I'm also finding myself drawn to fast-paced YA romance right nows - especially those with paranormal elements, because they keep my blood pumping and help me stay warm. It keeps the shivers at bay (the kind you get from being cold, at least! It might create the OTHER kind, though! *wink*). And if the app on my phone happens to be permanently set on a particular scene in Nick's office in which a certain kiss happens to result in some tumbling books and a slight injury to a head and an ego, well. If there is any book on my Kindle that is suffering from 'click me' fatigue, it has to be Stealing Adda, a contemporary romantic comedy by Tamara Leigh that has that self-deprecating chick-lit vibe I love. The side romances are almost as much fun as the main event! I especially enjoyed Cate's attempts to find love for her divorced cougar mom! When not focused on her own romance, heroine Cate Kendall, fancies herself to be a matchmaking Emma. Goodnight delivered such a fun romp - she even tossed in a quirky paranormal twist. I'm a sucker for anything Austen-related and Ms. It's been sooo cold here in Tulsa, so I've been indulging in my guilty pleasure of reading in the hot tub! My favorite book of the month is Austensibly Ordinary by Alyssa Goodnight. If I were stranded in a snowstorm or bathing in the sun, I would want to have a stack of Cathy Maxwell's books to keep me company! I love the perseverance, the charm, and the sex scenes. One of my favorite things about Maxwell's writing is her ability to create such marvelous and likable heroes and to give heroines this undeniably brilliant streak of humor (a rare ability to laugh at oneself) and pick herself up to keep going. I read these books for the first time last year and was so taken with the characters, the stories, and the scenery (I LOVE SCOTLAND!!!) that I dove in again. I've been rereading Cathy Maxwell's Chattan Curse series. Today, it was a high of 60, and though a snowstorm might be on the horizon in a few weeks we are enjoying the blissfully gorgeous weather. Living in the mountains above San Diego has its charms, and right now that's the warm air coming up through Mexico. Anne Elizabeth, author of A SEAL at Heart
