Sarah's DIK books.

Hi! I am Sarah and I have a blog called Rain on the Roof. I started my blog back in April after spending loads of time lurking at Nose in a Book and The Naughty Bits. I really enjoy blogging. It is loads of fun and as a result I have read so many books and comics AND I've also got to peruse some seriously smokin art!

I've been lucky enough to do some very cool interviews with several incredible artists and writer Laura Baumbach. I think one of my favorites was Patrick Fillion (there be large male members in this post NWS) who writes and illustrates gay erotic comics. He owns his own company called Class Comics and he is gorgeous not to mention a very really lovely guy! He was so funny to yak to and has kept encouraging me to play Star Wars - Force Unleashed on the PS3, even though I suck at this game! I keep falling off a balcony into the middle of the Death Star. hehe. I also loved interviewing Mike, who does erotic art for publications like Men Magazine. His story was so very personal and heartfelt, he is super cool. In fact, they have all been cool and Laura is so eloquent, she rocks! I have more coming and one in particular I am very excited about! Stay tuned!

So, now that I have worked out what time it is over thar, (I am reliably informed we’re like 17 hours ahead) best I get on with it and share my novels I chose all those months ago!

1st up is Dream Man by Linda Howard. She is, IMHO, the 1st lady of romance! She has been on my keeper shelf for donkeys years. Dream Man is a paranormal about Marlie who has these waking dreams about violent deaths. She can see through the eyes of the criminal and has been used in the past by law enforcement to help solve cases. Her last case was terrifying and traumatic so when the story begins she has kinda retired. Then the visions come back. There are some rather gruesome murders and she has a bit of a job trying to convince the local cops she’s the real deal. One particular asshat is Dane, our hero. Despite being a real hardass and just a bit of a shit he is happily wound around Marlies wee finger. He is very butch and I liked it a lot!

Mr Perfect is a once a year re read, simply for the kitchen scene. In fact I can probably just skip a few chapter and flick straight to it. Sam, naked in the kitchen, with our resident voyeur Jaine watching him from her house. It is a cool book and Sam the cop was a total hottie and rather memorable.

The Tin Star by JL Langley is such a great read because is made me feel so much better after seeing Broke Back Mountain. I know it is a great story, tragic, beautiful but hello depressing, much! The Tin Star is the kind of cowboy story that totally appeals to me. Jamie is one of my favorite characters, he is such a hottie and he rides horses, fixes fences and drives a truck and stuff!! Manly, sweaty cowboy types. Merow! I liked this book so much I have a paperback copy. And, it is freaking hot! You should also try Longhorns by Victor J. Banis.

My next book, The Englor Affair by JL Langley, was a bit of a cheeky selection, as it has not even come out yet! But, I am so hanging out for November when it does! This is the 2nd book in the series, the 1st being My Fair Captain. These are awesome books and who would have thought a m/m, sci fi, regency romance would be so good? This excerpt for TEA is particularly delicious, from the Fiction with Friction blog.

My last book was Dream a little dream by Susan Elizabeth Philips. Gabe has that whole damaged hero thing happening, which floats my boat. I do like SEP and often re read her Chicago Stars series.

Finally, if my handbag was like the Tardis, I’d also take the Leashed seires by Jet Mykles, cause it is a seriously sexy paranormal menage and there is much loving going on between our 2 heroes (so hot) and heroine. Noice! I’d also stuff pretty much anything by Youka Nitta in there! Her Embracing Love series is sublime!

Have a goovy Thursday and tune in same time (I think??) tomorrow for my special guest star personage, the seriously cool Gennita Low.

PS. My replies to any comments might be a little belated. I am usually asleep when you lot are up, or at work. But, I'd love to know what you all think and if you've read any of the above. Smooches from NZ. x x x
