It's still kinda gross outside... perfect reading weather though. I continue my sabbatical from Sookie Stackhouse, but I recently finished two very good books.
One was Heart of the Dragon by Gena Showalter. It's about Atlantis and the creatures that live there. Darius is the King of the Dragons and guards one of the portals from this world to his. Ever sense the death of his family he has buried emotions and senses, the only thing he lives for is the protection of the portal. Enter Grace. Darius can't keep his hands off of her, even though she is the enemy. She gives him a world of color and beautiful emotion. As their adventures begin it becomes clear that they were meant to be together.
The other book was a change from my paranormal romance. It was Kiss Me While I Sleep by Linda Howard.
CIA contract agent Lily Mansfield has been a ruthless, professional assassin for nearly 20 of her 37 years, but her work takes a personal turn after the young girl she rescued from war torn Bosnia as a baby, and the friends that were raising her, are killed. Lily turns renegade and avenges their deaths with a brilliantly executed murder, nearly killing herself in the process, but she soon finds herself hunted by an evil family, embroiled in a plot that threatens the safety of the world, and chased by handsome CIA agent Lucas Swain, who has been charged with bringing Lily back by any means necessary. I liked the change from paranormal romance. There were no fangs and no magic. It was really bery refreshing but I'm back to paranormal again.
I've bought the next book in the Atlantis series and it's just as good as the first.
