3. A Daring Pursuit by Kate Bateman who has become an auto-buy, must-read author for me in a relatively short time. https://t.co/aNDg9WCwf8

#56 Audiobook of Sherry Thomas's MURDER ON COLD STREET, narrated by Kate Reading. I'm getting really close to being current on this series and then I'll have to start waiting a *whole year* for new books and I don't think I can bear it.https://t.co/ae12eH3GrF

#103 THE CHOICE by Nora Roberts I enjoyed the trilogy, but honestly felt that the climax was rushed & I still question the choice of referring to Sally, the drag queen character, as "him" even when in full drag, esp. when Breen considered Sally her mother. https://t.co/GdhITlo5ft

@AlixEHarrow And another: A NOTORIOUS COUNTESS CONFESSES by Julie Anne Long--former courtesan falls for a vicar.

#48 THE BONE ORCHARD by Sara A. Mueller This one took me a while to get through because I don't think I was reading it at the right time. I liked it enough, though, to keep going in spite of that, & that's a high compliment. https://t.co/fIuCpvSowG

#121 Audibook of Heart of the Sun Warrior by Sue Lynn Tan, narrated by Natalie Naudus. This duology was so good and Natalie Naudus did such a great job narrating. I recommend both books very highly. https://t.co/a28e3LJskC

As much as I liked THE HEART PRINCIPLE, it isn't a rom-com by any definition. This is one of the hazards of putting illustrated covers on *everything*. A person who hasn't read the book isn't going to know at a glance that it isn't a rom-com & it can lead to disappointed readers. https://twitter.com/BnSarasota/status/1491550910585217028

So all the B-ton chatter is starting up again & I would like to share my headcanon (even though the timelines don't quite line up): Adjoa Andoh portrays Lady Danbury. She also narrates Vanessa Riley's ISLAND QUEEN audiobook. In my head, IQ is Lady Danbury's backstory.

@Rachael_Conrad A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall. Destiny's Captive by Beverly Jenkins (anything by Ms. Bev, really, but PIRATES (sorta). A Duke, the Lady, and a Baby by Vanessa Riley. Butterfly Swords by Jeannie Lin. Delicious by Sherry Thomas. Any of Olivia Waites's Feminine Pursuits.

I'm going to share one of mine (there have been several) which was One Summer in Paris by Sarah Morgan. I like her books most of the time, but there was a forgiveness-without-groveling for an infidelity (plus some other stuff) that made me SO MAD. Still haven't recovered. https://t.co/gZVWXA7TS9
