The Third Circle, by Amanda Quick-

A nice change of pace if you’re into paranormal stories. Lots of “energy” “vibes” and “power” flying around. It’s part of a series, and of course, it’s not the first book. *sigh* There are highly charged sexual scenes that drip with intensity. Oh, and a sexy as hell hypnotist doen’t hurt either.

Alrighty, I’ve done enough talking about them. Now I want y’all to go out and read them, if you haven’t already. I’m talking about Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Mysteries (Sookie Stackhouse, et al). Books 1-9 are currently available. They’re well written, quick reads with lots of suspense and other good things. Oh, and TrueBlood fans will appreciate this: the book plots are somewhat different (so far) from the series. So even if you’ve spent some overtime drooling (as I have) over Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgard on HBO, you can still read these and enjoy them immensely. You know, I’m beginning to think there really is no reason to be afraid of things that go bump in the night. *fangy grin*

Mastered by Love, by Stephanie Laurens

The final novel in the Bastion Club series. I couldn’t bring myself to write a full review, because I was annoyed so much by Lauren’s writing. The story is good–we finally learn about the past of Dalziel–but unless you can stomach the writing style, don’t bother unless you’ve been waiting for the conclusion of the series as I have.

Private Arrangements and Delicious, both by Sherry Thomas, are perhaps the most innovative romance novels I’ve read in a long time. Both are set at the end of the Victorian Era, and both are filled with interesting characters, complex plots and a couple of red hot love scenes that will make your head spin around twice. I’ve found a new favorite author, folks, and I think you will agree. Go read these!

Simple Wishes by Lisa Dale
This is an elegantly written romance – simple and believable. Adele Matin returns to rural Pennsylvania because frankly, she has nowhere else to go. There she mets Jay Westvelt, a back-woods artist and unlikely match for the urbanized Adele. But something magical happens between the two and Adele comes to realize that home is truly where the heart is. In this case, home is with Jay. Read this one. Please.

When the Duke Returns, by Eloisa James
The next installment in the desperate duchess’ series. This is the story of Isidore the duchess that was married by proxy, and has yet to meet her husband almost 15 years later. When he comes back after receiving a letter that she has attended a notorious house party, he decides she is much too alluring to be his duchess. He expected a prim and proper duchess, in line with his middle way beliefs. However, the attraction between them won’t just go away, and Isidore is determined to win the man she married. Get ready for a roller coaster ride of emotion!

The Forbidden Lord, by Sabrina Jeffries
This is the story of Jordan Willis, Lord Blackmore and Emily Fairchild, a rector’s daughter from Derbyshire. This romance story runs the gamut from possible murder to blackmail to deception to love, and I’m still trying to catch my breath. I really like how Sabrina Jeffries spins her tale. The only problem I had with this book was that I could not stop myself from yelling at Emily, several times, “Trust him, already!!” You’ll get what I mean if you read it, which I highly recommend.

The Scarlett Spy, by Andrea Pickens
This is another part of her trilogy about the female spy force known as Merlin’s in Regency London. This time, military secrets are at stake when ships carrying art and such disappear, never to be seen again, while an elite circle profits. The death of an heir to a dukedom, and a handful of smut for our girlie spy round this one out. It’s a quick read, but not overly exciting.

Yours Until Dawn, by Theresa Medeiros
Another excellent historical romance by my favored author. The story of the blind Gabriel Fairchild Lord Sheffield, and his nurse, Samantha Wickersham, this story has an unexpected and poignant twist at the end. The dog, Sam and the servants at Fairchild Park almost steal the show, and Medeiros writes with her usual wit and attention to detail in the more interesting of the scenes (and don’t pretend you don’t know what I mean). I recommend it highly as well as any of her other novels.
