Hey!
I got the next book in the BDB-series but the first book

And thank you all members of this group for all your enthusiasm about romance and reading! I really need my kicks right now. Thank you, you know who you ... ... if you want more different romance Kinsale-style I recommend Flowers from the Storm by her.
Anyway, I have finished Dark Lover and the rest of J. R. Ward's Series is waiting for me at the post office!

I'll second the Black Dagger Brotherhood recommendation though. Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon ****
This one is in my New-To-Me Authors category. I'd seen Kenyon's name and "Dark Hunters" a million times before, but never read any of her books because I was afraid I'd like them so much that I'd have to read the entire series. So, I read Fantasy Lover ... 33. Fantasy Lover, by Sherrilyn Kenyon (***1/2)

I'm reading Fantasy Lover now. I guess it still counts for May. I started it in May, read the first chapter, then set it aside. Started from the beginning again last night . . . not sure if it was before or after midnight though! LOL. I noticed in my last post my meter was wrong, but it is all fixed now!

31) What is your desert island book?
I can't really pick one. I'd want some massive short story collection, part The Book of Fantasy, part The New Weird and part every other short story I'd like to have on hand. Here is where that Kindle could come in mighty handy.

I am reading Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series and Dream-Hunter series and I really need some more reading material! Something to capture my attention and draw me in. Action, romance, all of that ... ... If so, I can also recommend Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunters series - but I would read them in order, starting with Fantasy Lover. ... more adult though you should really read J.R. Ward's series Black Dagger Brotherhood the first book in the series is Dark Lover (touchstone is incorrect) it has action, humor and hot vampires :) This series got me hooked on Romance!!
I just finished fantasy by Christine Feehan & 3 other authors. 4 stories - I enjoyed 3 of the 4
I am now reading Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband by Melissa Mayhue - so far so good.

I finished Fantasy Lover and Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Now I'm on to Night Embrace. I really like this series but I have to say that these books really do have some cheesy titles, even for romance novels. My husband keeps teasing me about them. :P ... I would recommend it.
Now I'm starting a massive re-read of Sherrilyn Kenyon's dark-hunter series, beginning with Fantasy Lover. I read a whole bunch of them a couple years ago but stalled out after Dark Side of the Moon and never caught back up. I just got the last few novels via B ... Since you say you're open to sci-fi/fantasy my suggestion would be Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon. It is the prequel to her very popular Dark Hunter series. You might like it. It's a silly premise but she actually makes it work IMHO. The Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark Hunter series starting with Fantasy Lover. This is probably the closest to Feehan in tone and storyline. I find Kenyon to be a better writer.
The Patricia Briggs Mercy series starting with Moon Called though it is more werewolves than vampires though again, ... ... of you who don't like the blood-suckers, but want to be open-minded, I'd suggest starting with J.R.

Dark Prince/Dark ... ... that was barely even mentioned throughout the book. Still, I enjoyed them and will read more by Foley.
Next up is Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I've heard a lot about this series so I'm checking it out to see if it is worth reading all of. 19. The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter
20. Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon
21. Free for All: Oddballs, Geeks, and Gangstas in the Public Library by Don Borchert ... writes great romance novels that are intersparsed with Greek gods and a few other pantheons. If you're interested, try Fantasy Lover. In the juv area, I'm really enjoying the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. (The new one will be out in May!)

I would recommend reading them in order, though - starting with the "prequel" Fantasy Lover.

The Sherrilyn Kenyon books, starting with Fantasy Lover.
Ack, I can't stop!...but I think I'll just keep making the list in my head ;-p
>29, I always cry at the end of Where the Red Fern Grows, love it ... I got Fantasy Lover years ago, because it was compared to the Anita Blake series, and I was deeply disappointed. It is a long time since I read it, but to me it seemed like a romance with a bit of paranormal thrown in for appeal. And not a particularly good romance at that.
I like the Sooki ... ... romance (CC, I know you don't ;-p )...Many of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter books take place in New Orleans, as does Fantasy Lover the prequel (of sorts). ... One by Ronda Thompson

Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series are very good starting off with Fantasy Lover and Night Pleasures.
Also, Christine Feehan has a series about Carpathian vampires which is good. The first book of that series is Dark Prince.

For Kenyon I would suggest Fantasy Lover and for Feehan I would suggest Dark Prince. They are both paranormal romance writers, if you like that kind of thing.
Kleypas does mostly historical ... Fantasy Lover is one of my faves :-)
BTW-Thanks for recommending The Black Tattoo, I checked it out and it certainly seems like a book I'm interested in reading. The description kind of reminded me of City of Bones, although I'm not sure why. Maybe because they're both debut novels in that ... 69. Fantasy Lover - Sherrilyn Kenyon

Her books are based on the Greek myths, are smutty, and lots of fun. I believe Fantasy Lover is the first. Oh, and don't miss Warprize by Elizabeth Vaughn. It's the first of a trilogy.

You're welcome for the welcomes :-)
Night Pleasures is the next book after Fantasy Lover and is a fantastic book as well.

I agree that you should read the Sherrilyn Kenyon books in order... starting with the prequel (pre-sequel) Fantasy Lover.... very worth the read... savor them!! >10 Hi :-) On the Sherrilyn Kenyon front I would suggest starting with Fantasy Lover. It's a prequil (sorry, I know I'm not spelling that right) to her Dark Hunter series and works very well as a stand alone story as well. Fantasy Lover is probably one of my favorite Dark Hunter books, even though it really isn't a dark hunter book. Actually it may be one of my favorite romance novels ever.
I was curious what other people thought of the book. ... other than the bios of Alaskans, such as mining, trapping, substinence living, history, etc., it was interesting.

The climax was anti-climactic but otherwise the book was enjoyable. She needs to work more on complexity and richness in plot and ... ... os*
Honestly, most of the ones I've read are a lot smarter than people give them credit for. For example the book Fantasy Lover (bad name, great book) has a very strong greek/roman mythology backing as does most of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter books.
There is a lot of fun ... ... - You asked me to let you know what I thought of Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon:
LOVED IT! I really enjoyed Fantasy Lover and this one was even better. The mythology of the Dark Hunters/Dream Hunters etc is really fascinating and I think she really does a good job of giving you ... ... Price best of the three. Love those dangerous heroes!
Now I'm on to Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I read Fantasy Lover a couple of weeks ago, just to try out a paranormal romance, and really liked it. I've been haunting the used bookstores for days now looking for Night Pleasu ... ... novels but, much more romance than you would usually find in fantasy novels. I would highly recommend this one to you.
Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon has a very strong Greek Mythology background, some time travel, paranormal happenings, etc. I'd very highly recommend it as well.
