With time running out, Jay offers to act as a human guinea pig, injecting himself with the libido suppressant. Laura's role requires lingerie, soft music and candlelight. Her job is to entice him, to determine if the suppressant tamps down his desires.

A Tale of Two Sue's

A few weeks back I went on a Sue glom (like Devon well at least in the case of one sue.). The Sue's being Suzanne Brockmann and Susan Elizabeth Phillips . My first Brockmann read was: Letters to Kelly LtK summary Either Way He Was A Condemned Man. So here I sit, writing letters that have no hope of reaching you until I am free to deliver them myself. With luck, that will be soon. For your eighteenth birthday is coming, and I intend to be there, like I promised . . . For years, a trumped-up charge -- and a Central American prison cell -- kept Jax Winchester from claiming the girl he loved. Now he was a free man. Or was he? For only the memory of Kelly O'Brien -- and the letters he'd composed to her -- had kept him going. But once he was released, he knew he was still a prisoner -- in a jail of his own making. The way out this time? Keep that promise he'd made to Kelly all those years ago -- and claim her for his own . . . I am a sucker for this type of story. No clue why... maybe it is because I have always had a thing for older men. And since I have no kids I don't get that OMG WHAT IF THAT WAS MY DAUGHTER squick. To be honest even if I did have kids I don't think I would have that squick. I loved how the story kept going back to his letters to Kelly. It is a touch over the top at times, as most of Brockmann's Harl's are in parts. But well worth the read. I loved it and wanted more do I moved on to: Tall, Dark and Dangerous Taylor's Temptation A- prolly my fave of the bunch Night Watch B+ I liked this for the most part but I could never get a handle on how tall Wes was. And omg the swearing was horrid. Really this is an issue in all of them. Harlequin so needs to get over its problem with the word fuck. The Admiral's Bride B- I liked it but really I kept forgetting how old the admiral was. Get Lucky B- I loved lucky even though he was a cocky asshole. hmmm might be why I liked him *g* It Came Upon a Midnight Clear D Least face book so far... Hawk annoyed me. Harvard's Education B+ Great book! Harvard is one of my favorite heroes in the series, hands down. And brockmann does a pretty believable virgin contemp heroine. Prince Joe C I think this suffered from expecting it to be great, grand and wonderful. It didn't leave up to all I had heard about it. Everyday, Average Jones C I liked this story and liked the characters. But the whole camping in the tent thing went on far too long. and I still have: Forever Blue (1997) Frisco's Kid (1997) Identity, Unknown (1999) Over all I really enjoyed the series. They are Harlequin at its best. But I swear there were a few times I wanted to toss the monitor because of the pretendcussing. Really people that can't read cussing should stay away from romance novels with military heroes or cops. Hell they should go read that Debbie chick. In between I took a break and read: Heartthrob LOVE this book... so feeds into my jackiecollins/judithkrantz loves of yesteryear. Yes it is a hollywood book, yes it does scream 80s glitz and glam. But I loved it anyway. Yes it is over the top in parts but le sigh... it was grand. Summary NO WOMAN COULD RESIST HIM . . . Once voted the "Sexiest Man Alive," Jericho Beaumont had dominated the box office before his fall from grace. Now poised for a comeback, he wants the role of Laramie bad enough to sign an outrageous contract with top producer Kate O'Laughlin-one that gives her the authority to supervise JB's every move, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. ESPECIALLY THE ONE WITH THE MOST AT STAKE . . . The last thing Kate wants to do is baby-sit her leading man, and Jericho Beaumont may be more than she can handle. A player in every sense of the word, he is an actor of incredible talent-and a man with a darkly haunted past. Despite her better judgment, Kate's attraction flares into explosive passion, and she is falling fast. But is she being charmed by the real Jericho or the superstar who dazzles the world? I have to admit I have a deep lurve for Susan Elizabeth Phillips since figuring out she wrote Glitter Baby. I think it was Holly that said I must read Nobody's Baby But Mine or was it Dream a Little Dream... hmmm. Anyway she said to start with It Had to Be You cuz I should read them in order. Oddly enough I did read it first... but I have to say I don't get it. What is it about SEP? I mean she has cute quirky characters and an interesting voice. But the plots are beyond believable. No matter I still found myself smiling along at times and really enjoyed a couple of them. As I was rolling my eyes and going 'sure, fine, whatever'. It Had to Be You C The bimbo with a brain shows them all.... Nobody's Baby But Mine B I really liked Jane and Cal, otherwise I would have hated this story. I mean really a football player who fucked around with groupies forgetting to wear a condom with a chick he thinks is a whore? sssssssuuuuurrrrrreeeee Loved the parents story and the granny. But the standoff at the end takes too long. Dream a Little Dream C- just ok This Heart of Mine A I would give this an A+ if it wasn't for Phobe and Dan. I just wanted them to shut up and go away. This was by far my favorite book of the series (although I have one left to read) and I think it is because I don't expect these to be grounded in reality at all. The scene here "I was available?" The air crackled. "Let's think about this. Let's think about what this would be called if the situation was reversed?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "What would this situation be called, for example, if I'd decided to crawl in bed with you—a nonconsenting female!" "It's—" Her fingers fidgeted with the skirt of her nightgown. "Uh, yes, I see what you mean." His eyes narrowed, and his voice grew low and dangerous. "It would be called rape." "You're not seriously trying to say that I—I raped you?" He regarded her coldly. "Yeah, I think I am." is completely true... it was rape. It was wrong. But for whatever reason, I still enjoyed the story. That should bother me. And I adored Daphne and Benny I think I will go on to read Heaven Texas, Match Me If You Can and Natural Born Charmer (in paperback or ebook)but the other books by SEP.... eh don't really grab me. Anyone have another they would rec? So that is two more off the list... now if I could just get to Nora Roberts *g*

