It’s Monday!  What Are You Reading #27

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week.  It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment, and er… add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye’s Blog   and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

What Did I Read This Last Week?

ALFA Mates by Milly Taiden

#1-2 ALFA

Paranormal Romance, Romantic Suspense

This did not really grab me and the heroines both irked me for different reasons.  I’ve struggled with the author’s contemporary romances so maybe we’re just not a good fit.

Out of Reach by Kendall Talbot

#1 Maximum Exposure

Action Romance

Fun survivalist romantic adventure in the Mexican Jungle looking for the answers to clues in a journal.  Loved this old-style wise-cracking romance pair.

The Six by Mark Alpert, Narrated by Josh Bloomberg

#1 The Six

YA Sci-Fi

The science blew me away in this one, but it didn’t get carried away and was well balanced with the human side for the kids all in the last stages of deadly diseases.

They Found Him Dead by Georgette Heyer

#3 Inspector Hannasyde

Historical Mystery

Fun, quirky family antics, clever mystery, and great banter.

Ascendant by Richard Denoncourt

#1-4 Ascendant

Dystopian

Brilliant, gritty world and overall plotting.  Suspenseful.  Depressing a little.  The love triangle was bleh.  Overall, like!

The Pharaoh’s Cat by Maria Luisa Lang

Paranormal Historical, Historical Magical Realism

Loved this whimsical take on Ancient Egypt.  Wry bantering cat.  Engaging plot.

Heart of Steel by Meljean Brook

#2 Iron Seas

Steampunk Romance

Gritty, action-packed treasure hunt adventure against a fabulous and colorful steampunk world.  Fantastic characters who banter and play off each other as partners in business and romance.

Goodness Gracious Gracie by Anya Wylde

Romantic Comedy

Film making in India leads to drama off camera.  Fun and light!

Cowboy Bold by Carolyn Brown

#1 Longhorn Canyon

Contemporary Romance

Sexy cowboy, grieving lady fighting her heart, and eight adorable kids on the ranch!

The Heiress of Linn Hagh by Karen Charlton

#1 Inspector Lavender

Historical Mystery

Atmospheric, gothic Regency era mystery.  Loved Lavender and Woods for a detecting team!
