I found a new author for historical romance lovers.

And her name is..........Barbara Pierce. You can look her up at www.barbarapierce.com. To all historical romance lovers out there, listen up!!! Her "Carlisle Series" are to die for. Well......I must say, I really can't take all the credits.......okay, okay....this is what really happened. As I was in my favorite bookstore, and was getting fed up with why Lora Leigh’s new books is not in stores yet. As I was gearing up to ring the neck of the sales person, my friend turned to leaf through the shelf. There she found a scandalous cover…..she called me and showed me the book. I didn’t think much of it then. But what the 2nd book did was knocked me out!!! The cover was hot......sizzling hot!! So hot I couldn't put it down after I got it in my hands kinda hot! It was book 1 and 2 from the “Carlisle Series”. Book 1 "Wicked Under the Covers", and book 2 "Sinful Between The Sheets". Lucky me that I found the covers to be kind of interesting (yeah! Like, WOW man!!), and decided to read the back of the book. I remember thinking to myself “So, it’s another historical. Would there be more disappointment for me? How many times have I tried to branch out and never made it to the first quarter of the book? And in the famous words of Samuel L. Jackson’s famous words from ‘SWAT’, “What the hell….” I bought it and had the plastic covers done for them. (Again) I was thinking, “Dear God, help me get some good reading done. Else this ride is gonna be a long way home for me.” I never thought that for a new writer (comparing her to CC/JD or even JG, she quite new), she good! Damn good, I tell you!! The story was original (done a lot of comparison, trust me), character wise too. And I thought that I only had Nicole Jordan left to read on this subject. Okay, before you throw rocks at me…..I’ve given up Virginia Henley **ducking flying missiles**. HEY!!! Don’t take it personally, oooi!!! Listen up. She is giving me the run around; therefore I get seasick from reading too many characters involved with each other and so on. So, I’ve decided to take the easy way out. Look for a new author. And found one. You will not be disappointed in her style, originality (mentioned that), characters (mentioned that, too). All in all, she writes a damn good book.

Now, how do I summarize her works for you? Well, I can only do it for this series. As currently, I am (not yet) on the hunt for her previously writings. Why....do you ask? It was because of a (couple) of bids for a (couple) set of books by Christine Feehan (hardcovers) which I paid my ass off for on ebay. Please, don't forget....the exchange rate for the US dollars here is USD$1 = THB32. I spend more than USD$200 for them, maxed out my credit and therefore, is lying low (well, not that low) and will not be looking in on ebay anytime in the near future. So, that leaves me with her 3 previous books. Oh, yeah! I forgot to mentioned to you that I also got the latest one....."Naughty by Nature". **growling** It's just so damn pitiful that it had to be my first day on the shift. I have a 5 day shift and my off days are Thursday and Friday. This sucks, from tomorrow onwards I get the 5am shift and have to get up at 2am. That means I need to sleep on the bus. So, I will have less reading time. I will need more time as Barbara uses difficult to pronounce name (not for you, I mean for me as I am not a native English speaker). Thanks to her website I did find some helpful meaning so some of the words I never did find in my dictionary. Now, if only I can get my hands on most of the names, words and places. Oh, oh!! Especially the names...I am having a hell of a time pronouncing them. And I don't even think I got them right yet. Well, never mind my ranting. Where am I, oh yeah! Summarized!! Sorry, I forgot myself. After I finished all 3 books, not counting the next one will be out in July "Scandalous Night", I'll let you know as soon
as possible (or in my line of work ASAP).

Be back to post later and updating you on Barabara Pierce. For now.........it's goodbye!


Happy reading,
Toni