Yes, I did get more than one....

hee you knew that didn't you *g* Beside The Windflower, I also picked up: Love's A Stage by Laura London Escapade by Susan Kyle (aka Diana Palmer) Prairie Dreams by Teresa Warfield no idea why the author sounds so familiar, I have never read her Western Rose by Lynna Banning Her first book. I think... at least her first HH. Cooper's Wife by Jillian Hart I wish she still wrote for HH. Last Chance by Jill Marie Landis xina told me to and I always do what xina sez. Matter of Trust by Diana Palmer it is a sickness I tell ya.... And Able by Lucy Monroe The Longing by Wendy Lindstrom It is so wrong she is going contemp. How to Seduce a Bride by Edith Layton never read her Morning Song by Karen Robards again xina told me too The Texas Ranger by Diana Palmer because I have no shame Home Song by LaVyrle Spencer no clue what this is about but it was a quarter Comanche Cowboy by Georgina Gentry I am still annoyed with her. But this was on a 'want' list from forever ago and it was a quarter so... Married to the Boss by Lori Foster I had never heard of this There are a few more books I have rec'ed in the past three weeks in the mail but I am tired so that will be another post.

Which Cover?

I ran into a usb today to check and see if they had The Rainbow Promise by Lisa Gregory. They didn't. Since I don't make it to this usb often I ended up browsing around... yeah you are all shocked I know. The store is grand and she has old books. You should see how far back she goes on her Harlequin lines. It makes me squeee! They had a copy of Windflower by Laura London. As you may or may not recall I own this book already (found it at a library sale for a quarter) but I knew someone else was looking for it (taramarie maybe?). So for $1.50 I couldn't pass up buying a Hard to Find book. Now my problem is which one do I keep? Neither have the original cover, which honestly I am not fond of... So do I want the first reissue <------------- Or do I want the second reissue --------------> Personally I like the one on the right but there is just something about an old romance novel with the old style cover. If it wasn't for the fact I will have to pack up all these books soon (well and the money thing) I would have bought some old Dorothy Garlock books the other day just because they were in such great shape and had the cheesy old covers. I so can't make up my mind. Because really, the cover on the left is bad.

