The one with the title? If he is, I would read his story. I like him. Did you pick up LLG's newest offering? It's definitely not ATHKH, which is so disappointing. *sighs* Christian, He’s the older brother, right? The one with the title? If he is, I would read his story. I like him.

I read somewhere that Hunter has just barely started on Christian’s story. Sigh.

I loved the hero, but Phaedra was a little flat for me. I understood her protestations of marriage, but the sudden turn-around at the end just didn't seem all that believable. And I totally guessed the mystery of the fraud ring about 2/3s into the book. Overall, LOD wasn't a must-read but it wasn't all that bad. A pleasant way to while away the afternoon.

Personally, I don't bother trying to figure out how many books I read a year. I'd either get depressed because I didn't read as many as I'd like to, or because I spent too much money on books. I'd much rather just push all of my books into my bookshelf and pretend as if they've always been there. As for 2007, it's been kind of a miss for me. I can usually think back and know if there's been a surplus of great romances, but I honestly can't remember most of the books I've read. (I wonder what that says about the books I've read...) I agree that LLG's "And Then He Kissed Her" was amazing. And I loved "Untouched" from Campbell. Eloisa's books are fun to read, but I feel that this series is going to be a "meh" series for me. And the rest of your list, haven't picked up yet. I just picked up Hunter's "Lessons of Desire", but I've never read her. Hopefully, it's a hit. Actually, I hope 2008 is a great year for romances.
