackle and worn down B&B in small town Lucky Harbor. The contractor (and also Mayor) she hires to rehab the joint is super hot...

I'm a sucker for this damn author. Shit. :)

Holy hot naked best friends Batman. God the chemistry between these two is just gah blkajklf. BUT my only quibble was the way the "fake relationship" sparked it off. Love Shalvis. I'm on a total binge and I love every guilty pleasure laden minute of it. xoxo.

Holy mother, pants afire for this one. Talk about delayed gratification with a huge payoff. TJ and Harley have smokin' chemistry, and I love their dance around each other since high school.

I have fun reading Nora Roberts books, and this one was no exception. A bit overlong with some repetition, I still thoroughly enjoyed Shelby's story of coming back from a horrible marriage filled with lies. I especially loved the ending

Spoiler

because Shelby saves her own darn self before her guy can come do it for her (he is on his way though)

. Perfect type of book for reading while keeping one eye on three year old.

I basically (and secretly) adore this series, and Parker Brown is my fav. She's got it together, she runs a kick ass business, and she finally meets her match in hot mechanic Malcolm. Too fun.

Meh. I got really tired of the constant drama based on lies, misperception, and lack of standing up for oneself. The story just lagged along and I didn't really care either way how it would end up.

Steamy set of holiday inspired contemporary romances. I enjoyed that the holidays were not the focus of any of the stories (more the cold climates) and that each couple had a history prior to starting a sexual relationship. No first time loves here. Shalvis never disappoints.

Sexy mountain man meets up tight big city doctor who grows to love both the mountain village and the man. Great Shalvis fair.

Gruen's latest, set in WWII era Scotland, is predictable and often unbelievable, but hot damn I did enjoy reading it. Her prose is beautiful, the Scottish setting hit all the right notes for my current state of mind (post-Scotland holiday depression), and I ended up caring about poor little Maddie and wanted her to get her happy. Go girl. Oh yeah, and there may or may not be a Loch Ness monster. Just saying.