Fuck me gently with a chainsaw

J.D.: The extreme always seems to make an impression. Of course it started with... Tara Marie leading my drugged self over to RtB a few days ago (well longer now). And since the first thing I thought of when I saw the post was Heathers, I sqqquuueee when I saw jane's comment. Cuz I like company in my oddness. Veronica Sawyer: Dear Diary, my teen-angst bullshit now has a body count. When the sqquuueeing stopped I decided to... use my wicked cool quotes and blog about reviews... Then I remembered I have already done that, you know, once or so. And there wasn't anything new really for me to say. And since I can't seem to keep a thought in my head long enough to complete a post I changed my mind. Veronica Sawyer: Heather told me she teaches people real life. She said, "Real life sucks losers dry. If you wanna fuck with the eagles, you have to learn to fly." I said, "So, you teach people how to spread their wings and fly?" She said, "Yes." I said, "You're beautiful." The title of this post, How Very and the one above here... are some of my favorite quotes. Well to be honest the title is the first thing that popped into my head when responding to Tara's post but she is a nice girl so I didn't use it on her blog :). Veronica Sawyer: It's one thing to want someone out of your life, but it's another thing to serve them a wake-up cup full of liquid drainer. And since many people are soooo touchy I thought blogging about reviews with quotes such as these might seem... what is the word? Mean... Have you read LLB's Anatomy of a Glom? I recently went on a glom, in case you were wondering. And it was one of those authors I have never read that everyone talks about... Suzanne Brockmann. It started with Letter to Kelly (really liked it but more on that later) which lead to Heart Throb (really liked this too but it soooo seemed familiar but back at the time I was reading hollywood type books like Jackie Collins and Glitter Baby I don't think this was published.) And then I read: TAYLOR'S TEMPTATION, SIM, TDD #10, July 2001 THE ADMIRAL'S BRIDE, SIM #962, TDD #7, November 1999 NIGHT WATCH, SIM, TDD #11, September 2003 IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR, SIM #896, TDD #6, December 1998 (Reissued in 4/05 as HAWKEN'S HEART) - almost positive I try to read this once and skipped to the end. read the whole thing this time... as of now my least fave of this series. GET LUCKY, SIM #991, TDD #9, March 2000 EVERYDAY, AVERAGE JONES, SIM #872, TDD #4, August 1998 Still have to be read: IDENTITY: UNKNOWN, HARVARD'S EDUCATION, FRISCO'S KID, FOREVER BLUE, PRINCE JOE. hee no I am not going in any order... I am odd like that. Veronica Sawyer: I say we just grow up, be adults and die. Oddly enough I got started on the whole glom because I tried to order an ebook from NCP... Wild Child by Shelley Munro And due to some omfg asshattery from my bank - tangent did I tell you about that? Someone touched some button and completely fucked my account for ten days. TEN! So every check I wrote, for TEN DAYS, was returned.... I think the total so far that the bank has paid in fees is somewhere around 150 (will be 400 if they pay the bill my apartments sent them). I think I should be paid for the amount of time I had to spend on the phone figuring out what all they fucked up. This effected my paypal account as well, so it took like three day to clear vs the **poof** you have ebookness that I am use too. Since I didn't know about that at first I hit the button to order said ebook and waited. Then waited. And waited some more. Then dropped NCP an email. And waited. And waited some more. I was sad. Because now I HAD TO HAVE THIS BOOK. Because I couldn't get it. It dawned on me to call the bank the following day. And I figured out what the hold up was and that it was on their end not NCP. Not that NCP contacted me that day, which I think was a Sunday. Or that Monday. My email to customer service was answered five days later. After the book was sent to me the day before. Is this normal? Most of my ebooks come from Samhain, Liquid Silver Books and EC. And I tried to factor in I know angie and tina well enough to drop them an email and pout if my order were to screw up. BUT the only times I have had to email one of those publishers, I went through the customer service link. And was answered RIGHT AWAY. Like with in hours, when I expected to have to wait a day or so. Of course I could be annoyed that I waited and waited for a book I ended up not liking. oh and the age plot thing is what lead me to Letter to Kelly but uh that is another post... LOL Veronica Sawyer: What is your damage, Heather? Which leads back to reviews... I have a shit load of half done reviews