I just finished Too Dark to Sleep by Dianne Gallagher. It is a thriller and wow. You can check out my review. It is a different main character and rather dark but really well written. I highly recommend it.
Thanks for the recommendation. When I first looked at it I read Diana Gabaldon, and I thought when did she write another book? I thought I had read all of hers. I have not, however read Dianne Gallagher.
Hi Maggie, is this a romance or just a thriller?
I am going to suggest Captured Lies by Maggie Thom. It is a suspense, thriller. Really worth the effort to read it.

If you love PRN books (Vamp) I highly recommend J.R. Ward Black Dagger Brotherhood Series or Jeaniene Frost Night Huntress Series
Thanks DorseyI recommend Lingerie Wars by Janet Elizabeth Henderson. If you want a good laugh you will really want to read this one. I haven't finished it yet, but I CANNOT put it down.
If you like PNR with humor and (a lot) of steam, just about anything by DanaMarie Bell works. I particularly like the Gray Court, and I'm not a fan of stories about the the fae.
And for something really different in PNR, there's
.
I just finished Robyn Carr's latest, and I think it may be, of her books I've read, her best. I've read all of her Virgin River and a couple of her others, but this second one in her Thunder Point series is filled with believable characters who face very "real" problems.
I just finished
. by Janet Elizabeth Henderson. What a HOOT!!
I finished Tainted Waters, by our Maggie Thom. A really good read. The beginning of the book skips around a bunch, but at least for me, when I was getting frustrated it all started coming together and WHAT A GOOD BOOK!
Thanks to Dorsey, Jazz, and a few others I have started reading the Brotherhood of the Dagger series by JR Ward. It is really great!

There is a lot going on but it does all come together by the end of the story. I appreciate your reading it. :)
Since reading Amazing...Bird Tales I was wondering if any of you can point me in the direction of other animal stories. This type of story really lifts my spirit.
DeeDid you ever go to Amazon and type in Animal Stories on their search engine,I`d like to do that but I`m always afraid I`ll get a really sad one.I can`t watch much of Animal Planet because I can`t stand seeing animals hurt and they have to many with that for my taste.
Thanks Kathy Anne, That is a good idea, no I never thought about it. I think if I look at the synopsis you can get an idea if they are sad or not. I also can't stand sad endings.
I recommend
for some good romantic-suspense!
Serenity this book sounds like one I would really like but it is in the Kindle edition and I can`t use one right now so I will have to wait but if anyone sees it come out in PB let me know,OK.
Kathy Anne, it is in Paper back as well, and is available on Amazon :)
I just finished a fantastic romantic-suspense book.
My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...I highly recommend it.
SerenityThanks for the Amazon tip,I just looked it up on there yesterday but missed that it was in PB also,I`ll go there now and order it.
A lady at my work was reading your post and she also had read it and agreed with you that it is really good,can`t wait haven`t really read anything real good in a long time.
AnitaThanks for posting another good book,I will order this too and read my brains out I`ll be so happy to get something good for a change.
Kathy Anne, you're most welcome and I would like to thank you as well. Hope you enjoy it!
I also ordered A Sudden Light,it`s about a couple on the verge of divorce who have lost all their money and try to get Grampa to sell the huge family estate so he & his sister can start over but Gramps and the ghosts who occupy it with him say NOT.I love Ghost stories and this one does have some humor too
Kathy Anne, that sounds very interesting. I will definitely check it out. Thanks for letting us know!

Untrue Colors was a really good book. Unfortunately, not all the ARC's are good. The last one I read was bad. Really, really bad. His Last Redemption My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I love the idea of A Sudden Light I will have to check it out. and I have to remember NOT to look for His Last Redemption, I love this thread. It really helps us find good books and to avoid bad ones.
I know Dee is a fan of Anne Stuart. I just finished her latest book
. It is a continuation of her Ice series. If you have never read any of her books, don't worry, it works very well as a standalone.My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Thanks Anita. I do love her Ice Series. Originally, I thought the Ice series was a trilogy, but I guess not. I know I read the first three. I will look for that one. I just bought Cat's Lair
. I am looking forward to that book.
Anita wrote: "I know Dee is a fan of Anne Stuart. I just finished her latest book . It is a continuation of her Ice series. If you have never read any of her..."It's actually a spin off series to her "Ice" Series. This is the first book in the "Fire" series. Great start to the series, can't wait for more!!
Yeah, you are correct. I misspoke, the Fire series is more spin off than a continuation. Great books with imperfect anti-heros. I really like her books.
I can't wait to read the fire series. I really do like her.
Anita wrote: "Yeah, you are correct. I misspoke, the Fire series is more spin off than a continuation. Great books with imperfect anti-heros. I really like her books."I do too, her hero's are a guilty pleasure!!
Even Anne Stuart's older works have the imperfect anti-heros. I personally love them. I just finished an oldie of hers that has been re-issued. The Houseparty
is a Regency spy story with her sarcastic wit.
I just finished the first installment Dangerous Games
by Tess Diamond. Great writing and riveting plot.My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Really liked: Blue Hollow Falls. It is the first in Donna Kauffman's new series. Setting: rural West Virginia & a bit of DC. Sawyer is the retired Special Forces hero and Sunny works for the US Botanical Gardens and is a thoughtful heroine. The secondary characters are excellent.
That sounds good...will put it on my list.

My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Love this series. It is one of the best Lori Foster has ever written.
Anita wrote: "I got lucky and got The Woman Who Couldn't Scream as an ARC. Can't wait to read it."Woo hoo! Lucky you, Anita :)
Hope its going to be another good addition to the Virtue Falls series.
It's been a fantastic reading week for me!
