More comfort reads and one hate-rage read. Okay, that one was a work read, but it got me going. And then I had to talk to my author client and ask her how honest she wanted me to be because the book was painful. It's a good thing she's wonderful, and an adult, and she can take constructive criticism. I've got some work to do for her to fix some things, and that's on my to-do list soon. And no, I'm not saying which book that is.
On the good books front, of course, Knighthunter by Anna Hackett. If there's one author who can do one of my least favorite tropes and do it well, it's her. This one is enemies to lovers and I still loved it. Ms Hackett has a way of handling difficult (to me) tropes and making them sing. It helps that her characters are wonderful.
I also got caught up on and finished a recent series I had been working on by TS Joyce with The Keeper of Promise and The Break of Promise. Both were fantastic as I knew they would be. I also read His Curse To Give which was a re-release of an older book that had been expanded. I loved it but subsequent books in the series follow the same couple and that's not the kind of book series I like to read so I'm stalling on the next books.
Cassie Mint released a few books in July and I loved Harbor Master which features a heroine with amnesia who is rescued by the local harbor master. So sweet and filled with longing. Just my kind of thing.
That's it from me. What did you read in July?
Stay tuned for what Helen read too. It's coming. I promise, I will get to it.

ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteJuly was a good month for the TBR pile. Seems like nearly every one was. I glommed on the Forbidden Iceland series by Eva Bjorg Ægisdóttir. I'd had the first 3 a while, and had to buy book 4.

You've got a great range of books read there. What did you think of Secret Sisters? I remember recommending it last month, I think.
DeleteAnd Knightmaster was great. Enemies to lovers, but Anna Hackett does that well.
Yes, I loved Secret Sisters. I've a few JAK's I haven't read yet for some reason. Think Knightmaster was one of my faves by Anna.
DeleteAh, then I would encourage to read at least one a month of your JAK books. They are so good. I'm currently reading one of her historicals. It's delightful, but I'm mad at the heroine right now, so I've put it down for a while.
