Favorite reads...

At the end of each winter I seem to go through a re reading glom. It's not quite spring, the days are getting longer and lighter and maybe it's the nostalgia of saying goodbye to winter, but I binge on my favorite re reads. So, I thought I'd share a few of the lovely re reads that I've devoured over the past month or so over the next two days.

Bound and Determined by Jane Davitt and Alexa Snow. This is such a sexy BDSM read. I loved it the first time and enjoyed it just as much on the 4th re read! I love the chemistry between Sterling and Owen and the ramping up of tension. It's a little drama and woe, but I liked it a lot!
Hot Head by Damon Suede was a great re read and while I know I have issues with pacing, drama and some of the dialog, there is just something about firemen doing the nasty that floats my boat. Well worth a 2nd read!
Manly by Dale Lazarov and illustrated by Amy Colburn was a gorgeous re read. This was the first piece of work that I'd read from Dale and I really like his books. It's sexy, smart and I just loved this art work in particular, it's incredibly appealing.
Collision Course by KA Mitchell, seriously, I've re read this book so many times it's ridiculous. I'm at the point where I can quote bits. I need to get out more. It's just not healthy!
Finally, my ultimate winter re read is Lord of the White Hell 1 & 2. Magic. These books just get better and better and I seriously want the author to write more. In fact, please Miss Hale WRITE ME SOME MORE WHITE HELL (I'm shouting, cause my voice has to get all the way from here in NZ to her over there in the US... heh)

So, what have you re read over the winter/summer? Any suggestions?

Comfort Reads 1.

Reading is one thing at the moment that I find comfort in. When work and family problems mean I'm lacking sleep and feeling petty crabby, reading seems to keep me from climbing the clock tower. In the last couple of weeks I've turned to my comfort reads. Books that I've read a gazillion times and that I can just curl up with in front of the fire. It's freezing at the moment!

My most recent comfort reads have been the Chicago Stars series by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. It seems silly to just mention one book when I've devoured two in the last 24 hours! Nobody's Baby But Mine and It Had To Be You. I just adore the whole series.

I think what appeals most is her unabashedly masculine characters who act like jerks. Don't ask me why. Maybe it's the big muscles or possibly it's the whole football thing. I am such a sucker for sports romance, even when they behave badly. Crazy, I know. But they make me smile just a bit with all their posturing and grumbling.

They've made me laugh, forget my troubles and escape for just a little while. Does anyone else have a favourite Chicago Stars novel??
