i'm in - i'm an A and will be reading Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor

I'm a C and not sure what I will read yet.

I'm an A and I will read

I am a C and will read Mine Till Midnight.

I'm in! I'm an A and I don't know what I'll be reading yet :)

I'm in- I am an A and I think I will read the novella I Will from Wish List.

I haven't done any challenges around here in a while! I think I will jump in on this one! :)

Believe it or not I am a C- just haven't gotten around to trying any of her stuff yet.

I am going to read Where Passion Leads her very first one! I picked this up for 50 cents at my library if you can believe it! This is a good excuse to read it :)

I would totally keep a hold of that book - i think it is one of the ones that goes for a ridiculous amount on ebay if you try to sell - like stormfire by christine monson

I will go in for this challenge. I am a C, never read her before, and will be reading Mine Till Midnight.

I'm an A and I already planned to read A Wallflower Christmas so I'll stick with that for now.

Right now, I'm a C. I haven't read any of her stuff but I won the book contest for 'Christmas Eve at Friday Harbour' and my book arrived in the mail today. I plan to start it on Wednesday, since I have four more books to read before the end of the month, for November challenges. I can't wait to start reading it. Yeah! Thanks Goodreads!

I am A..... I plan to read Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor

I'm in for this one. I'm an A and am going to read Married by Morning.

I am an A, and am ready for any excuse to read her again. Just don't know what that is going to be right now. I will get back to you on that one.

I'm in. I am definitely an A. I will read A Wallflower Christmas.

I'm definitely in. I'm definitely an A. I'll read either Midnight Angel or Stranger in My Arms.

Definitely an A, and definitely reading Devil in Winter and hopefully Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor

Yes, yes, yes! I'm in and I'm a big, fat A.

I'm in! B.

I'm an A, have read her Travises (contemporary) series. I'll be reading Secrets of a Summer Night, which i think is the beginning of her most popular series.

I'm an A and will read Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor and A Wallflower Christmas

I'm an A too. I will read Blue-Eyed Devil.

I'm an A. As usual I'll be getting whatever I can find at the library.

Yep! Why not. I'm in. I'm a C. I'll be reading It Happened One Autumn

I'm a B. I recently finished Sugar Daddy and liked it so, I think I'll go with Blue-Eyed Devil.

C - Totally new to this author. Will see how I like it.

Will read:

I'm in,I'm a C and have no idea where to start. Where can I see a list of books?

I'm in! I'm a B. I've only read eight of her books so I have plenty left to choose from. I'll see what my library has available and post the title later.

FYI, on her Facebook fan page she is having a contest to give away a copy of Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor.

I'm in. I'm an A and I'll be reading A Wallflower Christmas.

I'm a C, and will try

I am an A and I will read It Happened One Autumn. Good choice, Yz!

I went to Fantastic Fiction to get a list of her books. Here is the link if you want to check it out..
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/k/l...

Thank you so much for the link. I'll try it today.:)

I'm a B and I will read Then Came You or Secrets of a Summer Night, depending on what comes in from the library first

Woo Hoo! I already had Lisa Kleypas on the list for December, so definitely count me in.

I'm an A, and I'll be reading A Wallflower Christmas.

I'm a C and I'll be reading Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor

Ohhh I'm an A. I haven't decided what I'll be reading yet though, if that's alright. Maybe
Someone to Watch Over Me or Again The Magic.

I highly recommend the wallflowers series - starts with Secrets of Summer Night (although book 2 is better than book 1 IMHO)

I second this.

I'm in. I've only read one other book (this month: Secrets of a Summer Night) - I guess I'm an A 'cos I wanted to read the next book...!!

Just have to decide if I'll read It Happened One Autumn or Christmas Eve at Friday Harbour ('cos it fits the Xmas scenario in the "Let's Celebrate it" challenge)...

So excited! I'm an A, and I will read Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor.

Christmas Eve is also on the list of best christmas romances if you are doing the category challenge!

SOLD! Thanks Dee... :)

I'm an A!!

I'll be reading A Wallflower Christmas.

I'm a C. I did add some of her books to my TBR pile since I've heard awesome things about her. I will have to decide which book to read....

anyone notice how all of Kleypas' historical romances are tied to one another?

I am an A. I will be reading 'I Will' from 'A Historical Christmas Present'. I am also reading 'Christmas Eve in Friday Harbor'.

I'm a B. Book TBA.
