I have not tried Melissa Lenhardt, so I'll give her a try in the new year.<br /><br />I'm reading Jodi Thomas's newest one right now, and the slow sweet story is wonderful. There's just something in Thomas's storytelling that always appeals to me.Keira Soleorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440213826734580889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-33989350080793114002016-12-22T11:50:05.075-08:002016-12-22T11:50:05.075-08:00oh yes, I agree.

That's my new favorite for the year. I have Jodi Thomas on the TBR, so I better pull those out and read them. Hope you're doing the challenge in 2017. :)Dorinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091485214243243002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-68102991428136119152016-11-19T22:28:25.730-08:002016-11-19T22:28:25.730-08:00Yes, I like romance with heft to it.

While I enjoy wit and laugh-out-loud humor, fluffy stories don't do it for me.<br /><br />I'm a fan of historical westerns as well. Jo Goodman, in particular, is hitting the sweet spot for me these days. I also like Jodi Thomas.Keira Soleorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440213826734580889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-84780883721478144762016-11-19T17:43:43.049-08:002016-11-19T17:43:43.049-08:00Katharine Ashe was recommended to me as well so I&...Katharine Ashe was recommended to me as well so I'll put this one on my list. I know what you mean about historicals. I went through a real dry spell for a while. I finally figured out that what I really wanted was historical westerns and nothing else would satisfy until I found the grit. Glad you found a good one!Dorinehttp://thezestquest.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-62519688452116703872016-11-16T19:43:32.927-08:002016-11-16T19:43:32.927-08:00Willa, hope you like it!Willa, hope you like it!Keira Soleorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440213826734580889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-51184869958151464422016-11-16T17:31:54.096-08:002016-11-16T17:31:54.096-08:00So hard to find historicals to my taste these days...So hard to find historicals to my taste these days!

For the most part, I give a wide berth to the new historicals. It's rare to find a Meredith Duran or a Shelley Thomas, so I read reviews with an eagle eye to see what may appeal. This was my first Ashe.

But oh, how you tempt me! I've heard good things about Ms Ashe before, and I believe I may have something by her somewhere in the peaks and valleys of Cordillera TBR, but I think I'll put this one in my amazon wish list, and look for the next time is on sale.aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.com
