POCKET BOOKS
I declare, in my mind, it is a tie between Nora roberts and Julie Garwood. I have been lucky enough to collect a few of the Julie Garwood books, and this is my latest acquisition yet.
This story is about the latest toast of the London society, Christina Bennet, who has a past cloaked in mystery ...and Lyon, the Marquis of Lyonwood, who has a past mired with betrayal and grief.
She is feisty and rebellious and he is stubborn and insistant. Not a match made in heaven...but as the story progresses, love conquers all... their own reservations, weak willed suitors,a treacherous aunt, a murderous father...
Blissful ending and absolutely delightful narration. I could ask for nothing more.

Forced to Marry - Barbara Cartland
RUPA PUBLICATIONS
It has been a while since I picked up a Barbara Cartland. This is the story of Miss. Gytha Sullivan, an orphaned Heiress living with her ailing Grandfather, and the dashing Lord Locke, who is a neighbor.
Circumstances force them to get engaged and they have to face a few foes together. Their adventures lead them to appreciate the finer qualities in each other, and they fall in love.
The title doesn't seem to be that apt since they were forced to get engaged, but they get married on their own volition.
Light reading, in the same vein as most of her books.

The Small Texan - J T Edson
CORGI BOOKS
Wow...can't believe that I have neglected this blog so much when I have actually bought/borrowed and read a few dozen books since I last posted.
Got an opportunity to raid an old friend's book collection and was introduced to a new author of westerns , JT Edson.
His books are a lot like Louise L'amour, but with a subtle sense of humour, a hint of irony and very lively characters.
This book is about a small Texan called Dusty Fog, who stands tall among other statesque texans by bringing peace among the troubled people.
Great narration and makes you want to keep reading more and more of his books...
