Wolf in Waiting was highly recommended, so of course I had to try it.
My goodness, paranormal office romance! I sure do love the "variety" in older books.

I have to say that other than the Poldark books, I've been reading a lot of the same thing. As far as romance goes, I've been kind of stuck on the military veteran, romantic suspense type book. I'm thinking I need to branch out a little, but during the summer months I just don't have the attention for anything too deep. Do you ever find yourselves in the same position?