in draft that I am going to start putting up. Some are way old and some are not... but anything I had written down or on my hard drive is going to get something said about it. The ones I have found so far that have been read (in nnnnnooooooo order): Cece Stuart: Once in a Blue Moon Rene Weaver: Let's Pretend Diana Palmer: Heartbreaker Caroline Linden: What a Gentleman Wants Shannon Stacey: 72 Hours, Forever Again Bonnie Dee: Bone Deep, Home Bound Susan Mallery: The Ladies' Man Karen Rose Smith: Custody for Two Melissa Jackson: Masquerade Dee Tenorio: Betting Hearts Adrienne Basso: The Christmas Heiress Annmarie McKenna: Blackmailed Goodman: One Forbidden Evening Beth Williamson: The Prize Evangeline Anderson: Last Man On Earth Ruth Kerce: Xylon Warriors Sasha White: Gypsy Heart, Bound Ann Jacobs: Out of Bounds, Another Love, Getting it On Sylvia Day: Ask for It HelenKay: Viva Las Bad Boys Kristin Hardy: Under His Spell Galen Foley: His Wicked Kiss Shelley Munro: Wild Child ::blink:: maybe I will do a huge mass review... or something Heather Duke: I prayed for the death of Heather Chandler many times and I felt bad every time I did it but I kept doing it anyway. Now I know you understood everything. Praise Jesus, Hallelujah. Did I mention... My hip fucking hurts... I spent over THREE hours in the doctor's office today. So I could talk to her for five mins, get poked with a needle and be given new drugs. I really need to get a new dr but I really really like my dr. le sigh LOL of course right at the second I am feeling nooooooo pain Heather Chandler: You stupid fuck. Veronica Sawyer: You goddamn bitch. Heather Chandler: I brought you to a Remington party and what's my thanks? It's on a hallway carpet. I got paid in puke. Veronica Sawyer: Lick it up, baby. Lick. It. Up. And NEW BOOKS! Work has been... uh work but the upside is a week or so ago I won a 100 gift card off a raffle thing (if your name is on a comment card you get a ticket, ticket is drawn in the monthly meeting - that I didn't go to - but hey I won). So I had to buy some books with part of it. Oddly enough there wasn't much I wanted and omg ya think there are enough paranormals out there? I did pick up: The Inconvenient Duchess - Christine Merrill (read) The Rake's Proposal - Sarah Elliott (went back and forth with this one as I didn't really like her first book) Stay for Christmas - Judith Stacy, Victoria Bylin, Elizabeth Lane (read) Under His Spell - Kristin Hardy (read) The Wicked Games of a Gentleman by Jillian Hunter Other new to me books (in no order): The Cop by Sasha White, Alyssa Brooks, Renee Alexis (reading) Midnight Sonata by Dee Tenorio What A Gentleman Wants by Caroline Linden (read) Peeping Tom Shelley Munro Master of Swords by Angela Knight No Rest for the Wicked by Kresley Cole Rainbow by Patrica Potter (OOP) Tempting the Devil by Patrica Potter Texas Bad Boys by Dianne Castell, Karen Kelley, Rosemary Laurey Penance by Lorie O'Clare The Christmas Heiress by Adrienne Basso (read) Colters’ Woman by Maya Banks (read) Mr. and Mistress by Heidi Betts Beyond a Shadow by Alison Kent Hot Nights by Shannon McKenna Sacred Places by Mandy M. Roth A Reason to Live by Maureen McKade (read) Captive Dreams by Angela Knight and Diane Whiteside Devil's Lady by Patrica Rice (OOP) It Had to be You by Susan Elizabeth Phillips Step Into Darkness by Naomi Bellis Take Me by Lucy Monroe Bond of Blood by Diane Whiteside I'm in No Mood For Love by Rachel Gibson hmmmm I am missing something... I need to check the office in the morning... anyway with luck my migraine will still be mia tomorrow and I can finish up The Cop and Hard Evidence. As painful as migraines can be it really really sucks that it makes reading hard (to impossible) and completely kills the joy in playing on the internet. I am thinking I need a few audio books (but that would be another post *g*) And there will be a return of the 'Ebuzz' as well as guest Ebuzz. As well as a print review or two. I am so thinking of taking my phone off the hook. Does it make sense to invite someone who spent over three hours in a dr office trying to kill a week long migraine - to go drink? I mean really... can ya guess what the answer was? Speaking of dr, migraines and such... anyone taking Lyrica? It is an Anticonvulsant (same family as the evol topamax and neurontin - been on both). I am looking for info on side effects. Topamax is a bitch to take. Neurontin was cake but didn't do shit. hmmm I should look up how to spell these since I am just guessing. Heathers most likely screwing with someone's copywrite somewhere... feel free to complain to whoever owns that site... Who knows maybe tomorrow I will do a post that makes sense, hey you never know...

