Because You're Mine (Theater series book 2)

by Lisa Kleypas.

Another book 2 that I'm reading first. I was driving when my last book finished so I just started listening to the first one in the list. It happens that it's actually another second book but again, not a big deal.

This one takes place in the theater world. Logan Scott is a self-made farmer to famous actor and Maddy is a young woman engaged to a titled old man who she does not want to marry. She decides to ruin herself by having an affair with Mr. Scott but he won't have her.

Again I really enjoyed this one and the appearances of the Duke and Duchess who were the characters of book 1 made me interested in their story of course so I look forward to reading about them next!

Dreaming of You (Stews to Gentlemen book 2)

by Lisa Kleypas.

I didn't know this was a second part to a first book when I started it and it really doesn't matter but the characters from the first book make quite a few appearances.

Anyhow, this one was about a self-made man who runs a gambling club and a spinster writer who does research in the 'stews' and comes upon him being attached and 'saves his life'. Quite an active beginning and the story continues with the action. It's a very good one and I really enjoyed it. It inspired me to hunt around a bit for her other books and now I have a few on audible ready to enjoy!

A Matter of Class

by Mary Balogh.

I recently purchased some new kindle books and this was one of them. I like Mary Balogh books and this one was quite interesting. I give credit to the author for sure in this unique story and while I did figure out the "twist" quite early it was still fun, not following the typical romance story line. I do recommend this one pretty highly if you like romances.

Demon Hunts (Walker Papers book 5)

by C.E. Murphy

And we visit Joanne Walker again - Urban Shaman. This one seemed to be the slowest of the series so far and I think I'm losing interest in general in this series. There wasn't a lot of action, but there was a lot of spiritual stuff which got boring. Plus the "joanne/morrison" in love but can't admit it thing is getting old, especially since she now also loves someone else. I may keep reading these because it's easy to listen to them but we'll see.
