As the sizzling chemistry between them erupts in one mind-blowing encounter after another, Montana finds that Steele has a knack for knocking down her defenses and seeing through to the vulnerable core she's tried so hard to hide. Once a pro poker player, now a renowned business troubleshooter, Steele came to Black Creek to give investors a covert report on the spa's potential - not to give its gorgeous owner such very personal attention. And once she learns the truth about why he's there, Steele stands to lose Montana forever. Convincing her that the heat between them is more than a diversion means taking the biggest gamble of his life. But Steele has never been known to take the easy way out - and he's not about to start now.

Shane would never turn his back on a friend in need, especially a former Special Forces teammate running a dangerous, off-the-books operation. Nor can he walk away from Crystal. The gorgeous waitress is hiding secrets she doesn't want him to uncover. Too bad. He's exactly the man she needs to protect her sister, her life and her heart. All he has to do is convince her that when something feels this good, you hold on as hard as you can - and never let go.

After a childhood spent in and out of hospitals, she's now determined to prove herself - and where better to take the world by storm than Manhattan? But when Paige loses the job she loves, she must face her biggest challenge of all - going it alone.

In the AFC Championship game against Denver, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got in the game. With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go. Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock and, of course, was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams. But all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent, Arnie, find a team that needs him. Against enormous odds Arnie finally locates just such a team and informs Rick that, miraculously, he can in fact now be a starting quarterback - for the mighty Panthers of Parma, Italy. Yes, Italians do play American football, to one degree or another, and the Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player - any former NFL player - at their helm. So Rick reluctantly agrees to play for the Panthers - at least until a better offer comes along - and heads off to Italy. He knows nothing about Parma, has never been to Europe, and doesn't speak or understand a word of Italian. To say that Italy holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.

So why does he find himself entertaining his new wife's desire to stay married - and fantasizing about a real wedding night? As Copper Ridge's prospective mayor, Lydia can't risk a divorce scandal so close to election time. But pretending to be blissfully in love with her new husband is more confusing than she'd thought.

Currently Reading:

Capital City by Mari Sandoz.  Really like some of Sandoz other books and finally getting to this one.

Patty Jane's House of Curl by Lorna Landvik, just getting started

Finished:

The Turk and My Mother by Mary Helen Stefaniak.  Written as a kind of family history that starts before WWI with the family in Hungary.  One son leaves for America with wife left behind expecting.  After war wife & family move to America.  A son left behind had ended up in army and lost in WWI from family.  He eventually ends up on Siberia before returning to Hungary with a wife and family.  Really interesting characters and story.

Napoleon's Hemorrhoids and Other Small Events that Changed History by Phil Mason.  Short sometimes 1 or 2 paragraphs about things that happened in history that if had gone differently, well who knows. Fun kind of what if stuff.  Good quick easy read.

Drone Threat by Mike Maden.  Part of a series by author with drone's as the main component.  Okay series & an okay book.  I don't really understand some of the leaps of faith that the characters take but oh well.  Still entertaining but not great.

Hikikomori and the Rental Sister by Jeff Backhaus.  Really good read and something different than the typical book.  A young father's son is killed & he blames himself.  He locks himself into a bedroom for 3+ years and avoids everyone, only sneeking out at night for food & magazines.  Wife hires a young Japanese woman to be a hikikomori--rental sister--to help get husband back into the world.  

The Genesis Secret by Tom Knox.  Discoveries in Turkey/Syria area--Kurdistan, bad guys in Great Britain.  Both these story lines come together but still not all that enjoyable.  Oh well.

What Was I Thinking?  58 Bad Boyfriend Stores edited by Barbara Davilman and Liz Dubelman.  Very short page to a couple page entries about bad boyfriend or at least boyfriends that did something that the girlfriend couldn't get over and eventually caused the end of the relationship.  Some good some not so good, most kind of light humor.  Seemed as if about everyone of the writers was from west or east coast though.  Oh well nothing too bad but not really memorable either.

NYPD Red 2   James Patterson

Don't Put Me in Coach   Mark Titus

The Snow Child    Eowyn Ivey

Finished Archetype, and am reading Prototype (the sequel).  I am really enjoying this series by a young woman - very young.  It's not YA either.  I am also listening to the prequel to the Shanarra series.  I'm not that fond of the author.  I am tempted to hold back one of my new listed books for next time, The Last American Vampire by Seth Grahame-Smith, to read it first.  It's sounds pretty good.

