REVIEW: Into the Flame by Christina Dodd

Limecello's review of Into the Flame (Darkness Chosen, Book 4) by Christina Dodd
Paranormal romance released by Signet on 5 Aug 08
The fourth and final installment to the Darkness Chosen series was good, but not my favorite in the bunch. (That would be Into the Shadow.) Into the Flame is well written, the characters are all likable - and I'm glad I read the series. The premise was interesting and I enjoyed seeing how everything came together. Read more
What a Week It Was!
August 10, 2008
Well, it's taken me a week to recuperate and get back into the swing of things since I got home from San Francisco. Was it all worth it? Damn straight!
I was supposed to be at the RWA National Conference as a writer. I started writing only a year or so ago, so I was really looking forward to learning more about the craft. But who was I trying to kid? I was 99.9% reader in San Francisco. I couldn't help myself. Everywhere I looked were authors I'd been reading for years, authors who I just discovered, and even newer authors who I hadn't yet discovered while at the conference. And the books! You've all seen my TBR mountain. You all know how bad my addiction is. There was no way in hell anyone could have kept me away from the books in the city by the bay, no matter how they tried. So while I did learn a little, I had a dream of a week just schmoozing and staring in awe the majority of the week. Read more

Limecello's review of Into the Shadow (Darkness Chosen, Book 3) by Christina Dodd
Paranormal romance released by Signet on 1 Jul 08
Christina Dodd is one of my favorite romance authors, but she's never won me over on her paranormals... until now! In fact, I'm considering re-reading the previous ones even. So yes - I liked this book, which is the third installment in her Darkness Chosen series. Read more

Limecello's review of Priceless by Christina Dodd
Historical Romance published by Avon (originally) 1 Aug 92
I really like historical novels, and found it interesting and enjoyable to read one now, that was written by Ms. Dodd sixteen years ago. The story was well developed, and the characters refreshingly different from so many of the other books that are out there.

Trade:
Men of August - Marly's Choice By Lora Leigh
Thanks nicole! I really need to set up a trade list or something.
Used:
Southern Comfort by Karen Kelley
I have never heard of this book or this author. Anyone have an opinion?
Widow's Little Secret by Judith Stacy
I am a Harlequin Historical whore, what can I say.
Letters From a Stranger, Forever and a Day and Unspoken Vows by Connie Rinehold
Kristie J made me do it. Well she rec'ed Letters and I am easy.
New:
Jamie by Lori Foster
This is the end of the Visitation series. I really didn't think I would like this and had Just Say No to Joe forever before I read it. For whatever reason it completely caught my interest. Lori Foster is a hit or miss author for me. I hope this ends the series well.
Beach Blanket Bad Boys by Linda Lael Miller, Alison Kent, Lucy Monroe, Jill Shalvis, Susanna Carr, Morgan Leigh
note to self: order trade size books from amazon or bamm. I just paid 15.00 bucks for this. The line up of authors is great so I am hoping it was worth it and it is the second of the bad boy books I have bought new. So all in all it is worth the price. But the next one, will be purchased online.
Bad in Boots - Colt's Choice by Patrice Michelle
I love a good western, make it a hot western and I am in heaven. I have only read one story by Patrice Michelle Hearts Are Wild with Cheyenne McCray , Patrice Michelle , Nelissa Donovan and I enjoyed her story. This is the second in the Bad in Boots series and in sybilfashion I don't have the first one yet. oops I do have Dragon's Heart, A Taste for Passion (vamps) and A Taste for Revenge (vamps) to read. She does say there will be more BiB books coming as well as the vamps.
Beauty Like the Night by Liz Carlyle
New to me author, I am really enjoying her backlist.
Marry the Man Today by Linda Needham
I am not really sure why the hell I bought this. I have only read two books by Needham and didn't like either. I am trying to cut back on my 'spy' books. And she is a dreaded avon author (looks at kristiej). I didn't even know about this book and honestly, ::hangs head:: the cover caught my eye. It is purple with a carriage and really pretty font. I picked it up and was in a rush (got there 20 mins before they closed). I am going to look up what I can on the book and I MIGHT go back and exchange it tomorrow for something else. Ten to one I throw it in the tbr pile and use it for that avon post I am going to someday do.
Hero, Come Back by Stephanie Laurens, Christina Dodd, Elizabeth Boyle - talked a lil about this one earlier
Master of Pleasure by Jessica Trapp - talked a lil about this one earlier
hee and the library sale is tomorrow at 11 
Then I think I am set for the week. The thing that really sucks ass, is I am going into work in the morning. le sigh I would have had more time tonight to read the shit load of books I have but real life got in the way.
