Reader's Addiction

"I've traveled the world twice over, Met the famous; saints and sinners, Poets and artists, kings and queens, Old stars and hopeful beginners, I've been where no-one's been before, Learned secrets from writers and cooks All with one library ticket To the wonderful world of books. " ~Anonymous ~

I went back and counted the books that I read during the month of January, shocked myself, which I do reviews for several sites as well as reading for pleasure. I read 9 POD books and 7 EBOOKS, that's 16 books. Talk about an addiction. And so far for this month I have finished two books from Harlequin and one EBOOK from Denyse'. I seriously think I have a reader's addiction.

If you know me then you know I love a man with an accent. If you agree you have to check out Devil of the Highlands BY Lynsay Sands. The Scottish laird may be cold and deadly, but the heat he inspires within Evelinde is untamable.

The Wild Rose Press has some good releases too this month. Such as my favorite read thus far,

"This is your lucky night. I just happen to be wearing black silk boxers." That was exactly the kind of confirmation Lydia Carmichael was looking for. Proof positive that the drop-dead gorgeous date provided by Mr. Complete Escort Services was a gigolo. All she had to do was lure that bad boy into her bed and she'd put the slimeballs out of business. But Lydia soon learned she wasn't cut out for this kind of under-the-covers work. Luke was not only hot with a capital H, he was also a considerate, caring man. As she discovered, there was a lot more beneath the surface than his sexy underwear and she found herself wanting to leave her tidy white-cotton life behind. If her secret wishes could come true, their bought-and-paid-for beginning would lead to a happily-ever-after ending that had nothing to do with money and everything to do with love.
