I just finished the five books by Sharie Kohler in what's called The Moon Chasers series.  Waiting on book six to come out.  Meanwhile I'm currently devouring book two of Joss Ware's Envy series.  Envy is what the post apocalyptic survivors and their descendants call what's left of Las Vegas (North Vegas was spared).  So far there's action, romance, some smex but mostly character and relationship development, zombies, beings who may or may not be immortals and/or aliens, most of the world's land mass gone.....for you men who like after the end of the world novels, you may actually enjoy Joss Ware's writing since there is plenty of story there.

Anyone interested in a tamer post apocalyptic book(s) should look up Maia Underwood and Ellen Connor.

I know Beatrice Small was one of the authors who taught me all about sex!
LOL, my first book ever in that category was The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss.  I think I was 15.  It still cracks me up to remember Mom sticking her head in my room and telling me oh good you're reading again!

I learned soooo much from Bertrice Small!  :shucks:

I read all of her books for years. Just checked her website, and it said this is the 35th anniversary of "The Kadin". I remember reading it when it came out (I was 25!) and it was sooo "racy".

I haven't read any of her books in years. I loved the Skye O'Malley series. I can't remember the last time I read a historical novel, probably been 15 years or more.

According to what I found, she's 75 now and still writing. Website says she's written 5 contempory erotic novels. The historicals weren't erotic?  :whistling:

I should look up her newest novels.  I've read other authors whose pages are smokin' hot, so old Beatrice better have used her 75 years on Earth to learn a few tricks. :whistling:

My daughter, who is about your age, enjoys Stephanie Laurens.  Her books don't have sex, just romance, iirc.  She writes well.  I also really enjoyed all the Georgette Heyer books; she's actually the grande dame of historical romance.  I began reading her at age 12 and once in awhile still reread one of her novels.  Give her a try; you should find alot of her books in your local library.

I'm pretty sure that I've read Stephanie Laurens, and I seem to recall enjoying her.  I might have to look for a few more of her books.  But, to be clear, I don't mind steamy  :naughty:  My mom and I listened to a Hannah Howell book on tape on the drive from Nebraska to California.  That was awkward  :rotf:

what was so disappointing was that the "partner/husband" never lived up to the hero's "talent".  :bawl:

I've been with M for 19 years.... could be why I don't read historicals anymore....  :yahoo:

Well, deb, while my Devin isn't the hero in a swoonworthy romance, he's all a girl could ever want (as I know is your M).  Kind, loving, considerate, protective, and ooops, just walking in the door to bust me at the computer.  Damn dogs didn't even manage ONE miserable warning bark for Mommy.  See if they get any doggies treats tonight.

In all likelihood, Devin bribed the dogs with treats to stay silent so he could bust you at the computer.  :whistling:

Reading SEAL Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper. The book covers what happened in Mogadishu; including the "Black Hawk Down" incident.

Interesting aside about the author (Howard E. Wasdin)....he lives in Jesup,GA and is my mom's chiropractor. The book I'm reading is autographed to my step-dad. Cool, eh?

"Act of Terror" by Marc Cameron.

Fiction about somewhat home grown terrorists, who have infiltrated into top clearance government jobs. Scary, in that it could be possible....

Have spent the last couple weeks re-reading the Wheel of Time series - now finally complete after 20-some years and better than a million words total,  with the final book "A Memory of Light" released recently. No spoilers for fans that may have not read it.

Next up - "Blackwater - The rise of the worlds most powerful mercenary army" - by Jeremy Scahill.
