Personal Recommendations

Yes, Immortal Outlaw by Lisa Hendrix is finished, and it was everything I thought it would be. If you like shifter stories, you simply must read the Immortal Brotherhood series, because Lisa does shifters in a fresh new way that is simply irresistible. Her heroes are hot, ancient men cursed by an angry goddess who even now seeks to keep them from breaking the curse and becoming mortal again. And in this particular book, the story of Robin Hood is artfully woven through for an added layer of legend. Read it – I know you’ll love it!

For those of you who may like more adventurous reading, I’d highly suggest Picture This by Kaily Hart (who I interviewed right here on Thursday), and Ex Appeal by Cari Quinn – a “second chances” story that is both very hot and super sweet. You can’t go wrong with either of them.

That’s my scoop for the week – how about you? Read any good blog posts? Discovered any great books? Do share!
