I love connected series and some of my favorites are Sherrily Kenyon’s Dark-Hunter series. I also enjoy Christine Feehan’s Dark series. Jacquelyn Frank and Colleen Gleason also have good ones. I enjoy them because it makes me feel like a book is never really done, your always anticipating the nest release to see what happens to the characters and stories.

Fedora – Thank you! I’m so happy you loved WHEN GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO BAD BOYS.

Dina – Absolutely. I’m thinking if the author is doing it right, the book will feel like the first even if it isn’t.

limecello – Your point on how the secondary characters are introduced is a good one. I don’t like meeting new characters in a book in such a way that I know they are just being set up for their own stories.

Pat – Thank you! I forgot about Susan Mallery. She is the reason I read category romance. I read one of hers years ago and loved it.

Crystal – Me too!

Liza – People love her. I have been really bad about picking up her books. I need to get started. Sounds like I won’t regret it if I do. Thanks for sharing!

Catslady – I understand what you’re saying. If you do want to try Nora, pick up her original Chesapeake Bay trilogy (there’s a fourth, but the frist three are my favs). The series is over so you don’t have to worry about more books, and they are really good.

Cherie – I totally agree!

Scarlet – You started on book 13 and went back? Yeah, we have the same reading style.

Jane – Thank you!! I hope you enjoy HARD AS NAILS. I’m so excited for the release.

Rhonda -You are not the frist person to request Doug’s sotry (from RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW). I’m thinking about giving him a happy ending but have to figure out what woman can handle him…

Christina – Good point. Now that you mention it, I think I feel the same way.

Jill – Thank you! There will be two Hawaii-based books out in 2009 to follow-up YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY. I’m writing Josh’s story (the DEA agent) right now and loving it!

Cryna – Thank you for the pre-order! I hope you enjoy it.

HelenKay, it is Lynn Viehl’s Darkyn series. I got book 4 thinking it was the first in the series. I had read several short stories from the series first, so I was really excited until I found of there were 3 other books I needed first. They are now in my TBR pile.

I do like connected book because you get to continue with the story and find out what happens to all the characters. I also like these books to be able to stand alone in case I can’t get all of the books.

I do like connected books. I like it when characters that are introduced in one book get their own story and I am not left wishing their story had been told.

I adore connected books; love to re-visit characters also and since I ususally love the first one, it follows suit I need to read the rest.

Susan Mallery’s Buchanan, Marcelli; SEP’s Chicago Stars, Deirdre Martin’s Hockey, Kate Angell’s baseball, Nora Roberts and Barbara Delinky’s Dream books, Barbara’s Matchmaker Series are just a few of my favs. And I think somone with the inititals HKD has something going there too.

Can’t wait for your book – can’t beleive it is almost here. Keep writing.
