10 New Books!

The past friday, 29th June 2007, was the day when 2 major bookstores are offering discounts storewide. And it's also the day I made my record of buying the most books in a day.

Showing off what I got in the order I took from the shelves:

Suite Fantasy by Janice Maynard

I read her novella in Wildest Dreams. Loved it, wanted more, got this book, am very happy now.

The Art of Seduction by Katherine O'Neal

I was so happy to see The Art of Seduction! It's supposed to be out on Feb'07, so I expected to see the book on the shelves latest by April (it takes approx. 1-2 mths for books released in the states to reach major bookstores here in lil' Singapore), but I had to wait 4 months! Till end June. Begining July. Argh.

Immortal Bad Boys
by Rebecca York, Rosemary Laurey, Linda Thomas-Sundstrom

I saw this book a long time ago on the shelves, but didn't buy it because I wasn't into paranomals. But it's a different story now.

Bad Girl Bridesmaids by Susanna Carr

When I lay my fingers on this book, I was silently screaming in my head: "OMG! OMG! OMG!OH YES! OH YES! OMG! OH YES! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! OMG! OMG!" and so on.

Bled Dry by Erin McCarthy

I love the cover art. I love Erin McCarthy's Vegas Vampires. The first two books in the series are already the best damn funny vampire books I've ever read.

Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind by Karen Kelly

Read the excerpt for this? It's so damn hilarious. Karen Kelly did mention on her blog quite some time ago that she may write about a dark vampire. I'm so looking forward to that!

Bad Boys with Red Roses
by Janelle Denison, Tina Donahue, Sharon Cullars

The title always gives me an image of a man in tuxedo holding a red rose (or a bouquet would be nice).

What She Craves by Lacy Danes

It's a historial romance, not obvious from the sexy cover. Luckily I came across the sexy excerpt, if not I might not have wanted to buy this book yet. It's shrink-wrapped too. I wish all books on the stores are shrink-wrapped so I don't have to waste time scrutinizing all copies to find one that isn't destroyed by the rough-handling by inconsiderate browsers.

Pleasures of the Night by Sylvia Day

I saw Alluring Tales first (an anothology with Sylvia Day in it too), but I placed it back on the shelf after I spotted this book. Because I was really, really tired carrying 9 books in my hand by now. Alluring Tales can wait.

Dipped in Chocolate by Renee Luke

It's a sexy book with chocolates mentioned, why shouldn't I get this?

--------------------

Lastly, my arms/hands/fingers hurt bad carrying 10 trade paperbacks home.

It's Donahue Donahue Donahue!

What made me buy this book? Probably the phrase on the cover, C'mon, I dare you.

To research his latest film, he’s spending three full days (and nights) in a lush, tropical paradise with sensual survival expert Ariel Leigh.

I love reading about Cole and Ariel's three full days (and nights) together. This is what I like in romances, having the hero and heroine together all the time, every single damn moment.

I love reading about how their relationship developed over these days, love reading how they feel about each about, love their little concerns for each other during that time, it's repeatedly frustratedingn to read the words "I love you/falling in love with you/blah blah love you blah blah" appearing only in italics instead of being between double quotation marks.

And I think I fell in love with Ariel's uncle:

"... I suggest you pursue her as she's never been pursued before. And if you're able to catch up with her, I suggest that this time you tell her what's in your heart."

Oh, the ending has got to be the most unique ending of all endings I've ever read. Did I say I love Ariel's uncle? The idea that he makes Cole sweat it out to look for Ariel is just awesome! The reuniting part is just sweet, sweet, sweet, and I thought it was really a torture for Ariel to keep hearing Cole's voice but thinking that she's dreaming. But still, what a memory it would be for Ariel, and what a story to tell the children and grandchildren. I read the ending a million times and each time never fails to put tears in my eyes.

The Mysterious Men of May.

Don't you think the covers for the up-coming Brava releases for May have something in common? One of the hunk should try to go topless too. But I'm not really complaing.

I just love the Bad Boys branding. Can't wait to read another one. What happened to Wicked Women anyway?
