Thursday's Who I'm Reading - Sydell Voeller

If "sweet romances" are what you crave to read, this author has a number of books to fill that need. I haven't read all her books but the ones I've read I've enjoyed. The interesting thing here is that I've been reading some of her stories this past week and she's up tomorrow and Saturday talking about writing and giving a taste of one of her books. We also share a background in Nursing.

You can find Sydell's books here. http://www.amazon.com/Sydell-Voeller/e/B001JRZ0DU/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1348148311&sr=1-2-ent

Of her books I've read I'm torn between The Fisherman's Daughter and Her Sister's Keeper for my favorites. There are still a few more to read so maybe I'll find a different book of hers that will take me into a world where love is sweet.

Thursday's Who I'm Reading = Wendy Marcus

As a former nurse and a writer who has been known to write medical romances, lately I've been reading Wendy Marcus' step into the world of the hospital. You can find her books here http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_12?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=wendy+marcus&sprefix=Wendy+Marcus%2Caps%2C131

Though Wendy has written three so far, I'm sure there are more stories that will enthrall readers who love to read about nurses and doctors, or just nurses and the choices they make both in and out of the hospital. Of the three I've read, Once a Good Girl is my favorite but the other two aren't far behind in the favorite category.

So if you like nurses as heroines, try one of Wendy's. Sit backm read and enjoy.

Who I'm Reading - Charmaine Gordon by Janet Lane Walters

Lately I've been reading several books by a friend and critique partner, Charmaine Gordon. While I heard parts of these stories in the critique group I haven't read them all and was pleased and surprised by the changes she'd made in the stories. Reconstructing Charlie is one of my favorites and I remember the discussion about the first line. It's a real shocker. Am in the process of reading Sin of Omission which started out as a novella and the rest of the story needed to be told. Once I finish some have to reading I'll get back to reading about some fascinating characters and an older woman younger man story. You can find Charmaine's stories of survival and women facing life and coming up winners here.

Who I'm Reading - Jamie Hill's books by Janet Lane Walters

I'll have to admit I've not read them all but she has some really great cop romances up for people to read. I have read several other of her stories and found they're great as far as tension both sexual and also between people with secrets and problems. You can find a complete listing of her books here.

http://www.amazon.com/Jamie-Hill/e/B0044DJ9TM/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1345067749&sr=1-2-ent

Of the three Cop In the Family series, I believe my favorite was Family Secrets but the others are also treats to read. So if you like Cop stories and romantic suspense pick up her books and then start to explore the other parts of her writing like Secrets and Lies.

Thursday - Who I'm Reading - A. M. Westerling

I must admit that I'm a sucker for a well-written Regency historical. I've just finished A. M. Westerling's Her Perfect Scoundrel and thoroughly enjoyed my visit into this Regency with a bit of difference. The characters drew me in and I found being away from London in the story added a new dimmension. The writer had one other story out at the present time The Countess' Lucky Charm. I'll be reading this soon. Too many books to read. What I love about Regency historicals is triggered by my one attempt to write one of these and I really appreciate the effort it takes to produce a book people want to read given all the research that must be done.

So if you love Regency historicals try this writer. I just hope she will be writing more.

Thursday - Who I'm Reading - Liz Matis

If you like a spicy read with a lot of humor, pick up one of Liz Matis's books. Playing for Keeps shows a a football star and a reporter finding love with a lot of heat. Then there's Love By Design giving us a TV hostess and her new co-star, a sexy Aussie with lots of humor and hot sex. I have her third on my reader and will read it soon. Going For It. You can find her books here. http://www.amazon.com/Liz-Matis/e/B005UDD4SW/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1343913572&sr=1-2-ent  So if you choose love spiked with humon, look up her books.

Thursday - Who I'm Reading - Joan Hall Hovey

I'll admit to reading suspense and liking it. Lately I've been reading Joan Hovey and she writes suspense that has you biting your nails. So far I've read Chill Waters, so far my very favorite of them all. Her heroine doesn't give up but neither do any of her other heroines. Nowhere To Hide is a great revenge story and a chilling read. The Abduction of Mary Rose interested me because of the subject of adoption and finding roots. I have an adopted daughter and we have no idea of her roots. I've also read Listen to the Shadows and there's one more on my reading list to go. I'll read it soon and become so rapt in the prose and the suspense I'll probably scream is someone says hello. I've heard she's writing a new one and I'll buy it to.

If you like suspense, pick up one of Joan's books and you'll become addicted. When I've read throuh all the books on my Kindle, I'll re-read these books and see what I can learn about developing suspense from a master.
