And as long as I'm popping out of lurkdom, I thought I'd post about some of
the books I've read lately.

I have to agree with Cheryl St. John, Gayle Wilson is a must buy.  The
Bride's Protector was a gripping story that kept me glued to my seat,
flipping pages as fast as possible! Not only do I buy all her new works, I'm
backlisting as fast as I can.  Her McCullar brother triology hooked me, and
each new book just reconvinces me of what a wonderful writer she is!

I was lucky enough to get a copy of Cheryl St. John's For This Week I Thee
Wed.  If this book is any indication of what the new  Duet line will be
featuring, we're all in for a treat!  Francie has a reunion coming up and she
needs . . . a husband and some kids asap!  Luckily Ryan has the makings for a
temporary husband, he even comes with kids included.  He's just what she
needs, and it might turn out that she's just what he needs as well!

I finally took the time to read Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Lady Be Good, and
wondered how I managed to wait so long!  A Lady, with a capital L, and a
golfer . . . another odd pairing that totally delighted me and kept me
chuckling for days!

Laura Gordon's, A Cowboy's Honor, was just another example of what this
talented lady can do.  Wether she's Laura Gordon or Laura DeVries, she's one
of my favorites.  Every time I turn around she's winning another award, and
every one of them is well deserved!

I don't know if I mentioned Jo Ann Ross's Homefront last time I posted, but
WOW.  I love her category, but am finding her ST's are adding an entirely new
dimension to her writing.  The longer format means her characters simply come
to life!  My shelves are creaking with all her keepers (and they're all
keepers), but I'm always first in line for a new release!

And if you haven't discovered Laura Baker yet, run don't walk to the
bookstore.  I met her at a conference and picked up her book, Legend.  Her
characters lept from the page and right into my heart.   A Navajo legend
comes to life and strikes fear into a community.  Aiini is a heroine who must
find the strength to overcome this demon.  Jackson is the law enforcement
officer who stumbles into a world he never wanted to return to, a world he
doesn't understand.  What he does understand is Aiini moves him in ways he
never thought possible.

Holly - slinking back to her work now!
