Lauren Blakely - The Sapphire Affair - S3 - 3.5

This is a start to a new series so it was a little slow getting into it.  There is character setup and a story to develop.  It seems everyone is jumping on the band wagon of having a continuing back story through different books.  I like it, it keeps a consistent flow through the books while getting a better feel for the characters.  I don't believe this author has done much of that in the past so only time will tell how the next book goes.  I am looking forward to it.

Brenda Novak - Discovering You - S2, 4.0

I know this is a little light for my usual reading choice, but you would understand if you have read any of the Whiskey Creek series.  I have loved them all.  It's a great selection of characters and diverse backgrounds that makes every book interesting and different.  I recommend them all. 

Helen Hardt - Possession - S3, 3

I might be a little hard scoring this book as I wasn't thrilled with the first two.  This book is much better but has it's issues too.  The first book (Craving) I found slow and too much push/pull for my liking.  The second book (Obsession) was better.  Had more story line and the characters got a little more involved.  In this third book there are a lot of loose ends to clean up so the pace is fast.  Which is good for the story but the pace is completely different when you look at the series as a whole.  I would of liked more consistently in the pace and story line through out.  You decide.
