What Deanna Read #85: May 2023

Hello!!! I thought I was getting back on track. Slowly, but yes, back on track. But then Steve got the man-cold, and he gave it to me. Only, I think my immune system is shot from all the other stuff that happened, so I got his cold, which turned into the flu, and that became a chest infection. Fun times! I'm slowly getting better.

Y'all, I started this post weeks ago thinking I'd get caught up. And tomorrow is the last day of June. I'm sitting in bed right now with my laptop on the bed table thingy Steve bought me for my post-surgery recovery. I'm using that a lot as the chest infection really set me back and I've struggled somewhat the last few weeks with my health. I'm hanging in there though.

Here's what I read for the last month.

Stealing The Thief

The Kingpin's Obsession

King

Big Brawny Mechanic

Acts Of Love

Midnight Man

Reckless Night

Romantic Suspense Duet

Reckless Night, Hot Secrets

Debutante's Curse

Stealing The Bride

Fierce Daddy

Sweet Psycho

The Bride Wore White

Grump Gone Wild

Stranded For The Night

Out Of Options

When I finished putting together the titles I'd read for the last month, I thought, hey, that was not a lot of books. Then I realised that it's only for ONE month and the last couple of posts had two months of reading in them. So for one month, this is not terrible at 21 books. It's probably still a bit less than normal, but I'm terribly slow right now, I'm not reading as much, I'm still recovering from surgery, and my brain is often mush.

That said, there were still some good books for the month.

The most stand-outest stand out book(s) for the month were rediscoveries and rereads. Midnight Man and Reckless Night by Lisa Marie Rice. The best part of this was the fact that I love Ms Rice's writing and I'm miffed at myself for having not read anything by her for such a long time. I wanted to binge, but decided to resist. But I'm definitely putting her back on my read more regularly list. I need to catch up on all her older books and get into her more recent ones. She does intense alpha males incredibly well, and they are totally my jam.

Other than that, with it being a slow month, I also loved The Bride Wore White by Amanda Quick. Ms Quick just does romantic suspense well. I love the way her hero and heroine always dance around each other before they fall in love. That push-pull of do I-don't I and if they can trust each other is deliciously done. It's almost like an enemies to lovers trope but without all the things I hate about that trope.

That's it from me. What did you read this few months? Do leave a comment and let me know.

Stay tuned for what Helen read too.
