    I’ve been on the romantic suspense kick for most of July. I would definitely recommend:

    any Kaylea Cross book
    a new to me author Nina Bruhns
    The Men Who Walk The Edge of Honor Series by Lori Foster (the 3rd book Savor the Danger came out in July and *fans self* WOW)

    Yay for Kaylea Cross. I’ve only read No Turning Back but really enjoyed it.

    And I’ve never read Bruhns….but Helyce reviewed her most recent and it caught my interest.

    And I swear I will read Savor. Really. I mean it. ;)

    ***wink*** Mandi-so many books, not enough time! Savor was fun, but you gotta read the KA Mitchell books that YOU told me about-how is it that I read them first???? And Shades of Gray and all he Amy Lanes….k, I’ll stop now.

    Yes Tori, Chase and Ava blew me away. Love, love, loved it!

    I read it in July, but technically it came out in June (6/28)… But my favorite read from July was Spectyr by Pip Ballantine!

    Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue. I had read “Room” by this author and found it unbelievable, sometimes a girl needs a break from romance :) hee hee….So I picked up Slammerkin. It’s a little different from what I usually like I prefer a hot male, awesome smexy scenes and a very happy ending but even without those exact things this book was great.

    My discovery for July was definately L.J. McDonald and her Sylph series. Fantasy books, and next month the third full lenght novel will be released.

      I read a short in an anthology by this author and enjoyed it. I really need to read this series.
