The Raven Prince - Part 2 - Finished!

• Whywhywhy do I have to read this book on a weekday?

• Ending is kinda abrupt for me. I want more. The next book?
  

• The Raven Prince is actually my second historical read for this year. Gosh, what happen between me and historicals? I love them so much when I first discovered romance novels. But then I prefer medievals. Hard to find really goods ones though... Jill Barnett destroyed all other medieval romances for me.

• Back to the book: Poor, poor Edward when *spoiler?* Anna left him (albeit temporary). Though I like how Iddesleigh came to "rescue" him from his self-pity, I do wish Edward gets to wallow in self-pity longer. I love reading about his thoughts of him & Anna ♥. But it's just me.

• Thank you bloggers in Romancelandia for mentioning/reviewing The Raven Prince until I took enough notice of it to try it for no good enough reason. Thank you too, to my own randomness in choosing books. Mistress to the Merciless Millionaire, you are next. And no my dear, it's never random with you.☺

The Raven Prince - Part 1

• I'm about three-quarter through The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt. Whao.
  

• I LOVE Anna and Edward, LOVE them. LOVE their "arguments". And yes, they're pretty flaming in bed :)
  

• Favorite part so far? I have too many favorite parts. I love it the most when Edward and Anna are together. When they first met (how the book started), their moments with the dog, when Edward got rose bushes for Anna, when Edward agrees to go the soiree because of Anna, when Edward blah-blah-blah for Anna... every part with the two of them together. Really ♥. I thought the book was going downhill for me when Edward first goes to London (*gasp* alone! Are they gonna be separated for the rest of the story?). But luckily Anna caught up pretty quick. And my enjoyment had been all the way up there so far.
  

• I enjoyed the many times when Edward says *maybe spoiler?* that they (he and Anna) are getting married. I love it when he (kinda) works for it, keeps mentioning it, and Anna kept saying no. I think it's cute☺.

• Edward ♥. The earl, not the glittering vampire.
  

ABBY GREEN - The Spaniard's Marriage Bargain.

• I ♥ Abby Green.

• I finished reading The Spaniard's Marriage Bargain, and *sigh*. I so love the making up at the end. The conversations. The hero's/heroine's apology/grovelling speech just awes me. It' so elaborate. You know, like it completely explains everything, why they felt this way, why this, why that, when, how, blah... wow. It's not just "I'm sorry, pls forgive me, I love you, marry me." It's oh-so-much MORE. The character just completely opens up. Wow really. Really wow. Makes me feel very satisfied. Very.
  

• I want her next book please.

Hard As Nails rant, and some blahs.

• Hard As Nails - Yay finished the book. Love every conversation. It just makes you want to read on and on and on. The wit can just go on and on and on... and Cole's story is my fav. I fell in love with it since the word "sledgehammer".
  

• Not that I've read a lot of younger men with older women stories (and not that I'm always looking for those kinds), but there are just some authors who just can write and make you enjoy those themes/whatever that you don't really care about.
  

• Just ordered Mistress to the Merciless Millionaire by Abby Green ♥. Go buy a copy too.

• I was just thinking about the darn-long-awaited book by Sarah McCarty, and so I went to check out her website and whoa, updated? Really? OMG.
  

Current read, new book, old books..

• Continuing with HelenKay Dimon's Hard As Nails. It's gooooood. Cole ♥. Now onto Adam.
  

• Tasting Fear arrived. *Checks calender for a good weekend to read it. *

• I've got a number of favourite books with pages getting... old. Brown. Yellowish. Spots breaking out (whatever you call them). I've thought about selling them and then buying new ones again online.
  

Previous read, current read, and blahs.

• I loove Mary McBride's Baby, Baby, Baby. I can't stop thinking about the arctic white part. That was when I knew for SURE I was going to enjoy the rest of the book.
  

• I ordered Tasting Fear (oh yeah baybeh) and can't WAIT for it to arrive.

• *Visits Shannon McKenna's website* Nope, nothing new.

• Currently reading HelenKay Dimon's Hard As Nails. It's about time. I'm still at the beginning, stopping at where Cole's "lower half took charge". ☺ Why I stopped? Because it's just too good for me to continue reading on stressful weekdays. This weekend is so reserved for this. Dammit. I hate stopping. Shouldn't even have started it yesterday. Argh.

• Bye August 2009. I wish for more relaxing times in Sept for reading.

• Wait, favourite August read? Abby Green's Bought for the Frenchman's Pleasure. Duh.

This Friday's Point Form.

• Sometimes I wish, how I feel about a book will be magically put in words whenever I click on "New Post" for this blog.
• Sandra Hyatt's Having the Billionaire's Baby - an almost perfect-for-me book. Definitely interested to try her next book.
  
• Perfect-for-me books: Abby Green's.
• Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I'm not finding enough pretty book covers that I really like to fill up my Book Covers Bar.
• I love typing in point forms. So easy.
• Next book to read? Maybe Abby Gaines.
• Favourite book read in July? Abby Green - Chosen As The Frenchman's Bride. Love. The. Ending.
  

Bought for the Frenchman's Pleasure.

When I was reading the first page of Bought for the Frenchman's Pleasure, all I can think about it that I couldn't WAIT to get to the end. Sorry for the repetition, but I really love Abby Green's endings, and everything that leads to it. ♥

*Spoilers* What's so great about this ending? The running! Love it when Sorcha runs after Romain who is driving away after she sort of rejected him. Not only that, I love the revelation later Romain had meant to go back and make Sorcha see that she love him. Hee! Love it. *End Spoilers*

And thus, *repetition warning* I really want to read another Abby Green book. I hope she writes fast. Really fast.

Red-Hot and Royal and oh yeah!

I started August with Red-Hot and Royal. ♥



There're three couples in it, and my fav prince? Zain. Aww, Zain is soo sweet, he just can't get enough of Lauren. No auspicious date for wedding? Well, FIND one! ☺ Love the whole book. It's so modern and fairytale-ish.

Have I mentioned that I have all of Susanna Carr's books?
