Well Caines Reckoning fulfills that. Along the line of her Promises books (in reference to being a 'cowboy' story) this story goes into much more detail of the characters personalities, and the 'why' of their emotions and 'why' they do/react the way they do in the situations that they find themselves in.

Well written, in-depth, full-spectrum characters, gives this story of Caine, a Texas Ranger, just 'this side' of the law, a moving and exhilarating excitement of adventure, as he saves, falls in love and protects Desi, a broken, ardent, never give up type of women,

You may ask, how can the herione be broken and ardent? :) Well, you'll just have to read the story to find that out :)

This story had some surprise in it (at least, I didn't see it coming). But if ms ward doesn't stop killing off her heroines, I'm going to be mighty upset. I wonder if Jane will be able to have children, in the condition she's in now.

and what's this action with John and Xhex? HA! truth. I'd love to see a fruitation of that hint!

and PHURY!? Oh My! can't wait till the next book (his) lol this is going to be soooo interesting. and when he told bella "don't make me break down in front of you. I need my pride right now. Its the only thing keeping me standing."
oh geeze, I was just balling my eyes out.

One of my favorite spots of the story, was after both Vishous and Jane realize their love for one another. She's driving when V calls her and says "hello doctor, it's your man" and then she gives him detailed instructions...hehehe

You'll just have to read the book :D

Lover Unbound...4 ruby red slippers!

I adored the emotions and interactions of a full cast of characters, along with a nodding hello to some old familiar friends.

since i have to work the next 2 nights, i also got a cianna stones story, molding clay (i ab.so.lute.ly Loved ChasenAna...that was one of the CUTEST stories I had read in a while) so I'm sure that molding clay will give me that smile as i read :) Sometimes, a few giggles in with the sex, lust and suspense, makes me a happy reader.

:D

and I just adore Sherrilyn Kenyon's writing. (kenyon is macgregor) The Dark-Hunter, Dream-Hunter books are some of my favorite. And the premise for the Lords of Avalon is great. (king author dies, but what happens to every one else after he died?)

I'm not sure, if it's because I'm anxiously waiting for some other books that are going to be coming out around march, or if it's something else.

I even have some hot yummy e-books from Ellora's Cave, and I haven't been able to get interested in them either. and they're also from 'fav' authors. So it has to be me, and not the books. Maybe it's time to re-read some favorite oldies. Maybe then I'll get over what ever it is that's got me hung up.

Of course, I've also been very involved with trying to get the domains back on line. I've almost got it to. gee el still needs work done on it, so does witchys net, and there's nothing for clan nevermore except a place holder, BUT this weekend, I actually got Offtilt's blog working. (I think I really like this new updatedwordpress that's come out. I'm having a lot of fun sitting things up.

*grin* of course, I won't be saying that, when I start designing for it. I remember the hassle of trying to design for wordpress, and it shouldn't be that hard! LOL oh well. Hopefully it will all come back to me as I play around with it. (which I won't be for now, NOW I have to finish up gee el, and at least put something besides a place holder, for Nevermore.

But with all that coding going through my head, you would think reading would help relieve the pressure. Except that my head is full of coding, and I can't seem to get it wrapped around the words of the story. mmmm, Maybe that is why I'm not enjoying what I'm reading. My brain is still wrapped around code?

oh. that is, it would be, If I Only Had A Brain!

aaahhhhahahahahahaha....

Oh My Goodness! It's TRUE! Southern Vampire Ms Harris has it on her news page (first page) Sookie really IS coming to TV!
YEA!

In Eye Of Heaven Blue is after an organ peddler, a flesh and blood broker, who is not just powerful and rich, but who's family actually owns the bank. But Blue is seriously injured, and in his delirium, with his power, he also injures one of his best friends wives.

As he tries to re-cuperate, he gets the news that his estranged father has died.

Only things aren't what they seem. Not only is Blue's father not dead, but he finds out he has a brother. With his father blackmailing him, and guilt for the injury he caused his friends, Blue goes to Las Vegas, following a lead to find his brother. Not only does Blue find him, but he finds the love of his life. Iris McGillis.

Iris McGillis, circus performer, shapeshifter, orphan. But again, things aren't as them seem.

