I think because those genres have a bigger escapism factor.<BR/><BR/>I do read romantic suspense, historical, contemporary, and a bit of erotica, but usually only those that get rave reviews. Like <I>Unlawful Contact</I>. I should pick that one up. <BR/><BR/>I have Kresley Cole's most recent two releases on my TBR. I'd like to get to them soon because I absolutely adore the IAD series.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-51982744772010345922008-07-23T19:52:00.000-04:002008-07-23T19:52:00.000-04:00Christine, Great minds think alike!

Of your list, I've read three so far: SpyMaster's Lady, BlueEyed Devil and Iron Kissed.

I did like the premise of the Fae. I liked that they each have a different power and what not. I also though the different missing Fae items were interesting. <BR/><BR/><I>Caressed by Ice</I> is coming up tonight!<BR/><BR/>Seneca, Oh, you are going to love Mercy. Glad you joined the crowd with this one!<BR/><BR/>Katie, I loved Cade! I don't know what it is, but the combination of the "bad" boy with the "good" girl gets me every time!Jill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10994157783980931093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-50999191838935021702008-07-18T13:50:00.000-04:002008-07-18T13:50:00.000-04:00I've started on the Mercy Thompson series.

I like her writing style.<BR/><BR/>Nath, I know, it seems we have different taste in books. What about <I>Iron Kissed</I> didn't you like?

Sheesh!<BR/><BR/>I read and really liked The Spymaster's Lady, but it wasn't the be all and end all for me that it seemed to be for everyone else.<BR/><BR/>I did love Unlawful Contact. That whole series is just a big winner with me. And I adore her historicals as well.<BR/><BR/>The Cole series hasn't been doing it for me, but I'm not a huge paranormal fan. I tried, though...Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250972350798310498noreply@blogger.com