I couldn't stay with that Terry Brooks book - so I went onto Hild by Nicola Griffin.  It's too soon to say if I will like it or not.

Lord-a-mercy, Hild is most difficult to follow because it's in 3 different accents (ancient).  It's 30 hours long.  I'm still hanging in there, but I did finish Prototype and am on to Dust and Light by Carol Berg.

Judye

Another good book by this author.   

 I Survived the Eruption of Mount St. Helens, 1980 (I Survived, Bk 14)  : Lauren Tarshis

Finished this month:  Virtue Falls by Christina Dodd --- A new author to me and from what I read this is a departure from her other books.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will look for more of Dodd's along this line. Several severe earthquakes hit Virtue Falls and geologist, Elizabeth Banner, is there to study and record them.  She's following in her father's footsteps in her line of work, but not in what she's always believed happened when she was a child. Her father has been in prison for 26 years for killing her mother and Elizabeth has always believed she saw him do it.  But did she really? A real page-turner

The Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber Tree by Susan Wittig Albert -- Love this new series by Albert!  The Dahlias are the garden club of Darling, Alabama during the depression of the 1930s.  Along the same line as Albert's China Bayles series in that the ladies find themselves investigating not only a death, but what's going on with the local bank. A fun read and I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.

Double-Booked for Death by Ali Brandon--- Darla Pettistone has inherited her great-aunt's bookstore in Brooklyn, NY, along with Hamlet, a black cat who has a definite mind of his own. A famous author has been booked for an autograph signing at the store and when hundreds of teen-age girls and a lone protester show up things happen; not what Darla was hoping for. First of this series.

The Darling Dahlias and the Naked Ladies by Susan Wittig Albert --- A really fun read about Darling, Alabama during the 1930s.  The Darling Dahlias are the garden club ladies and they seem to always be in the midst of whatever is going on in their little town.  When two newcomers show up rumors start flying, especially when it's discovered they once performed in vaudeville as the Naughty and Nice Sisters.

Skin Deep by Nora Roberts --- A quick read, one of Roberts' earlier books. Chantel O'Hurley is a movie star who's being stalked. As the letters and calls become more threatening, she hires Quinn Doran to find out who the stalker is.

Without A Trace by Nora Roberts--- A follow-up to Skin Deep about Chantel's missing brother.  Gillian Fitzpatrick hunts down Trace O'Hurley in Mexico to help her find her brother and niece who have been kidnapped. A quick read.

Antiques Flee Market by Barbara Allen---Brandy Borne and her mother, Vivian, seem to find themselves caught up in another murder investigation. Always a fun read.

North of Nowhere by Steve Hamilton--- I really like this series.  Each book grabs you from the beginning and doesn't let up. Alex McKnight goes to play poker with a friend to a man's house that he doesn't know and ends up face down on the floor as 3 men pull off a robbery. When the friend is arrested as an accomplice, Alex sets out to find the real robbers, and that's when it really gets interesting!

Currently reading:  The Tenth Justice by Brad Meltzer [Started this and couldn't get into it, so I've been reading other books instead.  But I will eventually get back to it].

Currently Reading:  The Gravity of Birds

Finished:

Glory Road by Robert Heinlein. I cannot express how much I loved this book. It was so wonderously fun. I do love a good fantasy adventure and i enjoyed all the characters immensly.

The Lucy Variations by Sara Zara. Young adult novel about a piano prodigy that loses her drive and finds her way back to music. It was light and fun but I think it did a good job of bringing back to my teen angst years.

Cherry by Mary Karr. It's her second memoir, the first being The Liar's Club. I enjoyed the first one so I thought I would check out the second one. She has a nice style and when I read her stuff it feels like I'm listening to an old friend tell stories.

An Hour before Daylight by Jimmy Carter. a memoir.

Jeanne, I'd be interested in how you liked The Snow Child.  I listened to that a couple of years ago.  Debra Monk narrated and she was darn good.  Odd sort of book, I thought.

This is becoming one of my best ever reading months!  Lots of real page turners.

Just started listening to "The Snowman" by Jo Nesbo. Good 

Bonnie-The Snow Child left me sort of scratching my head. I liked the book is what I finally decided but it was a bit strange. I usually don't do well with fantasy but this book wasn't too much for me. I am glad that I read it.

Jeanne,  I think I liked it so much because of the narrator.   I like Debra Monk no matter what she is doing.

Daryl, this sounds really good,  Hikikomori and the Rental Sister by Jeff Backhaus.  I just might look into getting a copy.