Not only must Blue reconcile the fact that he has a brother, but he must save Iris from the very people that he has been chasing, and people who he thought was family. Iris and Blue both, must face the lies, heartbreak and betrayal, of those they trusted and come to turns with who they are and what they want out of life for themselves.

oh. yeah.

I had to go to two book stores to find Eye Of Heaven. My favorite book store (books a million) didn't have it! BOY did I let them know that I was unhappy about that. :) Thank goodness Waldenbooks had it, cause I really didn't want to have to drive to barnes and noble (especially at this time of day) to pick it up. (At least B N HAD it.

So. work first, then read :)

to bad I can't run out and get it today, but by this weekend I'll have it, and hurray, I have off, so I'll be able to sit here and read with out any one bothering me!

MAN! I can't WAIT

In fact, nothing I've read, has really been that good, in my opinion. Which is /wrong/ a shame, cause I'm reading some good authors, but my emotions are so disappointed with not getting my ARC of M.M. Lui's new book (which is coming out in 2 weeks) that I just can't seem to be happy with anything I *am* reading.

Isn't that funny, how one little thing, can ruin days of reading (or whatever)

I guess for the style catcher, I'll just delete the whole thing. but that's going to mess things up for me, when I try to do a mt blog design.

and I still have to load up wordpress. (think I'll put that as 'blog' and I'll use the glossolalia name). perhaps I'll finally get the clan name.
hell. who knows. right now, all i can think of, is pouting cause i have to go to work.

geeze. i dislike this job.

but I realized, that if I can't get the MT style catcher to work, than I'm not able to do any of Mysticbrews MT blog designs. (let alone, I'll have difficulty changing any new design for geeell reads)

I deleted the database, and started a fresh one, and re-uploaded the MT things. :( but still no style catcher. I'm stumped. and it worked so perfect over at the other site.

(at least this time, the sidebar went up nicely, and the import was a breeze)

If you have read either of the first to books in this series by ms. liu you'll know that Dean Campbell is an irreverent bad boy, who's always pushing everyone's buttons and panting after the women. Or at least, that's the impression you've gotten with the first 2 books.

Some times, things aren't always what they seem. And that's never been truer, then with this new story by Ms. Liu The Red Heart Of Jade

Dean is in Taipei, trying to find, and stop, a pyrotechnic serial killer, when things start spiraling out of control. Not only are his powers not able to locate the pyrotechnic, but he's seeing dead people. Specifically, the only women he's ever loved, and who died in his arms 20 years earlier.

Mirabelle Lee, professor, archaeologist, anthropologist, and her mentor have made an exciting discovery. Mummified bodies that seem to be over 4 thousand years old. What is even stranger, is that one of the bodies, seems to have a large piece of red jade, embedded in it's chest. Embedded, as in the skin has actually grown over the edges of the jade. To make things even more interesting, there seems to be 2 different groups of people, who do not want the discovery, well, discovered, and want her dead. When the only man she ever loved, arose from the dead to save her from being kidnapped, she knows that her life has changed forever.

An exciting story, that once I started reading, couldn't put down, where bad guys aren't always the worse guys, and good guys are definitely not friends. Where true love has actually with stood the sands of time, and sometimes, trust and faith are all you can base your decisions on.

I just found out, that Dabel Brothers Productions is doing comic books of the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter books by Laurell K. Hamilton!! not only that, but they're also doing comics of Kinley MacGregor's (aka=Sherrilyn Kenyon!) Lords of Avalon!!

wheeeeeee whoooooooooo!!!

This Is SO Cool!
And you know something else? Not only are they doing a couple of my favorite authors books, into comics, but they're doing some great SciFi Authors books, into comics, AND some great scifi authors, who have made up stories Just For the Comics! (Like Raymond Feist and Tad Williams! both have great series of scifi books out)

OOoo OOOo OOOO! I Can't WAIT!... well, truthfully, even though I can hardly wait for Dean's story, I really REALLY want to know Blu's. mmmmmm I used to go with a boy, nicknamed Blu.

Only Marjorie Liu's Blu sounds soooooooooo much better! :)

meanwhile, back to Dean... oh yeah.... :)
