Love series books for the reason that you connect with the characters so much that you just don't want to let go. What I don't like, and I've just had a recent encounter with one fav Paranormal series, is that at the end you feel unfulfilled because the tension and conflict and all those wonderful things that grip you aren't Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-76472694128022468582012-05-07T19:00:37.195-07:002012-05-07T19:00:37.195-07:00Congrats on the new release!

It might be kinda to keep things fresh in each book when doing linked/family stories, but it can really be great to read the updates on past fav couples. I can't say that there is anything that I've come across that I hate in any kind of series. <br /><br />yadkny@hotmail.com*yadkny*https://www.blogger.com/profile/11009997492532854307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-68120669673787826552012-05-07T14:26:32.412-07:002012-05-07T14:26:32.412-07:00Thank you for your post and giveaway, Paula.
I...Thank you for your post and giveaway, Paula.<br /><br />I'll read series novels if they're loosely connected and can stand alone. If they're so closely connected that the story isn't resolved at the end, or we must read previous volumes to make sense of the sequels, I'll probably give them a pass.<br /><br />Clearly series are useful to the readers in giving them an idea of Mary Anne Landershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846610621610508819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-86365966907945578292012-05-07T14:17:40.755-07:002012-05-07T14:17:40.755-07:00Hi Paula,

Congratulations of the release of this ...Hi Paula,<br /><br />Congratulations of the release of this latest book. I love series that deal with a central theme and are written by various authors. I think the Diamonds Down Under was the first series to do this. Later, a group of authors wrote a Regency set series called Silk and Scandal. I think there were 7 or 8 books by various authors in the series. Great idea. <br /><br />I Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732638672537005826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-17393434197608525382012-05-07T06:01:13.101-07:002012-05-07T06:01:13.101-07:00Hi Paula ~ I like series where family or friends g...Hi Paula ~ I like series where family or friends get their own books.
