I feel her writing is better now than at the beginning of the series. <br /><br /><i>Scandal</i> is pretty good.

I'm going to see at the end of the year how many books I loved LOL :) Men of the Otherworld might not make it, just because Savage and Ascension, I've read in the past when it was online.<br /><br />Bone Crossed was great, so I see why it makes your list.<br /><br />Still need to read Scandal, argh.<br /><br />I just did a quick count and I'm at 103 books so far this year :Pnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-30470337150306726842009-07-01T21:11:08.898-04:002009-07-01T21:11:08.898-04:00Lori - I can see where Scandal could take a while ...Lori - I can see where <i>Scandal</i> could take a while to get into the story. It is much more internal than external as far as conflict goes. Plus, the way the story unfolded in bits and pieces only added to that. <br /><br /><i>To Beguile a Beast</i> is the only book in that series I have read so far and I have <i>To Taste Temptation</i> sitting in my TBR pile. I plan to read it within the next week or two. I am really enjoying Hoyt's writing.Jill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10994157783980931093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-35160831728039717552009-07-01T21:03:09.381-04:002009-07-01T21:03:09.381-04:00OK, I loved Hard and Fast. Most of it wasn't a...OK, I loved Hard and Fast. Most of it wasn't as LOL funny as her usual, but I did LOL within the first couple chapters. And Ty is very yummy indeed.<br /><br />Agree wholeheartedly w/the Brockmann. Although I haven't been a huge fan of Sophia since the first book she was in, I loved the outcome for Tracy & Deck. And I really liked Dave. A lot.<br /><br />Loved To Beguile a Beast. And absolutely Cannot Wait for November, when To Desire a Devil comes out. <br /><br />It took me a long time to get into Scandal, but once I did, I loved it.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250972350798310498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-7851304062749821002009-07-01T20:50:01.574-04:002009-07-01T20:50:01.574-04:00Katie - you haven't started Briggs?!! Oh yes,...Katie - you haven't started Briggs?!! Oh yes, you need to get on that. I just started <i>One Foot in the Grave</i>, based on your recommendation and thank you very much, I am loving it!<br /><br />VFG - I am guessing that the two books you have are the Armstrong and the Briggs. Have you read any from those series? They are really good (IMHO).<br /><br />Sarah T. - I did notice that you had <i>Dark of Night</i> on your wish list for this months releases. I usually get hardbacks from my library. Sometimes there is a wait, but not to many people from my town read! Better for me, I guess.<br /><br />LOL, not many people loved <i>Hard and Fast</i> as much as I did, but like I said, it hit all the right buttons for me. <br /><br />Laurie - I love to see a new face! Thank you for stopping by and I would absolutely love it if you came back to visit. Thank you so much for you kind words. I am very flattered!<br /><br />Moning is easily one of my most favorite authors and I think what she has done with the Fever series is nothing short of genius. I am on pins and needles waiting for the release of <i>Dreamfever</i>.Jill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10994157783980931093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-7943769553262004572009-07-01T20:39:33.848-04:002009-07-01T20:39:33.848-04:00I am new to your blog (thank google!) and I just d...I am new to your blog (thank google!) and I just discovered Karen Marie Moning...hence I found you! I would like to tell you that I love your blog. It's witty and well-written, not cheesy or preachy, yet it is still opinionated. thanks! I appreciate the info on all of your new discoveries and some oldies but goodies (Outlander). Hope you don't mind, but I'll be on your blog often!Highland Hussyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819878715462070200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-48493601642901418872009-07-01T16:07:02.114-04:002009-07-01T16:07:02.114-04:00Great list, Jill!
I have 'Dark of Night'...Great list, Jill! <br /><br />I have 'Dark of Night' on my TBR shelf but I need to catch up with the series before reading it. I also have 'To Beguile a Beast', which I really must read soon. While I didn't love 'Hard & Fast' as much as you did, it was a fun read and I'm so looking forward to Suzanne and Ryder's story.<br /><br />@Katiebabs I'm a recent convert to the wonders of Patricia Briggs. I'm currently reading 'Blood Bound', the second in the Mercy Thompson series. It's even better than the first one, which is saying something. If Patricia Briggs can convince me to like books featuring werewolves, she's got to be good.SarahThttp://www.monkeybearreviews.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-91540230854681833002009-07-01T12:41:47.919-04:002009-07-01T12:41:47.919-04:00Hi,
