EPIC 100 Comment post: What Are You Reading Wednesday (a day late, again)

Here's my second post in my new weekly topic - What Are You Reading Wednesdays! Borrowed from Should Be Reading's lovely blog.

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?


What Am I currently Reading?

Currently I am reading Mistral's Kiss, by Laurell K. Hamilton.

I am Princess Meredith, heir to a throne of faerie. My day job, once upon a time, was as a private detective in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, princess has now become a full-time occupation.

My aunt, Queen Andais, will have it no other way. And so I am virtually a prisoner in faerie–trapped here with some of the realm’s most beautiful men to serve as my bodyguards . . . and my lovers. For I am compelled to conceive a child: an heir to succeed me on the throne. Yet after months of amazing sex with my consorts, there is still no baby. And no baby means no throne. The only certainty is death at the hands of my cousin Cel, or his followers, if I fail to conceive.

Now Mistral, Queen Andais’s new captain of the guard, has come to my bed–defying her and risking her terrible wrath in doing so. But even she will hesitate to punish him in jealous rage, because our joining has reawakened old magic, mystical power so ancient that no one stands against it and survives. Not even my strongest and most favored: my Darkness and my Killing Frost. Not even Mistral himself, my Storm Lord. But because Mistral has helped to bring this magic forth, he may live another day.

If I can reclaim control of the fey power that once was, there may be hope for me and my reign in faerie. I might yet quell the dark schemes and subterfuges surrounding me. Though shadows of obsession and conspiracy gather, I may survive.


I have read several of the books in this series, and I like them all.


What Did I just Recently Finish?

I just finished Dylan (The Secret Life of Cowboys), by C.H. Admirand.

THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULDN'T TAME...

Dylan Garahan might be an old hand at lassoing fillies, but one night at the Lucky Star club, and he ends up wrapping his rope around someone that even his formidable strength can't tame. She's wily and beautiful... and she's his new boss. Dylan's had his heart broken before, but even an honest cowpoke has to wrestle with temptation...

UNTIL HE GOT HIS LASSO AROUND HER...

Ronnie DelVecchio might be fresh off the bus from New Jersey, but she's a hard-edged businesswoman and has had her fill of men she can't trust-although she might consider getting off her high horse for that big, handsome rancher with a Texas drawl.

I love, love, love this book! I am definitely going back and reading the first one, and I will be reading the 3rd when it comes out later this year. I will be doing a review post on this book this week. C.H. Admirand has also generously donated a signed copy of the first book of this series, Tyler(The Secret Life of Cowboys, for 1 lucky reader. The giveaway for that will be with the review, so stay tuned!


What Am I Reading Next?

I think next will have to be Remington and the Mysterious Fedora by Chuck Waldron.

Surprise is in store when, in the back of a strange used goods store, Josh finds an old Remington typewriter and a fedora with some very mysterious powers. As Josh embarks on his first novel writing adventure, he finds that his new hat has its own story to tell – of a time before history began – and is quite demanding of Josh’s attention. As the story consumes him, Josh’s life begins to unravel, and he soon finds he is unable to separate himself from the hat and the story. When the last page is written, Josh is left with more questions than answers...both about the story and his own life.

This is another book I am reviewing. I am greatly looking forward to this book. Chuck Waldron has generously offered a copy of Remington and the Mysterious Fedora to one lucky reader of this blog. The giveaway for that will be when I do the review of this book, in the next week or two.

So now you can tell me -

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?

Just leave me a comment to let me know.

Or, you could just tell me your favorite book or author :)
