Hi Jane,
Actually The Sheikh’s Forbidden Virgin is by me–Kate Hewitt–not Kate Hardy! Thank you for recommending it :)

This has been a good reading month so far! I haven’t read it yet but Dr. Sarah F./ Joan also loved Courtney Milan’s novella in the anthology The Heart of Christmas.

This has been a great month so far! I also really enjoyed Indiscreet.
*disclaimer: Carolyn is a friend, but I pay full price for her books.*
Billionaire's Bride of Covenience was okay; I guess I’m really not a Presents person, because the stuff that bugged me was apparently pretty typical of the line. So now I know. Soulless is in my TBR pile, along with a bunch of steampunk books and the two most recent by Liz Carlyle.
Any reviews coming of Tessa Dare’s third book, or the last of Elizabeth Hoyt’s Four Soldiers books? Inquiring minds and all that….

This disclaimer crap is annoying. Can we get over it yet? Not only do we know the FTC can’t levy fines, but it doesn’t go into effect for two more months anyways. Surely we realize how unenforceable it is as well.

@Caligi No. I am going to comply with the law as it is interpreted by the FTC.

I enjoyed The Sheikh’s Love Child (or something like that) by Kate Hewitt. She’s good!

Yes, I adored Courtney Milan’s novella in The Heart of Christmas. The characters were unbelievably well-constructed and the story was amazing. Totally and utterly recommend. But I couldn’t recommend the other two stories, so I didn’t feel comfortable recommending the book as a whole. But it’s worth the price of admission to get Milan’s story.
I’ll be reviewing the Crow/Fox and Buchanan stories when they release.
