Diana Palmer's Dangerous

I bought this book Tuesday since I can't stand not to have a book I want the day it comes out, regardless if I'm going to read it that day. It's the fact that I know I could pick it up at any time I want.

I really enjoyed Kilraven and Winnie's story. I've been patiently waiting for this one and I was quite pleased with it. The story was interesting but the one part I hated dealt with Kilraven's past and what was driving him in his case. It was something that as I parent I try my best to never ever think about. Even though I hate the topic, it was well written. If you like Diana's other work, I would definitely recommend picking up a copy of Dangerous.

I know some people aren't really fond of the way Diana Palmer throws in a lot of information about whichever topic the book happens to feature (Native American culture, archeology, etc.) but it really doesn't bother me. Also some people hate that there seems to be a running theme of a young woman and a man quite a bit older (10+ yrs). Again, I have no problems with this. I happen to be a huge Diana Palmer fan. I met her about 6 yrs ago at a signing in Fayetteville, GA when I lived there. I had Riley with me, he was about 3 mths old at the time. We were the 2 youngest people in the room! Either her younger fans just didn't know about the signing or are not very abundant in that neck of the woods. She was super nice and I really enjoyed meeting her.

First time blogger, long time reader.

I've considered doing a blog before, but seeing as I live in Nowheresville, USA I wasn't sure what I'd write about. I live a fairly boring life with my hubby, our two boys, our elderly dog and now the kitten that adopted us 2 nights ago. Then I decided I'd write about what I love, books.

I grew up out in the country where we only picked up 2 channels. Seeing as I am completely nonathletic, I have always loved to read. I read at least a book a day. I love getting caught up in the story lines and seeing how things work out in the end. I also reread books quite often which blows my husband's mind. He's not much of a reader and it takes him forever to read a book (seriously, it was like 3 months for him to finish any Harry Potter book) so he can't fathom rereading any of them.

What kind of books do you all like to read? Any type that you read only as a last resort?
