  1. The perception is that romance books are very light reads ,sometimes lacking in substance ,with a certain and easily gotten to HEA but often that's not the case .Look at the type of things we are exploring with the Crossfire series and the stuff we learn not only from the book but through the research you do on your own triggered by the book and wanting to understand the characters.In a lot of ways the Crossfire is a very dark read and I've certainly learned a lot about childhood sexual abuse ,the laws in the USA ,gynecology ,mental health etc right here on this forum.The mushy stuff is why we love it of course but we do go through a lot for it :) .

    I agree :)

  2. Hi Sheens

    I saw it and thought WOW!! so the pic was taken live, and not photoshopped?  AMAZING!! wasn't being under such a 

    thunderstorm a litle scary, though?

     

    As for the sun, I'm going to try my very best!! I'm really fed up with this never-ending heat wave and would kill for some heavy rain!!!

    Yes it was taken live, we had more last night and a house was even set on fire with it last night, we have not had it this bad for such a long time.  I love the Thunder and Lightening well when I am in the house that is LOL.

     

    We are still very warm and humid but would like some sun so anything you can do would be great LOL :)

    You got to him before me, so not fair, was hoping today maybe my Kill Day LOL :)

  4. Ladies you are killing my pocketbook.  I had to take my grand kids to see Superman and now I know I'm going to buy The Tudors, not to mention all the books I'm buying, even though I promise myself I'm cutting back.  If this continues I will need a part-time job to subsidize my addiction. 

    I need to by the Tudors as I loved that and when Superman comes out I am buying that so I have Henry at home Oh the thought Yum Yum :)

  5. Hi Sheens--

     

    Sharon is right.  These books are wonderful.  I think the main character, Lindsay Boxer, served as a model for the series THE CLOSER.  Just my opinion.  The 4 characters are fun to read because, as women, we know how important our girl friends are to us.  It is fun to see how they interact and help each other to solve cases.  Different women but so close.  The romance is definitely a subplot for all and serves to make the characters more human.  

     

    Love Nana Momma also.  Love how Alex has an amazing heart.  Lately, though, Patterson's books are not written as well.  Wondering if he has become too popular and gives an outline to someone else to write.

     

    My husband and I do read some books in common.  Lee Child has a character we both like but I think is aimed at men more.  Jack Reacher.  Since I am into more contemporary romance these days, we are not reading the same stuff.  lol

     

    With the weather being so awful this summer and having to spend more time indoors, I have been a reading machine.  

    Thanks :)

  6. A BiG THANKS   to whoever told us about the 2 prequels to the Blackstone Affair.  They were perfect and tied in the modern day story perfectly and it sounds like #4 will continue the old/new relationship.   :)

    You will have to educate me here, what are the Blackstone Affair, I have heard it before but for the life of me I cannot remember what those books were or their titles and the authors, can you help please :)

  7. 'Thunder and Lightening and torrential rain....' are you kidding me? I'm wilting under an African sun here!!!!!!

     

    As for the pics       love4.gif

    we have more Thunder and Lightning and rain today, and I have the company BBQ tomorrow which I organise every year, can you send some sun for tomorrow please.

     

    Don't know if you saw it but I shared a picture on my FB page last night of Edinburgh in the lightning storm on Tuesday night, it really is spectacular, now stop hogging the sun Gabri and send some over please :)

    we are slowly getting them all killed off :)

  9. Hi SharonM and GLH

    Though i haven't picked up these books in a while I too love James Pattersons Alex Cross and the Private series he has an easy style. My hubby introduced me to the books and he reads them religiously as they come out .My favorite character is Nana Mama I love her and think she has such wisdom and grace .I used to read the Kay Scarpetta books when I was much younger and loved them .I agree about about books that pull you into the story ,you're always better for it .Jeffrey Archer is someone else I read without fail ,his writing for me is very unique.

    I would never read what my hubby reads, he loves SAS books so loves Chris Ryan and Andy McNab books, he just laughs at me as I only read romantic books, he thinks I am just mushy LOL :)
