Books, get your books here!

Ok, here's some of my books that I'm trying to give away.....but first here's a Coupon from "The Goddess Within" coupon book.

Be Tara, Hindu goddess of communication, sound, and poetry, and practice your creative writing skills. If you don't have one, go out and buy a cool journal.

I already have too many journals and not enough writing, so if one of you guys need one, see me.

Enchantment by Kathleen Nance- "Sultry Alluring. Tempting. The woman in the New Orleans bar was pure sin and sex in a stunning package. And for once, hardworking, practical- minded Jack Montgomery let himself be charmed. He had sworn he would not let magic hold sway over him again, yet passion was another matter. But no sooner had he taken the beautiful stranger in his arms than he discovered his mistake: Lovely, dark-haired Leila was far more than exotic; she was a genie. When he kissed her, heat lightning flashed around them, the air sparkled with color and a whirlwind transported him out of this world. Literally. Trappen with Leila in the land of the Djinn, Jack would have to choose between the principles of science that had defined his life and something dangerously unpredictable and unsettling..." It was not really my sort of book, it seemed slightly contrived for me. I'm not sure. It was a two-read.

The Knight's Kiss by Nicole Burnham- "He lived once upon a time! When beautiful Princess Isabella of San Rimini needed an expert to probe the secets of the royal palace, all roads led directly to dark, mysterious Nick Black-a contemporary example of potent masculinity if ever there was one. Yetthanks to a medieval curse, Nick Black had been around for a long time... a very long time. In fact, once he'd been known as Domenico, an overzealous knight who would never know peace-or mortality-until he learned to put someone else's welfare above his own. In taking this assignment, Nick hoped to find an ancient trick to break the spell. Little did he know that close contact with her lovely highness, Isabella, might help him to find mortality-and love-the old-fashioned way! At the time I bought this book, I just couldn't resist. I had to do a double-take of the cover. The guy in the picture looked almost exactly the same as Nick C. When I flipped the cover to read the background info on the book, that was it. I had to have the book. Now that I'm engaged to John however, it's time to put this book to rest. I enjoyed reading this one, and hope one of you guys would as well.

This next book it the only non-romance book, if any of you enjoy suspense books, here it is!


Sacred Sins
by Nora Roberts- "In the lazy days of summer, a merciless heat wave is the biggest story in Washington, D.C. But the wather is knocked off the front pages when a young woman is found strangled to death. A note left behind reads 'Her sins are forgiven her.' Two more victims soon follow, and suddenly every headline is devoted to the killer the press has dubbed 'The Priest.'

"When the Police sk top-notch psychiatrist Dr. Tess Court to help with their investigation, she comes up with a disturbing portrait of a twisted soul.

"Detective Ben Paris doesn't give a damn about the killer's psyche. When can't easily dismiss is Tess. Tall, drak, and good-looking. Ben had a legendary reputation with women, but the coolly elegant Tess doesn't react to him like other women he's known-and he finds the challenge enticing. Now, as the two are thrown together in a perilous quest to stop a serial killer, the flame of white-hot passion flares. But someone also has his eyes on the beautiful blond doctor...and Ben can only pray that if the madman strikes, he'll be able to stop him before it's too late..."
I don't remember reading this one, so I can't give my opinion on it.

Well that's it for now. Four down and nine to go. Please let me know if I should continue or just give them to dad to give away.

Oh, noooooooo... that can't possibly be a romance. Nope. Not at all.

Bring on the other nine!

Mous, Remember that the X-files has UST (unresolved sexual tension for those not familiar with fan fic language) and it wasn't a romance. From what I did read, it wasn't much more than some of the X-file eps.
