No. 76: Cowboy Under Cover

Cowboy Under Cover by Marilyn Tracy

This is a random book, I am not sure where I got it, or why since it is not the kind of book I ordinarily read. I thought it was okay, not good but not terrible. I needed something to read and this was a very quick read.

No. 75: Mercy

Mercy by Julie Garwood

This is a book I picked up at the library book sale. I have read it before but since Julie Garwood is one of my favorite authors, I always like to re-read. This is one of her contemporary more mystery type books, but I thought it was really good. It goes along with her other contemporary books so I will probably have to find and re-read them all.

No. 74: A Wanted Man

A Wanted Man by Linda Lael Miller

This book is set in the Arizona Territory in 1905. I like this author's historical western books, she is the same one who wrote all the McKettrick series. This is part of a series as well (Stone Creek), the second. I have not read the first yet. I just grabbed this one from the store at lunch today for something to read. I thought it was good, and interesting twist on the lawman/outlaw plot. I will read the first one in the series for sure, and any other that come after it.

No. 73: The Hollow

The Hollow by Nora Roberts

This is the second book in the Sign of Seven trillogy. It was pretty good! It moved the story a long more, but not a lot. She is going to have a lot to take care of in the last book unless she skips ahead in time quite a bit. I thought the romance part was good, I liked the MMC a lot more than the FMC though. She kind of freaked out a lot which is annoying and she seemed kind of wimpy but trying to be tough which is also annoying. There are 6 main characters, 3 guys and 3 girls, and this is a trillogy, so unless something crazy happens, the next book will be about the remaining pair (Gage and Cybil). In this book, those two talked about how even though everyone else was pairing off, they would not. Kind of funny because I would bet 1 million dollars that they get together in the next book.

Speaking of the next book - it does not come out until DECEMBER!!! That is insane, I know it is already written! You are killing me Nora Roberts - why do you have to drag it out? I promise I will buy it no matter when it is released, but now I will be crabby about it because it has taken SO LONG!!!

No. 72: The Secret Pearl

The Secret Pearl by Mary Balough

This was a reissue of one of her older more traditional regencies. I am not at all a fan of the traditional regencies. I think the plots are too dark and depressing and I find it very difficult to believe the love story part of them. This one was well written, but I did not like the book that much. I bought it from the library book sale this weekend and it was only .50 so I am not too upset about it. I would not have read it otherwise.

No. 71: Blood Brothers

Blood Brothers by Nora Roberts

I had to re-read this book because the second one in the series comes out on Tuesday. It is pretty good, I think the second one will be even better. This series is about a town that has some kind of curse/haunting by a demon that happens for seven days in July every seventh year. The 6 main characters (3 girls and 3 guys - for 3 books, what a coincidence!) all are going to work together to try and solve the mystery of why it happens and keep it from happening again this year. This book focused on one of the couples, Cal and Quinn and I thought their romance was very sweet - a lot less drama than the SEAL books I have been reading - even with the whole demon thing happening :)
