Thinking…

After think about this for sometime, I have finally come to the conclusion that my goal will never be achieved in one life time and i will need at least two to reach the final target.

Based on the amount of books that i have read so far from when I first started, it would take me around 152 years to get to read 10000 books. There just seems to be no way that i can read that many books and still have a life at the same time.

So I have now shorten it done to reading just 1000 books and hopefully I can get to that. I have more chance a reaching 1000 then 10000 books.

So here goes up new target

The Kristallis Baby

The Kristallis Baby by Natalie Rivers

The Greek tycoon’s virgin bride
Billionaire Nikos Kristallis is shocked when he learns that his orphaned nephew, and the only heir to the Kristallis fortune, is being cared for by personal trainer Carrie Thomas.

Nikos is furious when Carrie refuses to give him the baby. But Carrie is beautiful, sexy, and a virgin – and Nikos has a plan… He’ll whisk her away to his secluded villa in Corfu, where he’ll take her innocence and then claim her as his bride.

Navajo Echoes

Navajo Echoes by Cassie Miles (Bodyguards Unlimited, Denver, Co)

There wasn’t really that much romance in this one, more just fighting action. Not that it was a problem I still ending up read it.

She broke down all his defenses
Personal Securities agent John Pinto liked to do things his way – especially on his current assignment to bring an on-the-run operative out of hiding. But when the sexy Navajo was teamed up with agent Lily Clark, he was caught between her passion for life and his desire to get the job done.

As they followed a trail littered with deadly obstacles, John appreciated Lily’s independence, but was unwilling to put her life on the line. True, they’d been sent to do a job, but never before had a woman aroused his protective instincts or rocked his stringent rules separating business from pleasure.

Armed and Devastating

Armed and Devastating by Julie Miller (The Precinct: Brotherhood of the Badge)

Ya I know that there is a bit of a taboo about reading Mills & Boon novels, well there is here in Australia anyway. But I must say that was really was a good mystery novel, and there were some funny parts in it too. It wasn’t until the very end of the book that I discovered who the mystery ‘boss’ was; that is if I think it is them at all.

She was a virgin…and he was all male…
When did plain personal assistant Brooke Hansford sprout miles of long, smooth, creamy legs? And more importantly, why did Detective Atticus Kincaid suddenly notice? Their relationship had always been the ‘good friend’ variety. But now Brooke was in his thoughts and under his skin. The fact that she was receiving unwanted male attention in the form of some creep’s anonymous psychological terror brought out all his protective instincts.

Now Brooke found herself virtually surrounded by the badge and broad shoulders of Atticus. Her awkward affection for him erupted into raw need that she’d never know. But would the fuel of newfound passion ignite a killer’s revenge?

Really Unusual Bad Boys

Really unusual bad boys by MaryJanice Davidson

When I first started this book I thought that it was three short stories. However it may be just that, but they all link together. It is about 3 different brothers from the SandLands and how they each find their own ‘mate’.

Bridefight
One minute, Detective Lois Commoner is popping pain pills for her bum knee; the next, she’s in a strange land with a magically delicious naked man named Prince Damon. Questions? Maybe one or two.

Mating Season
When Lt. Anne Sanger joined the W.A.C.s to see the world and meet someone, she meant Europe and nice Boise farm boy – not a feral, well-built, rakish man in abathtub claiming he has wished her to be his mate.

Groomfight
Rica Callanbra is used to odd things happening, but sweet, godlike hunky men falling from the sky? She’ll take him! Talk about heaven on earth.

Confessions of a little black gown

Confessions of a little black gown by Elizabeth Boyle

It did took me a little while to get into this book. However once I did I found myself completely lost within the story and the characters. I haven’t read any of Elizabeth’s previous book and now I think I will have to read some more. I found it had to put the book down and when I did, I couldn’t wait to read it again. A treasure truly worth waiting to find.

She spied him in the shadows…
And in an instant, Thalia Langley knew the man before her was no saint. He might claim to be the Duke of Hollindrake’s unassuming country cousin, but no man that handsome, that arresting, could be anything but…well, he simply must be an unrepentant rouge. His cat-like grace and power leave Tally shivering in her slippers at the notion of all the wicked, forbidden things he might be capable of doing…to her.

Indeed, Lord Larken in no bumbling vicar, but a master spy there in his majesty’s service to find – and murder – a notorious pirate freed in a daring prison escape. Devoted to the Crow, Larken’s not about to let an interfering (and not entirely innocent) Mayfair miss disrupt his ruthless plans. Yet how can he be anything but tempted by this lady in a little black gown… a dress tantalizing enough to lead even Larken astray.

Kaeleer’s Heart

Kaeleer’s Heart by Anne Bishop (Dreams Made Flesh)

Just beautiful. This is a short story about the Jaenelle and Daemon faces after the end of Queen of Darkness. Just as gripping as the trilogy. Loved the party scene. Very clever. I actually laughed at some of the parts in this story. So it must have been good.

 

Daemon fears Jaenelle will never recover from sacrificing her Black Jewels to purge the realm of the corrupt Queens.

He desires nothing more than to heal her, body and soul – and to help her unravel the secret of Twilight’s Dawn, the Jewel Jaenelle now possesses…

Queen of the Darkness

Queen of the Darkness by Anne Bishop (The Black Jewels Trilogy, book 3)

The end has finally come and everything has a price. It was good to see more of Daemon again. I missed him in the last book. I great way to end it all. Love really is the greatest weapon of all.

Jaenelle Angelline now reigns as Queen-protector of the Shadow Realm. No longer will the corrupt Blood slaughter her people and defile her lands. But where one chapter ends, a final, unseen battle remains to be written, and Jaenelle must unleash the terrible power that is Witch to destroy her enemies once and for all.

Even so, she cannot stand alone. Somewhere, long lost in madness, is Daemon, her promised Consort. Only his unyielding love can complete her Court and secure her reign. Yet, even together, their strength may not be enough to hold back the most malevolent of forces.

The Prince of Ebon Rih

The Prince of Ebon Rih by Anne Bishop (Dreams Made Flesh)

This story takes place between Heir to the Shadows and Queen of the Darkness. I decided to read them all in order to see how the whole story fits together.

It’s nice to read some background information about the characters. It makes you feel more connected to them in some way. This short story is about Lucivar and how he copes with his feelings for his newly appointed housekeeper.

Against the wishes of his aristocratic mother, Eyrien Warlord Prince Lucivar Yaslana struggles with his feelings for his housekeeper, the hearth with Marian…
