Romance Lovers for the Challenge-Impaired discussion

Is anyone familiar with Geralyn Dawson's Bad Luck Bride series?

i've not read those ones, but I have read some of her romantic suspense books. And I read a novella or two from anthologies that were historicals. She's actually a local author so I've met her many times and we're friendly. She rarely does book signings because they make her dreadfully nervous (she's always afraid no one will show up. As if.) so on the rare occasions she does do them, I try to show up and hang out for a while with her to make her feel better and show suppoert, even if I already have the book signed.

And just FYI too, she's now writing under the name Emily March and her first book under that name just came out last week. These books are still classified as romance, but as I understand it, they are more along the lines of a Debbie Macomber type romance, that borders on Women's fiction.

She's coming to our book club meeting in April since we're discussing her book then.

Wow! Thanks for sharing Kelley. It's always nice to learn a little bit about the author as a person, you know? I'm even more excited to read her Bad Luck Bride series now. I'll have to look for the Emily March book. Gosh! I wish there were some local authors in my community, LOL!

Yes, thanks for sharing Kelley. I checked out and it looks pretty good. Marked it as TBR.

She's a great lady. Very very nice and a little wild/crazy. And she's a die hard college football fan.

I hope you like the Emily March book if you read it Michelle and LisaKay. I just bought the book this week so havne't started it yet. I got the audio of it from Audible as well so I may end up reading it that way instead.

I checked my library and they have it on order.

Wow, they have it on audio. Maybe I'll make a trip there tomorrow. Thanks.

My mistake, they have it on order and someone already has a hold on it. But not ...maybe I'll reserved that instead. Both audio CDs.

they are releaseing the three Emily MArch books back to back I'm pretty sure. So the next two months should have the next to books, if I'm remembering correctly.

Yep. The third one is which my library has only ordered as a book, no CD.

I was very bad at the bookstore today, so I am now looking at the library. :)

LOL LisaKay! I hear you on that! I've been using the library a lot more often lately. I've used it for a lot of audios since I got hooked on that format. But now that my library has finally started doing downloadable eBooks in addition to downloadable audio, I've been getting books that way as well and reading on my Nook or Kobo Readers.

I haven't heard of a Kobo Readers...do you like it?

Out of all three eReaders I have, the Kobo has the least features and does the least. But it is also the cheapest one out there right now (Borders just dropped the price to $99.99 about a month ago). However, I actually like it quite a bit. It's not perfect, and doing all the searches and such with only the 4 way button is a little frustrating, but it's a great deal for the money.

I got it because 9 times out of 10 my electronic review galleys and library books don't work properly on my Nook. SO I got teh Kobo primarily for that. And I've had zero problems with my review books or library books since I got it so I'm a happy camper.

Thanks for the info Kelley. I see it is also sold at Wal-mart. I will have to talk to my libraian.

I'll probably check Wal-mart for . I'll also behave myself and check the library too. I love stories involving animals and second chances, so this one seems like a good one.

Yeah, she a vet, so it's sure to have a dog in it. Right?
