How I’d love to read Smooth Talking Stranger. Alas, it is still not available on Kindle.
Got my Heaving Bosoms, too! :D

Congrats to both Alex Beecroft and Erastes for hitting the romance mainstream with their m/m historicals. I haven’t gotten my copies yet, but False Colors and Transgressions both look wonderful. I hope both will be reviewed at Dear Author.

I like the list as above because I can scan it quickly for recommendations. The links are available if I want to (re)read the full review, so this works great for me.

I have Ghostland and Heaving Bosoms.
Just finished Magic Strikes.
I’m getting Smooth Talking Stranger from my
public library next week.
Life is good.

I miss the snippets and cover images. They helped trigger my memory without having to click all the way through to the review to see what the book is about.
