Filling In...Pink Buttercream Frosting

Surprised to see me, aren't ya? You were expecting the every witty and charming Mari and hopefully a little snippet of Hot Body, huh? I know. But, Mari is in deadline hell and working very very hard on edits and so she graciously begged me to take her spot today. grins... As if begging were needed. Afterall, I had another book come out this month. Yesterday to be exact so guess what that means? You got it! Promo. Again.

However, not just promo of my book, but of others that came out yesterday that I want to read. I don't have a lot of time to read. So, I am choosy with what I do want. Some fabulous series books were released yesterday and I commented on Nikki Duncan's blog today where she was hosting R.G. Alexander. R.G.'s release yesterday was the 4th in her series and when I read her post, I started thinking. I don't read series books usually. Why? Because I'm damn impatient. I want the next book NOW. And oftentimes we're left waiting for either 3 to 6 months or 6 months to more than a year. I don't want to wait that long. What I have found that I do though, is I will wait until 2 o 3 of the series have been released and then I'll go back and pick them all up at the same time.

That all being said, I do want to read some of these series and others.

The Seeking Kiss by Eden Bradley

I want to read this because well, I don't pass up on reading anything Eden writes.

Trinity by Lauren Dane

This one...a funny comment during a sex scene about Target. Yes, the store.

Bound and Determined by Jane Davitt and Alexa Snow

BDSM and male/male. 'Nuff said.

Dancing with Danger by Desiree Holt

Well, now, just look at the cover. I'm a sucker for black and white covers. Well, and the story looks yummy.
