No. 58: One Enchanted Evening

One Enchanted Evening by Lynn Kurland

Look at this, two books in two days! Maybe I am back! Or maybe I am so sick of painting that I will look for any alternative activity to keep me occupied. And there is a sad lack of good tv on in the summers. Whatever the reason, I am reading again and happy about it.

I have read literally every book by this author, I love her books. They have a lot going for them - time travel, scotsman, action, humor,an interconnected series with recurring characters, relatable FMCs, hot MMCs...throw in a navy SEAL or two and she could reach perfection!

This is the story of Pippa, a fashion designer who is thrown back in time with her deranged sister Cinderella (yes that is her real name, their parents are serious hippies) and she meets Montogmery di Piaget, who has long been one of my favorite of the diPiaget brothers. Although, as I was reading I remembered that I love all of the brothers, and brothers in law. So now I have to find the rest of the books and reread them. I don't know if there is necessarily an order, so I imagine I will read therm in the order of who I like the best.

No. 57: Ten Things I Love About You

Ten Things I Love About You by Julia Quinn

I bought this book a momth or so ago, as soon as I heard that it been released. But I hadn't read it until yesterday! I have not been reading much lately, things have been pretty busy around here. A combination of actual work, remodeling work and a new iPad have been distracting me. But yesterday the girls and I played out in the front yard and it was the perfect day to lay on a blanket and read a book. So I did.

I love Julia Quinn! Her books are always so funny, but with plenty of drama and action and serious parts too. The hero is always a little tortued, but not too much. In this one Sebastian was a sniper during the war and now he can't sleep. So during his usual sleeping hours instead of sleeping he occupies himself by writing. And it is excellent.

A very excellent book all around, my only complaint is that there isn't enough backstory about the dispute between Sebastian and his Uncle. But I guess some people are just jerks.

No. 56: Fragile Eternity

Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr

I think this is the third In the series. I am obviously not that into it anymore sine it took me a couple of weeks to finish. It was fine, but I am over the whole fairy thing now. I am sure I will eventually read the rest of the series but I need to move on.
