by Jayne Ann Krentz.
A strange concept, kind of sci-fi-ish but a quick easy read which is always enjoyable.
Not my favorite but doing it as an audiobook is the way to go when they aren't 'can't put down books' :)

Slightly Dangerous (slight series book 6)
by Mary Balogh.
Finally it's Wulf's story and it starts at a house party (he never goes to house parties but is feeling lonely after all his siblings have recently or not so recently become happily married). He meets Christine, a widow. Neither of them want to like each other but of course in the end things work out. I really enjoyed this one and it tied up some loose ends of some side characters which was nice.

Death Du Jour (temperance book 2)
by Kathy Reichs.
The second book started out much more slowly than the first but the ending was pretty fast paced and interesting. They are good mysteries and I kind of like that these are abridged although I do wonder what I'm missing out on.
One more to go in the set that I got from a friend!

Slightly Sinful (slightly series book 5)
by Mary Balogh.
Book 5 follows Alleyne Bedwyn who was presumed dead in the previous book. He winds up in a brothel in Brussels with no memory of who he is. Rachel York, the woman who saved him ends up entering a fake marriage with Alleyne (this series is full of fake engagements so why not a fake marriage) :). Of course in the end he does remember who he is (or is helped to remember), and it completes the scene from Morgan's story where she sees a man standing at the house just before her wedding breakfast (it's Alleyne). It was a nice book to round out the family, leaving only the Duke of Bewcastle left to go!

Simply Perfect (Simply series book 4)
by Mary Balogh.
Finally Claudia Martin's story and Lord Attleboro is the hero. They meet due to a mutual friend and grudgingly she kind of likes him a little. He is almost engaged to the same woman from book 1 of the series that got dumped - Miss Hunt. Hardships continue between Lord Attleboro and Claudia as we find out more about his secret in London and his engagement to Miss Hunt. We also find out the history of Claudia and someone from her past pops back in to her life. Of course all works out for everyone in the end and at long last all 4 friends are happily married.
This was a good series and I enjoyed seeing the same characters over and over. I've also enjoyed reading the Bedwyn series in conjunction since they do intertwine quite a bit.

Deja Dead (Temperance Brennan book 1)
by Kathy Reichs.
I am finally reading this series! I tried to start it a while ago and it wasn't grabbing me - not close enough to Bones the show which I love. However a co-worker got the first 3 books on CD and is passing them along to me as she finishes them. The timing was perfect because my itrip for my ipod stopped working last week and I was in withdrawal!
Part of the reason I may have liked this was that I think it was Abridged so they cut out some of the boring stuff I was getting hung up and lost on. I also had trouble with the French names when I tried reading it which is not a problem when someone reads it aloud to you. This way I could focus on the mystery itself.
So I started up this book and I really enjoyed it, a great murder mystery. I haven't finished Simply Perfect (which is on my ipod) but will get back to that when my new itrip arrives hopefully. Then I'll continue with this series!

Slightly Tempted (Slightly series book 4)
by Mary Balogh.
This book follows Morgan, the youngest. Morgan is interested in the war that is going on and follows some friends to Brussels to be closer to the action. Her brother Aidan goes missing and she stays behind in Brussels while her companions return to England. A "friend" stays with her for protection and of course more develops. The snafoo in their relationship is that he started out befriending her because he holds a grudge against her brother. We find out a bit of the Bedwyn history in this one (relating to Wulf) and of course all works out in the end.
There are only 2 more in the series, Aidan is next, the Bedwyns think he is dead so I think the next book actually coincides time wise with this one, just a parallel story.
