If you're looking for something very different (different for me, anyway), I'd recommend first looking at Kresely Cole and Nalini Singh. I don't know why they strike me as so different than a lot of the books I've read, but they just seem to stand out, for some reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397186280973403909.post-45048501479658020282009-01-03T04:20:00.000-06:002009-01-03T04:20:00.000-06:00I haven't read the Merry Gentry ones yet, I starte...I haven't read the Merry Gentry ones yet, I started one a few years ago, and it didn't grab me right away, so I put it down and haven't picked it back up. Maybe I should try reading it again and see if that has changed. I'll have to see if The Science Fiction Book Club is going to have <I>Skin Trade</I> when it comes out (that's usually where I order my books, if I don't buy them in paperback). I'll check out booksfree.com too, that's sounds like an interesting website.vesta44https://www.blogger.com/profile/15480692717585745934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397186280973403909.post-15958386517510938622009-01-03T04:16:00.000-06:002009-01-03T04:16:00.000-06:00I love the Anita Blake books--even after Obsidian ...I love the Anita Blake books--even after Obsidian Butterfly when the Doomcrotch took over the series. :) I'm excited for "Skin Trade" in June! Have you read her Merry Gentry series? Even more sex, but also a lot of fun.<BR/><BR/>I have two Dark Hunter books on the way to me from Booksfree.com, I'm excited to read them.purplegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952678339075163056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397186280973403909.post-20633657223563152302009-01-03T04:12:00.000-06:002009-01-03T04:12:00.000-06:00Susan Sizemore is another author who does supernat...Susan Sizemore is another author who does supernatural romances, she's also very good. I haven't read all of the authors you listed, I'm going to have to look for them now :)<BR/>Supernatural romances are becoming popular enough that Harlequin now has their own line of them, called Nocturne. I've read a few of them, but they seem rather formulaic to me, which is one of the reasons I quit reading anything by Harlequin years ago.vesta44https://www.blogger.com/profile/15480692717585745934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397186280973403909.post-4685149122090510902009-01-03T03:01:00.000-06:002009-01-03T03:01:00.000-06:00Yay, your taste in books is pretty much parallel t...Yay, your taste in books is pretty much parallel to mine (at least, the paranormal romance part, and I'm also a sucker for the historical romances). I never got into Christine Feehan, because something about her books just got too repetitive for me, and though I don't read them anymore, LKH's books are what originally got me into the genre. I've been meaning forever to get into Kenyon and Harrison's books (I think I read one book by Kim Harrison, on loan from a friend, and really enjoyed it). I think my lasting favorites for the genre are Lynsay Sands and Katie MacAlister, and Kresley Cole(awesome series) since those are the only three I can think of who have never come out with a book I didn't like. Others, who I am either currently 'on', or have paused reading, waiting for books to be released, or who I liked for awhile, but eventually tired of the series (bad habit for me) are: J.R. Ward, Lara Adrian, Nalini Singh(really good!), Jaquelyn Frank, Lynne Viehl, Alexandra Ivy, and Larissa Ione.<BR/><BR/>And, re: seeing the book in your head? Totally what I do as well. I am just happy that most of the books I read don't tend to get made into movies, though I get irked with the few that do. xDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