"It's mine, do you hear me? Mine! All mine! Down! Down! Go! Go! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Bwahahahaha!!!"

YaY! this came yesterday and this is on the way. Sadly this hasn't shown up in the mail yet. WoOT! Currently I am rereading this.

Ways to be Wicked by Julie Ann Long

Sylvie Lamoureux is the darling of the Paris ballet, renowned for her beauty and passionate dedication to her art. But when a mysterious letter sends her across the English Channel, she finds herself literally landing in the lap of one of London's most notorious men. With a face that has charmed many a London lady, theater impresario Tom Shaughnessy is used to women falling into his arms. But from the moment this feisty young Frenchwoman leaps into his carriage, he senses he's met his rival in wit, daring...and sensuality. When fate pulls Sylvie into the bawdy world of Tom's theater, a desire neither of them fully expects threatens to upend their well-laid plans. But the past Sylvie never knew she had will force her to make a decision. She can either let it bring down the curtain on their fiery pas de deux...or trust this wicked man with her heart. I want! And I want an excerpt, uh not that I read excerpts cuz that would be bad for my OCD. Julie Ann Long has a blog now but sadly no excerpt (unless I missed it).

Oh happy day... new books

Outsider by Diana Palmer Meet Colby Lane, the Long, Tall Texan Diana Palmer's fans have been clamoring for -- a man who is larger than life, and twice as exciting. The New York Times bestselling author delivers to readers a thrilling new story set against the rugged, ever-changing south Texas landscape. Former black ops CIA operative Colby Lane, now retired from his wild years as a mercenary, has found his new calling as assistant chief of security for the mammoth Ritter Oil Corporation. All he wants is a new start. What he discovers, though, is that the past is never far behind. Colby is soon enmeshed in plans to trap a notorious drug trafficker, and it seems that his ex-wife, Sarina Carrington -- whom he so cruelly left after one day of marriage -- may be more involved than she's letting on. Not only that, but Sarina has a six-year-old dark-eyed daughter whose father is mysteriously absent -- or is he? Thanks mad! And really people... Berkley should so give me a book fairy to send me books cuz I would so be their bitch. Instead I have to be grateful for a pseudoberkley fairy who is prolly so fucking tired of me and I will cry when she stops talking to me one day for being such a bother. Catch of the Day with stories by Whitney Lyles, Beverly Brandt, Cathie Linz, Pamela Clare Four all-new stories that show there's no place like a wedding to catch the perfect man. To go down the aisle or not to go down the aisle. Is that even a question? Well, it depends on whether you're the bride or just a bridesmaid-for the fifth straight time. Or whether an old flame is determined to wreck the wedding weekend. It's enough to make a girl say "I don't." Now, these brand-new stories about four matrimonially-challenged women demonstrate how one of life's best days can go so wrong-and still be sexy, hilarious, and deliciously right. Hunting the Hunter by Shiloh Walker Bounty hunter Kane Winter has spent two years looking for the mysterious woman who was there when his partner was killed. But when the hunted turns out to be a seductive vampire, Kane is consumed by a desire greater than vengeance-a hunger to possess this woman for himself. The Sea King by Jolie Mathis In this sexy, emotional debut, a beautiful Saxon princess must guard her heart against the formidable Viking who is the enemy of her people.

Sin by Sharon Page

Love the title and the apple on the cover but is it just my computer color or does his hand look funky? A taste of the forbidden Venetia Hamilton is no stranger to erotic art--her father's lush paintings are one of society's secret pleasures. But Venetia has never experienced true desire. Not until she meets Marcus Wyndam, the Earl of Trent--a powerful man who holds her future in his hands and awakens her curiosity with one searing kiss. His expert touch is only the beginning of her carnal education, but something more dangerous than submission may be the price she pays for such unimaginable delight... Kathryn Smith reviewed Page's first novel, A Gentleman Seduced. I think I have this tbr.

Pirates!

Kristie blogged about this book. Since it was pirates I went to look it up. Release Date: November 2006 Azure-eyed Alanis was by far the most exquisite treasure ever claimed by the black pirate known as the Viper, but his motives went deeper than his silken promise to ravish the feisty Yorkshire heiress. Commanding the waters of the Caribbean was his means to an end: reclaiming his birthright--and his blood debt against those who had betrayed him. Comfortably betrothed to a nobleman, Alanis never imagined the heady emotions involved in the true games of seduction--games this blackguard seemed to thoroughly enjoy playing with her. Swept up into an adventure that soon revealed a gentleman and kindred spirit beneath the ruthless veneer of a privateer, Alanis began to soften towards her enigmatic captor, as her pride and her heart fell under his erotic spell.
