What are you reading this summer?
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably got a stack of
paperbacks by your bedside and an electronic device full of ebooks, all of
which you can’t wait to read.
And probably more than 90 percent are part of a series.
I love reading and writing series. There’s a sense of
excitement in returning to the world of a great series. You can’t wait to see
what’s new in this world you’ve grown to love and can’t wait to spend some time
with favorite characters again.
Right now on my Nook, I’m reading Chasing Magic by Stacia
Kane. This is part of the Downside Ghosts series and I’m totally hooked on this
urban fantasy series. Kane’s mix of gritty supernatural plots and deeply flawed
characters you either love or hate is a heady combination. Trust me, you will
fall in love with Terrible, sideburns and all. And even when you want to smack
Chess occasionally, you’ll still root for her to survive.
What I really love about this series, though, is that the
characters continue to change and grow. The world continues to move forward and
change and evolve.
Waiting patiently for me to finish Kane’s book is Shayla
Black’s Embrace Me At Dawn, part of the Doomsday Brotherhood series. These
books are straight-up paranormal romance but Black keeps all her characters as
an integral part of the plot.
Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld is another great
series if you’re looking for super sexy stories with hot men and even hotter
romance. And of course, there’s always JR Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood, if
you’re into huge, hulking, hunky vampires, which, of course, I am.
Not into paranormal? How about Samantha Kane’s Brothers In
Arms series, male/male/female historical erotic romance? Two hot guys for the
price of one. Or Lora Leigh’s Bound Hearts series. Ménage, suspense, hot guys,
super hot sex. Can’t go wrong there.
Which brings me to my newest release. Goddess in the Middle
is the third book in the Forgotten Goddesses series. It’s a male/female/male
erotic paranormal romance with two hot werewolf males, one sweet, sexy goddess
of health and visits with characters from the previous two books in the series,
What A Goddess Wants and How To Worship A Goddess, as well as characters from
previous series, as well.
Sal the salbinelli makes an appearance, as does Cat and
Nortia and Tessa and Lucy and Kyle and… well, you get the point.
As a writer I love creating a world that I get to play in
for more than a few hundred pages. And I love being able to catch up with my
favorite characters again.
So what are you reading this summer?
Wanna read Goddess In The Middle? Leave me a comment about a

love the Breeds! Dawn's Awakening and Coyote's Mate live on my keeper shelf. Lora is such a great storyteller.
Erin, Roarke is definitely the epitome of a romance hero. Love him.
Pat, I know what you mean. I love coming into a series when there's already five or six books available so I can devour them.
Carol, Kenyon has a whole shelf to herself in my library. Thanks for stopping.
Di, Sam from Brockmann's Troubleshooter series is still one of my all-time favorite guys. He's such a great character.
yadkny, that's one I haven't read. will have to look into it. thanks for visiting.
I love paranormal and shifter stories. So a few of my favorite series would be Lora Leigh's Breeds and the Pack and Pride series by Shelly Laurencin.

That's another series I keep meaning to read, Lil. I'll have to give it a shot.
Yes! Cat and Bones are hilarious. Love them, Thanks for stopping Na.
I do read series and I look forward to catching up with characters in subsequent books. I also read stand alones. I try to mix it up when I read. The books I am currently reading are Alexander Outland: Space Pirateby GJ Koch and Matched by Ally Condie. Some of my favorite series include Kushiel's by Jacqueline Carey and Mercy Gundersen by Lori Armstrong. There are many others but those are the first two to come to mind.
