My Summer Reads

It has been awhile since I posted, but my goodness this summer has been crazy. More so than most. However, I have got some good reading in. So if you are looking for any summer reading suggestions, I have a few.

1. Sarah MacLean. No, this is not the title of a book, but an author. This summer I read all four books that she has out and she is one of my new favorite authors. She has a YA book, The Season, and a romance series titles Love by Numbers (Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake, Ten Ways to Be Adored when Landing a Lord, and Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart). Her books are funny, witty and full of fun and exciting moments.

2. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë - I had seen movie versions in the past, but reading the book I realized how witty Brontë really was. The internal dialogue Jane had was amusing and fun and it is no wonder this book as become a classic. It does stand the test of time.

3. Midnight's Wild Passion by Anna Campbell - I happen to love stories where the hero falls for an unlikely woman such as a governess or chaperone. In this case he falls for the companion of a woman he is trying to ruin. Spraks do fly and Campbell always does such a good job with entertaining dialogue.

4. Unveiled by Courtney Milan - This one was fun because it had a heroine in disguise, who just so happens to be his enemy's daughter. I couldn't put it down, it was fun and fresh.

5. Rafe's Redemption by Jennifer Jakes. Jen happens to be a friend of mine and this is her first book. First of all, I was excited to read her first published novel and secondly, I couldn't put the thing down. I tend to read more regency books or ones with myth interwoven in them, but I was excited to read hers because it had been awhile since I found a good western. This one is a extremely good western! It starts out with a young girl auctioned off in the wilds of Colorado and a young man who just can't help but save her from all the rowdy and heinous men in town, not to mention her evil cousin.
