What is Everyone Reading?

I just finished reading an advance copy of SUN, SAND, SEX, a Brava anthology with Linda Lael Miller, myself and Shelly Laurenston that will be out in June. Wow! Three very different stories! What is really awesome is that I haven’t read Shelly Laurenston before and now I’m hooked! I can’t wait for her next book. How fun is it to find a new author to love?

I’ve read Linda Lael Miller for years, of course. When my agent called to tell me I had a contract offer for an anthology with Linda Lael Miller, I was stunned! Even though I had a fast approaching deadline, I said HECK YEAH! I love her story in the book. The whole time I was reading it, my husband kept asking, “Is it good?”

“Dude, it’s Linda Lael Miller!”

“But is it good?”

Sigh, he just doesn’t get it. “Yes, it’s very good!”

For my story in the anthology, I can’t comment about how good it is or isn’t, but I can tell you I loved writing that one. I didn’t want to let go of Nick and Lexie. Lexie used a staple gun for self-defense and ends up on the run from the law. Nick is the bounty hunter hired to bring her in. It’s a simple job, what could go wrong?

My oldest son and husband said, “Seriously, a staple gun? She’s arrested for assault and battery with a staple gun?”

“Hey, it could happen,” I replied.

They hid all my staplers. LOL!

Anyway, I have two advance copies of SUN, SAND, SEX to give away. Just tell me what you’re reading now in the comments section anytime today or tomorrow (Thursday and Friday), I’ll choose two names randomly and post the winners in the comment section sometime Saturday. I’ll also post my email address so the winners can send me their mailing addresses. Good luck!

    I am currently reading The Marcelli Princess by Susan Mallery. I am only in the third chapter, I have been having a hard time staying awake at night. Our cat had kittens 2 nights ago and we were up for that and last night the kittens meowed all night. LOL

  2. Cherie Japp Says:

    Just finished a manga series called Vampire Game and just about to start an anthology called The Queen in Winter by Claire Delacroix, Lynn Kurland, Sharon Shinn and Sarah Monette.

    Maria, “Stranger” kicked major a**!! I have put it into my “memorable reads”
    category.

    I am currently reading “One Real Cowboy” by Jan Kenny. I should be through with that tonight and I’m going to start on Keri Arthur’s “Full Moon Rising”. I hear this series is really good.

    I have also been listening to Harlan Cobin’s “Deal Breaker” on my work commute. I have discovered a new love! I have seen his books for ages, but never read one. I just didn’t know what I was missing. If all of his novels are written in the same voice as his Myron Bolitar character, I got lots of new books to add to the TBR pile!

  6. Jennifer K. Says:

    I recently finsihed “And The He Kissed Her” by Laura Lee Guhrke. I haven’t started a new book yet, but I did pull “Dangerous Curves” by Pamela Britton off of my bookshelf. Now to find time to read…

    Oh, how I want this book! It sounds like it’s going to be a fabulous anthology with the three of you. That’s funny about your staplers! I am usually very rational, but once I was so angry that I threw a can of tuna at my husband. Now we buy the tuna packets :lol:.

    I just finished Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward, and it was so good! I can’t wait for Lover Unbound to come out now.

    I’m starting Confessions of a Serial Dater by Michelle Cunnah now.

  33. Tammy G. Says:

    I just finished reading THE MEMORY KEEPER’S DAUGHTER by Kim Edwards. My next book I’m going to read is HARMONY’S WAY by Lora Leigh. I’ll start it today.

  34. Mickey Says:

    Just finished reading one of Vince Flynn’s first books (1999). Now, onto the sequal (2001) and it’s already interesting how the author is going to involve the main character from the first book into this second book since his cover was blown in the first book! Interesting mix of characters also.

  35. Cryna Says:
