Okay, this looks like I read a fair bit, but that's two months of reading. Both months were about average. I didn't read a lot, a lot. Work has been busy. That said, the reading has been decent.
Right, I loved all the TS Joyce books I read. There's just something about her books that make me FEEL. So Reach of Slaughter Mountain and Legend of Slaughter Mountain ended the Bears of Slaughter Mountain series for me), and then I dove back into the Boarlander Bears series with Boarlander Silverback and Boarlander Bash Bear. Boarlander Bash Bear was exceptionally delightful. Bash Bear is such a wonderful hero. Her books just make me feel good. I'm trying to catch up and finish the older Damon's Mountain books as Ms Joyce has gone back to Damon's Mountain with a new series right now.
More Cassie Mint. Another favorite. Something Sweet, Lost In The Wild, Tongue Tied and Under Study were all super cute. Sweet, a little bit steamy, and romantic. These are total comfort reads for me.
Something a bit different, but it's been sitting in my library for ages. Punching and Kissing by Helena Newbury. This was intense and probably darker than I normally read, but I really enjoyed it. It's quite edgy and gritty. At some points very violent and graphic, and there are some things that happen which can be quite disturbing. If you're going to try this, read the trigger warnings.
I've gotten back into listening to the Cold Justice series in audio by Toni Anderson with Cold Pursuit. I love Eric G Dove as a narrator. He's on my top 5 list of narrators so I'm excited there's plenty of him to listen to.
And finally, another go-to, auto-buy, favorite author. A new book with People In Glass Houses under Jayne Castle, and The River Knows, a reread, under Amanda Quick. Both wonderful. There's just something about Ms Krentz's banter between her two main characters that I find delightful.
Oh, I reread Nero and Hans as well, but I think I've reached my saturation point with these two books, so I think that's it with them for a while.
Finally, finally. Knightqueen by Anna Hackett which closes out the Oronis Knights series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and of course, an age gap romance with a grumpy hero. Yeah! That totally worked for me.
Ooooohhhh...I just realized that I left out Daddy Unleashed by Laylah Roberts. I was completely obsessed with Remy (one of the heroes) in this book. Gosh, when I was done, I kinda wanted to go back and reread it just to wallow in Remy. I might do that at some point soon, too.
That's it from me. What did you read last month?
PS. I have made my list for my top 10 for 2023 (hey, that's progress!!), so that's coming soon. Soon...
Find me everywhere:
Well this is a long post as I read loads in April and May. Good job as so far in June I've only finished one book.

That's quite a list you've got there. Definitely a lot of rereads.
DeleteI'm slowly making my way through Toni Anderson's Cold Justice series, but I'm doing it on audio, so it's slow.
Wow, that's a lot of Rachel Grant you went through. You're obviously enjoying them.
