The idea of someone “catching” me reading is a silly one. As my husband once said, “Every time I turn around, Chris, you have another book in your hands.” Ah, yeah, guilty as charged. I can’t help it. I feel lost without a book to read. May is Get Caught Reading Month, but really, I’d be caught reading every single day. I think many writers are this way. At least I hope so. I don’t have bookaholism, do I? I’m not alone in my reading addiction, right? Well, even if I am, I like this obsession and I’m sticking with it.
In this post, I’ve included several books I’ve recently
finished, so if you need a book to get caught reading, maybe you can pick up
one of these.
1. Hearts in Darkness – Laura Kaye – An interesting take on the whole getting-to-know-you
set up in a romance novel. Two people,
who have had only moments to see each other, are suddenly trapped together in a
pitch black elevator. I have to say, I always take the stairs, but reading this
book made me want to chance riding in the elevator if I could meet a dude like
the hero Kaye developed.
2. North of Need – Laura Kaye – Yeah, okay, so I’ve become a Laura Kaye fan. This book
takes the Frosty the Snowman turning real idea to a whole new level. Loved
everything about this book from beginning to end. Can’t wait to get her next
one, West of Want.
3. Sweet Magik – Penny Watson – This is a Christmas-themed novel, but I’d read it any
time of year. As with the hero in Hearts in Darkness, Watson’s hunk is so damn
sexy and lovable. I wished he were real! Her first book in this series, Sweet
Inspiration was also awesome.
4. Until There Was You – Kristan Higgins – What to say, what to say…Oh, just go and read
EVERYTHING by Kristan Higgins. You won’t be disappointed. Her books are
adorable. I smile through every page I read.
5. Moon Dance – J.R. Rain – I just discovered this guy. He’s got a fresh take on the
vampire ordeal with his private investigator character, Samantha Moon. She was
attacked by a vampire while being a federal agent, was turned, and is now
sorting through what her life has become. I plan to read the other books in
this series.
So, these are just some suggestions that I’ve enjoyed
recently. They all have romance in them, but to varying degrees. Enjoy and let me know if you've read any of them.
What do you recommend for me to read?

I never have enough time to read anymore.:( I used to read 2 books a week. Now it's more like two a month. These sound like some good ones!
Like Jannine, my reading time has dwindled. I only get to read at night, in bed. I've read both of Laura Kaye's books, too, and loved them. To support my fellow Roses, I only read books by TWRP, except for anything new by Jill Shalvis and Linda Lael Miller. As a suggestion, if you haven't read Jannine's recent NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, you're missing out on a great novella, well done with a neat twist.
Thanks, Vonnie, I'm blushing. LOL Might I add, I think all the novellas out there is a great new trend. When you don't have a lot of time to read, they're quick and pack a punch.
