What Janelle had to say on Saturday, March 3rd, 2012
I just started Jill Shalvis’s new Harlequin Blaze, TIME OUT, and I’m enjoying it so far. But then again, I can always count on Jill to deliver a sexy, fun, emotional read, and I can see that TIME OUT is all that and more.
But once I’m done with Jill’s book, I don’t have anything in the que. What are you reading? And have you read anything really good lately that you’d like to recommend?
Janelle Denison finds it hard to believe that it’s been nearly 25 years since she first started writing romance novels. At first, it was a way to pass idle time while her husband worked swing shift, but before long it became an obsession to get published. Luckily, she kept at it (it took her over 5 years to get that first book published!) and is now a Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and USA Today Bestselling author! Now, after selling over 45 plus novels, she finds that her Plotmonkey pals help to keep her stories fresh and unique, and she can’t imagine writing a story without their input. Janelle lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, along with two teenage daughters that keep life interesting.

I have Jill’s latest Blaze too. I love them. That is how I fell in love with her style and voice. I haven’t started the Blazes of the Month yet, but I am reading Defender by Catherine Mann. I stopped reading for fun, so that I could use it as a reward for getting my comments and grades done. Still won’t be able to crack a book open until at least tomorrow. I am sooooo bummed about that. I also have Robyn Carr’s Redwood Bend in the line up. I finished Wynonna Judd’s Restless Heart, which surprisingly a good read. There’ s more, but I am not gonna list them yet. Maybe, if I get my work done I’ll pop back on and let you know what I am reading. Oh, Janelle, have you read Jill’s Lucky Harbor books? They are really AWESOME!!!!
Peace and love,
Paula R.

Just finished private Games and not crazy for it and now I am reading Rainshadow Road and loving it….Think james Patterson should write the books himself this one did not measure up to his style of writing and will never read another by Mark sullivan again…it was boring!

Still reading Anna Jeffery’s Sweet Return. I have been sick with a wound on my foot and am now seeing a wound doctor so I haven’t been reading.

I just finished GUNS AND ROSES, the anthology the gals from Murder She Writes blog put out as an ebook. It starts with a Roxanne St. Claire Bullet Catcher novella and ends with a rollicking visit with Toni McGee Causey’s Bobbie Faye. In the middle are some great novellas that include favorite characters and new ones. I’ve started Mary Stanton’s DEFENDING ANGELS. This is an older title about a young lawyer in Savannah who is “admitted” to practice in the Celestial Court defending dead people. I think I’m really going to enjoy this series! Happy reading, everyone.

I finished BEHIND BOARDROOM DOORS by Jennifer Lewis… enjoyed it, now I have to find the stories that were before this one…
Comment
I finished reading Catherine Anderson’s Lucky Penny, great read, hard to put down. Now I am reading an older Elizabeth Lowell, A Woman Without Lies. The jury is still out but I’m sure it will be good even though it is older, much older!! Prior to this I read Samantha Hunter’s Blaze, Straight to the Heart. It was
Have no idea what is up next but I have several good choices on my TBR shelf. As soon as I can I need to go on a book store shopping trip or just go to Amazon!! There are lots of new books out by favorite authors that I need! 
Everyone enjoy the weekend.

Guns and Roses Anthology by MSW and J.D. Robb’s Celebrity In Death – loved both.
Currently reading Lost kingdom : Hawaii’s Last Queen, the Sugar Kings and America’s first imperial adventure by Julia Flynn Siler.
Comment
I just finished Lothaire by Kresley Cole…all I can say is she did the impossible with that evil “hero”.
Now I’m finishing Sabrina Jeffries Hellions of Halstead Hall Series with A Lady Never Surrenders. That series was a great regency romp.
Next will be:
Thea Harrison’s Oracle’s Moon
Janet Chapman’s Spellbound Falls
Gena Showalter’s The Darkest Surrender
AND when it comes out 3/27 Hannah Howell’s Highland Avenger
I’ll have to wait on the library’s copy of JR Ward’s Lover Reborn, dang…
Comment
Just finished Rock Chick Revenge and will be starting the next one in the series.
Comment
I’m reading debut author Cecilia Grant’s A Lady Awakened which I started yesterday and I’m about 3/4 thru the book. I’m tempted to try to finish it tonight because I’m really loving the story! I was hoping to finish it by now but my husband kept “finding” projects for me to do today – like cook dinner!
Comment
I’m ready to start the last book in the Hunger Games series but I needed a break first. I decided to do a quick re-read of a few Rachel Gibson books.

I just bought a compilation book, “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” by Roxanne St. Clair, Jill Shalvis and Maureen Child. Getting in the St. Patrick’s Day mood :)
Comment
Started & finished “Time Out” today while catching some rays. I loved it! It was one of those books that you just didn’t want to put down & I’m glad I didn’t. LOL Definitely had some laughs while reading it too. Enjoy!!!
Comment
Lover Unleashed by JR Ward this is the first book of hers I have read but I will be buying more, it’s a great book
Comment
I’m reading Sabrina Jeffries’ Hellions of Halstead Hall series:)
It’s a really funny historical romance series and best of all I get to read them all one after the other consecutively. Book 5 came out at end of January and so I got them all at once:D
Comment
Janelle–I’m reading DESTINY by Carly Phillips, and hope to read KISMET next.
One excellent series I read a few months back is the Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne mystery series by Julia Spencer-Fleming, set in the Adirondack mountains.
The heroine and hero are an Episcopal priest and a local police chief, respectively.
The first book is IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER, and these books need to be read in published order. There are 7 books so far, and Julia is working on # 8.

I’m reading Thea Harrison’s TRUE COLORS. When I’m done with that I think I’ll read Stephanie Tyler’s DIRE WARNING. I already read DIRE NEEDS and it was very good.
